Problems

I think we all need a little Adventure Time realness sometimes.

Douglas Coupland Foreword

I'm not sure why but I remember being so excited when I found out that Douglas Coupland was a huge Simpsons fan. I'm not even really a fan of him (though I know nothing of the man so I guess I don't like or dislike him), but whenever someone talented and known loves The Simpsons, it makes me almost giddy. Just really, really happy. (I've heard that Daniel Radcliffe even watches the commentaries!)

I know that I've already shared a few things that I've loved from this book - and here's one more!

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 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. 

Alvin & The Chipmunks Christmas Song

Is it dumb that I really miss this version of the chipmunks? I hate the new ones almost as much as I hate the really old ones. But this Christmas special they had on VHS? I still get tingles from it. There's just something about cartoon snow that really floats my boat.

Great

Just saw this on tumblr and I'm sorry (!) I really liked it.

Bobby Hill

It's weird how Bobby Hill wasn't as beloved as say a Milhouse or a Fry. Kid's the best.
