Screen Junkies goes after low-hanging fruit in the latest installment of the Honest Trailer series. Ant-Man is funny before you even know anything about it, because it seems Marvel is just pulling names out of a hat for superheroes.
However, the video was done by someone who watched the movies, which I didn’t. So it turned out even funnier than I expected! -via Geeks Are Sexy
Drunk people tend to start acting strangely as soon as the hooch takes a hold of them, and their behavior only gets worse as they get drunker and therefore feel less inclined to care how they're acting.
This is especially true if the drunks are drinking as a couple, because their special relationship fuels the flames of passion in their hearts, causing them to make a scene as a drunken duet.
This season you're sure to encounter some of the drunken couples on this comical list by Andrew Bridgman and Paul Westover at various holiday functions, so bear this terrifying truth in mind- they all started out as Fun Drunks!
Only ten days remain before the opening of the movie we never thought we’d see, and then lost our minds over when we found out otherwise. The December issue of Rolling Stone magazine has an extensive look at everything they know about Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Everyone involved signed what Hamill calls "this massive, oppressive sword-of-Damocles NDA hanging over my head," so they can't say much about the plot without being thrown into the Burbank equivalent of the Sarlacc pit. But there was still plenty to talk about – memories to be probed, mysteries to be solved: Could Abrams recapture the magic that Lucas himself summoned only intermittently in his three digitized prequels, in between council-meeting scenes and wretched dialogue ("I don't like sand")? Did Boyega and Ridley understand they were about to send their lives, if not necessarily their careers, into hyperspace? How did the original trio feel about resuming roles that haunted them for decades? Could a Rolling Stone writer keep it together while hanging out with human editions of his childhood toys?
To find out, there were pilgrimages to be made to the homes of Hamill and Fisher, wisdom to be sought from Ford. Abrams' hidden base needed to be invaded. The new stars had to be interrogated. So passage was booked to that wretched hive of scum and villainy, Los Angeles, where the search would begin for signs of humanity, and of the Force itself, within a vast and corporate saga…
They did find out about JJ Abrams hashing out the storyline under the pressure of time. About Harrison Ford (“the best-looking 73-year-old man on this or any planet“) and his injuries, both on and off the set. About John Boyega and Adam Driver trying to put away their fandom long enough to do their jobs. About how eccentric Mark Hamill is and how funny Carrie Fisher is. It’s a long and satisfying read, and will no doubt get you pumped for The Force Awakens. -via Metafilter
The term celebrity is used rather loosely these days, and basically anyone who finds themselves with enough Twitter followers and more than five minutes of screen time calls themselves a celebrity.
But those "famous" faces come marching into our pop culture lovin' lives whether we like it or not, often in the form of a ridiculous cameo appearance that makes the audience cringe.
Of course it's not always the "celebrity" that makes us cringe, sometimes it's the fact that the celeb agreed to do the cameo in the first place that makes us shrug and shudder at the same time.
Remember when Milton Berle appeared in RATT's video for "Round And Round"?
Yeah, I wish I could erase that memory from my mind as well, but it appears we're stuck with that startling image of Uncle Milty looking more like Aunt Miltina for life.
And who could forget Richard Pryor's appearance on The Partridge Family?
I'm pretty sure he spent the rest of his life wishing he could forget he'd ever made a cameo appearance on that show as well.
But in the end the award for most WTF worthy cameo appearance goes to Larry David for his inexplicable appearance on Hannah Montana.
*cue Curb Your Enthusiasm theme song while Larry shrugs*

Blah, blah, blah. Sure, it's only 1 minute and 3 seconds, but it can feel like an eternity. Amirite guys?
New York magazine noticed that aside from Leia, the original Star Wars trilogy contains very little dialogue by women. Only 63 seconds out of a total 23,160 seconds has a woman other than Leia speaking.
Is that too little, too much, or just the right amount? I don't know, but Han is losing patience with Mon Motha's PowerPoint presentation, as you can see by his expression at the 0:46 mark in the video.

Not everyone who decorates for, and celebrates, Christmas is a Christian, and we put up holiday decorations we see as fun and funny assuming we're free to decorate our homes as we see fit.
Heaven forbid (literally) we present anything but the standard version of Christmas and the Nativity scene on our property, or we may end up paying with more than our souls...
That's the reality Jasen Dixon of Sycamore Township, Ohio is facing for the second year in a row because the city is threatening to fine him $500 a day for his Zombie Nativity tableau, which violates zoning laws according to city officials.
What we need now are some officially licensed The Walking Dead Zombie Nativity sets, that oughta squash the beef!

