I'll say it again: Tom Hanks is a national treasure. Here's a clip from his appearance on the Late Show, in which he pokes fun at his habit of making historical mini-series on HBO by announcing his latest pet project: an 11-part series on the creation of the Pop Tart. He plays Bert Loomis, without whom we may have never had Preston Meyers developing a crush on Jennifer Love Hewitt in Can't Hardly Wait. More »

Occupy Wall Street not getting enough media attention for your liking? Why not jazz it up and make it kid-friendly by adding our favorite characters from Sesame Street in the mix? (And no, their newest addition, Lily, did not make the list.) Tauntr has created a of fictional photo set of Grover being handcuffed, Bert being detained, and Oscar The Grouch sleeping in the movement's tent city. We love it when muppets fight the power. More »

What if Michele Bachmann shopped on Amazon.com and then reviewed her purchases? Pleated-Jeans brings us this rendering, which points out that she would probably be unsatisfied with any eye makeup she bought to subdue the effect her crazy-eyes have on people and that Bert and Ernie apple juice just might make her son gay.

There was a good article in the Washington Post earlier this week about being infertile on Facebook.  I was never on Facebook during vulnerable times, so I don't know quite how it feels.  I can vividly imagine it, though.  More »

For its season premiere, SNL—with guest host Amy Poehler—parodied the fashion competition amongst ladies who lunch. In this case, the "it" item of the season was a tiny hat. But the "tiny hat" joke has been done before. More »

Answer: None, they only screw the poor. You'd think that joke would only be funny to the left-leaning among us, but you'd be wrong! According to a study in the science section of today's New York Times, Republicans enjoy all kinds of humor more than Democrats do. The study involved telling 300 people in Boston 3 different jokes: one "traditional" joke about a golfing widower, one just plain silly joke, and one "absurdist" joke cribbed from Jack Handey's SNL mainstay "Deep Thoughts". The assumption going in was that conservatives would prefer the traditional joke, says the Times' John Tierney. And they did. But they also preferred the silly and absurdist jokes. But how come?

Back in August, Mediaweek reported that the National Lampoon network of websites was going to add a "Female-Centric Site," called the 8228 Network. Hooray, we thought. Maybe now hilarious up-and-coming women comics will get the internet airplay they deserve! Then we went to the 8228 dummy page, and apparently "female centric" means "great articles, gossip, lists, celebrity pics and more" — not exactly a platform for burgeoning female comedic talents. Confusing! So we called Zach Posner, the Vice President of Corporate Development at National Lampoon, and he made the 8228 Network's mission even clearer: "we might even do a recipe site," he told me. "We could go there!" More »
