Man Misses Whale Sighting
I’m not saying I’m any better AT ALL, but something needs to change. Imagine missing a whale that close? Man.
Simpsons Valentines
Where the hell were the printed versions of these Valentine's Day cards when I was a kid? WHERE?!
If you really aren't going to mail out any Valentine's Day cards this year (and why aren't you? Too busy? If you're reading this blog, you're not too busy.) then you should really be using these Simpsons ones or any of the Bob's Burgers ones I recently came across because they're fantastic. You can see the rest of the Simpsons ones over here.
Bob's Burgers Valentines
I try not to promote Buzzfeed listicles often (since, well, they're contributing to the decline of this age), but this one I wholeheartedly endorse.
Why the hell don't adults exchange Valentines at their offices? Seems like they're trying to be a little too-cool-for-school, if you ask me.
Bob's Burgers Cookbook

Remember that guy I told you about who makes the burger recipes from Bob's Burgers into real recipes? HE'S GETTING A BOOK OF HIS RECIPES PUBLISHED. Why is this a big deal? 'Cause I feel like it's kind of rare these days to have someone actually good get a book deal when so many untalented nothings seem to dominate the book world. It's irritating and and a whole other topic, really. But this guy? Cole Bowden? Good for him! Such a great idea and even greater that the show's creator, Loren Bouchard, is so on board with it, too - he's even supplying the cookbook's illustrations, which seems cool as hell.
Can't wait for this to come out. It comes out March 22nd!
The Simpsons Photo Every Day Parody
This video is probably in my top three of favourite Simpsons moments and I'm shocked that I haven't posted it already.
I know that it's a parody, but sometimes remakes are better than the original (Vanilla Sky!). And I understand that parts of this are supposed to come across as funny, but I swear to you I get teary at the part where his dad (Abe) stands by the window after his wife leaves him. (I know what you're thinking - that it's impossible to get teary that fast (it happens in the span of maybe a split second), but I swear I'm telling you the truth. Play this for video for me the next time I see you if you want proof!)
The fact that Abe's wife leaves him, devastates him to the point of excessive drinking and ultimately becoming a terrible father, thus raising an alcoholic son?! Are you kidding me?! Do you see the levels here?! I know it's a fucking comedic cartoon, but c'mon, you gotta give it to me here. I love this show more than I know what to do with sometimes. I really do.
Snow Day
There are only three things I want to do on snow days.
- Make snow ice cream.
- Be in it with someone I love.
- Watch Simpsons snow-centric episodes continuously all day. I'll never really understand why those are my some of the most memorable Simpsons episodes, but they're so beautifully drawn and perfect looking. (My favourite is probably Skinner's Sense of Snow.)
The absolute best part of a snow day? They're not just for kids. Do you have any idea how great that is? That it can just be everyone's day off? Please try to make the most of your next snow day. Look at how much fun you can have, dammit.
SNL Exhibit Coming To NYC
In advance of its 40th anniversary, Saturday Night Live is putting out “Saturday Night Live: The Exhibition,” which is a "museum-like experience promising fans some behind-the-scenes experiences of one of NBC’s longest-running series, including original scripts, set pieces, props, costumes, masks and interactive elements of favourite sketches through the years."
The exhibit, in partnership with Broadway Video, will debut at the Premier exhibition center in New York City this spring. NBC will also air a three-hour 40th anniversary special on February 15th (even though the first episode of the sketch show aired on October 11, 1975).
A specific opening date hasn't been released yet but you can sign up for the pre-sale tickets at the exhibit’s website.
The Best of Judy Grimes
Every time I see an especially bad Weekend Update, I long for the days of Judy Grimes.
