April Fools! Our Version of CBS’s “I Get That a Lot”

“I Get That a Lot” is a new prank show from CBS premiering on April Fools Day. Celebrities (Jessica Simpson, Heidi Klum, Jeff Probst, etc.) pretend to be normal people and say “I get that a lot” when stopped by normal folk. Hahaha, get it… Jessica Simpson working a cash register…that’s crazy! C’mon, CBS, grow a set!

If the Buzz Pirates were in charge, here’s the celebrities we would have used and the situations we would have put them in:

Paris Hilton – Astrophysicist – “Hey, Dr. Hilton, did you know the core of the Sun is considered to extend from the center to about 0.2 solar radii. It has a density of up to 150,000 kg/m3 (150 times the density of water on Earth) and a temperature of close to 13,600,000 kelvins (by contrast, the surface of the Sun is around 5,800 kelvins).” Paris Hilton – “It’s Hot.” – Exactly!

Michael Vick – Professional Dog Walker – Apparently in a bankruptcy hearing the former scramblingist quarterback ever stated in his paperwork that he expects to make ten million a year… yeah, i don’t think so. In any case, he could make extra scratch post-jail as a dog walker. And by that I mean people who love their significant others but hate their pets could hire Mr. Vick for his special caring hand, and then suggest a goldfish instead of another yappy Chihuahua.

Simon Cowell, Gordon Ramsay and every other sassy British douchebags – Life Coach – A life coach helps their client determine and achieve personal goals. This is done through, among other things, constructive criticism… and no one gives uplifting advise to people who need it better then condescending, cursing douchebags Brits from reality shows…can you feel the love?

Lizzie Grubman – Tank Driver – Hey, don’t forget this lovely young lady proudly drove her Mercedes SUV in a crowd of people after being asked to move out of a fire lane. Ms. Grubman injured 16 people outside of a Hampton nightclub. She also yelled white trash at the crowd (in the Hamptons?) before backing into them. She was facing 8 years in prison and did hard time… 37 days in prison. So, since she can successfully driving into a pile of people, why not enlist her in the army and give her the keys to a real expensive utility vehicle.

Samuel L. Jackson – Librarian - He’ll be extra yelly, have trouble keeping quiet and in “Fiction” say something like…

“The path of the dewey decimel system is beset by numbers,
By the inequities of the microfiche and the tyranny of misplaced books.
Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will,
Shepards home the books he hath taken out on time,
For he is truly the checker out and owner of a library card
And I will shhh! those who talk loudly in here with vengeance and furious anger,
And those who attempt to run up large late fees
And you will know my name is the Librarian when I lay my vengeance upon you.”

Zac Efron – A heterosexual man – yep, I said it. April Fools!

Fast and Furious – The 10 Best Cars in Movie and TV History

Fast and Furious opens this week, marking the return of Vin Diesel, Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez and Paul Walker to their most well known…vehicle. The movie will be sure to feature of a host of pimped cars… in the trailer you can plainly see an Impreza, Gran Torino, Charger, M5, RS200, 240SX… these cars all well and good, but they are far from the most iconic cars in cinema and tv history. Therefore, we present the 10 best cars in movie and TV history.

10. Herbie – The Love Bug - C’mon, the anthropomorphic Volkswagen Beetle used to be kinda cool. Herbie appeared in several movies of varying degrees of quality. Besides, the car was magically alive, the only car on this list that can claim that. Go number 53!

herbie

9. Pussy Wagon – Kill Bill Vol. 1 - A super cheesy ride seemed way less cheesy with Uma Thurman’s Kung Fu warrior, “The Bride” at the wheel.

8. Trans Am – Smokey and the Bandit – There was a time when Burt Reynolds was the coolest guy in the world… you know what, he’s still pretty cool. In his Trans Am…he was a little cooler. It even made Sally Field hot.

7. James Bond’s 1964 Aston Martin DB5 – Goldfinger – James Bond has had plenty of hot cars with various features, but the Aston Martin is the James Bond classic.

6. Starsky’s Ford Torino – Starsky and Hutch - Huggy Bear be damned, the entire tv show where the car is the most memorable part? The red car with the white vector stripe was totally choice.  And who didn’t like the little red light they’d through up on top during a chase scene. Starsky and Hutch also had the grooviest theme song ever. Totally funked out.

5. Mach 5 – Speed Racer – Here he comes, here comes Speed Racer, he’s a demon on wheels… he’s a demon and he’s gonna be chasin’ after someone. He’s off and runnin so you better look alive, he’s busy revin’ up the Mach 5! I don’t car what anyone says, the Wachowski Brother’s 2008 live action Speed Racer was one of the coolest movies ever made. It looked incredible, was ultra trippy and colorful and was a major leap forward in movie making. They also brough the Mach 5 to life from the cartoon and even kept the cool “cheh cheh cheh” sound effect. Pops Racer built this awesome car. Check below to see all of the Mach 5′s special features.

