Breaking Bad! How did I not know how great this show is?? AMC was having a marathon of Breaking Bad beginning with the first episode, so Harry and I decided to watch and see if we liked it. And it’s awesome! It’s been all Breaking Bad all the time around here. I’m going to be sad when we catch up and we only get one a week. So, if you’re not watching, you should start, yo. -Michelle M.
A Conversation With My 12 Year Old Self: 20th Anniversary Edition. This is great. I love the condescension to himself. -Ryan
Frank Ocean‘s Bad Religion on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. I just discovered his music last week, and I’m excited to see him promote his new album with a performance of an unambiguously gay song. -Ryan
One of my favorite things this week was air conditioning! Especially in the bedroom where, coupled with a fan, I was pleasantly cool and comfortable during sleep while the world outside cooked in overnight temps in the high 80s! God bless the inventor of air conditioning! -Polt
The Rockie Mountains. They are as amazing in real life as in pictures. Granted, not as much wildlife as I’d hoped, but still an amazing sight everyone should see once in a lifetime. The 2000km round trip drive is worth it. -Tam
Earlier this week, I got something that brightened my entire week: A post card from Vancouver! I LOVE getting postcards from people when they’re on vacation and Tam is great at doing this. Just like this time. Although when she sent me one from San Francisco, it had a half-nekked guy on it. NOT that I’m complaining about this one being just a scenic landscape. nope, not at all. -Polt
And finally a video that has been making the rounds this week, it’s Paris-based electro new wave pop band The Aikiu, performing Pieces of Gold. I’ll let the (NSFW?) video speak for itself! -Adam
Craig’s Runners Up: Anticipation for the season premiere of Breaking Bad this Sunday, Tara’s sexy vamp outfit on True Blood, air conditioning, Lord of the Rings LEGOs, Amy Poehler, and Hardcore gay pornography.
On Wednesday, Mr. Sombrero and I attended a taping of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon! It was a lot of fun even though guests Taylor Kitsch and Tony Hale were a little boring. It was cool to take a peek behind the scenes … but unfortunately I can’t share any photos of the taping because cameras were not allowed. (Seriously, there were NBC pages everywhere, who were ready to strike!) So instead, here are some photos of the rest of our trip to 30 Rockefeller Center. Enjoy!
Welcome to Cocky & Rude Fight Club! The rules to the game are simple. Each week we’ll introduce our fighters. We’ll do the leg work and help you analyze their strengths and weaknesses. Then we’ll put the results to vote. You’ll pick which combatant will decimate their opponent in the knock-down, drag-out brawl of Cocky & Rude Fight Club! Let’s meet this week’s fighters…
REBECCA BLACK
Date of Birth: June 21, 1997 Place of Birth: Anaheim Hills, CA Residence: With her parents, John Jeffery Black and Georgina Marquez Kelly Relationship Status: Presumably single, possibly dating one of the boys in the video Regional Accent: Californian Auto-Tune Occupation: Singer(?) Favorite Rapper: Patrice Wilson What time do you wake up in the morning: 7AM (gotta be fresh, gotta go downstairs) Favorite Breakfast food: cereal Favorite underage driving destination: slow highways with cities in the background, parking lots, parties near trees with rainbow lighting Favorite day of the week to git down on: FRIDAY Do you look forward to the weekend?: we so excited! Which seat can you take? (Front seat or back seat): undecided (“which seat can I taaaaaakeee?”) Favorite curse word: none
Viral (pop?) star, Rebecca Black burst onto the Internet scene in March of 2011 after recording her hit song, Friday. Reportedly costing her mother a whopping $4000, the “vanity release” has since spawned countless spoofs and covers by the cast of Glee, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, The Roots and Taylor Hick, Nick Jonas, Katy Perry, Conan O’Brien and Andy Richter, and Justin Bieber. The video features an excessive use of Auto-Tune, underage driving, a whole lot of “fun, fun fun, fun, partying, partying, yeah!”, a rap interlude by co-producer Patrice Wilson, bad haircuts, a disregard for car safety, and a brace-face named Benni Cinkle. Rebecca’s weapons are numerous and include a convertible driven by minors, rainbow colored party lights, Benni Crinkle bites, and ear shattering Auto-Tuning. It should also be noted that Rebecca may or may not be able to shoot lasers from her sizable mole. Beware!
