Monday Memorygasm – “He-Man Smells Trouble”

in Funny, Memorygasms

The “trouble” He-Man is smelling in this 1985 Golden Book is a skunk-man who smells so pervasively of ass that he has to wear a special mask to filter out his own wretched stench. His name pretty much sums up how I feel about the entire MOTU franchise: Stinkor. Animals flee before him! Birds fall choking from [...]

by Howard Decker on May 17, 2013

I used to publish a daily post called the Scoop of the Day (it was “The Daily Scoop” until I realized I had recklessly stolen that title from our friend Dex). As you see, I changed it to something vastly different and near-unrecognizable. The nice thing about The Scoop was that it gave me a [...]

The discussion on this episode of the podcast was supposed to center around a topic near and dear to our hearts: the internet. It did. But there are definitely some surprises, as Corey, Joe, Howie and Tank go WAY off the rails as usual. If you’re 3 minutes in and you think you’ve discovered the [...]

With “upfronts week” upon us, the major television networks are trimming the fat (rightly so or otherwise) and foisting new (and revived) shows upon us for next season. If you’re interested in TV cancellations and new show announcements, read more about it here. As interesting as it is to speculate as to which shows will [...]

Many people debate about what exactly makes a great movie. Some people feel the director deserves all the praise. Some say it’s the writer who came up with the story to begin with, and others (such as me) believe that the actors are the ones who bring the film to life. A great movie consists [...]

This time he’s back with an Indiana Jones inspired piece called Indy Art. The piece will be on display at Bottleneck Gallery until May 26, where the theme of the [...]

On the heels of DC Comics’ announcement that He-Man and the Masters of the Universe will once more face off against DC’s mightiest heroes, Funny Or Die has released this parody NBC video announcing She-Ra (“starring” Kylie Minogue) as a new show on their schedule. Gotta say, “She-Ra Weintraub” is still a better alias than [...]

Seeing this picture instantly takes me back to the early 80s. My grandparents (like many other kids’ grandparents) moved to Florida after they retired. When I’d go visit them with my mom and dad, they always had a few toys like this one laying around in the garage. I’d spend hours pumpin’ that button trying [...]

One thing I’ve noticed since I began blogging and podcasting: people will go out of their way to tell you they don’t care about you and your opinions. That’s what makes Michael Ian Black’s response to one of the first (of many) who jumped on him for tweeting a Dos Equis-sponsored message so great. @michaelianblack [...]

If you’ve spent any time on this website you know I love the Golden Girls and action figures as much as trolls love Ritz Bitz and hate speech. Put those two things together and you’ve got my attention, which is how I stumbled upon the YouTube video below. Check it out, and join me in [...]

You know how much we love lists here at UnderScoopFire. So I brainstormed and tried to find a list no one has covered. I scoured the interwebs and came up with nothing. Seriously, take my word for it. The internet is barren. You won’t find anything. Moving on… This particular list has to do with [...]

Thumbnail image for The 10 Hottest Actresses You’ve Never Heard Of

When we released our 100 Sexiest Women on Television list, there was some backlash (see: Nicki Minaj), however a primary source of this was many readers never having heard of the actress who was #1 on our list. With that in mind, we realized that there are plenty of super-hot actresses out there who just [...]

The Island is back! The video for Lonely Island’s new Spring Break Anthem begins with an episode of Zack Galifianakis’ brilliant Between Two Ferns, with his guest being James “Franko”. After the music video begins however, it takes about as sharp a left turn as 2009′s ‘Dream Girl’, in which Norah Jones went from singing about [...]

Netflix and Arrested Development ran a contest recently, having fans submit potential taglines for the poster seen below. There were some great entries (that can be seen on their Facebook page), but none so perfectly captured the feel of the almost-moment combined with an in-joke quite like this one: Some honorable mentions include: “The Mother(boy) [...]

Check out this “Girls of Greyskull” album showcasing the lovely ladies of Masters of the Universe.

Thor has always been one of the heavy hitters of ancient mythology (I suppose the hammer helps with that) and thanks to Hollywood, Marvel comics, Kenneth Brannaghand Chris Hemsworth’s recent portrayal he’s now a household name in the modern era. Hollywood has perhaps understandably given Thor quite a makeover for his 21st Century iteration. Norse [...]

The Lamborghini Countach was an Italian “supercar” produced from 1974-1990. Sports Car International placed it #3 on their list of Top Sports Cars of the 1970s, and it clocked in at #10 on their Top Sports Cars of the 1980s list, but somewhere around 1984 it became #1 in every American boy’s heart. Exotic sports cars had always been a [...]

I love it when a mashup comes together. As far as sci-fi juggernaut + 80s TV theme mashups go, this Avengers + The A-Team intro is as good as (if not better than) the Star Wars/Magnum P.I. one from 2009 (Han Solo, P.I.) Can somebody get on a Thor/Fall Guy for me? What other good [...]
