Last week’s episode of NBC’s “30 Rock” featured a fictitious reality TV show called “MILF Island” (clip below).
“Holy Hot Mamas!
But who will be the final Mommy You’d Like to . . . you know . . . ?
Twenty MILFs, fifty eighth grade boys, and no rules!
And tonight . . . one winner!
Welcome to MILF Island!”

And NBC has already come through with the goods:
MILF Island T-Shirts!
Yesterday Adobe released their Adobe Media Player (AMP).
It has a nice iTunes Store feel to it, but without having to buy anything - TV shows, podcasts, movie shorts, all free and all playing smoothly. I recommend you download it (it’s free!).
Also, this is perhaps the smoothest-running 1.0 version of anything I’ve ever used (apparently bug-free).
Suck it, Windows Media Player!

As CollegeHumor.com says, “So what if it was their second date? She was the one!”
Ya gotta feel bad for this guy…but at least he got a free beer!

Check out this hilarious clip of a reporter unknowingly getting high while he does a story on the marijuana and cocaine burning behind him!
[update from Heywood]: According to you a YouTube comment, this is a clip from a British TV comedy called ‘Drop the Dead Donkey‘. Still; pretty freakin funny.
Dom DeLuise has his own line of seasonings.
Paul Newman has is own damn aisle in the grocery store.
And now Jeff Foxworthy has released his own line of beef jerky.
Saw it in the store and bought a bag. A note to the potential consumer: opening the bag smelled like a giant barbeque fart.
Suggestions for better marketing taglines for this product:
• Stale comedy premise, fresh beef jerky!
• A taste so great, you’ll beat your wife!
• If this is your dinner, you just might be a redneck.
• As seen on COPS!
• Red meat, red states, red necks.
• Free Skynyrd T-shirt offer inside.
• It’s like a trailer park in your mouth!
• Now another reason why you’ll see Jeff Foxworthy at a gas station!
I took this screenshot after last night’s UNC-Duke men’s basketball game. Take special note of Dick Vitale’s hyperhidrotic sweat glands… I mean, who sweats through his own tie?
Recently seen while channel surfing (Actually, I saw this just minutes before flipping to Alyssa Brown smashing her face):
In addition to the mispelling, what a pertinent set of statistics for Fox News to be displaying…
Great use of the censored “beep” sound clip to give the shtick of Sesame Street’s The Count a whole new meaning.

I usually could give a flying F$%# about celebrities.
Other than making fun of them.
Go Fug Yourself has a great drunken Lindsay Lohan and Sharon Stone dialogue - this is some brilliant comedy writing.

Head over to mashup.starwars.com to make your very own Star Wars mashup out of both their clips and your own. Originally this was part of a SpikeTV contest and the winners were posted on Spike. Even though the deadline has passed, you can still do some funny stuff. Here’s a hilarious one my buddy Ralph made– Greedo’s Gangsta Ebonics. Enjoy!
Just when you thought that Google had done everything and then some, they go and announce a new move today: a partnership with Matsushita of Japan and YouTube, to bring Internet video to conventional plasma TVs.
IPTV has been touted for years now as the future (anyone remember Microsoft’s $425 million acquisition of WebTV in 1997?), but this move in particular, more than any other, could actually stand to have an impact in this space and inspire other content providers to interface with the solution. Sure, Microsoft has moved further into IPTV with MSNtv and lately, the Xbox 360, but to utilize these and other services, one has to buy hardware.
What will be interesting with the gTV, however, will be to see if what this looks like in a more concrete, developed form: will Google’s efforts be in the vein of the iPhone and Internet video, where only YouTube and other Google content (Picasa, for example) can be consumed through these TVs, or will other Internet video be available, such as Joost, Hulu, and network content? The possibilities seem endless, so it will be interesting to see the extent to which copyright concerns and other business partnerships (or potentially the lack thereof) affect the final product and consumer experience.