Everywhere you go on the internet, there’s Star Wars. And there’s Donald Trump. Auralnauts couldn’t resist the opportunity to combine them.
In this video, sound bites from The Donald are married to video clips of Darth Vader. But the best sound bite isn’t from his campaign stump speeches. It’s the catchphrase from the TV show The Apprentice. Watch for it. I had to laugh out loud! But then, the scene where he reveals himself to Luke is pretty funny,too. -via Tastefully Offensive
In the beginning, he was awed by the meaning and the power of the Force. He used it carefully and reverently.
Then, about 5 years after completing his training, Max Goodrich, without realizing it, began taking his powers for granted. Why not use them to, say, bring the TV remote control to him without getting up off the sofa?
Did he forget his girlfriend's birthday? After a hand wave, so did she--at least long enough for him to run to the store and pick up flowers and chocolate.
What Goodrich didn't realize was that once you turn to the lazy side of the Force, forever will it dominate your destiny.

Imagining getting access to the soothing cuddliness of a tribble without being eaten out of starbase and home. Then you'd have Tribble the cat. He's an older cat recently adopted from an animal shelter. Tribble's purr sounds like the trilling sound that a tribble from Star Trek makes.

Question for readers: would tribbles be any different in the mirror universe?

First we had the various TV projects starring Dean Martin, then came The Gong Show, Baywatch and the even more incoherent Baywatch Nights, and a web series turned TV show where drunks talk about history.
Now the televised drunkenness has reached new creative heights with The Drunk Series, a web video series from Ganglebot Films written by and starring drunks.
It's the pinnacle of inappropriate programming, but The Drunk Series isn't encouraging alcohol abuse, they're merely taking advantage of every moment while the actors and writers are trashed.
Drunk people are admittedly pretty funny to watch on camera, but something tells me this show wouldn't have the same energy if it was written by and starred stoners, although someone's sure to try that formula soon.

Jello Biafra is best known as a spoken word performer and frontman for the band Dead Kennedys, but he's also a political activist, prankster, and owns his own record label Alternative Tentacles.
Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention that Biafra is also an actor, who has made many memorable cameo appearances in movies and TV shows such as Tapeheads, Portlandia and The Widower.
In Tapeheads Jello plays an FBI agent who says "Remember what we did to Jello Biafra?", a reference to the 1985 obscenity trial Biafra was involved in over the H.R. Giger poster included in the DK album Frankenchrist.
It's good that Jello can laugh about that bit of nonsense now, and it certainly didn't hurt his career!

Tyrants and despots and kids' TV shows- one of these things is not like the others, can you guess which thing just doesn't belong?
Well, someone should have told the creators of Hey Arnold!, Animaniacs, and Histeria!, because they had no problem including Hitler, Hussein and Stalin in their kiddie cartoon shows.
Animaniacs was known for taking risks and trying to appeal to both parents and kids with adult humor, but what did parents think when they saw Saddam Hussein making not one but (at least) two appearances on the show?
And then the crew followed up Hussein's appearance with a particularly grim Joseph Stalin themed sketch on their next show Histeria!, here it is complete with subtitles to illustrate the starkness.
Well, you can't accuse Histeria!'s creators of pulling punches when it comes to teaching history, and it's definitely entertaining to watch as an adult, but what did the kiddies think of slapstick Stalin?

It's easy to assume Chris Pratt and Dave Bautista had the Guardians Of The Galaxy gig in the bag from day one, but this screen test clip proves they had to audition just like everyone else.
However, this screen test has something going for it the other auditions were clearly lacking- the instant chemistry shared between Pratt and Bautista.
I couldn't help but think of Chris playing Andy Dwyer on Parks And Rec while watching this audition, because his warmth and charm had Bautista cracking up by the end of the audition.

Everybody approaches battle a romantic relationship in their own way, and it's hard to see what kind of monster person you're dealing with until you've spent enough time in the arena.
As people are fond saying there are lots of fish in the sea, but if you think of those fish as Pokemon you'll discover you really don't want to catch 'em all.
Some will try to trap you, others will evolve into something scary just when you think the relationship is going well, and a rare few will make you fight to stay awake from the very first date!
If you're wondering what kind of Pokemon you've been dating consult this illustrated guide to The 8 Pokemon You'll Date In Your Lifetime by Willie Muse and see if you've been catching top tier talent or devolved duds.
