Dogs with eyebrows, you are the best

Who knew putting eyebrows on a dog was the best thing in the entire world, ever? Well, now we all do, I guess. Thanks, Japan! This trend is my favorite: READ FULL STORY »

Antoine Dodson snags a reality show. What other viral video stars should get a series?

Hide yo’ kids from the TV set, PopWatchers. The reports are true: An Antoine Dodson reality show is currently in the works. According to ”leading international entertainment content and distribution business” Entertainment One — which confirms to EW that it is developing a pilot starring Dodson — “The show tracks Antoine, the oldest of six siblings, using the money he is making from his hit song on iTunes and his best-selling Halloween costume to make a fresh start for the Dodson clan on the West Coast. With a potential new record deal in the works and money coming in from a variety of avenues, the show tracks how a news story sparked a new life for him and his family.”

Naturally, this news got me thinking about other viral video stars who I would watch on the small screen. And, for your ease, TV producers, I’ve even gone through the trouble of developing the plot and title for you. Let’s do this, LeroyREAD FULL STORY »

Tony Danza sings 'Tiny Dancer'; world does not collapse in on itself

In the 14 years since Phoebe Buffay sang her favorite Elton John, Who’s the Boss song on Friends, how many times do you think Tony Danza has endured some wise-acre ordering him to hold someone tighter? A thousand? A million? I ask because in this short FunnyOrDie clip, he sounds like a patient man who’s resigned to explaining this lyrical misconception for the hundredth time today. We’ll have to see wait and see what (the semi-NSFW) Scott & Zander’s Crazy Night is all about, but since this clip has the potential to be the greatest night-cruisin’ sing-along since Wayne’s World, I have high hopes. Take the ride below: READ FULL STORY »

Joy Behar to Snooki and Fred Armisen: 'I'm old, I'm fat, so what?'

On HLN’s The Joy Behar Show, Joy insisted it doesn’t bother her at all when clowns like Jersey Shore‘s Snooki or, better yet, Saturday Night Live‘s Fred Armisen make fun of her. “Not even when you’re alone … quiet … lonely?” cried random panel member Penn Jillette, in a desperate attempt to turn the discussion into a personal therapy session. “Not at all,” said Joy. “I never even thought I was a celebrity!” I think my favorite part is when Penn name-checks freaking Tennyson [update: or maybe Kinison, as in Sam, but I wish it was Tennyson], and Holly Madison is like “What?” READ FULL STORY »

The man who discovered Ted Williams says 'it's probably easier getting through to Obama [now] than Ted'

Doral-ChenowethImage Credit: Peter Kramer/MSNBC/NBC Newswire via AP ImagesThough Ted Williams, the golden-voiced homeless man from Columbus, Ohio, seems like the quintessential rags-to-riches story for our Internet age, it didn’t happen overnight. Doral Chenoweth, the 47-year-old web producer for the Columbus Dispatch who filmed Williams, actually shot those life-changing 97 seconds of film approximately eight weeks ago. He’d first encountered Williams, his cardboard sign, and his baritone pipes a few weeks before that when he and his wife were driving past on their way to the store. “He just let loose with that velvety, old-school voice,” Chenoweth tells EW. “We had a good time, but you know, life goes on. The light turns green. I threw him a dollar and off we went.” READ FULL STORY »

Antoine Dodson's 'Chimney Intruder' rocks 'Lopez Tonight.' Hide yo ears!

Internet memes are giving-trees that shouldn’t be overwatered. Going on Lopez Tonight to premiere the pre-autotuned second incarnation of a spontaneous 15 minutes is, by definition, overwatering. And Antoine Dodson did it. Below, the less-charming Christmas version of “Bed Intruder“: “Chimney Intruder,” in which Santa is likened to a potential rapist. READ FULL STORY »

Sesame Street spoofs Old Spice commercial. 'Moo!'

Sesame Street and Grover have gifted the universe with a spoof of Old Spice’s “I’m on a Horse” campaign — disguised as a lesson about the word “on”! Do stick around for the easy rider’s divine click-click-hair toss at the end. Don’t worry, I’m not going to turn this into an Isaiah Mustafa vs. Grover “Who’s Hotter?” poll. We all know Gladys would win as a write-in, anyway. That is a hot cow. READ FULL STORY »

Miley Cyrus films a video to tell fans 'I'm just like y'all!'

It’s been an awfully quiet summer in the world of Miley Cyrus. There hasn’t been a new dance party anthem — leaving me to rely on my old standards, “See You Again” and “Party in the U.S.A.” — and I can’t bear the thought of enduring a Nicholas Sparks melodrama just to get a Miley fix. Without her Twitter, rumors this summer ran rampant, so finally the raspy voiced teen star filmed a video to set things straight and update her fans on her busy teen life.

Miley introduced fans to her new rescue dog (point 1 for Miley), joked about gaining weight on vacation (point 2 for Miley), and really did her part to come across as a normal teen girl wanting to live a normal teen life, even if that life includes an immaculately decorated, NYC studio apartment-sized shoe closet. It was great to see her acknowledge that she needed to go take a math quiz — even if she was procrastinating said math quiz to make a video. (Miley Cyrus stalling on math homework — I always knew we could be friends.) Of course, Miley proved that after her math, she could stand to brush up on her geography, with her “California is not the most beautiful city in the world” comment.

Rumors Miley debunked in the nearly 10-minute video: READ FULL STORY »

'The Oregon Trail' spoof movie trailer: Would anyone else watch a whole movie?

Load up your wagons and pack your rations, frontier people, because you’re about to go on a journey down memory lane! Remember The Oregon Trail? You know, that old computer game that, um, everyone played? Of course you do! Well, YouTube comedy troop Half Day Today has posted a brilliant spoof movie trailer for The Oregon Trail. (Sadly, this won’t be a real movie.) I won’t give away all the little winks to the original game, but I did laugh out loud that this is “a film by MECC studios.” Love it! With material this funny, I’d be willing to ford ten rivers to watch a full-length Oregon Trail movie — heck, I’d caulk my wheels and float my wagon across them to see it. Watch the clip below to see the hilarity for yourself: READ FULL STORY »

I am Jane's pinching corset: We talk to the creator of 'Jane Austen's Fight Club'

It is a truth universally acknowledged that you do not talk about fight club. But Emily Janice Card, the writer-director of  “Jane Austen’s Fight Club,” a viral video (embedded below) that bloodies some petticoats by pitting prim and proper 19th-century ladies against one another, has found success in breaking that cardinal rule.

“Last year I was just joking around with a friend of mine and we were listing those iconic rules of Fight Club,” remembers Card, who also stars in the video as Mansfield Park’s Fanny. “And I started doing it in the voice of a proper, well-bred young English lady. I didn’t know exactly what to do with it, but it stayed in the back of my mind, and then over the course of the year, I came up with other things that might be funny in Jane Austen’s world, like ‘Why don’t you hit me as hard as you can at the Regency Ball?’” READ FULL STORY »
