The finalists have been announced, and the ones i've seen are fantastic. This one charmed me big time.

It's comforting to know that somewhere out there there's a parallel universe where Daniel Songer and Glenn Beck have swapped lives and the luck they've been granted.

OR:

Before Fox News, there was "The Backyard Porch"

OR:

Glenn Beck has half a brain. This is the other half.

ALSO:

There's 148 episodes of this.

SERIOUSLY:

You don't have to watch all of this - turn the volume down and just let his passionate moments give you a giggle.

Monty Python's Milkman

Saved By The GTL



Remember when Mark Paul Gosselaar showed up on Jimmy Fallon a few months ago as Zach Morris, complete with blonde wig and giant mobile phone? It was like seeing your best friend from childhood, who looked exactly like the last time you saw him (unless you, like me, watched the College Years or the "Wedding in Las Vegas" made-for-TV movie). Knowing that his five best friends wouldn't show up behind him further cemented a truth you faced a long time ago: they're not real.

Maybe this is why Jersey Shore is so beloved. They definitely are real, and regardless if their friendships are based exclusively on the idea "we can make money together," interesting friendships have definitely been based on less substantial ideas (my best friends all come from the same college dorm).

And this is what makes this video so goddamn fun. Instead of tuning into TBS before school, I get to watch an untampered webcam video of these morons dancing to music I've inferred they would be into (it's clubby, it's Italian, it's probably their ringtones). We're beyond scripted hijinx. Should the experience of death resemble the final scene of Titanic, I imagine to many of us it will look exactly like this: all your best friends, jumping around in front of camera, giving you a smile.

My Daily Conversation With Facebook

While doing something productive.

FACEBOOK


Missed me, didn't you?

ME

No, I just wanted to tell you something pithy and leave.

FACEBOOK

While you're here, I got some juicy dirt on a friend of yours from high school.

ME

Her? Well, we weren't really friends.

FACEBOOK

Well, it's not really dirt. It's just some bad pictures of her.

ME

Can you please stop telling me stuff about this person? I really don't care.

FACEBOOK

You got it.


Ten Minutes Later.


FACEBOOK

Missed me, didn't you?

ME

I actually just stopped by out of habit. Wait a sec - is that another picture of that girl from ten minutes ago? I thought I told you-

FACEBOOK

This is a picture of a different friend of yours from high school. I've got the lowdown on him, if you want it. But it'll cost you... kidding!

ME

Well, she's there.

FACEBOOK

Do you want to tag her?

ME

What? No. I don't want to see him, or her, or any of these people.

FACEBOOK

They're in a relationship!

ME

Seriously, I don't care.

FACEBOOK

I thought you said you were friends?

ME

Yeah, but...

FACEBOOK

Why don't you let me get rid of them for you... forever.

ME

Forever? That's so final.

FACEBOOK

C'mon.. Do it. DO IT!

ME

Bye.

FACEBOOK

You'll be back!


Before bed.


FACEBOOK

Missed me, didn't you?

ME

Ugh.

FACEBOOK

Ooo, iPhone app. Fancy. Who pays your monthly bill?

ME

Shut up!

FACEBOOK

Wanna know what that girl Rebecca is up to?

ME

Who?

FACEBOOK

You don't recognize her? You ARE facebook offish.

ME

Night!
