Dear Videogum Staff: I once again nominate the 2009 film Amelia, the biopic about aviatrix Amelia Earhart starring Hilary Swank and Richard Gere, for The Worst Movie of All Time. This is a truly awful film. The following gif serves well as a metaphor for my viewing experience of this film.
The film begins and its horribleness is soon readily apparent. But I am stuck in the theater with a date!! What can I do?? I seek to mentally flee the film. I close my eyes and run, run to a happy place to escape the terribleness of the film, but I couldn’t run fast enough, fast enough. I COULDN’T RUN FAST ENOUGH. So BAM, the film knocks me into a puddle of suck. Richard Gere is a disaster, Hilary Swank is wearing fake teeth and a bad wig! The plot makes no sense! I valiantly struggle to my feet, woozy, ready to flee again and from the other direction the dastardly film returns to knock me BAM into a puddle of suck again! Argh, director Mira Nair! Why must you be such a bad director?? HAVE YOU NO MERCY??? No you don’t. No you do not. I shall be here next week and every week with a similar message till this film’s inclusion is secure. Good day and thank you for your time. |

Nicholas Sparks picks up a Sweet Romance scented douche by Summer’s Eve, “This is what I am”, he says, placing the douche back on the shelf. “This is what I am”. |

Ed. note: so, Notsewfast and Steve Winwood aren’t allowed to be in the same room together, right? Because their polarizing powers of vote accumulation would rip the fabric of existence to shreds? BE CAREFUL!

| You’re thinking of Steve Winwood and fourth week. It’s only Tuesday and he already almost has a lock on it at this point.
Actually, everybody downvote this comment. Let’s all try and help Steve out! |

Ed. note: well played everyone. You managed to contain Steve Winwood to just the second and third lowest comments of the week. Sad news for Steve’s attempts to shoot the moon and get all the downvotes, but that is how games are played.
This Week’s Caption Contest Winner
Ed. note: See above. Winners all over the place.

ellen degeneres and bill brasky compete against each other in an annual drinking contest. |

| Posted in: Ellen DeGeneres Fun Facts | |||
Ed. note: if I could, I would award the entire Ellen DeGeneres Fun Facts thread, but I did that last week, and these rules are real and exist and have to be taken seriously. So, good work, lizzing, one might even say great work, but everyone who commented on that thread should know that it was only because of make-believe rules that I made up myself and am under absolutely no actual obligation to follow that kept you from being the winner.

The weather is getting warmer, so Its time to don that swim wear and have a Monster beach party this weekend!
I’m all ready! As you can see in the background, I’m daintily applying sunscreen to my shins.

Wow, you cleaned up this week with the awards. Very impressive esp considering you’re a baby
But then again, that baby should not know what porn parodies are yet!
That is a babyist comment.
I saw this on a poster earlier today, and although I was unable to snap a pic, Google Images will be my photog for now.
I’m starting to rethink me position on the McCain/Palin ticket.
Also, thanks for the upvotes everybody. Does this mean I get to be president of the mathaletes?

You need to go take a nap or something mister. 3 in one MB? And I can’t even get MY CRAMAZING COMMENT in?
I’m gonna feed you warm milk and burp you so fast…
The Baby Got Gabe’s Shouts Out Way back before he was born! –
like I said before, I am just going to upvote you automatically. it’s kind of a sure thing.
So mysterious Bob
I meant to post this,
I like how my thoughtful and well constructed personal feelings sprawled out for the virtual world to trample on never get upvotes, but if I post nothing, I get an upvote within 10 seconds.
Look at the face of cocaine in that picture. Take a good long look.
ENHANCE
YIKES.
Your silence speaks volumes
I know I’m tardy to the party, but just wanted to say thanks for this pic – it’s gone straight up on my wall-of-joy at work (it’s the only thing standing between me & crushing despair)

IF YOU have still not SENT me your AVATAR and would LIKE ME TO use that SHIT PLEASE send it TO ME pronto at AnAmPatriot@gmail.com .
I promise I WILL NOT USE your email FOR ANYTHING BUT good. LIKE HELPING you find GREAT DEALS ON pills THAT MAKE that special PART grow!
I’ll get it to you this weekend.
My special part needs no help growing
(just pretend im not female & this will be funnier)
Maybe your special part is your nose? Or, right pinky-fingernail?
what do you need avatars for? I’m out of the loop.
I think it’s for a photomosaic of Gabe’s face or something
Aw, man! I had my highest rated comment ever and still no luck. Sigh. I guess I can’t really complain that all you other monsters give me such gems of comedy to get me through my work day. This monster will just have to keep on keepin’ on and just rejoice in the fact that I was part of last week’s collective Editor’s Choice.
Yay for gifs being allowed on the Monsters’ Ball again?!
Its only gifs that are alone without text that arent allowed. I think?
Text is important. Where would werttrews Amelia submissions be without them?
TECHNICALLY that image is a .jpg
because tinypic is weird and blah and lawnmower man.
I mean: Werttrew, ruler of the gif, is above the system and answers to no man!
just his wife.
Thanks for the assist! Sorry for stealing your joke. mmfcl
Not stealing, majorly improving! Well done, That One!
If You’re going to Steal, Steal from the Best
I’d like to call a motion that ‘GIF of the Week’ should really have its own shelf on this wonderful bookcase we call the Monsters’ Ball.
Although I guess if that ever happened werttrew could pretty much just set up camp there.. But still. The fact is that werttrew has made gif-ing an art, and deserves tiresome weekly recognition.
All in favor?
I!

