And yet we're still fucked from all of it.

A Trip Down Memory Lane with Arnold

This is a little bit of content free material that lets you turn off your brain and see inside our former Governor's mind as he takes us down memory lane to his old stomping grounds of Venice Beach, California.



Not mentioned is how many women he harassed along the way there. Oh, he was one of those rough around the edges bad boys.

GoT: April 6th is Coming

GoT: April 6th is Coming

I feel a little strange because the next day I turn 34 and my father is now dead. It's a strange feeling. But in any event, April 6th is the premiere of Game of Thrones next season. One step closer to catching up with G.R.R.'s book series.

In any event, here's the trailer and bam, enjoy this shit.

The Best Gift for Valentine's Day is Preparation For The Future

The Best Gift for Valentine's Day is Preparation For The Future

About this time of year I'll either bitch about the commercialization and material display of "love" either that or I'll take pity on the whole thing and just post odd and funny valentine's cards. Which seems like a little kids school tradition that should have been kept around a bit more as it is a nice gesture for everyone to feel like the other kids like them.

In any case, today I bring you a much different ad. A much different take on securing the future for your loved one.


Having just gone through a death in the family, I sort of can relate to having to deal with putting affairs in order and the mess that is the funeral arrangements. While my father had his funeral arrangements just about completed, it was still a huge mess and a very costly bundle of money to even open and close the mausoleum as well as the police escorts and well, yeah, it was a mess even when organized.

Add in that a lot of funeral directors are worse than lawyers when it comes to playing on your weakest time - when a loved one just passes, and try to squeeze you for all the money you have.

So you know what, yeah, it's securing your future and offering the loved one a chance NOT to deal with that. I'd go on to say that you should be buying your own funeral arrangements for yourself as a Valentine's day gift to your loved one. They may not think it's as romantic as a diamond ring, but come time to put you in the cold cold ground, they'll thank you for the pain and suffering you'll be able to avoid as you're grieving the loss of a loved one.

That is if they even plan to be with you to the end.

How About Not Having Kids

How About Not Having Kids

As I reach towards the middle years of my 30's, I find this little ditty to be pretty damn accurate.



Yup, how about not having kids? I'm not saying I don't ever want to have kids. But come on, I'm far from being even remotely ready in dealing with kids. Financially and emotionally, I'm not there yet.

Public Service Announcements that Escalated Quickly

For when the public isn't paying attention enough and you just want to hammer home the message. Use one of these styles of PSA...

Ice Cream - The Huell Howser Way

Ice Cream - The Huell Howser Way

In an attempt to get out a bit more, I'm taking more weekly trips to places that Huell Howser went out to. This spot... well, let's just say that it's one that I've been going to for as long as I could remember because it's some delicious Ice Cream.

But hey, don't take my word for it. Go down there and get some ice cream. And if you have 30 minutes to view, here's a link to the Visiting Video Log of Huell at Fosselman's.

Boy Howdy! That's some delicious Ice Cream!

Mabel's Guide to Dating

Mabel's Guide to Dating

With Valentine's day just around the corner, it's about time you get some love advice. Who better to give it to you than Disney Channel's Gravity Fall star, Mabel Pines. Listen to this gal.



Now that was enjoyable. Unlike Valentine's day. Fuck that day.

Pliny The Younger

Pliny The Younger

It's that time of the year again. When Russian River releases Pliny the Younger. It's a hop head's wet dream. A triple IPA that really taste sweet. In fact, I think that's the silly part, it can get you fucked up if you're not paying attention, but it's by no means what you're use to in drinking a bitter hoppy beer.

In any case, it's a sought after beer that people wait hours and hours in line for. The fresher the better on it. In fact, here's a little documentary that will teach you a thing or two about what makes this one beer snob's wet dream come true...



It's good, but I sure as hell won't wait in line for it, I'll tell you that much.

Terry Gilliam Is Back

Terry Gilliam Is Back

Well, this restores my faith in Terry Gilliam's projects, as well as being really excited for it since the cast in this looks fucking amazing...




So what's it about?

An eccentric and reclusive computer genius plagued with existential angst works on a mysterious project aimed at discovering the purpose of existence – or the lack thereof -once and for all. However, it is only once he experiences the power of love and desire that he is able to understand his very reason for being.

Shit man, I'm excited.

Gotham High

Gotham High

So in an attempt to not bother writing anything, here's a little mash up clip of shit like 10 teens I hate about you as well as a few others to highlight the fact that a lot of actors in the Batman Franchise were in other films themselves.

Who would have thought that Joker and Robin went to the same school?! go figure...



Eh, it was entertaining, at the very least.

Explaining L.A. to New Yorkers

Explaining L.A. to New Yorkers

There's a reason why I dislike New Yorkers. It's because they constantly feel like New York is the center of the fucking universe and that no other place can compare to it. So when they come to Los Angeles, the first thing that they seem to do is compare it to New York and try to get some basic understanding of the lay out.

See the native New Yorker try to grapple with the geography in this video



And realize THAT YOU SHOULD FUCKING STOP COMPARING L.A. TO NEW YORK! God damn, people!

Batman Drink - The Gotham City Iced Tea

Here's a drink themed after Gotham that will get you so fucked up you'll forget that you're in a crime filled cesspool of crazy criminals.

Commercialize and the Big Foot Ball Game

Commercialize and the Big Foot Ball Game

Let's face reality, a great part of the Super Bowl is all about cheering for the team you swear you were cheering to win the entire season.... the other part is to enjoy the vast amounts of commercialization and consumer products being sold to you. Because a lot of this game is all about selling you shit you don't need.

In doing so the hype about the ads shown during the game goes fucking crazy leading up to it. This year it seems like the companies can't wait to get the hype train going and just cranked out a shit ton of them early.

So here they are, because I always talk shit about them anyway. Thanks for giving me the heads up, Big Corporations!



So  Bud is all about horses and dogs getting married, but fuck that shit if gay people are going to ruin the sanctity of that sacred union! I don't know what to think of this one, it's a little odd. Meh, it's Bud.




I'm not sure why a car company would want to tap into the Matrix franchise. It didn't end well and the last time anyone remembered it fondly was 14 years ago. Yeah, this one is a huge miss, but I guess KIA just got the DVDs of this film finally.



I love Muppets. So this ad could do no wrong with me. It's silly and Dr. Teeth is in it, which is a muppet version of Dr. John. So yeah, that ad was great even though I don't want a Toyota.

Here's another car ad


Then there's a puppy version of it...


Well played car max. Well played.

Oh John Stamos, smooth move


I better start trying that.

But here's Jaguar showing us that British people are clearly the enemy.


 Apparently bears like yogurt



Meh.

This ad is a complete pussy


This is your typical Coke bullshit.


Apparently football players have to get side jobs as lawn mowers. Terrible unions, I'd say.

What the hell is this ad all about?


You have a big bang nerd picking up on a chick and getting a Jew rambling in the back seat while Jeff Bridges makes some money on voice over work.

But then again, the man likes that pay check...


Maybe the son wasn't meant to stay alive...

In this one, I would say that there's far too much roids per tv square inch.


Then there's this New Castle stuff... Which was great




So yeah, there's a slew of ads already shown so why should we care? At least Spider-man is saving something for the big game


But to men, I'm most looking forward to some new Captain America footage.



Fuuuuuuuuck yeah.

Liking it in the Can

Liking it in the Can

So Bud made this ad a couple of years ago and it was just not fitting the proper demography that the company wanted.. With Super Bowl around the bend, I guess it's perfectly fine to point out...



Then you have this little comical tragedy..



Ah, that was good.
