Even though Lindsay and Gabe are friends, they very rarely agree on anything. Every day, they have a fight about something. On Fridays, we publish one.
gabe: How can Mark Wahlberg be destroyed?
lindsay: Mark Wahlberg cannot be destroyed.
lindsay: He has been so hardened by the mean streets of South Boston.
gabe: he is invincible!
gabe: he should have been destroyed so many times
gabe: by his choices
gabe: by the choices he has made
lindsay: Like his huge fake penis in Boogie Nights
gabe: i'm pretty sure his huge fake penis in boogie nights
gabe: was the complete inspriation behind Medellin in entourage
gabe: the fake penis in boogie nights is what ruined vincent chase's career
Michael Scott can will YouTube videos into existence by the sheer force of making them up! On last night's episode of The Office, Holly and Michael ask the Dunder Mifflin gang to admit any unethical activity they've participated in while at the company. When nobody answers, Michael makes his own confession about the days following his discovery of YouTube, claiming to have "watched Cookie Monster sing "Chocolate Rain" about a thousand times." At that moment, a jillion Office fans took to the internet to see if the video existed, but were disappointed. But now it does!
To promote the release of her new record, Circus, on November 30 MTV will air a 90-minuteinfomercial "documentary" in which Britney Spears explains her crazy lonely self in her own new designed-by-Marlboro voice:
It'll be like Truth Or Dare, if Truth Or Dare had been directed by Madonna's publicist. We're all going to learn a lot of things they want to show us, but what about Andy Dick's on the record special? Andy Dick doesn't want to live off camera either!
Last night was the first of three SNL's Prime Time Election specials, and it was just eh. The first half was a very long parody of Tuesday night's debate that basically had three jokes: Dan Rather Tom Brokaw cutting the candidates off, Bill Murray playing himself as a town hall audience member, and John McCain wandering around. The second half was a Thursday Weekend Update, complete with unbearable guests. Here's the sketch that had Bill Murray!:
While it was better than almost anything else supposed-to-be-funny in prime time, it didn't come close to the hour of power we're blessed with four nights per week in Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.
The point of this anti-gay marriage ad is that marriage between one man and one woman is so simple even a person who can't feed herself and poops in her pants can illustrate it if her stage mother yells at her to "make the Barbies kiss and you'll get a cookie!" It's so stupid:
According to this logic, I know for a fact that a lot of stuffed animals of various genders and species were legally wed in the early 1980s. Stupid people are the dumbest! (Via Fey Friends.)
With just 20 days until the best comedy in the whole entire world comes back to TV to give us a reason to live other than the election, NBC premiered a new promo for the third season of 30 Rock last night. And it stars Oprah, and she talks! (Also Jennifer Aniston and Steve Martin.):
As Alec said, this season is going to be objectively awesome.
In a video on a section of the Obama site called The Talk, Obama voters (one of whom has braces-with-the-little-rubber-bands and is only 13) tell stories about how they've given "The Talk" about registering to vote (and voting for Obama) to their more ignorant family members:
It's a video that kind of recalls Sarah Silverman's Great Schlep viral sensation, but with that total dick who says his grandparents "won't have to buy him that extra sweater" if they vote for Obama but he "won't help them with text messaging and tivo" if they don't. And if that doesn't work, if they vote for Obama they get three M&Ms! (You know, like potty-training?) At first you're like "Wow, these people are condescending." until you realize they're up against, well, this. (Thanks to M.E. for the tip!)
We're not big fans of Dr. Drew around here, so it's with reluctance that I call even minimal attention to the supertrailer for Season 2 of Celebrity Rehab, but I do so for one reason: Gary Busey's back! (Cameos on The Cho Show don't count.) Whoever is making these "supertrailers" for VH1 deserves a promotion because they make the TV seem a lot more compelling than it probably actually is:
I know Gabe is gonna be real mad when he sees I put this up, so I would like to encourage him to watch 'til the end, when Dr. Drew Pinsky has his own drama queeny breakdown! It's so hard being The Worst. Everyone wants a piece.

Blogging about TV and movies isn't all fun and videogames. Every week, Lindsay or Gabe will be presented with a physical or mental challenge that tests their bravery, patience, and taste.
The Challenge: Despite being averse to cameras, teamwork, exotic foods, travel, haircuts, and physical exertion, I have to submit an audition tape to Survivor. The Result: As with the Saw marathon challenge, once again I find myself rocking back and...