Let’s do it!!!

You’re your own worst enemy here. How can I upvote if i cant see the little thumb?
How come I can’t vote on this?!

My little heart swelled when I saw that you had succeeded at your task. Congratulations Godsauce!
Okay, so hotlinking was a bad idea. In reparation I will post the awesomest picture I can find: Batman fighting a shark with a lightsaber:
that is so hot.
Nothing can compare to that, but this is the awesomest picture I have.

Oh, whoops, in case there’s any confusion, I am NOT Shaun Tan. I wasn’t plugging my own site. However, if you’re really interested in seeing some of my own art, you can check me out at http://www.gophersheadbuttinggorillas.com
I’m so confused! I have no idea whether to upvote you anymore! You have definitely flipped the system.
I wonder who will win!
My bet is on the dude on the left, guy on the right looks like a dirty hippie.
SO close to having the sweep, maybe next week. Stick with it.
Man, when I read the #3 from That One, I instinctively looked for the upvote button. Well done.
Um, no offense, #1, 2 and 4.
I almost made it in this week with this gem, but I digress. This image will soon begin to embed itself in internet WITHOUT Monster’s Ball’s help, of this we can be sure.
I’m wondering if there were any Juggalo Scientists out there who were crestfallen when they first heard that song. There whole life’s work completely dashed to pieces by magical magnets.
I guess that song is rather POLARIZING, huh? (Wakka wakka–magnet humor!)
Gangy, you have won this cold Juggalo’s heart. Will you be my ninja?
Of course. Here’s what our wedding will look like:

I find it tough to believe that Obama’s the ONLY one of these fellas to have killed a man.
Don’t forget Violent Gabe:
Um, a lot to say here. I wasn’t around for last week but I read through it all and it was GREAT (I missed out on a free ticket to the ball!) and again this week-> GREAT, just GREAT. In general this place has been GREAT lately so Happy Birthday Videogum! You are GREAT!
Oh and you monsters! You guys are GREAT especially!
PS great is weird looking word.
THIS IS FOR LIZZING, CONGRATS DOOD!
Your MSPaint skills are unmatched!
Mirror, mirror on the wall – who’s the prettiest one of all?
It’s lizzing! Because she’s very pretty!
While I agree (Sexy NYC Monstahs abound!), This is slightly teh creepy.
i like how that other chump in the background is weeping
Has the internet in general jumped on this meme yet? I wanna see more!
I don’t think you do want to see more. The cabinets one is the funniest of them that I’ve seen. The others go to some pretty horrible places. I apologize in advance…
I will never understand why so many people still seem to think that in 2010, the entire country of Mexico is still hanging out in giant hats and serapes. They have sweaters in Mexico too, people. Come on.
KP, I have it on good authority that you are a Bay Area monster. If that’s the case, head over to the Bay Area Monsters thread in the Dave Delahaye fan club on facebook. We are trying to set up a meeting.
Did I fall off?
Got you in your room, ripping every Steve Winwood poster on the wall off?
Just because I told Gabe to turn LOST off?
Now I got you sitting back with a smirk
Downvoting me with your arms crossed?
Questioning Steve Winwood’s credibility (what?)
Asking if it’s still in me to make Worst Comment
As if I need your downvotes
I got Worst Comment three weeks in a row, mothafucka
A rip rap rippity roooooooo
I hope your next meme is writing everything in raps, Steve!
Seriously Winwood? After taking the torch on being most hated on monster, You’re gonna take this from me too?
It’s not enough I miss MB by one vote (NOT BITTER AT ALL)
I mean, One Week you make ridiculous Jokes about my Skillz while copping credit for my Steez on the origin of the term Gummalos (Sadly/Gladly, Yes, I started that)
Then The rest of the monstahs aint even payin attention to when I call you out on your assclownery
Now You got people claiming you need to rap meme yourself (something I considered back when I joined and there was Random All Caps Man [AnAmPat] and Mis Spelling Monkey Guy [Da Cake Eatur])
That’s it Steve, the gauntlet’s been thrown down.
Steve Winwood, Ya been good, but time to go
Don’t even try it cu, you dyin cu, go back to ya show
Chuck E Cheese needs your ugly mug back on the stage
to calm these bad ass kids and parents frothin in rage
You want to be the worst each week -Trust me you are
You can try and bust raps each week – wont get you far
You’re an animatronic asshole whose circuits are fried
That’s why when you sing in your show you only blink one eye
Go play w your Goofy Puppet, Old School Jeff Dunham
Leave the rhymin and the timin to folks with trainin and cunning
Sick of hearin about Lost or arms crossed or kriss kross

