The Whoosh Sound
When this came through, and I’ve got to say, everyone needs to go to church.
Because of the whole gimmick of North Korea I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the setup for some triumphant return, although you’d think they would want to keep the reveal in pocket until next year’s WrestleMania, this story seems like it’ll be tough to string along until then. Imagine Kim Jong Un coming in at #30 during the Royal Rumble, the pop he would get as Bam Bam Bulgolgelow. CONSIDER IT.
Watch this: The Eric Andre Show - available via Hulu
There are some shows that I like leaving on in the background, not focusing on it too much while busying myself with whatever. This…is assuredly not one of those shows. Using the framework of a late-night talk show as a starting point, it is co-hosted by comedians Eric Andre and Hannibal Buress, ‘aggressive’ kind of undersells the style of the show, a rapid-fire mix of hidden-camera/man-on-the-street bits with in-studio sketches and interviews with celebrities/sometimes people who resemble the celebrities. The show has a kind of dangerous, unpredictable energy to it, and it’s always surprising to see where they manage to go in the span of 15 minutes.
Speaking of we may never know what happened, I’m very curious to know what happened here, when—uh, tell you what, just watch this:
To have the presence of mind to pull off the “gone home” turn of phrase is astounding, and I really want to know how the information in this one spot was relayed to the anchor, because I almost threw up laughing from this. Bonus points for recovering with the turn of phrase towards the end.
I really buy into the theory that the best way for the press to handle our Big, Wet President is with never-ending mockery, just repeating everything he’s saying incredulously and asking him to elaborate on his thoughts rather than just plowing right ahead and printing the miscellaneous firings of dying synapses. While they’ll never do it, this is a pretty good preview of what that could look like.
A little while back we mentioned Jay Carney, the former Obama press secretary who is now currently shilling for Amazon, one of many former Obama staffers who went straight into some of the most soulless positions after 2016. His role now is downplaying the impact of the current situation on Amazon’s whole warehouse/delivery infrastructure and, despite what he’s saying, I’d imagine if they wanted to, they could find a way to measure it.
A couple days ago we reviewed the idea of never wanting to be the main character of Twitter on a given day, and today’s Person Who Did Not Internalize That Advice goes to this combination Nazi apologist/astrology enthusiast:
The reply says it all, just keep these great trivia nuggs to yourself please, for forever if possible. You can always tell when someone is the main character on Twitter when they take their account fully private after enduring a conga line of people just windmill dunking on them, and SURE ENOUGH.
Today’s entry from the It Do Be Like That Though Department:
There are just a butt-ton of movies that are at the right extreme that are just the best that I also have zero desire to ever watch again in my life. Meanwhile I’ve spent most of a single Earth day watching CATS. Such is the Duality of Man.
