MARCH SADNESS: The 64 Saddest Movies Ever Battle It Out

Posted: 16 Mar 2011 08:31 AM PDT

It’s the third week of March, and we all know what that means: It’s time for a forced online pop-culture version of March Madness! This year, we’ve collected a bracket of the 64 saddest movies of all-time for March Sadness to determine once and for all which is the saddest film ever made, based on your subjective votes and subsequent amusingly argumentative comments.

You can begin voting for Round 1 after the jump – Here’s the Full March Sadness Bracket (click to enlarge):

Remember, the only question is “Which Movie Is Sadder?”, not “Which Movie Is Better” – if we cared about that, we’d be doing March Betterthan…dness. How you determine which movie is “Sadder” is up to you — tear-jerking moments, overall crushing feeling, personal story about the first time you saw it – everything’s open to sadterpretation.

We’ve attempted to provide as comprehensive a list as possible, though obviously some notable films had to be left out (feel free to complain about omissions in the comments – the final cuts were, to say the least, very sad). The cross-section of films is slightly tilted towards more recent movies, mostly for familiarity’s sake; we could’ve included some 20 Bergman films, but they all would’ve been voted off against more popularly-known movies. The movies have been very loosely seeded based on the general consensus and notoriety of their sadness; we all have our personal quirks (I cried during Monster Squad when Frankenstein got sucked into the tornado), but we hope this 64 represents a more universally-acknowledged-as-sad grouping, and we’ll leave the specifics (sadpecifics?) up to you. So vote, comment, and be…the opposite of merry!

The Voting For ROUND ONE Begins After the Jump:


BRACKET A:





BRACKET B:





Remember to check back tomorrow for Brackets C and D – in the meantime, feel free to debate very sadly in the comments!

An Embarassing Situation At The Donald Trump Roast

Posted: 16 Mar 2011 08:23 AM PDT

This YouTube clip has all the hallmarks of a video that will be removed from the internet very soon, so watch it while you can. It’s a video of The Situation from MTV’s Jersey Shore performing on the Comedy Central celebrity roast of Donald Trump. His jokes go over very poorly.

Hahaha, who wrote those jokes? The Situation? Ohhhhh, wait, that makes sense.

Thanks, The Daily What.

Nothing Will Ever Top Children Of The Gay 90s

Posted: 15 Mar 2011 04:59 PM PDT

Fans of both Mariah Carey and artistic expression will adore this authentic home video unearthed from the early 1990s. It’s a young boy wearing the official t-shirt of 1991 and doing an entire choreographed dance to Mariah’s “Emotions.” This kid is dedicated. He spits his gum out to lip-synch. But I guess chewing gum while writhing around in your parents’ kitchen might qualify as a choking hazard.

This video is important to watch for two reasons: 1. It will make you realize that had Youtube existed back when you were a pre-teen, you too would have been a Twitter trending laughing stock; and 2. Actually, this kid might be too good. Like, NAMBLA-approved good. Watch at the risk of your own second-hand embarrassment. We have all been this little boy at some point in our lives. (I’m doing this exact routine right now.)

A Slightly Less Vampirey But Much More Gay Twilight

Posted: 15 Mar 2011 05:18 PM PDT

The following trailer is for a movie called Vampire Boys.

Here is what the director’s letter to potential investors probably read like.

“Greetings, potential investors. I would like you offer you an exciting opportunity to get involved in the movie making business. What we are setting out to do here is revolution the way film is experienced. With our team of actors and presumably non-union crew members, we hope to take all the elements of the Twilight series and reassemble them into a more static, selfconsciously acted hunk of  saccharine Gothic gayness. With your help, we can make this a reality.”

You’re going to have so much fun realizing this isn’t fake.

Thank you again, Videogum.

Basset Hounds Running On A Beach Are All We Need To Survive

Posted: 15 Mar 2011 01:53 PM PDT

You’re probably sitting at your desk right now, staring into the digital abyss that sits on your monitor, wondering what awaits you in your future. The worst song in the world is a veritable sensation, an entire country full of lovely people has been shaken drowned and radiated, and astronauts are snorting cocaine to get high. Astronauts.

But you know the old saying: When life hands you lemons, have a good cry and then marvel at a couple of basset hounds running down a beach:


Click for larger wallpaper-ready image.

Not close enough for you? We thought so:

These delightful images, brought to our attention by fellow pet enthusiast and podcaster Julie Klausner, can do no wrong. Basset hounds. Big ol’ ones. Running down a beach. Captured in our little matrix for the rest of time.

