Chewing up the week's media so we can regurgitate it, half-digested, into your mouth.

On this week's infoMania Britney's back, Sarah finds out why women get all weak in the knees for vampires, Hotties hate sleeves, Sergio counts down the most downloaded songs according to iTunes, Conor applies advice from the Today show and Ben spends some time with Afro Ninja.

infoMania is a half-hour satirical news show that airs on Current TV. The show puts a comedic spin on the 24-hour chaos and information overload brought about by the constant bombardment of the media. Hosted by Conor Knighton and co-starring Brett Erlich, Sarah Haskins, Ben Hoffman, and Sergio Cilli, the show airs on Thursdays at 10 pm Eastern and Pacific Times and can be found online at current.com/infomania. And make sure to check out our facebook profile for special features at infomaniafacebook.com.

    • Bret- Lovely dancing

      Sergio- Your competitive nature never does any harm to this world, so keep going on.

      Sarah- Twilight! OMFG. I may not like that series at all but I love you bringing in your staff writer. He does hold a resemblance. Nice makeup job too. The eyeliner is a nice touch.

      Ben- Thank you for these interviews. I really do not want to watch the virals on YouTube and it's always good to hear their side.

      Connor- Is that your real family? And thank you for reinforcing my reason why I don't watch morning shows anymore. They don't make sense.

      Can't wait for next week :D

    • LOL at Conor's comment on the dog magazine having "lots of well-groomed bitches." Speaking of well-groomed bitches, Mark Ganek (j/k, O namesake of mine but way funnier than me) really did look like "Twilight"'s Robert Pattinson, although the vampire dude's more gaunt cuz he probably doesn't have a Total Gym or Soloflex in his crypt and/or has never sucked on steroid-tainted blood. Sarah, um, what's the page number in the book version for that heart-wrenching dialogue, which you deftly performed, that went: "Do you want a burrito or do you not want a burrito?" =P

      I luv Sergio, Brett and Conor dancing their little hearts out when they banded together to form what I'm calling The Current Backstreet Boys who-don't-sing-but-that-might-be-a-good-thing (TCBBWDSBTMBAGT, for short). I first thought that the freeze at the end of the dance was simply a freeze-frame. Way to go, Brett and Conor, for striking that 9-second pose, which is only surpassed by Mark's impressive 77+ seconds of immobility on "Campaign Update: Epilogue." To accomplish that feat, did you guys have to imagine the roar of stadium applause going on for nine seconds?

      Thanks for all those holiday hints on how to handle touchy subjects at the family dinner table. I'm gonna try em cuz they can't be any worse than my usual retort of "Fuck you, nunya business!" (Nah, I actually say "darn you" instead.)

      When I thought it couldn't get any tackier than gifting plastic surgery, WTF with that prostate exam ad?? I found it funny yet disturbing, so I'm not going to dignify it with inappropriate sexual references, which I anyway reserve exclusively for Brett. =P~

    • Sarah is the coolest. I laughed throughout the show. I posted it to my facebook friends. I watched the ad.
      Please keep infoMania on!

    • Dear Sarah,
      Thank you for reaffirming my belief that some films aren't made with folks like me in mind. Actually, that would be most films. Many of them can be seen on Sci-fi, Comedy Central, TBS, USA, Bravo, AMC, TNT, Lifetime, Hallmark, g4,... Aw Hell. All of the cable channels. I mean, how much Steven Segal, Whitney Houston or Lou "Diamond" Phillips can one person take?
      Great show, troops.

    • I just read an article about scientists creating artificial sperm. This could make men obsolete! I urgently need Conor, Ben, Sergio, and Bret to send me their sperm...for archival purposes.

      P.S.
      Sarah, send me whatever you can.

    • I have to disagree with the "would've been better in leotards" thought. I found their clothing choice...wise. But the show was white hot - All of it, not just Sergio.

    • Aren't these shows supposed to be a half hour?

      This episode was just over 27 minutes. I feel that I am missing out on just under three minutes of content that isn't there. That could be an entire segment on... um, I don't know...

      something inane and pointless...

      like everything on the rest of the show. Basically I feel cheated that I have hypothetically wasted time that has been wasted by an exponent of two, by never existing for me to waste. I am being cheated at extra dimensional right angles to the direction of the 4th dimensional flow of time!

      To make up for it, I wrote this comment.
