Newmark's Door

A mistake avoided

Rosie O'Donnell tried out for the role of Elaine Benes on Seinfeld.

Can you imagine?

UPDATE: link fixed now. Thanks to all those who notified me.

Cool commercials

"Here Are YouTube's Most-Watched Commercials Of 2011". #1 and #2 are truly excellent.

"NBA Player Commercials". The one with Psycho T is best. 

"Stay thirsty, my friends"

An truly excellent advertising campaign: "The Fabled Tales Of The Most Interesting Man In The World".

"This Is The 'Seinfeld' Approach To Fixing Fatal Flaws"

Executive vice-president of a "leadership development consultancy" argues for George Constanza's "opposite" approach.

Really.

 

The Boys return tonight . . .

. . . so here's a review for latecomers: "Beavis And Butt-Head's Top Video Commentary".

Louis C.K. on Conan

Maybe you won't find this as funny as I do--there's no accounting for taste in humor--but you will think it is original. Guaranteed or your money back. Especially the last segment. (A bit gross, not politically correct, and NSFW.)

"'Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!' & Other Memorable TV Quotes"

Nice collection.

"Dude is method, improv, and theater of the absurd all at once"

Patrice Evans explicates T-Mo. 

Lord knows, somebody has to. (A bit of NSFW language used.)

"Here's your first look at the new Beavis And Butt-head"

The Great Cornholio will be back. (NSFW, obviously.)

"Gateways to Geekery"

If you want to read Harlan Ellison or listen to Van Morrison or read or listen or watch a bunch of other folks, but you don't know where to begin or how to proceed, the Onion AV Club's "Gateways to Geekery" might help.

(On Van, though, they should have started with It's Too Late to Stop Now. "Frequently named as one of the best live albums ever recorded.")