The faces do the impossible and get way basset houndier ahead.

The photos are courtesy of a Flickr user named “BenfromSalem,” who we do declare is the luckiest man in all of Salem. While he seems like a lovely guy, he apparently is not a comedian…

Tough crowd.

But really, if I saw this guy running towards me at, what, like, four miles per hour? I would be scared sh*tless.



No, no, it’s not that you can’t run because you’re too old and fat! It’s because your legs are short!!

*laughing* Really! That’s it. It’s the way God made you.

Truce?

I see I’m in for a long night.

Now do the right thing, and e-mail this link to every single member of your family and all of your friends. Surely, Bassies can cheer anyone up.

Best Holes Of All Time Video Is Literally About The Best Holes

Posted: 15 Mar 2011 01:15 PM PDT

You can’t help it. You see that there’s a video called Best Holes Of All Time and you assume it’s going to be something crass. It’s not, though. The Best Holes of All Time is literally and unapologetically about actual holes — specifically the best holes. I know it’s hard right now to imagine what could possibly constitute a “good” hole, but I promise that at least one time while watching this video you will say to yourself, “Wow, that is a really good hole.”

Well…. Pretty good holes, right! If you would like to share which was your favorite hole, please feel free to do so. If you think that’s a little too personal, that’s cool too.

Thanks, Reddit.

Snooki Mistakes Female Wrestler For Vinnie; Tries To F*ck Her Brains Out

Posted: 15 Mar 2011 12:08 PM PDT

Jersey Shore’s Snooki, birth name Mistake Polizzi, pulled a Flintstones Meets The Jetsons last night with an appearance on WWE Raw, which from the title I’m guessing is some sort of lady wrestling spectacle where things get “raw.”

Snooki goes CRAZAYYY Y’ALL. All four and a half inches of her were placed in an oversized boot and placed up against a lady roughly One Of The Kids In Honey I Blew Up The Kids sized. At first, I was sure that wasn’t even Snooki, but just a little person muscle man in boots and a wig told to make sure his face is never seen. But it seems it really is Snooki, getting out all her pent up sexual aggression in the ring while riding a human lady bull for the cameras.

It’s a good thing it wasn’t J-Woww in the ring, cause you know she would have ripped that wrestler’s heart out of her rib cage Mortal Kombat style and taken a bite out of it while scalping her prey.

The British Version Of Big Cardboard Checks Is So Lame

Posted: 15 Mar 2011 02:57 PM PDT

This is a picture of Hugh Grant at South Bank in London with a woman named Dr. Ann McPherson who founded a charity called Health Talk Online. They were posing together at a celebration for the 10th anniversary of the foundation. But it totally looks like she just won some kind of low budget British sweepstakes where they give her a huge cardboard coin redeemable for a single pound.

Gilbert Gottfried Fired From Job As Aflac Duck Voice

Posted: 15 Mar 2011 10:01 AM PDT

You might have known both, one, or niether of the following two things. 1.) Gilbert Gottfried is the voice of the Aflac Duck. 2.) Gilbert Gottfried really likes to Tweet earthquake and tsunami jokes about Japan immediately after Japan suffers from earthquakes and tsunamis. It turns out the second thing made it so the first thing isn’t true anymore.

From The Hollywood Reporter:

Aflac Inc. has severed ties with comic Gilbert Gottfried, the longtime voice of the insurer's duck mascot, after he made a series of crude jokes about the Japan earthquake and tsunami via Twitter.

"Gilbert's recent comments about the crisis in Japan were lacking in humor and certainly do not represent the thoughts and feelings of anyone at Aflac," Aflac Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Michael Zuna said in a statement Monday, reports TMZ. "There is no place for anything but compassion and concern during these difficult times."


In case you were wondering what the Tweets were, they were all along these lines:


I was going to explain a whole thing here about why Gilbert Gottfriend shouldn’t have been fired, but then this following Gchat conversation happened when another blogger messaged me. This is a verbatim transcript. (Punctuation has been corrected.)


Other Blogger:  So, I wrote a thing about Gottfried getting fired from Aflac for making sh*tty Japan jokes, and my take is yes, he should have shown better judgment and not made those jokes, but Aflac can’t hire an infamously raunchy roast comic and then fire him for being an infamously raunchy roast comic. Does that make sense?

Me:  Uhhhhh, yes. And I was literally writing that same post.