4. Delorean – Back to the Future – C’mon, who didn’t want to jump in the Delorean with Doc and Michael J. Fox, keep it at 88 mph and go back to the future.

3. KITT – Knight Rider - Screw the updated series… the original KITT with David Hasselhoff was awesome. Who didn’t want to have a talking car, and hit turbo boost. I wanted to be Michael Knight. I may be alone on this one, but during the theme song when the guy starts talking and says “Knight Rider…” he sounds kind a creepy…like, why is that guy watching a little league baseball game where he doesn’t know anyone else there. He’s so breathy as he says it…I’m just saying… Oh yeah, so KITT is cool, and be careful to watch our for KARR.

2. The Batmobile – Batman – the coolest superhero car has had plenty of incarnations. Although the new Batmobile in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight was totally badass, but I’m sorry, I’m going to go for the Adam West TV series Batmobile. Its distinctive look is what a cartoonish, over the top car come to life should be.

1. General Lee – Dukes of Hazard – Yeee Haw! The coolest car where the doors didn’t open. Bo and Luke Duke’s modified Dodge Charger – the General Lee is the gold standard. Cool enough to even make a Jewboy like me wanna have a car with a racist confederate flag. I think every single time Luke got in the car he had to slide across the hood first. The car’s coolness took a hit with the crappy movie that came out a few years ago, but the General Lee remains the car I’d pick over all the others if I had my choice. Kid Rock’s got one, and trust me I get it. Bo, Luke, Daisy Duke, Cooter, Cletus, Boss Hogg, Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane and Uncle Jesse were all great, but the real star of the Dukes of Hazzard will always be the General Lee… its the greatest Car in TV/Movie history.

The Three Stooges Movie: Jim Carrey, Sean Penn and Benicio del Toro?

A Three Stooges movie is in the works and an all-star cast is shaping up to play the famous threesome.

Sean Penn has signed on to star in the film, playing Larry. Jim Carrey is in negotiations to play Curly and Benicio del Toro is rumored to be up to play the trio’s slap-stick leader, Moe. Carrey seems like a natural to be in this type of movie, but Penn and del Toro are truly inspired if not weird choices. Time will tell if this is the threesome we’ll actually see in the movie. The Three Stooges remains a well known property with devoted fans worldwide.

The movie is simply titled The Three Stooges and is slated to be released in 2010. The Farrelly Brothers are attached to write and direct the movie. The movie is not going to be a remake or a biopic, its going to be set in the present day. Still, there will have to be a good amount of the classic comedy in there. Making it relevant to today and yet hold true to the original will be a challenge. UPDATE: Sean Penn Out – Paul Giamatti in as Larry.

Cal Ripken Jr. Runs Out of Baseball Metaphors Quickly During Corporate Appearance

Middlefield, Ohio- During a corporate appearance on site at one of Flambeau, Inc.’s plastics manufacturing plants today, Hall of Famer Cal Ripken, Jr. quickly ran out of baseball metaphors during a motivational lecture.

Ripken began, “When I played for the Baltimore Orioles, I was known for strapping on the cleats for every game. But out here in the real world, you’ve got to have what it takes to hit the corporate changeup everyday. To be an MVP employee you’ve got to swing away, aim for the fences and hit a home run in your sales pitch. You’ve got to try for the grand slam, but also pepper in some singles, doubles and triples to round out your team stats. When your faced with a potential double play in the plant, you’ve got to slide hard into second and try break it up…um… much like breaking up the necessary compounds in a ratten extruder or fixing a pelletizing machine.”

The normally affable slugger, seemed somewhat out of sorts in his public speaking engagement. He continued, “when its the bottom of the ninth, and you’ve got to make you quarterly numbers, just remember that its one…two…three strikes your out of the old ball game. Phew…is it hot in here? Anybody got any peanuts or crackerjacks?”

After fumbling with a projector for a full 2 minutes, the 19-time All Star put together quite possibly the lamest power point presentation ever. Pointing to the single screen presentation, Ripken laid out “Cal’s Triple Play of Success” which was met with a serious lack of enthusiasm.

Product coordinator Meldon Kikus was on hand for the presentation. “I’ve seen this guy on TV a bunch, I figured he’d done it before. I knew he was in trouble when he cross referenced respecting the work space with the infield fly rule. At least when [NBA Hall of Famer player] Alex English came by he seemed somewhat natural. He shot three 18-millimeter silicone flange caps into an industrial waste bin and said “now that’s like slam dunking a perfect safety record,”  at last year’s plastic’s safety conference in Walla Walla.”

