Marooned Without a Compass Day. You may ask “what the h*ll is that,” which coincidentally is the same question that many people ask themselves when they watch Lost. There’s very little information out there about who founded Compass Day or that addictive f*cking island, so like any true blogger would do with something he or she doesn’t understand, we’ll poke fun at it using amazing Youtube clips. Here’s some of the best Lost parodies that we could scrounge from the amazing video database. Check them out after the jump!

Have you ever been so pissed at a fictional TV character that you wanted to reach through the screen and shake the sh*t out of them? Technology hasn’t quite reached that point, but we hope it does soon as some characters just piss us off to no end. Sometimes they make mistakes, have annoying voices or are just plain stupid. Whatever the reason, check out our list of the 13 TV characters that rub us the wrong way after the jump.

Last week’s episode of South Park celebrated Stan’s 10th birthday, which is a rarity for cartoon shows. Most refuse to acknowledge their characters’ ages. SP’s been on since ’97 so if Stan were 8 in that year, he’d be around 22 now. The producers of the Harry Potter franchise frantically try to wrap up the series before everyone got boobs and balls. Two and a Half Men will soon Be Three Men (which sounds creepy without “and a Baby” after it). Even though cartoon characters never appear to age, let’s take a look at how old they WOULD be if they did after the jump.

Voice acting is a gift but unfortunately, the average TV viewer doesn’t have a clue who voices their most beloved characters nor do they care. While most voice actors quietly cash their checks in anonymity there’s one who you recognize the instant you hear him chime in: H. Jon Benjamin. He has a new travel/comedy/man-on-the-street show premiering tonight on Comedy Central called Jon Benjamin Has a Van. To honor his pipes, we’re taking a look at 10 of the funniest characters he’s ever voiced. Check out our list after the jump!
Whenever I’m high, I want three things: funny sh*t, food, and more weed. In this post, we address the first of my desires – shows that are guaranteed to make me laugh my @ss off. Sure, the development of On Demand television makes it easier for me to find what I want, but sometimes I forget what I’m doing. For the sake of potheads everywhere, I propose a channel that plays only what we want to watch through the clouds of smoke: Channel 420. Check out our nominees and vote for the shows you think should make it onto our channel after the jump.

Twenty-four years ago today, a crudely drawn animated sitcom about a dysfunctional family with yellow skin made its debut appearance on the Tracey Ullman Show and took an unsuspecting nation by storm – appearing on t-shirts, fanny packs and other junk around the globe! Because of this momentous occasion, we couldn’t help but think about the humble – and low-budget – beginnings of some of our other favorite animated sitcoms. Take an awkward trip down memory lane with COED’s list of rarely seen cartoon sitcom pilots after the jump!

American television has produced some of the world’s most bizarre and eccentric personalities. Sometimes when you’re watching a television show, you can’t help but wonder what the writers were smoking when they created a character that defies all logic and human imagination. Most are quite lovable and have become permanent fixtures in the public imagination, while others are at times downright insane to the point of being creepy. Here are some of television’s most notably strange and peculiar characters that we’ve grown up watching and continue to do so today.

Well, folks, it looks like Drunk Christmas is almost upon us – and by that we mean St. Patrick’s Day! With the smell of finely brewed ale, vomit and dead leprechaun soon to fill the air, we at COED got to thinking about TV characters that drove us to drink in the first place; the figures we’d most like to knock back a few brewskis with. Whether they’re animated or not, these lads and lasses could probably drink us under the table any day of the week and we wouldn’t mind in the least!

It’s hard to imagine a time when the television airwaves weren’t filled with mind-numbing, superficial reality TV shows. However, there was a time when the boob tube wasn’t so bad. Over the past 50+ years we’ve been able to watch pioneering programs that have deeply affected American culture and the media industry as a whole. Who knows where’d we be without their inflluences? Some say we’re worse off because of the envelope it pushed while others praise them for revolutionizing the way we think and behave. Take a look and let us know what you think. See our picks after the jump!

There was once a time when animated sitcoms were all the rage in the wake of shows like The Simpsons and King of the Hill. It seemed like every network threw their hat into the ring at some point. However, many of these shows were either mega ratings bombs or were canned for not pulling in Simpsons-esque numbers. As a result, these series were canceled after their first season, several before their entire run had finished. These are a few of the unlucky ones that never found their place on network television, though most of them enjoy relatively decent success on cable and DVD. See our top 8 picks after the jump!
