Fun Thing to Buy of the Day: 'Best In Show' on Blu-Ray

by | February 19th, 2013

In honor of the mockumentary's 12-year anniversary (?) Best in Show is finally available on Blu-Ray starting today! See all the breeds — and all the dog owners — in stunning high definition, or, if that's not really important to you, just pick up the disc so that you can enjoy Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Jane Lynch, Jennifer Coolidge, Parker Posey, and more in one of Christopher Guest's best projects. Re-watch it for the millionth time or if you've never seen it then actually just watch it because this is important for you to do. God loves a terrier.

Cats Are Funnier than Dogs

by | April 10th, 2012

Unpopular Opinions is a new weekly column in which a writer takes a stand against popular opinion, whether it's asserting the true merit of a supposedly guilty pleasure or dissenting against the universally lauded.

Unpopular Opinions as a series has focused on some serious stuff, but no issue is more dire than this. Cats and dogs have literally been in battle for centuries and that battle has rubbed off on their respective owners — there is no argument like one between a dog-person and a cat-person (except a fictional one in which the people are actually part dog/cat, part person). These epic debates oft revolve around cuteness, which [...]

New Project X Photos, Captioned By the Protagonist's Dog

by | February 15th, 2012

New photos from Project X, Todd Phillip's epic party movie, have been released. We present them below, along with captions found hastily scrawled on the negatives in a canine hand.

11:18pm: I'm currently hiding out underneath the porch, waiting for this nightmare to be over. I have found a camera and taught myself to write so that I can document the events of this near-apocalyptic evening for posterity.

Meet the Moderately Funny YouTube Clip That's Being Turned Into a Feature Film

by | February 14th, 2012

Pretty funny video, right? Yeah, it's being made into a movie. Paramount is "in talks" with Seinfeld writers Alec Berg and David Mandel to develop the feature film. This news basically amounts to a re-enactment of the video, with Paramount as the human voice, and all of us collectively playing the dog. "You know movies, right?" "Uh-huh." "We're gonna make a movie, in real theaters, with writers from Seinfeld…based on a one-minute YouTube video." "Aaaaaaauugh!"

Kristen Wiig And Elijah Wood To Star In Dark Comedy Revenge For Jolly!

by | September 8th, 2011

Kristen Wiig and Elijah Wood will star in Revenge For Jolly!, leading a fantastic-sounding cast that also includes Adam Brody, Kevin Corrigan, Garret Dillahunt, Bobby Moynihan, and Gillian Jacobs. The black comedy follows a man seeking vengeance for the death of his dog "who was killed under confusing and suspicious circumstances." Which is great, because no one can look confused like Garret Dillahunt (as Burt on Raising Hope) and Elijah Wood (as…every role he's ever played). Sounds promising.

The Golden Collar Awards Proved Dangerous for Triumph

by | February 24th, 2012

After being brutally snubbed by the Golden Collar Awards, it was only natural that Triumph the Insult Comic Dog head down there with a camera crew to document the event. Instead of learning about the Golden Collars, though, we end up getting to know a very different side of Triumph. The underside. Stick around till the end to watch the X-rated Conan-Modern Family crossover you never knew you needed. Stella and Triumph, sitting in a tree, H-U-M-P-I-N-G.

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog Wants What He Is Due

by | February 9th, 2012

Conan O'Donnell's canine friend Triumph the Insult Comic Dog was passed over for a Golden Collar Award nomination by Dog News Daily, and no greater injustice has ever been perpetrated. (At least they got one thing, right, though: Stella from Modern Family was nominated.) In this video appeal, he takes down his competitors one by one. Luckily, those competitors do not include Puppy Conan, because oh my god I don't know if Triumph could compete there:
