gross-hotel-mattress

Have you ever stayed in a budget motel? It’s like playing amateur forensic scientist. Depending on what things you find on your pillow and under your bed, you can almost unravel a scene to a crime. I especially hate those A&E true crime documentaries where they take the black light and investigate a motel room’s bedspread and find over 47 different semen stains. Eeeeeew!

Because of its success, LOL Cats has spawned an entire sea of knockoffs hoping to catch the wave alongside the whole phenomenon. Here are the 4 I hate the most. (more…)

It’s no secret – when it comes to sex in the animal kingdom, people take the cake for kinkiest, most f**ked-up creatures of the whole bunch. In fact, we’re so messed up, we can’t even stick to having sex with the same species, some of the time. Not only that, but sometimes we even have sex with fake animals. But these 5 sex toys have to be the creepiest sex toys that involve animals or animal body parts (this side of Japan, anyway). (more…)

How To Have Your Own Comedian Catchphrase

larry-the-cable-guy2Great funnymen have great catchphrases. All the legendary comedians have that one classic line which ingrains itself into the recesses of mind, plopping into the annals of pop-culture.

A successful catchphrase brings a snicker the recipient’s lips by association, humorously reminding the listener of the comedic source referenced, and in turn making the proclaimer funny as well! Here’s a little catchphrase transit theory that will help make this concept clear.

Funny comedian catchphrase+you uttering it= you being funny

In the industry, the name ‘Carrot Top’ goes hand-in-hand with sh!tty comedy.

The Worst Actors Who Turned to Stand-up

First, actors who turn to stand-up comedy are never funny. They think they are ’cause they played a funny character on TV. Being a recognizable name, they didn’t have to cut their teeth on the stand-up circuit and immediately get precious stage time in L.A. clubs. Usually their acts center on what it was like to be on the particular TV show they were once on. That’s usually followed by airline jokes or bits about the difference between men and woman. Here are my choices for the worst: (more…)

The 5 “Best” Gary Coleman Movies

gary-colemanGary Coleman is best known for his role as Arnold Jackson on the American sitcom Diff’rent Strokes. The 4ft 8 in actor was best known for his catch-phrase “Watcha talkin’ `bout Willis?” But Coleman also had a string of hit movies (well, TV movies).

Based on a Oliver Hawthorne screenplay (yes, thee Oliver Hawthorne) in this masterpiece Coleman plays Nick Newell– a very intelligent teenager who is sent to college where he meets his roommate, a popular jock. Coleman’s Nick Newell must learn to adapt to adult life, wild parties, and romance.

Spoiler Alert: Pint-sized comedy hi-jinks ensues.

2. The Kid from Left Field (1979)

This is Coleman at his child actor best.! Portraying Jackie Robinson ‘J.R.’ Cooper, The Kid from Left Field has and yet another movie pairing with veteran actor

Robert Guillaume. This heartwarming father and son/baseball fantasy has Coleman’s J.R. Cooper playing an unheeded lad who takes over as Manger of the Major League Baseball Team San Diego Padres. Why does he do this? It’s an attempt to bring the team from worst to first.

Spoiler Alert: It reminds you of the kid in all of us, who has ever loved the game of Baseball!

3. Scout’s Honor (1980)

In Coleman’s second movie, he portrays Joey Seymour: an orphan yearning to become a boy scout. Coleman’s own company, Zephyr Productions, produced the movie.

4. The Kid with the Broken Halo (1981)

In this fantasy adventure, Coleman portrays Andy LeBeau: a twelve-year-old wayward angel who must prove himself worthy of passing through the Pearly Gates, by being sent to Earth accompanied by a reluctant Robert Guillaume (once again!). Coleman’s LeBeau’s mission: Help out the problems of three cases. The Desautel family who are on the edge of breaking up, the McNulty family who are workaholics and finally, Dorothea Powell who is a secluded, grumpy old woman.

Spoiler Alert: Coleman pulls through in the end.

5. An American Carol (2008)

Coleman plays Bacon Stains Malone. In his much later work in this story off an anti-American filmmaker who’s out to abolish the July Fourth holiday, and is visited by three ghosts who try to change his perception of the country.

Spoiler Alert: Even the kid with the broken halo couldn’t save this stinker.