Both good raps. Both lacking in terms of sidehugs. Keep at it, guys!
Keep stuntin’ DS3m.
WOAH. Is Steve Winwood a part of ICP?!
Steve, you should come into the chatroom sometime. It’d be a blast!
I second this!
That really would be the Worst.*

GO on Trolls, Keep Trolling.
Seriously, Fuck Unnecessary and Egregious Downvoters
is you relly a jugalo?
I don’t like you cause you told Gabe to turn Lost off in an unimaginative and uninteresting way. And cause you are contrary for the sake of being contrary (which makes you a part of the groupthink, and not above it). But keep doing what you doing Steve Winwood. In the Court of popular opinion, the majority seems to enjoy your schtick, but Justice Pizza respectfully DISSENTS.
This week looks like it was a good one. Probably because I went on vacation.
honorable mention to the ICP post comments, I say, I swear that kept me entertained for like an entire day
If I would have been on the ball, this one would have won best comment of all time: http://tinyurl.com/yansgjm
So I clicked on the link then went into the other room leaving that page up and my boyfriend used my computer.Now he’s been looking at me like I am the dumbest person he’s ever met. MLIICP
I love how everyone shows up for Monster’s Ball to end the week, like the cast at the end of a ’70s variety show coming out to wave at the audience.
or when wilson would come out at the end of home improvement holding a tiny fence in front of his face!
Like Saturday Night Live? Or Hee Haw? Sha Na Na?
Sha Na Na the band had a TV show called Sha Na Na?!? WHAT?!?
I’ve actually never seen the end of a Hee Haw because my dad would turn it off early so we could still make Saturday night Mass.
NOW YOU ARE ONE STEP CLOSER TO FIGURING OUT WHAT MAKES ME TICK
I miss Steve…….
oh bummertime! will you ever be happy?
My first videogum comment! Hey guys, hello. I’d just like to say hi. (I’m so bad at introductions!!) I’d also just like to thank all of you guys for being so awesome this week and making me want to put this username I registered to secretly upvote you all to use! Because this week I was stalking as usual and then decided “Hey! They look like they’re having TOO MUCH FUN, and I want to be part of it!” I just hope all you awesome people are still here for Videogum’s 5th birthday when I’m allowed to sit at the adult table, this fold up chair is uncomfortable and NO MOM, I don’t need you to cut my meat anymore.
Ain’t no party like a Videogum party cause a Videogum party don’t stooooooooop!
Oh God please ignore what I just said, that was terrible.
I won’t ignore it because it was GREAT. And because you’re right, Videogum parties don’t stop and that’s why I’ll see you at Videogum’s 4th birthday (earlier, I forgot I just had a birthday. This is awkward.), because that party on Thursday is still going on now, right? And it will be for two more years? Because they don’t stop? Perfect.
Your first comment is a winner! Extra special deposit in my LOLk.
i will officially welcome you when you get a picture.
Can we be friends now? That’s how peer pressure works right?
yes, welcome!
This is why i randomly check MB on a saturday afternoon. But I mean, guys, obviously I’m only here cuase I have this cray cray life and am resting up for another insane (clown posse) night!
I’ve seen the local news footage to this. They said the cat banged his mouth on the sidewalk and lost a couple teeth. Poor guy.
Why did i laugh at this?
because cats are awful?
Or is it because I am awful?
*hint* Cats are awful.
I signed up just to follow Steve Winwood’s Odyssey-like journey to become one of you. Not in a mean way or anything. I was surprised by the levelheadedness of some the videogum community when dealing with him. I am one of those people who follow multiple blogs but I don’t comment on any of them, but I felt compelled to join because there in not a single other blog where Steve wouldn’t have just been made fun of until he felt left out. Even the people who made fun of him did so in a not so mean and funny way.
like I said before I am a fan of many blogs, however; I am a fan of only one commenter. I am your fan Steven Winwood. I root for you. nothing would make me happier than to see you win the prized Monster’s Ball comment of the year award. Steve! Steve! Steve!… etc
Your Name suits Your Ideology (Winwoodism)
So far the rules of Winwoodim are:
1. Steve Winwood
2. Steve Winwood
3. Write out “Odyssey-like journey” whenever possible instead of just “odyssey”.
4. Make typos that take the context out of your sentences, such as “there in not a single other blog”.
“Odyssey-like journey” could work. It conveys a specific reference to Homer’s work, rather than the common definition. And given the intensity with which Winwood strapped himself to his mast of terribleness in an effort to resist our Siren’s song of endless awesome, the allusion is apt.
I think Steve Winwood and Gabe met at the nursing home when they tried to take the same bingo card, cause Steve Winwood seems like a crotchety old man.
anyone bored this weekend should watch this great Gabe and Max video about using the internet with Youtube’s Closed Captioning turned on.
