The 2012 Super Bowl Videogum Video Pizza Party!

Gabe — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 23:00:36 +0000

It’s hard to believe that just a few short months ago the town was divided into two teams, and this rag tag gang of rough and tumble players didn’t look like they’d be able to win a single game, much less make it all the way to the biggest game of the year, state. That’s what’s on tonight, right? State? Look, I’m not going to say that ALL I know about football I learned from a critically acclaimed but largely unwatched network family drama, but it’s probably fair to say that 60 percent of what I know about football comes from Friday Night Lights. And 30 percent comes from Peanuts comics. The remaining 10 percent is actually artichoke dip! But here we are. The Super Bowl! It’s AMERICA’S GAME! Whether you are watching it with your beer-hat-wearing best buds in the flatbed of a pickup truck in a parking lot somewhere (see? I get sports) or if you’re cuddled up on the couch with your 100 cats and a cup of hot tea, whether you just want to see that impossibly annoying fucking Jerry Seinfeld car commercial or if you actually do care whether one team gets more scorepoints than the other team in their pants and their hats, stick with your fellow Monsters for the minute-by-minute play-by-play. ARE YOU READY FOR SOME COMMMMMMENNNNNNTS?!

This Week In GIFs!

Another week come and gone, another State of the Union address addressed and forgotten, another Sundance missed, another Academy Award nominees announced and boring, another mayor racist and embarrassingly inadequate. So what else is there to say but, T! G! I! F!!!!!!!! Phew! I can’t believe all made it here, together, to the end of the week. We really did it this time, and we all deserve a reward. Some kind of meaningless award that doesn’t cost anything, but also hearkens back to the week we all somehow made it out of in one piece. Ummm, I don’t know. I don’t have any ideas. Do you have any ideas? What was that? GIFs? The award you want the most is to just see a bunch of GIFs from all the stuff we went through together this week? Ok, that’s totally doable! CONGRATULATIONS!

But What About The Pizza?

Well, ok, sure, you sound great. You have a wonderful singing voice. Thank you for sharing your talent with us, it’s really a blessing, but — not to be rude, certainly — but…who’s making the pizza? I’m sure you have some very capable employees, I’m not doubting that, but could you go back and see if they’re making the pizza? It’s just. Look, this has been an absolute joy, we love it when you sing, it’s just that we came here because we were hungry for pizza and from the looks of it you’re not making the pizza for us to eat right now. Just from the looks of it. Did you already put it in the oven? Are you sure it’s not burning? Can you just go check on it? (Via TastefullyOffensive.)

My god, remember the Virgin Diaries kiss from a few days ago? That was just the best. I still don’t fully believe it, to be honest — how COULD I? — but I want to believe it. And I do love it. So basically that kiss from the commercial for the TLC Virgin Diaries special is kind of like my religion. And right now I’m going through kind of a tough period with it but I’ll come out with a stronger faith because of it, and the ability to kiss THE BEST as a bonus. Yes, all of that sounds correct. So let’s relive that kiss with a few GIFs, and take a look back at the many other shining moments from the past week (pizza, ouija boards). It’s FRIDAY! It’s GIFTIME! Turn that frown upside down and let’s MAKE OUT LIKE GEESE GET FORCE-FED!

Domino’s Pizza iPad App Looks Fun, Delicious, And Insulting

Gabe — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 16:45:48 +0000

On the one hand, this game looks great. It’s got everything. Pizza. Puzzles. Bonus points. Manager reviews? And it’s not without precedent. I remember quite clearly that when I was a child in the late 1930s, Toys R Us sold a rubber disk that was supposed to be a make believe pizza dough that you could toss up into the air just like a real Papa John. So, this is basically just human nature, these pizza games. But also there IS something weird about a game that simulates a grueling, dehumanizing, Henry Ford-influenced assembly line minimum wage job. Right? That’s weird? We can all agree that it’s weird to try and beat the clock on the iPad while simultaneously watching the clock for your actual pizza to be made and getting so mad that it isn’t made already. And, like, how many hours would you have to work at a Domino’s making pizzas to earn enough money to buy an iPad? A million? A million hours before taxes? It’s literally one well known company logo away from an iPad app called Migrant Farmworker where you have to pick all the apples from the tree before INS comes over and asks to see your residency papers. I’m pretty sure this iPad app was the focus of the entire second volume of Karl Marx’s Das Kapital. “The worker is alienated from the product of his labor when it is turned into an iPad app for the exploiting class.” DOWNLOAD IT FROM ITUNES.

