Voila! It's been 13 years, but that apple pie finally enacted its disgusting, horrifying revenge on Jason Biggs. Thank you, American Reunion and Funny or Die, for giving all of us pastry-themed night terrors that will surely endure for 13 more years to come. At which point we'll recover just in time to watch American Nursing Home in theaters.
Oh my gosh, look at her. She's writing a post about a new Jenny Slate video while sitting on an air mattress. Oh, that's right, she probably hasn't bought furniture yet. She's so graceful, the way she's kind of hunched over the computer screen wrapped in a blanket – is that blanket from Costco? Yeah. It looks really comfortable. Oh, I bet now she's writing an email to her dad. She's, like, she's thoughtful, but it's the kind of thoughtful where she lets the people in her life know that they're important to her. Do you know what I mean? She connects with people. (This self-esteem technique is [...]
Melissa McCarthy is announcing the Emmy nominations on Thursday morning. In order to be fully prepared to let the world know the nominees for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program, she enlisted the help of an abusive Joel McHale in this video by Lucia Aniello and Paul Downs. Not the smartest move, McHale. Now, if you're nominated, McCarthy will just swap in someone else's name instead.
As of right now, there's no football season happening this Fall. That could change any day due to ongoing negotiations, but really, who knows? But Funny or Die was nice enough to give a dozen or so players some work during their unexpected downtime. Also, Taylor Lautner.
The new short, directed by former full-time Funny or Dier Eric Appel and written by Alex Fernie and Ryan Perez, also stars Ray Liotta, Dennis Haysbert, Kevin Costner and NFL Network talking heads Rich Eisen and Marshall Faulk. Meanwhile, Tom Brady is somewhere shooting commercials for Uggs.
Like a sculptor carves a piece of marble to find the statue hidden within, so too has Found Footage edited a bathing suit contest to be bikini-babe-free, leaving only the audience's surprisingly staid reactions behind. I've never been to a bathing suit contest, but based on this footage it apparently elicits the kind of deep contemplation normally reserved for a parent's wake or doctor's office. Hope you had your blood pressure checked recently, or you might find yourself pondering the ineffable mysteries of human existence, in addition to some sweet, sweet butts.
In this exclusive video interview written and directed by Horatio Sanz, worldwide celebrity Joseph Kony speaks out about how it feels to have more Youtube hits than Rebecca Black. For someone so famous, it's a little weird that he's still not verified on Twitter. But he takes it in stride. Haters gonna hate.
Sure, making fun of hipsters may be getting a little worn out, but when you make a character called Hipster Foxworthy, in which Jeff Foxworthy has moved to Williamsburg? You get a pass. This one's from Bobby Chicago, the sketch group that's sent not one but two writers to SNL: Christine Nangle and brand-new hire Pete Schultz.
Here's the latest video from sketch duo BriTANick, in which something happens between our two heroes that can only be ameliorated by a telling of the whole story, from the beginning. No, the real beginning.
Here's the latest from BriTANick: a new show about local eateries that is actually a thinly veiled excuse for one of the hosts to stalk an ex. I'm pretty sure this is exactly how Guy Fieri got his start.
Here's the latest episode of web series "Duder," starring Splitsider's own Finally Screenings author Alden Ford. In this episode, we see the potential risks of a hastily written Facebook wall post. Be careful out there, folks! The internet can be a dangerous place for social interactions.
Bill Maher's Feb. 23 standup show “CrazyStupidPolitics: Bill Maher Live From Silicon Valley" will kick off a new Yahoo! comedy channel. Maher's decision to distribute his special online echoes Louis C.K.'s recent announcement that he's releasing his own next hour himself via PayPal. “I want to do my act so that millions of people, and not just thousands at a time, can see it," Maher says.
The Yahoo! channel will also air our beloved web series Seven Minutes in Heaven from SNL's Mike O'Brien, a Funny or Die web series featuring Seth Morris, and a weekly sketch series created by the agency that represents Ed [...]
After having his junk destroyed in Crabwalkin', Patton Oswalt's 5-Second Films career continues with the complete annihilation of his being in You Got Mail. On one hand, it's sad to see Patton rent asunder after violating the mail delivery code. On the other hand, he gets to wear that darling little safari hat. Before his brain matter explodes through it.
Patton Oswalt's Crabwalkin' video for 5-Second Films is so cute/violent, I'm going to go ahead and gloss over the fact that he is clearly not crab-walking, at least in society's mutually-agreed upon definition. As for the ill-fated meeting between his junk and a forcefully kicking leg, 5-Second Films explains, "Thus began a feud between two powerful families of pure hearts and proud walks, a feud as inevitable as the setting of the sun and the icing of the balls." So, basically Romeo and Juliet, except the complete opposite and with more testicular hematoma.
In a video conceived by Chris Kelly, the kindergartner who wrote Fast Five chats with The Onion's Today Now! about his new action-packed film. Though he may not be old enough to not pee his pants when he's asleep, Chris Morgan knows what American audiences want: cars that go boom, Vin Diesel's big muscles and trains with holes in them. I can only assume he wrote the previous four The Fast And The Furious movies as well. Missing teeth, taking off his shoes on-camera and falling asleep mid-sentence seems par for the course for most screenwriters, but somehow Morgan manages to make it work. I look forward [...]