“The Newlywed Game” (1977):
Bob Eubanks: “Where specifically is the weirdest place that you personally, girls, have ever gotten the urge to ‘make whoopee’?”
Contestant (Olga): “Umm . . . the as$?”
A proud moment for Olga’s family:
Technically . . . “the as$” is a place.
Some might consider this bad taste, but if you’re able to find any semblance of humor in the absolutely ridiculous video of University of Florida student Andrew Meyer being tazered after asking some pointed questions at a John Kerry speech back in September of this year, or if you own one of the millions of “Don’t Taze Me, Bro” t-shirts for sale on the Web, the “Don’t Taze Me Bro - Rap Remix” will come as enjoyable entertainment for you. Don’t get me wrong, this all was terrible and in my opinion completely unjustifiable, but at least this well-done rap song gets my head knocking…
Ok, what I was really searching for was a montage of all the 4th wall breaking smirks and eyebrow raising shots from The Office set to some funny ghetto fabulous 50 Cent song, etc (…someone must have spent hours and hours doing something completely useless like that right)?
But, this is just as funny…
If you missed the MTV VMA’s last night, which is totally understandable if you did because, well, MTV sucks; you should at least check out Sarah Silverman’s opening bit which followed a less than amateur performance by Britney Spears. Silverman’s comedic style is so well suited for hosting award shows because she’s great at creating an awkward setting and is not afraid to call out certain “celebrities” for being stupid people in “real life.” Overall the show seemed to lack any genuine excitement. I’m not surprised. There is something about today’s American pop-culture that is disgustingly reminiscent about high school to me. Whatever…I’m blogging about it, which is what they want, right? Anyhow, watch the clip. You’ll feel pleasantly uncomfortable.
“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” just may be one of the funniest damn television shows ever written. A detail in one of the episodes (season 2 - “The Gang Goes Jihad”) has caught the attention of several serious fans: a mysterious sandwich called a “Grilled Charlie.” Below are the results of my own reverse engineering analysis of a Grilled Charlie.
Its appearance and description in the show offer several good clues to its construction:
•Firstly, the instructions shouted by its creator, Charlie:
“A Grilled Charlie has peanutbutter last! Peanutbutter outside, chocolate inside! Butter inside, cheese outside!”
•Close inspection of the scene reveals a jar of JIF peanutbutter, a packet of American cheese slices (or cheddar), and a bottle of Hershey’s syrup next to the hotplate used to fry the “Grilled Charlie” (though other posted recipes erroneously indicate a chocolate bar).
Here’s a possible/probable way to create this:
Step 1 - Butter the bejeezus out of one side of a piece of white bread. Place the piece of bread, butter-side down, onto a hot skillet (if you’re hardcore, your skillet is on a hotplate and you’re in a filthy apartment).
Step 2 - As the butter side is frying, place a slice of cheese (American or possibly cheddar) on the top of the bread and let it melt. Then flip the bread over and fry the cheese side (you’ll need a sh*tload of butter to pull this off properly). You’ll have to keep moving it so the cheese doesn’t burn off the bread.
Step 3 - Remove the butter-cheese slice and put a new white bread slice onto the skillet (make sure there is still sufficient butter in the skillet to fry it). Fry the piece of bread, and while it is frying put Hershey’s chocolate syrup on the top side. Flip the bread over and quickly fry the chocolate side (it will actually fry if you do it right). Remove from skillet.
Step 4 - Join the two pieces of fried bread, cheese on outside, butter and chocolate on the inside. Add JIF peanutbutter to the outside of the sandwich (not clear if it goes on top of the cheese or on the opposide side of the sandwich).
Step 5 - Eat warm, with cold beer. Then prepare for the heart attack.
It is surprisingly good - a nice combination of burnt cheese, chocolate and peanutbutter.
The website for the upcoming Simpsons Movie is pretty damn stellar. If you haven’t done it already, make your own Simpsons avatar: a Simpsonified version of yourself. Here’s the Blogadilla crew.
Would you believe that we pretty-much look like this? Except Chris is much much shorter, Cindi’s hair is much larger, Heywood is actually blind, and AMP looks even more like the lovechild of Lisa Loeb and Tina Fey.
Thanks Team Blogadilla for submitting your images.
A couple weeks ago, Heywood and I posted photos of two of the 7-Eleven “Kwik-E-Mart” conversions (from Mountain View, CA and 42nd Street, NYC). Blogadilla reader (and our new best friend) Kulle sent us some nice photos of the Kwik-E-Mart in Burbank, CA. Thanks Kulle!
