Stefon-themed Mad Libs

Matthew Rodriguez — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 23:32:06 +0000

One of the highlights and crowd favorites of this season's SNL was Stefon, your local guide to New York's hottest clubs. Stefon is played hilariously by Bill Hader, who despite his best efforts always breaks character in large part due to the writers making last-minute surprise changes to the script, as Bill explained to David Letterman. Well, for you fans, create your own club that Stefon would visit with these three Mad Libs.

3 Way (The Golden Rule)

Bradford Shellhammer — Mon, 23 May 2011 16:30:14 +0000

SNL got really gay this past Saturday night. Yes, Justin Timberlake hosted. Yes, Lady Gaga performed. But nothing could have prepared me for the return of the Dick In A Box singers, Timberlake and Andy Samberg. After brief cameos by Patricia Clarkson and Susan Sarandon, the pair focus on Lady Gaga. Hilarity ensues when the [...]

Top 10 songs about bad sex

Em and Lo — Thu, 06 May 2010 17:00:55 +0000

There are plenty of bad songs about sex -- and we're guessing that they're in heavy rotation when any cast member of Jersey Shore hooks up. But there are some truly excellent songs about bad sex. Here are a few lyric excerpts from some of our favorites (with thanks to our readers on Facebook and Twitter for help compiling this; although to the reader who nominated "Prostatic Fluid Asphyxiation" by Whitechapel -- er, thanks, but no thanks). Let's see if we can get up to 25, or even 100 -- put your other suggestions in the comments section below! 1. "Do You Remember the First Time" by Pulp You say you've got to go home 'Cause he's sitting on his own again this evening And I know you're gonna let him bore your pants off again Oh now it's half past eight, you'll be late You say you've never been sure Though it makes good sense for you to live together Still you bought a toy that can reach the places he never goes And now it's getting late, he's so straight

Kristin Wiig comes to primetime

Bradford Shellhammer — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 21:51:00 +0000

Kristin Wiig is Saturday Night Live’s strongest performer. She’s funny and awkward. She does impersonations effortlessly (see Bjork and Kathy Lee). And she takes skits that could be awful (Penelope, Target Lady) and makes them funny as all hell. Just check out her Bjork appearance above. There is something gay about Wiig too. She’s not [...]

Blonde heir – Madonna and Lady Gaga

Bradford Shellhammer — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 20:57:02 +0000

Unless you have been living under a rock then assuredly you have witnessed the pop culture tipping point and subsequent freaky-deaky takeover of the world by one Miss Lady Gaga. It should be noted that she's not your typical Madonna-wannabe. She's the heir apparent.

Menstrual Humor from the Stars of SPRING BREAKDOWN

Amy Poehler, Rachel Dratch and Parker Posey at the Sundance Channel Studio Saturday Night Live’s Amy Poehler and Rachel Dratch, director Ryan Shiraki, Parker Posey, Jane Lynch and Missi Pyle squeezed onto the Sundance Channel studio’s couch this afternoon, ostensibly to discuss their movie SPRING BREAKDOWN, but instead it became a game of comedic one-upmanship.

State-sponsored Sex and Stab Wounds

Kim Masters — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 19:38:55 +0000

The opening-night premiere of claymation film Mary and Max made it clear that the Festival decided to throw a curveball for its opening pitch.

Elvis Costello And Punk Rock

Alan Light — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 15:00:00 +0000

“Punk—what nonsense that was,” Elvis Costello recently said to Spin magazine. “I never really went along with the philosophical background…I’m just a songwriter. I knew older stuff and I knew newer stuff.” It’s easy to understand why, given his obvious other interests from Day One and the wide range of musical styles he would soon [...]

Impending Post-Election Depression Confession

Sundance Channel — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 17:00:00 +0000

I can think of few things in my lifetime that have been more depressing than presidential elections. But politics may be turning over a new leaf. This year there will be one thing more depressing than the presidential election, and that’s the end of the presidential election. Post-election depression is forecasted to hit the country [...]

GREEN Fashion: Can We Look Good and Feel Good?

Sundance Channel — Mon, 07 May 2007 14:00:00 +0000

This week’s topic on THE GREEN is fashion. As some of you may remember from the golden days of “Saturday Night Live”, Billy Crystal used to play a character named “Fernando”. Fernando used to comment on people’s fashion sense by stating that “it’s better to look good than to feel good”. To this day, many [...]
