13 of the Best TV Proms Ever

Posted: 15 Apr 2011 11:10 AM PDT

It’s that time of year again: Prom season! A spectacular night wherein teenagers get to pretend to be way more grown up than they actually are, prom is the holy grail of high school. The dresses! The tuxes! The limos! Magic!

Naturally, most people’s real-life proms end up being less than perfect, but that doesn’t stop the phenomenon of the annual television prom episode. From matching bow dresses to anti-proms, here’s a look at some of our favorite television proms:

  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer,
  • Beverly Hills, 90210,
  • How I Met Your Mother,
  • Drop Dead Diva
  • Veronica Mars,
  • The Venture Brothers,
  • Full House,
  • Dawson's Creek,
  • Grey's Anatomy,
  • Smallville,
  • Degrassi: The Next Generation,

Video: Jimmy Fallon's 'Real Housewives of Late Night' Season 2 Episode 2

Posted: 15 Apr 2011 10:35 AM PDT

Jimmy Fallon‘s Real Housewives of Late Night has returned with a second episode for season 2. As we saw last time, Denise was asked to be in a Glamour magazine photo shoot, but didn’t want to tell Yvonne, because she didn’t want her drama on her big day. Things are going well (except for Renee accidentally arriving at a Glamour Pet Shop and not realizing her mistake), until Yvonne crashes the photo shoot. Things come to a blow when Denise walks off the shoot, screaming, “Do,” and pointing at herself, and screaming, “Don’t,” and pointing at Yvonne. Watch the episode below to see for yourself. And here are some quotes to look forward to:

  • “I’m coming through the lens attacking you. I’m like a rapist in a Lifetime movie.”
  • “This is like ordering a steak at Chili’s: it cannot be good.”
  • “This woman has got some nerve. Who does she think she is, Giselle Bunch-d-kin? I don’t think so.”

'Real Housewives of New York City' Season 4 Episode 2 Recap

Posted: 15 Apr 2011 09:54 AM PDT

Episode two of Real Housewives of New York City season four rolled around last night, and it was, like the premiere, unbelievable. Last week, we thought the marriage equality event was Alex’s thing, but this week, we find out Sonja wants to make it about her. Sonja is a broken record, talking about how she’s tickled pink that she’s the “Grand Marshal” of the event, and Alex is a broken record, going on and on about gay marriage. We get it! You would think the way Alex kept talking about it that the event was about marriage equality! Oh, wait… it was. Check out my favorite scenes from this week’s episode.

  • The ladies get ready for the march at Sonja's
  • Silex get pissed when Simon's denied the privilege to speak
  • Alex Harasses Jill for Showing Up
  • Alex gives Sonja crazy eyes
  • Sonja delivers her speech
  • The Ladies Finally March
  • Howie dishes to Cindy
  • Alex confronts Jill
  • Brian shows Sonja the work in progress
  • Ramona tries to control the Gucci event
  • Sonja confronts Alex
  • Sonja kicks Alex out
  • Alex calls her hubby and goes back to Brooklyn

Superchunk's New Music Video Is Brilliant, Has Cats

Posted: 15 Apr 2011 09:28 AM PDT

We don’t want to ruin the concept for you, but suffice it to say that (our favorite band) Superchunk’s video for “Crossed Wires” is a work of genius. It tells a hilarious, compact story that works on all levels — plus it involves cats. Music industry: more of these things, please.

Crushable Quotable: Remus Lupin Is Gay

Posted: 15 Apr 2011 09:12 AM PDT

Or at least, David Thewlis, who first played the character in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkabanthought he was supposed to be. At an Apple Store event in New York City, Thewlis and the rest of the Harry Potter cast dished on the their favorite scenes and revealed other tidbits from the ten-plus years they’ve worked on the film series. Thewlis revealed that while shooting Azkaban, the director gave him a specific character note:

Alfonso CuarĂ³n, in the rehearsals, without J.K. Rowling's knowledge, told me that [my character] was, in fact, gay. So I'd been playing a part like a gay man for quite a long time. Until it turned out that I indeed got married to Tonks. I changed my whole performance after that. Just saw it as a phase he went through.”

That sound you hear? That’s thousands of Potter fans screaming. First it’s in happiness, because they’ve always believed that Lupin and Sirius Black were the series’ true love story; I’m gonna bet that there’s more Lupin/Sirius slash fan fiction out there than any other pairing. But the second half of Thewlis’ quote is troublesome; to call Lupin’s supposed queerness “a phase” could be construed as pretty offensive.

Anyway, it’s not so off-base to imagine Lupin being queer; after the seventh book came out, Rowling revealed that Dumbledore was gay, and even said, “Imagine all the fan fiction now.”

Worst Trend Ever: 'Eco-Medians'

Posted: 14 Apr 2011 02:59 PM PDT

Marketers figured out awhile ago that you just have to put the word “eco” in front of things to get people to buy them. But eco-medians? Are they green-colored things in the middle of the highway to keep you from driving in the wrong lane?

According to the Mother Nature Network, “eco-medians” are comedians who make a living telling jokes about things like recycling. Here are some of their “best” “jokes”:

  • Josh Rachlis: “I’m not bald. I shave my head like this for the environment. It reduces the amount of shampoo that winds up in our lakes. And it makes me more aerodynamic. So that when I’m walking around, I’m burning fewer calories. Which means I don’t have to eat as much. Which saves the Earth’s precious resources.”
  • Johannah Knott: “SERIOUSLY? … FREE RANGE CHICKENS … They want that much for HOMELESS POULTRY?”
  • Forrest Shaw: “Hummers?! Do you really need an armored vehicle to get groceries or pick your kids up from soccer practice? That is the same vehicle the military uses for combat in Afghanistan and you’re getting Egg Beaters in it.”
  • Jeff Wozer: “I love spending my time in nature doing typical outdoor things like skiing, camping and dressing as God and bothering confused hikers trying to find themselves.”

Wake me when The Original Greens of Comedy comes out on video. Til then, I have some farm-raised endangered animals to go eat.
