This morning, The Muppets released a high definition viral parody of Queen’s classic song “Bohemian Rhapsody“. The video, which features over 40 Muppet characters, coincides with the release of Queen’s new album. If you haven’t seen the video yet (its been spreading rapidly around the interwebs all morning), click after the jump.
Sarah Palin's book "Going Rogue" was everywhere--every media outlet in the States has done at least a dozen pieces about it. Well now it's nowhere to be found: "Going Rogue" has gone rogue. It picked up a gun, snuck off the set of "Late Night," evaded FBI capture, shot Rachel Maddow and went to meet up with its lover.
This was all part of a sketch last night on Jimmy Fallon's show that was equal parts crazypants and hilarious. They used every fugitive-on-the-run cliche to give the book a life of its own. The only part we found unrealistic was that "Going Rogue" shacked up with "New Moon." We're pretty sure a fantasy book about vampires is too godless for that to be accurate. More likely it would have hopped in bed with Norman Podhoretz's "Why We Were in Vietnam" or Irving Kristol's "Two Cheers for Capitalism."
By now you may have seen Jude Law, Christopher Walken and Eric Cartman do their renditions of Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" but you haven't seen the titans go head to head, battling in the ultimate Poker Face-Off. YouTubers Mastgrr and HatPerson combined forces to bring you an epic showdown. So who won? Tell us in the comments section.
It's hard to mock Glenn Beck. He's sort of become a caricature of himself, leaving little room for others to inject more humor into the situation. But brave men have tried and these five succeeded.
Earlier this week, Jon Stewart did a segment on Sean Hannity's health care protest coverage in which he revealed that the Fox host had used footage of a different, larger event to make gathering look more impressive. The "Daily Show" went on to mock Fox by adding more video to Hannity's story, this time from Woodstock and the movie "300."
The next night, Hannity apologized saying Stewart was right. Stewart watched the show in anticipation of this moment, but after tons of tears and teddy-bear hangings, he revealed that "nothing's worth sitting through this."
Stewart went on to praise Ramin Hedayati, the young producer who caught the Hannity flub. (Full disclosure I know Mr. Hedayati personally.) "He" came came out on stage to take a bow and despite having graduated college in 2002, Ramin looks surprisingly old and begged Stewart to kill him so he could stop watching Sean Hannity's show.
Bent TV is at it again, making "Star Wars" story lines into cartoon rap videos. Their first installment covered the basics, but didn't really give us the full flavor of these hardcore hooligans. This time Vader laid down the law, Leia got in her gold bikini, and Obi Wan went all Flava Flav.
Steven Colbert continues to shine his light on climate change. “The market has spoken. Climate change is real.”
Al Gore went on the Colbert Report last night, and am I left laughing, speechless, and fully knowledgeable about the publisher and price of his new book. It’s fun seeing Al Gore camp it up with Colbert…and practice….(was that waterboarding?) to prove the point that it’s not going to be very comfortable if we all end up under water:
On Wednesday night, Stephen Colbert took on the topic of what to do about climate change. In his segment, Formidable Opponent where he debates himself using a split screen, he comes to a stalemate over what Al Gore says about free market solutions to global warming. Then, in walks.... Al Gore! Check out their hilarious interaction and watch to the end where Gore simulates what adapting to global warming will be like for Stephen
It's Sesame Street's 40th anniversary and while Google is celebrating with Big Bird's feet, we are more interested in Oscar the Grouch's latest antics. Yes, it seems the surly, trash-can-living muppet is busting out his reporter chops these days and much to the dismay of his audience he's being all lovey-dovey with his interviewees. At the end of the segment one of his viewers calls to tell him she's changing the channel, "From now on I am watching 'Pox' News. Now there is a trashy news show."
Andrew Breitbart's Big Hollywood site is not amused. T
Of the many countries participating at the Vancouver Olympics, add Colbert Nation to the list.
On Monday's "The Colbert Report," Stephen Colbert announced his show has become the primary sponsor of the U.S. Speedskating team. The team's largest annual cash sponsor, DSB Bank NV, left the team in the lurch after it declared bankruptcy in October.
The name "Colbert Nation" – the catchall for the legion of ardent fans of the satirical Comedy Central program – will be emblazoned on the team's uniforms.
"On their enormous, billboard thighs, it will say, 'Colbert Nation,'" Colbert said in an interview before Monday evening's taping. "Be looking for that logo as it comes around the final turn. It will be easy to see because it will be in first place."
The show isn't paying the team any money directly. Instead, Colbert is calling on his fans to donate to the team via and . In the past, Colbert has had a great deal of success raising money this way. He has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Yellow Ribbon Fund, a charity that assists injured service members and their families.
Americans love Halloween. We as a country spend over $5 billion a year celebrating it. But where did the holiday come from? And how did traditions like asking strangers for food and dressing up as ghosts develop?
