Guess what? Seinfeld debuted 25 years ago, which kind of floored me when I realized that. Other than the occasional story line and miscommunication that could easily be solved with today’s technology, the humor of the show has never gotten stale; its quality, miraculously, seems to only get better with time (especially once you get into season four). Now, TBS has been doing the human race a disservice in recent years by moving Seinfeld’s block around/not simply airing 24 hours a day. But it looks like they’re trying to rectify that, for one week at least. In honor of the show’s 25th anniversary, the…

Summer is officially here, which means it’s vital that you actually begin living your life. But that’s a daunting task and I get that you might be feeling a little lost as to how you can take full advantage of the season and everything it offers. After all, summer eventually ends and there’s a ton of pressure to make this brief time with happiness a memorable experience. Having a great summer only takes a few steps, though. Here’s how to do it: Wear a Tank Top Every Single Day This can’t be stressed enough. As the weather gets hotter, reaching stifling temperatures…

For the first time since 2011’s Alpocalypse, the world will be blessed with a new Weird Al album. Debuting on July 15, Weird Al’s 13th solo album is entitled Mandatory Fun and one can surmise that he will – thankfully – be up to the usual in it. As far as we know, it is possible that Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” will be parodied and a band that Patton Oswalt has “worshipped since the ’90s” is on it. As always, I am especially interested in hearing the original songs that will be included on the album. Of course, I’ve always loved…

These poor people. At one point, being a Top 40 DJ actually meant something. Now, there is nothing to do but pimp the exact same playlist each and every hour with increasing – and baffling, almost mentally unstable – enthusiasm, as if we’ve never heard “Royals” before, despite it playing ten minutes ago. This isn’t a job. There is no room for creativity or an individualistic flair. You are bound to play certain songs, tell a horrendous joke and move things along. You are a cog in a merciless, sadistic machine. Where is God’s mercy for these souls? Related articles…

With the World Cup underway, you may have noticed that soccer fans are coming out of the woodwork. It’s one big party and everyone’s invited. But, like many other hipster parties you try to attend, you’re ultimately thinking of any excuse to leave short of just walking away without bothering to tell anybody. Obviously, you couldn’t care less whether or not I watch the World Cup or just mindlessly tweet a player’s name when he scores to break up an agonizingly long scoreless tie. And that’s fine, but like any other hip endeavor, it sure doesn’t feel like it’s okay to think…

Well, the reality has finally set in. A trailer for Dumb and Dumber To actually exists, the answer to all of the suspicions that maybe we were all just being fooled into thinking a sequel was being made. Because it does seem pretty implausible, doesn’t it? As for the trailer itself, there are really only two ways to look at it: 1) Do you like the original Dumb and Dumber? You’re going to be excited for the sequel based on what you see. 2) Did you hate the original Dumb and Dumber? What made you possibly think this trailer would change your mind?…

Since Halle Berry won an Academy Award for her role in Monster’s Ball, she has sort of been…coasting. Sure, she was Jinx in Die Another Day, but that only gets consistently ranked as one of the worst James Bond movies of all time. And hey, she is in the X-Men movies, despite never being given much to do. And there was Catwoman. Peppered between those have been movies like Gothika, Perfect Stranger, Dark Tide, a segment in Movie 43 and The Call. There have been a few decent ones thrown in for good measure, but you can go ahead and tell me which ones those might be (does…

Miss out on seeing Ghostbusters in its original release or when it has been re-released in the past? Beat yourself up no more, because the movie is making its way back to theaters once again this August to celebrate its 30th anniversary. It’s important that you take advantage of this opportunity, because classic, groundbreaking movies don’t just always get re-released into theaters. And Ghostbusters is one of the best comedies of all time, which is an indisputable fact. It’s a perfectly crafted story featuring some of the best comedians and – more importantly – comedy writers of their time. Its originality becomes more…

I’ve been to two Weird Al concerts in my life, about 15 years apart. The first, I was somewhere around ten or 11 years old and, naturally, I went with my parents. I remember a lot of high kicking, costumes and, even then, the amazement at the band’s ability to switch between so many genres of music so quickly, almost completely mirroring the original sound. And then in 2013, when I saw Weird Al again at an outdoor venue during the summer, it was refreshing and amazing to know that he hasn’t lost a step as a performer. The kicks…

There’s nothing cuter than a puppy acting like a human, like when it wears a suit. And now they want to drive our cars? Fine by me. Especially after hearing that a German shepherd puppy in Massachusetts accidentally drove her owner’s Dodge Neon right into a pond after jumping in the car and knocking the gear shift into drive. What’s cuter than that? Frankly, we should let more dogs drive. They couldn’t be any worse than humans, and it would be a lot harder to get road rage staring at an adorable, floppy-eared golden retriever. Related articles German shepherd puppy drives owner’s car…
