Gallery: The Best of Celebrity Humblebrags

Posted: 24 Apr 2011 11:10 AM PDT

What, exactly, is a Humblebrag, you ask? It’s pretty much exactly what it sounds like: A humble brag, or a brag about an accomplishment veiled in false humility. As noted by the Wall Street Journal, it’s also a “particularly Hollywood offense,” which means that humble brags from celebrities are both ridiculous and hilarious. That’s why stand-up comedian and Parks and Recreation writer Harris Wittles has created a Twitter feed devoted to this most bizarre of trends: twitter.com/humblebrag. In it, Wittles collects and retweets every humble brag he finds, and believe you me, the results are amazing. Here, we’ve assembled for your comedy pleasure the best of Wittles’ celebrity humble brags. Get bragging!

The Dos and Don'ts of Drama, with 'Degrassi': Crazy Faces All Around

Posted: 24 Apr 2011 09:52 AM PDT

The season finale of Degrassi: In Too Deep certainly got itself mired pretty deep in the drama. “Drop the World, Part 2″ had Eli going pretty crazy when Clare tries to tell him that she needs space; Holly J acting incredibly awkward around Fiona now that she knows that Fi is in love with her; and K.C. handcuffed to Drew’s girlfriend Bianca on the night that Jenna is gonna give birth. Also, Anya’s judgmental face is fantastic. Read on for season finale drama!

  • DO Bring a Gun to School
  • DO Blab Your Friend's Secret to Another Friend
  • DON'T Consider Your Friendship
  • DON'T Go the Easy Route
  • DO Handcuff Yourself to Your Friend's Girl at Your
  • DO Play Awkward Matchmaker
  • DO Crash Your Hearse

8 Things NOT To Try If You Get Trapped In A Time Loop (A Guide)

Posted: 24 Apr 2011 09:25 AM PDT

Time travel is a dangerous business. Perhaps even MORE dangerous, though, are time loops. Rather than allowing you to go anywhere, anytime, a time loop instead traps you in one sequence of events for a specific amount of time (think Groundhog Day). A few weeks ago, Cracked had some excellent advice on hand for 8 Things To Try If You Get Trapped In A Time Loop. However, with the exception of number 3, they neglected to address the important issue of what NOT to try if you get trapped in a time loop. Subsequently, I’ve taken up their advisory mantle; should you find yourself in a time loop, do NOT, under any circumstances, try to:

1) Escape.
Because you won’t if you’re actively trying to. They only way you’re getting out of a time loop is if you figure out what it is you’re meant to be doing in it. Then it will resolve itself. You can’t strongarm it on your own, so take it in stride and see where it goes.

2) Find Yourself.
Finding yourself in any sort of time situation is always problematic. If you’re going back in your own timeline, you don’t want to run into yourself because you’ll cause a paradox. However, if you’re stuck in a LOOP, odds are you won’t be able to find yourself anyway, so don’t waste your time trying.

If you DO find yourself by accident, however, DON’T try to:

3) Insist You’re the Real You.
Odds are you found a clone. You’re both the real you. Instead of arguing about it, put both your heads together and see where that takes you.

Moving right along, DON’T try to:

4) Explain Your Problem to People.
They won’t believe you. They never do. Remember, their memory is only as long as the time loop and you can’t really change that. Telling them to trust you, though– that’s something you CAN do. Now you just have to hope they do it.

5) Ignore Strange Physical Problems You Suddenly Start Having.
If you start bleeding from weird places or all your teeth start falling out, seek medical attention immediately. And stop whatever you’re doing that’s causing it.

6) Ignore What’s Happening, Period.
Shutting your eyes, sticking your fingers in your ears, and going “LALALALALALA” really loudly won’t solve anything.

7) Barter with the Military.
Especially if they put you in the time loop. If they’re the ones that put you there, they want you there for a very specific reason, and they will tell you anything in order to make sure you do what they want you to. They will lie. Do not trust them.

And finally, never, EVER, try to:

8) Give Up.
You’ll get through it. I promise.

Good luck.

Ever wondered what would happen if Jafar, Ursula, and Maleficent duked it out? Well, now we know, and it ain’t pretty. In fact, it’s downright apocalyptic. I hope Genie, Ariel, Aurora, and Carpet manage to find a new place to settle down. A place not overrun by terrifying villains. And also not on fire.

Video Gallery: 9 Pop-Culture Reenactments Starring Marshmallow Peeps

Posted: 22 Apr 2011 01:56 PM PDT

Easter: Yet another religious holiday that has been taken over by the candy companies. More specifically, it’s been appropriated by Just Born, makers of the marshmallow monstrosity known as the Peep. Peeps, generally, are disgusting. They do, however, look really cute, which means that they lend themselves to all sorts of endeavors not necessarily related to eating. We’ve already brought you the artistic genius of the Washington Post’s Peep Show V; now, we bring you the oh-so-creative (and somewhat disturbing) things people do to their Peeps when video cameras become involved. Specifically, people seem to enjoy recreating scenes from pop-culture. Here are the best of the best pop-culture reenactments starring those crazy marshmallow creatures:

1) Peep Wars
Naturally, Star Wars is one of the most popular choices of material to give the Peeps treatment. Luke is a yellow bunny Peep, Han is a purple bunny Peep, and the Millenium Falcon is a giant Peppermint Patty. My teeth kind of hurt thinking about all that sugar.

2) Peep Floyd: The Wall
All in all you’re just another Peep in the wall.

3) Project Peepway
Make it work, people. Make it work.