KRISTEN, “THE KID”
Also known as: Dieter Vonsnizenhauzerkrank (i can’t believe I’m admitting this) Alias: ‘Lil Meezy Date of Birth: May 28 Place of Birth: Ottawa, Canada Residence: With my mom Relationship Status: Mentally dating various celebrities Regional Accent: Canadian, eh? Occupation: Forever Unemployed Height & Weight: Not tall enough & a little too much Favorite Rapper: S-L-I-M S-H-A-D-Y What time do you wake up in the morning: Too early for any human being Favorite Breakfast food: bagels, bagels and more bagels. Favorite underage driving destination: The Bagel Shoppe Favorite day of the week to git down on: THURSDAY!!!!!!!!!!! Do you look forward to the weekend?: Only if there’s PARTYING involved Favorite place to party: The Slytherin Common Room Which seat can you take? (Front seat or back seat): Front seat. I demand riding shotgun Favorite curse word: BULLOCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Daughter of Tam (last week’s C&R Fight Clubwinner), Kristen (more commonly referred to as “The Kid”), hails from Ottawa, Canada. Like your average teen girl, “The Kid” attends school, enjoys riding a pony named Sprinkles, dreams of one day becoming a ballet dancer, and loves watching Jersey Shore(she’s seen every episode!), and The Food Network. Kristen’s favorite movies include Hitchcock’s Rope, Vertigo, Rear Window, and Psycho — so she’s clearly no stranger to murder and intrigue. It may seem like “The Kid” fights in the shadow of her mother’s battle, but don’t be fooled … she shines bright! Her secret weapons include Sprinkles the Pony (who may or may not be rabid), an endless supply of bagels (don’t let the holes fool you, they hurt when they hit you!), The Situation’s abs of steel, Snooki (who may or may not be rabid), and her favorite hockey team: the Pittsburgh Penguins. Don’t mess with Dieter Vonsnizenhauzerkrank!!!
Who will win in the battle of Friday vs. Thursday? Will Rebecca Black ignore her 2,710,134+ YouTube dislikes and Auto-Tune herself all the way to victory? Or will “The Kid” trample her opponent to death with Sprinkles the Pony? We’re putting this no-holds-barred fight to a vote. The poll will be open for approximately 24 hours, and you may vote as many times as you want. That’s right — we’re not blocking repeat votes, so vote now and vote often for your favorite Cocky & Rude Fight Club opponent.
Check back on Sunday at noon for the results!
Thanks to Kristen & Michelle M. for your assistance with this post!
There are just so many random thoughts running through my mind! It must be just another Manic Monday!
Saturday Night Live premiered over the weekend with host Amy Poehler and musical guest Katy Perry. With the addition of four new cast members and special walk-on guests Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey, Rachel Dratch, Maya Rudolph, Justin Timberlake and probably a few others that I’m forgetting, they still couldn’t manage any real LOLs. Katy didn’t sound all that great in her performance of California Gurls, but Teenage Dream sounded alright. At least she wasn’t lip-syncing. The only time I chuckled was when NY Governor Patterson showed up to spar with Fred Armisen’s Governor Patterson character. But overall, the opening of season 36 was a big, lame “Meh.” Just like all of season 35. And 34. And…
Those of you that know me know that I hate weather. I hate experiencing it, I hate talking about it, I just hate weather. But what do I hate most of all? When the stupid air pressure changes quickly and makes my head feel like it’s going to explode. On top of that, the leaves start falling and rotting … emitting mold spores that make my nose run like a faucet. I may be vegan, a recycling fanatic, obsessed with conserving water and electricity … but fuck that. Pump up the damn A/C so I can breathe! And turn it on high!
Gleepremiered last week, and it was … spectacular! The two new kids fit in well, and how great is the name: Sunshine Corazon? I only wish that Sue had interrupted Billionaire instead of Asian Gaga and Rachel’s Telephone. And how great is Dot Jones’ Coach Shannon Beiste? I laughed, I cried, and for a second … I thought it was Ken Tanaka in makeup!
American Idolofficially announced what everyone has been groaning about for months. Next season’s judges will be Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson. After all the promotion I did for Idol here at C&R, I was disappointed that they didn’t accept my suggestions of Perez Hilton, Howard Stern, Paula Abdul and Joshrico. Ridiculous, I tell you. Simply ridiculous. Is anyone even going to watch the show anymore?
I know that you don’t care, but I ate dinner at an awesome restaurant in New Hope, PA on Saturday! Sprig & Vine: Pure Vegetarian is simply awesome. I only dream of them Googling themselves, finding this mention on C&R and offering me a free dinner. Please?
Undercovers was fun, right? The new show from producer J.J. Abrams felt kind of Alias without the sci-fi aspect. Clearly there’s more going on than meets the eye … as we can tell from Major Dad‘s secret phone calls and aside comments. It should be fun … hopefully they don’t cancel it.
I also thought The Event was pretty good too, but it feels like it could quickly turn into Heroes. To much concept, not enough… good writers?
An finally, the results are in on our latest game of Have You Ever… and some of you are public restroom pervs! (Click to enlarge!)
So basically, all I can think about is television, perverse restroom behavior, and awesome food … until my head explodes. It hasn’t happened yet, but it might. What’s on your mind today? Tell me about your Manic Monday in the comments!
Ladies and Gentlemen, tonight is the night! Tonight Betty White will host Saturday Night Live on NBC. We’ve done everything that we can possibly do to remind you to watch! Here are our final favorite Betty White clips of the week. Both of these clips are from this week as Betty promotes her hosting gig.
So did we possibly miss your favorite Betty clip? Have you had enough of America’s grandmother, and just want us to shut up? Are you annoyed that I won’t stop posting Hulu clips, and you can’t view them in Canada? Sound off in the comments!
