I started this last year with a review of the Super Bowl 42 commercials, and thought I should again break out a rundown of my favourite and least favourite ads from this years Super Bowl (see them all here. thanks to the wonders of YouTube). The Best Denny’s Thugs Love the juxtaposition of the ominous [...]

The Great Rate 2
January 20th, 2009 · No Comments
A while back I posted the first ‘Great Rate’, some opinions on what is underrated, rated, and overated in the world of film, tv, music and trends by my buddies and I. I thought it was a good time to look back on 2008 with a new ‘Great Rate’ for 2009. Our correspondents are Andy [...]
Mayne Street
November 18th, 2008 · 1 Comment
If you’re a fan of the goofy ESPN commercials and Sportscenter, you’ll love Kenny Mayne’s new “Curb-esque” online webisode series, Mayne Street. Scott Van Pelt is the perfect foil for Kenny. It’s amazing the comic timing that most of these SC guys have. I laughed out loud at a few points during ‘Fixes’. Episode 2 [...]
WTF Were They Thinking?!? – Quincy, M.E.
November 1st, 2008 · No Comments
When the producers of this show started brainstorming theme ideas, who was the one who pitched the upbeat jazz theme for the show that follows a coroner? And how drunk were they? I also love how the credits close with a Quincy looking like he’s performing an autopsy, only he’s actually hanging out with a [...]

As expected, Wahlberg responded on last weekend’s Saturday Night Live (which included a visit from VP candidate Sarah Palin). Classic. Wahlberg is the man.
Random Thoughts on the 2008 Arias
October 19th, 2008 · 1 Comment
Last years ARIAS show was excellent. Great performances, solid hosting, deserved winners. This year … not so much. Here’s a bunch of my random stream-of-blogsciouness thoughts on this years ARIAS show: Gabriella Cilmi. I’ve got a bit to say about her at the end of this post, but even after she won her first two [...]
Wahlberg vs Samberg
October 19th, 2008 · No Comments
I’m sure this is building up to a staged showdown between the two on SNL, but you’ve got to admit both the first punch by Andy Samberg and the Mark Wahlberg response are funny. Samberg on SNL: Wahlberg on Jimmy Kimmel Live: Say hi to your mother for me!
WTF Were They Thinking ?!? – Spaghetti Cat!
October 17th, 2008 · No Comments
Here’s a clip from The Soup that inexplicably features a photo of a spaghetti eating cat in the middle of some hard-hitting hot talk journalism. I get the feeling someone in the crew might have been trying out a new Rickroll.
WTF ARE They Thinking?!? – ‘Telstra’s Rabbits Film’
October 16th, 2008 · No Comments
Did you see today’s news that Telstra are looking for some government film finance for the feature film they are producing based on the ‘Emperor Nasi Goreng / Rabbits’ series of TV commercials? I don’t really care about the conflict of Telstra applying for government funding, I’m more concerned with the idiots who think the [...]
Indy Deserved More Than That

Finally, someone decides to take a stand against Spielberg and Lucas for what they did to Indiana Jones in the last Indy film: Got to love the South Park guys.
