Carl Comes to Life

carls

These are some of the hopefuls to be cast as the role of Carl Brutananadilewski, the next door neighbor and comic foil to the Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Though it doesn’t show on their faces, these boys are lining up to score the role of a lifetime. Is there a live human being with enough verve, enough anima, enough emanations to truly inhabit this character? Only in the premiere live action episode/season six finale of ATHF will this be revealed.

In the words of Carl, himself, “If you need anything, you know who to look to – someone else.”

Hockey Surrenders

It was barely a real sport to begin with…

As awesomely outlandish as this seems, Vince McMahon actually gave this a whirl in 2001. It was called the XFL, and it was righteous.

This mashup is pretty poppin’

Mel Gibson to Marry Octo-Mom

Mel Gibson and Pregnant Girlfriend

Okay, so its not true…but doesn’t she totally look like her?  I guess after you’ve been married for 28 years and had seven kids, its time to divorce and have a love-child with a Russian musician.

So, I’ve checked her out and this Oksana is onto something.  She had a son with Timothy Dalton three years after he got out of a 14 year relationship with Vanessa Redgrave.  She’s brilliant!  Find old guys who just get out of long-term relationships, have their baby and then sit pretty in your child-support funded castle in the sky.

Seth Green is strangely tolerable in this piece.

Futuristic Raquetball

This narrator reminds me of Dennis Quaid’s computer in Innerspace.

A Night at the Museum (On Drugs)

To get a sense of what the enhanced version of this otherwise craptastic Ben Stiller movie might sound like, look no further than this history lecture by former University of Florida Professor, John Hall. Unfortunately, he’s a former professor now because the University got wind of this command performance and immediately dismissed him from the faculty.

That doesn’t seem particularly fair. Apparently the University of Florida operates on the ’stoning for being a stoner’ philosophy. Code of Hammurabi? Duuuuuude…
