When I was a wee little penultimate countdown, I had a favorite movie. A movie that I begged to see in the theatre multiple times and asked my parents to rent when it came out on video. A movie that I quoted incessantly and the mere mention would probably make my parents shudder. A movie that I had blocked out of my mind for years until reading this thread.
The movie: Clifford. Starring Charles Grodin (ugh!) and Martin Short – a 44 year old man playing an incredibly irritating 10 year old boy. IT IS VERY UNSETTLING. How did I love this movie so much!? I guess it was because I was a pretty irritating child myself.
I’m not sure if this counts as a children’s movie, I guess it’s a dark family-friendly comedy? At least this is what the internet tells me. If it’s too childish, feel free to retract this nomination. Otherwise, let the nightmare begin! WE’RE GOING TO DINOSAUR WORLD! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lplpw9tjd_E
Maybe Synedoche New York is one of those movies that makes a lot more sense upon second viewing. And because I lack the patience to ever sit through it again, I hope that Gabe watches it for me.
Next year: Nerdbot?
Oh, agree. I did this one 2 years ago and loved it.
My boyfriend and I enjoy getting creepy-weird with our costumes… last year we were Alice and the white rabbit (he purchased a terrifying easter bunny costume) and this year we’ll be a sideshow act. I’m the ringmaster, complete with a handlebar mustache, and he’s the bearded lady.
I would have had the same reaction (being that is my name), had it not been for how hard my face was cringing during that entire scene. No other emotions could escape from my clenched teeth prison.
I’m sorry to hear about the awful horrible day, rumpus. Reading videogum is good for cheering through tough times. The smart humor, glorious photoshops, and honest moments (like your comment above) make this my favorite site. It’s brought a smile to my face when I’ve been feeling pretty down.
Here’s my internet hug to you. I hope things look up.

You’d probably hug the heck out of me then. I look like this all the time.
My english degree is awesome for re-writing Dylan Thomas poems so they’re about Topher Grace! This might be the best use I’ve found for it so far. *Sigh*
Speaking of poetry… every try writing a sestina? Sestinas are the worst.
Do not go gentle into that good ‘net,
Old columns should burn and rage at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light (reading).
Though wise Gabes at their end know dark is right,
Because their monsters had forked much comments they
Do not go gentle into that good ‘net.
Good monsters, the last wave by, crying ‘What’s up with TG!’
Their frail pleas will be stored in an internet cache,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light (reading).
Wild Steves who trolled and complained of the Grace in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved him on his way,
Do not go gentle into that good ‘net.
Grave columns, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors [shooting_star.gif],
Rage, rage against the dying of the light (reading).
And you, my Topher, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your sassy looks, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good ‘net.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light (reading).
You mean 1880?
“Stupid bird! I never should have put you in charge!”
“If you look closely you can actually pinpoint the exact moment his heart breaks in two.”
The Lord of the Flies/ Model U.N. episode.
“We’ll live like kings! Damn hell ass kings!” – Bart (naturally)
“I eated the purple berries… and they tasted like burning. Ooooh.” – Ralph
I keep trying to leave, but the awesomeness of #fridaygum keeps bringing me back.
I like imagining bing less as a search engine and more as a joke-telling robot from the future.
Does he have an EXTRA pair of disguise glasses hanging from the chain around his neck?! I can only hope he has a cardigan under the flannel so he can make this his secondary disguise:
Bing does it again!
Mel Gibson OR Disguises
I know we’re onto baby fights now, but you guys… I just saw a Lady Gaga costume for babies.
I don’t know what to say. Maybe it’s cheaper to cover your baby in raw meat? I just don’t know anything anymore, monsters.
Sounds good! And here’s your new (horrifying) logo.
“LEAVE FACETACO ALONE!”
So jealous! I also had a dance party when the office emptied out. I emailed my friend and demanded a SKYPE DANCE PARTY, which ended up being her laughing at me as I lip-synced to Cee-Lo & wildly flailed by limbs. It definitely would have been better with a disco ball.
Sweet topic! Are you going to cite Hungrybear’s sell out in your thesis? Dooo it!
My biggest moments of satisfaction as I waste away in grad school is citing stuff I like in “real life.” So far I’ve managed to get away with making references to the Cure, the Clash, Soul Coughing, and soon will be making lots of references to viral videos in my dissertation. So, I’m gonna go ahead and count my time on videogum as “research.”

































YESSSS!!! Thank you so much for my new favorite gif!
Have you guys seen this movie? It’s incredible. Mac and me – the McDonalds sponsored rip-off of ET. There is even a McDonald’s birthday party/dance extravaganza: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdvO0tmNjGo
