Separated at Birth?

I’m back! Did you miss me? Of course you did!
South African hip hop group Die Antwoord; and…
This Far Side cartoon?
I’m not particularly up on hip hop, but Die Antwoord certainly seem to be doing their own thing. Jesus, though…
No Thanks

There’s a company that provides a useful service for local restaurants who want to cater to students. Their name, however, means that the jokes just write themselves:
Hork…
Some options here:
- No way—do you know where they’ve been?!?
- Thanks, but I’m a vegetarian—from this point onwards.
- This presents the strongest case I’ve ever seen that English needs a vocative case.

Special creepy triplets edition!
Barmy Mahmoud Ahmedinejad; and,
Smarmy Euromillions Spokesmodel; and,
Charmy IT Crowd actor Matt Berry?
I must be scraping the bottom of the barrel: finding these images was surprisingly difficult!
Every Movie. Really.

So some time ago, Cracked made a Trailer for every Academy-Award-Winning Movie Ever:
“Murmur of Agreement”
I love this.

Thug-playing actor J.K. Simmons; and…
Thug-playing actor Hulk Hogan?
Yeah, that wonderfully fractal Hogan picture is amazing, isn’t it? UNSEE!

Special literary/unexpected triplet edition!
Action Man Patrick Leigh Fermor in the 1940s; and…
Action Actor Spike from Buffy?
And also…
Suave Patrick Leigh Fermor in the 1960s; and…
Suave Sheffield actor Dominic West?
I’ll leave a Dominic West/Spike pairing as an exercise for the reader. It’s easily done—go on! Also, if (and when) they decide to do a good movie of Fermor’s life, they could do a lot worse than Dominic West.
All joking aside, Patrick Leigh Fermor was an amazing man: an inveterate traveller, a daring war hero, a fantastic writer, and apparently a joy to be around up until his recent death. RIP.

Special double fortysomething’s countdown to Christmas edition!
Really cool character the Snow Miser; and,
Deeply uncool Senator John Kerry?
But Wait! There’s More!
Really hot character the Heat Miser; and,
Deeply lame Kazon from Star Trek: Voyager?
Good Night, Liebchen

My son loves Curious George. I love pretentious cinema. How can we resolved our viewing dilemmas?
Perfect. No, really, this is inspired.

With the release of Portal 2, Valve have published this shirt, filled with Internet Meme Win:
Aroooo TAKATAKATAKATAKATAKA
This is totally inspired. Oh, and Portal 2? GOODBYE, PRODUCTIVITY.
Tiny Art Director
June 13th, 2011
Before I started off on my own, I worked for what seemed like an eternity for a graphic design firm. The art director would give incredibly vague orders & was outraged when we didn’t read his mind. I think a four-year-old would have been a better boss.
Step forward, Tiny Art Director! Your commands are far clearer, and your criticism are more reasoned! Example:
The Brief: I want you to draw me a dinosaur! Not a scary one! He's taking a bath.
The Critique: I don’t like him.
Job Status: Rejected.

Uhh, no thanks, I’ve lost my appetite.
So, who thinks that the designers were pranking the client?

Apple iOS Veep Scott Forstall; and,
Professional creep Steve Buscemi?
By “Professional Creep”, of course, I mean he frequently plays creeps. Whatever, this has been digging at me for a long time.
No, Really, WTF

So I’m catching up on True Blood—which has generally been good—when it decided to not only jump the shark, but perform a particularly frenetic fandango mid-vault.
I wish I knew, Jean-Luc. I wish I knew.
