Whoa, check out this photo of some dwarves from Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit! (HAHA. GOTCHA!)

The Joker Doing Elmo Doing Smeagol, Obviously

Gabe — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 14:30:22 +0000

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been one of those people who just leaps out of bed ready to start the brand new day. Would that I were! That seems like a really nice way to live. A little corny, maybe, but corny is nice. Corny is hopeful. Corny is honest. Corny is not sleep, though, and sleep is the dream. Even when I’ve got something going on that I’m genuinely very excited about and can’t wait to get back to work on, it’s still kind of a toss-up between doing that and hitting the snooze button for the ninth time and snoozing forever. They say you should follow your dreams and that is just what I would like to do most of the time, follow them straight to hell. Then there are mornings where you wake up and the first thing you see is someone in full Dark Knight Joker make-up doing Lord of the Rings character impersonations via Elmo ventriloquism and you wonder if perhaps you have succeeded. WHERE ARE WE? ARE WE STILL DREAMING? ARE WE DEAD? AT THE VERY LEAST CAN WE SLEEP/DIE FOR JUST A FEW MORE MINUTES AND/OR ETERNITY? I’M NOT SURE IF I CAN FACE ALL OF THIS. (Via TheDailyWhat.)

One Lord Of The Rings Trilogy Blu Ray DVD Giveaway To Rule Them Ugh

Gabe — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 17:45:24 +0000

We don’t do a lot of giveaways around here, because giveaways can be kind of a hassle, and also how many Bones Season 4 rubber coin wallets do you guys really want? But when the offer came to host a giveaway for a complete set of the Lord of the Rings movies on Blu Ray DVD (available in stores now!), that actually seemed kind of appropriate. You guys are all a bunch of nerds! And nerds love these movies! The prize package includes the full trilogy, as well as a bunch of other junk that you will probably tell your friends you don’t even care about as you secretly get the poster framed and wear the New Zealand jade necklace (?) under your stained Funkin Gonuts shirt. Anyway, here is the complete list ONE lucky winner will receive:

Neat! Obviously, you’re going to have to rake a BUNCH of extra lawns this season if you’re going to save up for a Blu Ray DVD player, but it’ll be worth it! So, here’s how to win: you know that part in the movie when Legolas is like “You have my bow,” and then Gimli is like “And my axe!”? You know that part? Uh, guess what, I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT PART. Just tell us what you would contribute to the Fellowship. (SEXT your response from inside your locker, where you have almost certainly been stuffed.) Whoever gets the most upvotes wins. Very easy. Very democracy. Winner will be announced in this week’s Monsters’ Ball. Good luck!

The Videogum Why Don’t YOU Caption It? Contest: Orlando Bloom’s Honorary Degree

Gabe — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 21:37:00 +0000

Orlando Bloom was awarded an honorary degree from the University of Kent in Canterbury, England today. He is now an honorary Bachelor of the Having a Pretty Face Arts. (No elfo.) Or maybe it is for Archery? Horseback Riding While Doing Archery? Ent Studies? I am not sure. I do know that he graduated Suma Cum Orcs. Get it? A little Lord of the RIngs humor for you Bloomheads out there. “I was up all night at the Legolasbrary cramming for the one test to test them all!” (Woof.) Granted, this picture is not quite as funny as this picture, but it is still pretty funny. I wonder if he’s going to make his family refer to him as “Doctor Bloom” from now on. “But, Orlando, you were only awarded an Honorary Bachelor’s degree, not an Honorary Doctorate. It makes no sense.” “Bloody shut up, mum.” Of course, in England, Honorary Bachelor’s degrees are called Honorary Lorries.

Winner will receive an honorary placement (get it? you get it) in this week’s Monsters’ Ball. (Image via JustJared.)

Kanye West’s “Coldest Winter” Is Maybe Even Too Cold!

Gabe — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 19:39:16 +0000

Kanye West’s new “Coldest Winter (remix)” video, you guys:

Yikes. That is just an incredibly cold winter. On the plains of Mordor or whatever this is. Kanye is like, “one beat to rule them all!” Total beat wraith.

P.S. Look at that! Video on Videogum! Web 2.Blah!

Lord Of The Role Models: Where Comedy Nerds And Fantasy Nerds Meet

Lindsay Robertson — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 10:18:25 +0000

Maybe it’s because I watched Role Models again this week (the unrated version, wooo-woooooo, so dirty), but I found this new, not-late-at-all-because-Role-Models-just-came-out-on-DVD-remember mashup of the Lord Of The Rings trailer using RM footage to be charming and “precious” (groan):

Jane Lynch as Galadriel = genius. Also, apropos of not much, my current favorite line from Role Models is:

Martin (A.D. Miles): “I’ve heard of popcorn in the face but this is ridiculous!”

If I ever meet him, I’m going to say that, and then we’ll be best friends.

Gandalf And Bilbo Baggins Are Lovers

Gabe — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 11:20:08 +0000

As a professional author of fan fiction, I’m always on the look out for ways to improve my craft, and the best way is to read the work of my peers. But the next best way is to have a comedian read from my peers for me. Thankfully, fellow femslash-selfinsertionist Chris Gethard has taken it upon himself to create a series of web videos in which he gives a dramatic reading from some of his favorite erotic fan fiction. In this episode, he tackles a story in which Gandalf and Bilbo Baggins fuck each other. A lot. Very NSFW language. Headphones up.
