The Heart, She Holler Trailer, You Guys

Gabe — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 15:00:36 +0000

Oh look. A new Adult Swim show from the creators of Wonder Showzen starring Kristen Schaal, Kurt Braunohler, Heather Lawless, and Patton Oswalt. It’s like if Justified was a goddamned nightmare!

Gabe — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 14:15:33 +0000

Senior Vaginal Correspondent, Kristen Schaal, offers a woman’s point of view on this heated debate. Meanwhile, Michele Bachmann is still a World Class Moron and this whole thing is entirely UNACCEPTABLE.

Check out all of these ADORABLE Harry Potter baby dolls. I promise you they are so so so so soooo cute. Just click on the link and look at them. Awwwww, they’re soo cuuuute and nooot scaaary! -io9
Here are a bunch of comedies that were adapted into TV shows that I had no idea about. I think I knew about maybe two of these. Also, I have a signed photo of the entire cast of the Clueless TV show. JEALOUS? (Yes you are very jealous.) (Also I have one of the cast of Moesha.) -Movieline
Check out how kind of weird this new clip from Rise of the Planet of the Apes looks. That isn’t a real ape at all! I want my money back! -FilmDrunk
Kristen Schaal on her date with Andrew Garfield. They pretty much could be married RIGHT NOW! It’s funny how the world works. Now I’ll have to marry him, I guess. Whatever. Since she didn’t, you know? He’s gotta marry somebody. -Splitsider
How do you guys feel about this ’90s Nickelodeon revival thing that is happening on Nickelodeon? Do you not care? I would rather not see any of it. I remember one time I watched Inspector Gadget as an almost-adult and it ruined the childhood memory of it. I never recovered! Oh yeah here is an article about it and about basically instant nostalgia. -NYTimes
Speaking of nostalgia, there is going to be a live-action Captain Planet movie I guess? Ugh. FIRE WATER WIND HEART UGH. -TheDailyWhat
The AV Club visits the Royal Tenenbaums house. Were any of you guys not a Tenenbaum for Halloween once? Just wondering. Anybody? Hello? -AV Club
I guess I’ve kind of painted myself into a Weston Cage doing karate for the paparazzi corner here. -The Superficial
The most interesting thing to me about this Jared Leto on a beach post is 30 SECONDS TO MARS: UNPLUGGED? Guys. Remember when Unplugged was so great? Remember how Nirvana’s second best album is Nirvana: Unplugged? What is happening to Unplugged? -Just Jared
Important Update: Betty White is NOT going to go to the Marine ball. Omgoodness. -Dlisted
Dakota and Elle Fanning talk about what it was like growing up “in the spotlight” in Vogue/are beautiful. -Celebuzz

The Simpsons Apologizes To Kristen Schaal

Gabe — Mon, 16 May 2011 16:30:01 +0000

Kristen Schaal was a voice performer on last week’s episode of The Simpsons but they spelled her name wrong in the credits. This week they apologized on the chalkboard. “Best. Apology. Ever.” Get it?

Happy Third Birthday, Videogum!

Gabe — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 18:30:31 +0000

Guys, if you’ll allow me for a brief moment to lay down the heavy armor of sarcastic deflection that I use to protect myself from the emotional pain of genuinely engaging with the world: last night’s Videogum 3rd Anniversary Comedy Show and Party at the Bell House was really wonderful. No joke, it was just the best. I think it was actually pretty special? It was a very fun night, to be sure, but I think it was even more than that! (And I have the Craigslist “Missed Connections” to prove it!) Not only was it great to perform and to watch some of my favorite comedians in the whole world (I’m talking the whole thing, like, internationally!) perform, and to eat delicious cake and talk to nice people and all-in-all enjoy a fun evening, it was also nice to think that other people also enjoyed it, and that together we have built a really special thing. I mean it! Videogum is not the biggest or most popular blog on the Internet by any stretch of the imagination, but the tiny corner that it has carved out for itself is, at least in my opinion, neat, maybe even important in some way, if I can be so grandiose as to even suggest that, and so it was a real treat, at least for me, to be able to celebrate that fact with some of you guys. If I had my way, you would have all been there, but as you know, I never get my way, ever. Not yet. Fingers crossed. Whether you were able to make it or not, though, you can still relive the magic through this fantastic photo gallery shot by Jessica Amaya.

