Funny Or Die NBC promo video stars Kylie Minogue as She-Ra

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.

Monday Memorygasm – Tomy Waterful Ring Toss, Bobbing Bird

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

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 […]

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

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. https://twitter.com/ForeverAeon/status/332959007079817216 […]

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

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 […]

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

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”.

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

Netflix and Arrested Development ran a contest recently, having fans submit potential taglines for the poster seen below.

Memorygasm – The Lamborghini Countach Takeover

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 […]

What if The Avengers intro was done A-Team style?

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

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 […]

Let us be the first to say it – May the 4th be with you! OK, technically Star Wars Day isn’t until tomorrow, but nobody visits our site on the weekends so we had to post this a day early, and frankly, this is a topic that we should have tackled long ago (in […]