A guy named Mick Minogue made a Drive-style operation game for an art show in Ireland and don’t you wish you could play it?! It looks like it would either be very easy or very difficult. I can’t tell. Probably very difficult? But I can’t figure it out. So uh good job with your art, MICK. -Uproxx
There could maybe possibly be a Flight of the Conchords movie in the future! Though it seems like there could maybe possibly be an ANY TV show movie in the future. So whatever. But there is an article about this one! And it would be good! -THR
Uhoh, people are getting seizures during the birth scene in the new Twilight movie! Be careful out there, everybody. Even in the places that you think are the SAFEST (Twilight movies), you can still get seizures. -FilmDrunk
Here is a video that some GENIUS made about how to reheat your pizza. I won’t spoil it for you but it’s in a pan on the stove with a tinfoil dome over it. -TheDailyWhat
Kate Gosselin got some work done or whatever and is denying it, but HOLY MOLY she is looking good. I mean she is an evil person who has ruined eight adorable children and my goodness is she the worst but ladyyyyyyy. That doctor did a very good job and you should be proud. -TheSuperficial
I’m sorry fellas, but Anne Hathaway is OFF THE MARKET! She is engaged to a man we’ve never seen before. He has a very familiar face though, right? I can probably name like ten people who look like him. Ryan Gosling is one and Louis C.K. is another. Click to see what he looks like!!! -Dlisted
I wonder if Scarlett Johansson is relieved that now Zooey Deschanel is the actress whose singing everyone can’t stand. I would be relieved about that if I were here. Here she is, singing! -Celebuzz
Here are Movieline’s five best tweets about the Muppets movie. Did anyone see that? What did you think? I did and I didn’t really like it. I’m sorry if you did really like it! You can have your own opinions and I’ll have mine! -Movieline

I hope you enjoy them though! It comes once a year, just try to have fun with it, why not! You know what else comes once a year? The final game of the World Series! I’m almost 100% sure that that is on tonight! The Phillies aren’t in it I guess? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PHILLIES?! Anyway, so: GIFs. Because we’re entering Halloweekend, you should be on the lookout for some extra spooooooky GIFs lurking around where you’ll never suspect them! (With the other GIFs!) SO SCARY! ENTER IF YOU DARE! BOO!

“Pizza Party” Is The Last Song, We Don’t Need Any More Songs, Thanks!

Gabe — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 19:00:55 +0000

Guys, believe me when I say that music is important. It’s the universal language! I don’t actually know what means, and it sounds like it’s probably false. The universe is huge. There’s got to be something out there that is like “Music? Don’t speak it.” But it’s basically the universal language. Human beings have been making and enjoying it forever and we all love to listen to it and talk about it. Well, at least we used to anyway. That’s all over now. We have found the last song, and it is called “Pizza Party,” of course. Sometimes people will say that music is dead because they hear something so awful that it seems like humankind has passed some sort of irrevocable turning point beyond which we are nothing. That’s not what I’m saying at all. This is a celebration, bitches! Music is over and we don’t need any more songs because we found the best one! They say that life is a journey, not a destination, but it turns out that’s not true. Life is a destination. DESTINATION PIZZA PARTY!

Is it possible to vote for someone for President early? Like right now? And also, can we vote more than once yet? I am pretty sure I heard something about how everyone was going to get to vote a bunch more times now. FOUR MORE PIZZAS! (Via TalkingPointsMemo.)

YouTube: “Erin O’Keefe and Amy Milano slapped each other a combined 174 times in 15 seconds using slices of pizza seconds, a http://RecordSetter.com world record.” Oh good. PROVE IT.

Yay! THEY DID IT! Congratulations, of course, to Erin O’Keefe and Amy Milano on this incredible achievement. Congratulations also to everyone who commented on the YouTube page, you guys really set some records of your own. Here are a few of my favorites:
