A Christmas Freakout Video For 2011

I realize that it’s 2012 now and that we all should be leaving 2011 in the memories gutter where it belongs, and believe me WE WILL, but I think we’d be remiss to leave 2011 without spending some time on its #1 best Christmas freakout video of all time hands down throw the rest out the window don’t even bother taking them down to the garbage cans we don’t have any time. Truth be told it’s the only one I’ve seen, but I think that’s because cream rises to the top in these situations and leaves all the non-cream where bloggers can’t even find it because it’s so murky and disgusting and milky (or whatever). So, please enjoy. And remember 2011 as the year when a lot of stuff happened, no one went to the movies, and then a kid got an iPod Touch and really went crazy about it. Like, super crazy. So crazy that you think, “Uhhh, is he ok?” And you’re a little worried. But then you decide, “Oh, I’m sure he’s fine.” Mostly because you want to enjoy the video, but also because you’re pretty sure that he’s probably fine. Just excited. Right? Yes. Oh and also remember it as the year when you turned down your volume the appropriate amount (a lot) in order to watch that video.

We Should All Be So Lucky As To Find Something In This World That Makes Us Happy, Part Three

It’s hard out there! I know it’s hard out there. This guy knows it’s hard out there. If it’s not one thing, it’s another. You just have to keep your head down, and do whatever it takes to get through the day. For some people that means unwinding after a day at the office with a nice scotch and an episode of Ice Road Truckers. (“I’m just so excited to find out if they drive that truck successfully over that ice!”) For some people it’s taking a pottery class at the local community center, or swing dance lessons with a teacher you found on craigslist who smells like alcohol and plastic. It’s like T.I. said before he went to prison for attempting to purchase machine guns with silencers on them: you can have whatever you like! (Except machine guns with silencers on them.)

This is America!

The Whole World Has Gone Mad (Men)

There’s just too much Mad Men news lately, so here’s a bunch of it all in one place because this isn’t Madmengum.com:

There will be a Mad Men category on Friday’s Jeopardy (“What is Heineken!”), and there’s an online game version as well.

A blogger points out that it’s unlikely/impossible that Peggy could have heard Bob Dylan on the radio in October of 1962.

The actress who played Joy was one of the stars of the reality movie The Real Cancun.

The male cast of the show played golf and looked really dorky.

And after the jump, someone’s baby dances to the Mad Men theme.
