Hey, What’s Up With Topher Grace

For some reason, on more than one occasion in the past week, I have found myself watching snippets of MTV’s new show, 16 and Pregnant. Have you guys seen this show? It’s the worst! And it is in its second season! I mean, on the one hand, I respect MTV’s attempt to provide it’s youthful audience with an alternate and unvarnished depiction of people their age. In that sense it is a refreshing departure from the STD-filled-hot tub bodyshot-parties that have made up the bulk of MTV’s programming schedule for the last 10+ years. But between the show’s Juno-rip-off aesthetic to its manipulation of teenagers’ insatiable thirst to be on television without any regard for the consequences in order to create an ad-revenue-generating schadenfreude laced spectacle of what must be the single most difficult moment in their entire short lives ever, it’s kind of gross. And by kind of I mean super. It’s supergross. I’m all for offering up vital human stories that explore what it is to be human, but these are babies having babies. At the very least, this show should have been called MTV’s True Yikes.

Of course, in season six, episodes 13 and 14, of That ’70s Show, Eric (Topher Grace) and Donna (Laura Prepon) had a teen pregnancy scare. And so it goes. Hakuna Matata. The more things change, the more they stay the same, you guys. Speaking of Topher Grace, what is up with him?

I Am Just Also Really Looking Forward To The Funny Or Die Show

In addition to looking forward to the Ricky Gervais Show, I am also really looking forward to the Funny or Die show, Funny or Die Presents. Based on the trailer above, they will have an episode of Drunk History, I know that Rob Huebel and Paul Scheer made some kind of bank robbery episode, there’s something with Zach Galifianakis, who at this point is all the description you need, I suppose, and the thing that I am most looking forward to is an episode featuring a live performance of Brett Gelman‘s one man show, 1000 Cats. PAH!

I recognize that I have written two full posts gushingly promoting HBO shows this week. SO SUE ME! Is it my fault that a television network actually pulled its head out of its butt for once? Not that I would say no if HBO offered to scratch my back (with cash) in return. It literally would take a $50 gift certificate to Sephora to buy my integrity. (Via @jwoliner.)

LOLOLet’s Go: New York

This is a useful guide to the city for people who love great comedians (David Cross, Kumail Nanjiani, Brett Gelman, Dave Hill, @julieklausner) but hate good ideas. Tourists, do not listen to these guys!

Fat Upper Female Genitalia Area

Comedy duo Cracked Out recently moved from New York to LA, which is sad news for New York, and not news at all in LA, where news must involve either cocaine or impossible sadness. Here is a video for their song “FUPA.” It is NSFW.

This isn’t my favorite Cracked Out song. My favorite Cracked Out song is “Bennigan’z.” They should make a video for that. Also, this is what Lindsay thinks all hip hop sounds like. If you told her that this was a video of Lil Wayne off of Tha Carter III, she wouldn’t believe you, but she would definitely do a quick Google Image search before telling you to shut up.

It’s The Thought/Money/Skull That Counts

Gabe — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 11:12:37 +0000

Brett Gelman got Jon Daly a birthday present!

Joke response 1: I hate gag gifts. They’re such a waste of money. What are we, in junior high?

Joke response 2: don’t you hate when someone gives you your grandma’s skull and it doesn’t fit and you have to return it?

Joke response 3: Damien Hirst is always trying to make everyone else at the party look cheap.

UPDATE: Brett Gelman went to jail.

Free Advertising: Take 5′s “Little Bit Of Luck” Is Weird, Creepy, And Mad Talented, Son

If you live in New York, then you’ve been seeing a lot of this guy:

He’s the new homunculoid spokesperson for the New York Lottery, “Little Bit of Luck.” He’s on subway posters, phone booths, and also TV.

Gross and weird, right? Well, what if I told you that “Little Bit of Luck” was a perfect example of how little you know about most of the people you see on television or in the movies.