If you watched last Wednesday's South Park you probably noticed Cartman's amazing performance of "Poker Face" in between all the dolphin and whale slaughtering. Here's a clip of his "Rock Band" rendition for those who missed it.
But even if you don't you can appreciate the hilarity of this video. "Breakfast At Sulimay's" is a regular Web show in which older folks weigh in on popular music. In this episode they judge the music video "Kids" and it does not go well. Then again they hated Animal Collective too, so they may just not like hipsters.But even if you don't you can appreciate the hilarity of this video. "Breakfast At... more
Chad Hardy is, above all things apparently, an entrepreneur. When Hardy started selling the unexpectedly popular "Men on a Mission" calendar, featuring Mormon beefcakes recently returned from church-required missions, he suffered the consequences.
Not only did the Mormon stronghold of Brigham Young University deny Hardy's degree a month after he participated in the graduation ceremony, but the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS) full-on excommunicated him. That's no small thing in a church that encourages followers to disconnect from wayward family members. But did Chad Hardy repent and try to get back into the church's good graces? Nope. He just got cracking on another hot calendar idea -- this time featuring the female side of the church.
Hardy's new calendar, "Hot Mormon Muffins: A Taste of Motherhood," features LDS women in sexy pin-up style poses celebrating both their outer beauty and their family values by including favorite recipes for tasty muffins. There's no way he's not going to make money on this thing. And obviously the church is not going to be amused.
The Associated Press reports that church spokesperson Kim Farah declined to comment on the new calendar Monday. But if the church was angry enough to excommunicate Hardy, it would appear likely that the 12 moms (ranging in age from 26 to 53) appearing in "Hot Mormon Muffins" will have to watch out.
At least one of the models has already expressed her defiance. Tami Roberts, 35, of Idaho Falls, Idaho, said she did the calendar, in part, because she wants her 3 daughters to "know that everybody is not the same and it's OK to make your own choices." Roberts read about the "Men on a Mission" calendar last year, and decided that she wanted to be a part of the new project after reading about Hardy's punishment.
"That made me mad, I did not agree with that," the cover model said. "The pictures are tasteful, and it's fun. I don't see why people can't have a sense of humor. I just don't think it's a big deal."Chad Hardy is, above all things apparently, an entrepreneur. When Hardy started... more
A blogger with a grudge against Republicans in Congress made a fake ad this week spoofing the iPhone app commercials. "If you want to refute scientific research by quoting Biblical prophecy...There's a rep for that," it says. In the accompanying blog post the video's auteur explains his claims and sums it up by saying, "The Republican party today has little interest in developing constructive policy. Its reps would rather spend their energy offering up ridiculous claims to see if they can ride a wave of deceit back into power. Hopefully, they'll just catch a riptide and get pulled further out to sea."

When Obama became president people thought all comedy had beenen ensued during the last eight years would go away but the republicans proved us wrong this year.
On ""Real Time" Friday night, Bill Maher decided to end his show by mocking all the Republicans who have become prime targets for jokes now that George Bush is no longer front and center. "It turns out there were plenty of ridiculous Republicans behind him that we just couldn't see," Maher said. "His stupid star doth shone too brightly."

In 2005, Jamie Leigh Jones was gang-raped by her Halliburton/KBR co-workers while working in Iraq and locked in a shipping container for over a day to prevent her from reporting her attack. The rape occurred outside of U.S. criminal jurisdiction, but to add serious insult to serious injury she was not allowed to sue KBR because her employment contract said that sexual assault allegations would only be heard in private arbitration--a process that overwhelmingly favors corporations.
This year, Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) proposed an amendment that would deny defense contracts to companies that ask employees to sign away the right to sue. It passed, but it wasn't the slam dunk Jon Stewart expected. Instead the amendment received 30 nay votes all from Republicans. "I understand we're a divided country, some disagreements on health care. How is ANYONE against this?" He asked.
He went on to show video of Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) arguing that it's not the government's place to decide who the government does business with and juxtaposed that with Republican sentiment on how the government should deal with ACORN. "I guess it's an efficiency thing. You don't want to waste tax-payer money giving it to someone who advises fake prostitutes how to commit imaginary crimes, you want to give it to Halliburton because they're committing real gang rape."In 2005, Jamie Leigh Jones was gang-raped by her Halliburton/KBR co-workers while... more
Jon Stewart skewered Fox News last night for covering every tea party protest in America (no matter how small) but not sending a reporter, or even a camera crew, to cover Sunday's gay rights march which included more than 75,000 protesters. Stewart and his team at the "Daily Show" counted how much time Fox devoted to even speaking about the march on Washington and it totaled less than 4 minutes.Jon Stewart skewered Fox News last night for covering every tea party protest in... more
