I Finally Learned How To Make GIFs, Which Is Great Because It Allows Me To Eloquently Illustrate My Reaction

My Big Break | This American Life

Linking to the segment of This American Life about the husband-and-wife comedy team who got their big break on Ed Sullivan ... the same night as the Beatles' American debut ... and had to go on right before the Beatles' encore performance.

Hey, it's the anniversary of their debut, too!

Sadly, yes.

Get it?

Two thoughts:

1. Superman is a dick.

2. How the heck does Jimmy Olsen walk on those not-stilts? He's going to get some swollen ankles from that.

Goddammit Jimmy, I had a plan!

Now I love this game more than ever.

Ice Hockey - Famicom Disk System (1988, Nintendo)

I just realized that Jamie and Adam of Mythbusters ...

... both look a fair amount like Alex Sector from M.A.S.K.

Hm. Adam's beard is closer, but Jamie wouldn't have to shave his head. I doubt either of them could pull off the accent, though.

I love finding stuff like this on things I order even more when I run my finger over it, feel the indentations and realize it's original to the package.

Ian Holm, being a trooper.

If there's any prop from this movie I'd love to hear still exists, it would be the model of his head with that incredible smug grin after they unplug him.

Alien

After escaping the Village, Number Six left the spy game behind and opened a mobile tea room and cabaret to mixed reactions on the A20 motorway.

Mister Lobo doesn’t care if Godzilla is good or bad—you always love your family, even when they don’t meet your expectations or get on your nerves. Same goes for Star Wars.

I wish I had this hedgehog's moves.

A hedgehog dancing to Lily Allen’s “Fuck You.” I did it in like 10 minutes, don’t judge me.
