Why '30 Rock' is Worth Your Time

Words cannot express my gratitude for all of this hard work from Eric Voss, but this graphic can help:

And why not close with one of the best tongue-in-cheek outros I've seen on network television as of late?

Mini Golf Shot of the Year

If you've ever been mini golfing with me, you'll know I like to attempt unnecessarily ridiculous shots:



This, however, is the best shot I've ever seen:

Un Tour de Manege

Thanks to Walbridge for this one. Brilliant, beautiful, and captivating. I'm no artist, nor am I any type of art critic, but I'm going to go with Jesus Diaz on this one:

"In a world where every film studio is striving to make the most realistic 3D animation, I love to see that somebody is actually playing with texture and color and shape, getting closer to traditional media instead of chasing the absolute perfection of hyperrealism."

D.C. Douglas Hits Back at Freedom Works

So, in case you missed it, Geico's voice-over guy, D.C Douglas (no, not the gecko, but the voice that says, "15 minutes could save you 15 percent on your car insurance!"), had some drinks, picked up his phone, and drunk dialed Freedom Works.

After a back and forth on YouTube and Fox News, Douglas finally produced this video conveniently summarizing everything hilarious, hypocritical, and bass-akwards about the Tea Party:

Lewis Black on Glenn Beck's...Hypocrisy?

No way!

Although as Jess aptly said, "Looks like Lewis Black is about to have a stroke," he still nails the point home so damn well.

Best line:

Here's what you do, and take it from me, my people have been through this before. First, you gotta find an attic. Then, hide there for the next three years, and whatever you do, don't make a sound! We'll let you know when it's safe to come out!

Waiting for 'Superman'

I'm not sure how I feel about merit pay, unions, seniority-based tenure, and standardized testing, but I sure as hell know we need reform.

This is why:

It's a-me, Mario, pulling at your heartstrings!

Or maybe that's Sigur Ros. Either way, a heartwarming little homage to one of the most beloved video game characters:

Summing up the year that was in pop music

DJ Earworm has a knack for splicing together catchy remixes of Billboard's top songs of the year.

No legs? No problem: professional skier, photographer, and skateboarder...at 24 years old.
