Rich Evans on Ellen

Rich Evans is so famous that other celebrities have to talk about him in interviews.


For the origins of Dick the Birthday Boy (the modern origins), check out Best of the Worst: "Night Beast, Trick or Treat, and Skull Forest".

But how did this happen?

Rich was raised by his grandmother and she's the one that designed the shirt. No one really questioned it in sort of a "what grandma wants, grandma gets" kind of way. After Rich's grandmother died, Rich asked his friend, minor internet celebrity Mike Stoklasa, to help him go through the house to sort out her belongings and throw things away. Mike found the photo, put it in his pocket and didn't tell Rich about its existence until he sprung it on him for Best of the Worst. Rich had no memory of the shirt, the photo or the way in which it fell into Mike's hands, so his reaction is genuine.

Mystery Diners?

This video posits that "Mystery Diners" is the worst show on tv. Is it? Well first I want to know what even is a Mystery Diner?

This video starts out a bit rough but stick with it, it's redeemed by great bad reality show acting and great bad reality show twists.... and some great editing.

How to Solve Who Shot Mr. Burns

A pretty well done video re-examining the case of Who Shot Mr. Burns and giving some of the clues that were hidden throughout the episode.



I've never talked to enough people about it to know whether my answer was obvious or perhaps "too obvious" but I always thought it was "obvious" that it was the dog, Santa's Little Helper.

First, the dog was left in the car with the gun. Mr. Burns speaks to someone who doesn't speak back and he doesn't react as if that's a strange thing. And he says "I think you better drop it. I said drop it!" which is clearly a dog phrase. Plus, it being a non-human no one would go to jail and they could carry on the show as if nothing happened.

Even if you were going to go down the route that Mr. Burns points to W and S on the sundial to somehow give a clue as to who did it - I've never bought that idea for a second - but even if you were doing that he pointed to "S" and "M" for Simpson's Mutt.

So I've always thought that that's the answer and I was so convinced, so sure that I was right that I've never accepted the "real" answer. It wasn't Maggie, it was the dog! Like I said, maybe my answer is so obvious that it would be too obvious and was intended to throw people off. I don't know, I'd need to talk to more people to see. But the even greater mystery is: how could there be a massive nationwide contest and not one person actually guessed the right answer? That may be proof that the real answer really was objectively very stupid.

Late Show - Lyle the Intern

This compilation is an 1 hour and 6 minutes long. I can't recommend watching a full hour of Lyle the Intern. No one has had such a long exposure to Lyle and in such a high concentration so the effects are completely unknown. I'm not here to disrespect what you got goin' on here, Biggie Smalls. You read me, Potsy?

But let me hit you with some knowledge... During this era of Late Show comedy pieces, this was the highlight - perhaps the ONLY highlight. If you're pickin' up what I'm puttin' down, make like a communist and hit that red square.



The collection ends with a rehearsal segment for a skit that never aired. So don't be too confused.

Lawyer Reacts To...

The youtube channel LegalEagle was started as an informative channel to help guide students through law school but wasn't until they started "reacting to" court scenes in television and movies, it really took off.

This is the video that really attracted my attention. Here a real lawyer reacts to movies like "My Cousin Vinny" and "The Insider".



"The Insider", by the way, is a very very underrated and under-seen movie. If you haven't seen "The Insider", check it out.

Between the extremes of education and useless entertainment, the video above represents the sweet spot between the two where both can go hand-in-hand most harmoniously. After this, the reaction videos devolve into all the court scenes of all the various stupid video games, episodes of "Law and Order", "Ally McBeal" etc.

But I also provide the video below where a real lawyer breaks down the "Cereal Defense" episode of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia". Here, we're so far down the path of stupidity that it starts being fun again.



Hopefully a "World Series Defense" episode is upcoming.

MST3K - Season 12 Trailer

The trailer for Mystery Science Theater 3000 Season 12 is out and it reveals all the movies that will be watched.


Mac and Me. So awesome.

re:View - Hackers

Jack Packard and Macaulay Culkin have an in-depth discussion of "Hackers". That's right: Jack Pack and Mac discuss Hack...ers.

Get out your keyboards, bios your motherboards and head for the garbage file - it's Hackers!


That bit towards the end had me laughing.

Game Grumps - The Grump Variations

The whole nature and structure of this is so reminiscent of classic Looney Tunes. It's so well done.



The song is the song from the first stage of 3D World Runner, by the way.

Norm Macdonald - The Real Heroes

The audio here is a bit primitive. Use headphones if you can.
