In this Funny or Die parody, comedian Nick Kroll’s alter-ego “Bobby Bottleservice” auditions for MTV’s “Jersey Shore.” In his audition video, he says he plans on using his winnings from the show (he’s under the impression it’s a competition with prize money) to buy a gold jet ski, as well as calf implants. Oh, and for those who are worried he might be a misogynist like Mike “The Situation” and Pauly D, no worries. “I say breasts because I love women and I don’t call them cans or big fat titties because I love my mother and I respect women.” Can the show get a ninth roomie please?

Peer Pressure: Go See “Up In The Air”
When I first heard about “Up In The Air,” it sounded a lot like “The Terminal,” only with George Clooney instead of Tom Hanks, which is an instant, mega-upgrade. Now that the flick from 32-year-old writer/director Jason Reitman (“Thank You For Smoking,” “Juno”) has been out for a week, everyone is going “Up in the Air” crazy. It has already been named Best Film of 2009 by the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures—which means it’s essentially the “Slumdog Millionaire” of 2009. The movies the Board of Review picked the last two years (“Slumdog” and “No Country for Old Men”) both got Oscars for Best Picture. The movie has also received Best Actor (George Clooney), Best Supporting Actress (Anna Kendrick of “Twilight“), and Best Adapted Screenplay. Keep reading »
History Is Cool Again In “The People Speak”
What are you doing this Sunday? If you know what’s cool, you’ll be rediscovering American history during The History Channel’s premiere of the documentary “The People Speak,” based on Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States. Yes, I know you are having flashbacks of falling asleep during history class watching dreary videos about Christopher Columbus, who sailed the ocean blue in 1492 with the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. Boring … right? But what if you were to hear Josh Brolin read the entries from Christopher Columbus’ personal diary or Eddie Vedder sing a Bob Dylan song? Now that’s interesting. Keep reading »

Little White Blob Goes On A Musical Adventure
Look, I don’t know anything about the singer in this video, JP Nataf, although I understand what the title means — “Come Tell Me.” But I do know that the little white blob-thing that stars in it is extremely cute.

Berkeley Men’s A Capella Group Sings Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face”!
Sorry I didn’t post this clip earlier of Noteworthy, the UC Berkeley men’s a capella group, singing Lady Gaga! I was too busy sending it to everybody and watching it twice.
Even if you don’t know all the words to “Poker Face,” it’s worth watching for the booty-shaking dance moves alone. Please put that lead singer on Broadway? Keep reading »

Anyway, Snooki explains what SnookTV is all about, above. I love her. Did I mention that I love her? I do. I love her. Keep reading »