I would also like to take a moment and thank a few people for helping to make last night such a success:

The Videogum 3rd-Anniversary Comedy Show And Party Is One Week From Pony Day, Which Is Today!

Gabe — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 21:00:04 +0000

Guys, this is just a friendly reminder that the very exciting anniversary event to celebrate Videogum’s third birthday is happening ONE WEEK FROM TODAY! Wowowowowoow! If you haven’t heard about the show, then you probably shouldn’t come, because it kind of seems like maybe you don’t read Videogum very much? I mean, you can come and we would love to have you, I’m just surprised you hadn’t heard about it? Because we’ve definitely mentioned it? Like a bunch? But, no, come! Come! I was just kidding. You should come. It’s going to be great. Look at this lineup (for the first time apparently? I mean, it is a little weird!):

Max Silvestri (Big Terrific, Gabe & Max)
Kurt Braunohler and Kristen Schaal (Comedy Central Presents, Flight of the Conchords)
John Roberts (Bob’s Burgers, The Christmas Tree)
Heather Lawless (Variety Shac, Be Kind Rewind)
Wyatt Cenac (The Daily Show)
AND MORE!!!!

What a wonderful show. You’ll see. Afterwards we will hang out and drink drinks specials and probably even eat some cake. If nothing else, come for the cake. That is an entirely reasonable reason for doing anything, no joke. RSVP here. Buy tickets here.

5 Kristen Schaal Smartphone Commericals

Gabe — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 16:30:45 +0000

Kristen Schaal could be in an advertisement for THE PHONE BOOK and I would want to buy one*! (Get it? The Phone Book is the most boring book! Your mom is in it.) Four more Kristen Schaal smartphone commercials after the jump. Wow.

Kristen Schaal! Megan Mullally! Bob’s Burgers!

bobsburgers — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 17:31:56 +0000

It’s time to share a few fun facts about Bob’s Burgers: First, it airs Sundays at 8:30 on Fox. Second, it stars Kristen Schaal, among other super-hilarious people. Third: this week’s episode guest stars Megan Mullally, and you can check out a clip below! But first, a word from Kristen (who, as it happens, will be appearing at the Videogum 3rd Anniversary Show in April!).

And now, the clip!

The Videogum 3rd-Anniversary Comedy Show And Party, Thursday, April 7th, Is Going To Be THE BEST!

Gabe — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 22:30:30 +0000

Whoa. You guys, Videogum is turning three years YOUNG next month! That is bonkers! Let me put it this way: when Videogum launched GEORGE W. BUSH WAS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Yikes! It is obviously very exciting to see how the site (and its wonderful community of terrific readers) has grown over the years into a very special and unique place on the Internet, but even more exciting is THE PARTY WE HAVE PLANNED TO CELEBRATE ALL OF THAT STUFF! First of all, we are going to have a comedy show, no doy. And it is going to be the best one yet. You think I am joking, but I am not joking. The joking will happen at the show, which is going to be INCREDIBLE, because look at this shit:

Max Silvestri (Big Terrific, Gabe & Max)
Kurt Braunohler and Kristen Schaal (Comedy Central Presents, Flight of the Concords)
John Roberts (Bob’s Burgers, The Christmas Tree)
Heather Lawless (Variety Shac, Stella)
Wyatt Cenac (The Daily Show)

AND MORE!!!!

Hosted by Gabe Delahaye

Holy cow. What an exciting line-up! It’s sad how everyone’s heads are going to explode. All of our thoughts and prayers are with everyone’s friends and family in this difficult but still very exciting time. Seriously, though, this is the Must See TV of shows. If this was a stock, Jim Cramer would shout some bullshit about it and then he would hit a red button and the sound of a fart breaking a piece of glass would play. That good! Very specific details after the jump:

The National “Conversation 16″ Video

Gabe — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 19:30:00 +0000

We all like The National, right, you guys? Right? Well, if some of us don’t like The National–whoops on you, wrongzos–we at least like music videos starring Kristen Schaal, John Slattery, and James Urbaniak directed by Daily Show/Bob’s Burgers writer Scott Jacobson, right? Right.