Things really took a turn for the worse when Ripken, while standing next to a vertical injection molding machine, a machine designed for the molding of plastic materials, said “now you see why I’m the Iron Man.” Whispers filled the manufacturing floor when it became apparent that Ripken had no idea he was actually speaking at a plastics manufacturer and not some sort of iron or steel plant. The mood became downright uncomfortable when after speaking for only 15 minutes Ripken made references to a first baseman’s mitt, Mike Boddicker, throwing a slurve and finally “making a touchdown.”

Sports motivational speech analysts have called this the worst sports motivational speech since Olympic gold medal sprinter Usain Bolt, explained at length his “challenges” and “hardships” in learning to run fast to a group of wheelchair bound children with cerebral palsy.

Check Out the British Comedy ‘The Modern Toss’ on IFC!

The Modern Toss, a British comedy that pokes fun at tedious, mind numbing jobs, premiered on IFC’s The Automat, Tuesday, March 17, at 11:00 p.m. EST. Episode clips from the season are available from IFC here. A few I’d recommend checking out:

Picture Julia Roberts: Celebrity Profile

Julia Roberts is the Pretty Woman with the 25 million dollar smile. America’s sweetheart returned this week in Duplicity with Clive Owen. She is the all time most successful actress with $2,204,631,930 earned at the box office in only 31 films. With a seemingly flawless record at the box office, Roberts was able to step aside and start a family in a seemingly healthy way.

In Duplicity two corporate spies (Owen and Roberts) team up to manipulate a corporate race to corner the market on a medical innovation that will reap riches and enable them to lead an extravagant lifestyle together.

We’ll see if this new movie gets her back into more mainstream movies, or she’ll continue to be a full time family-woman and part time actress.

Eastbound and Down Quotes – Kenny Powers Unleashed

With the season finale of Eastbound and Down on Sunday, we figured it was a good time to revisit some of our favorite quotes from our favorite show. I know we are forgetting plenty of great lines, feel free to add them to the comments. I’d also like to say that the principal has become my second favorite character in the show… he was ridiculous in the episode where they had the BBQ.

Here are some of our favorite Kenny Powers Quotes…

(When principal says that he does triathlons) “I play real sports…not trying to be the best at exercising.”

“Why is there blue shit on your face Cleg? What, did you just blow Robocop?”

“There is one vision that gives me constant happiness, your two enormous breasts.”

Principal: “And who is this lovely lady you have here with you?” Kenny: “Lovely? Her?”

“What did I tell you, put something nice on. You look like a busted Daytona stripper.”

“I’m a bulletproof tiger man!”

“Fundamentals are a crutch for the talentless”

“You’re fucking out!” (and the title of Kenny’s audio book “You’re Fucking Out, I’m Fucking In”)

“You named your daughter after fucking Titanic? Haha, what’s this one’s name…Shrek?…guess not”eastbound-down6

“What’s up, Deshauna?”

(when asked by his gym class if he was in rehab because he hurt himself) “Yeah I hurt myself….My nose” (and winks)

(After hugging April) – “Yeah girl, I’m going to have to change my pants. I’m just kidding… I didn’t cum myself”

“I’m not going to stop yelling because that would mean, I lost the fight!”

Interviewer: “So Kenny, how do you like playing in New York?” Kenny: “You mean Jew York…its fucking great.”

“I thought the blacks in Baltimore were bad, shit, they’re nothing compared to these fags you got here in San Francisco…haha”

“A Winner Is You” The Worst Video Game Dialogue (The Bottom 10)

Street Fighter IV recently hit shelves and its been a huge hit. Like many fighting games its filled with some terrible video game dialogue. Most of the time its a poor translation that leads to either funny sounding English or simply poor thought out  commentary. The following quotes are new and old, spoken or read. Some have a flawless sounding audio clip, where others have the extra static fuzz sound. Either way they are all terrible and therefore these entries make up the Top 10 Worst Video Game Dialogue ever.

10. “You can almost feel the fear, it’s tangible!” - Street Fighter IV – Street Fighter IV came recently… its a great game, but it couldn’t avoid a stupid line that’s said over and over again while the fights are going on. In addition, the game has the worst music ever with some sort of weird boy band music intro. The Street Fighter series has always had bad writing… in my mind, that’s part of the fun. Add to that list Virtual Fighter (i.e. Lion Rafael – “Do you think you can compete at that level!), King of Fighters (ridiculous yelling) and every other fighter.

9. “Aries Get” – Puzzle De Pon – Puzzle de Pon is a puzzle video game very similar in nature to Puzzle Bobble and Bust a Moove.  The game involves color coded popping of bubbles with various power ups and wacky sounds. After 3 levels are completed the player gains a zodiac sign.  Signs are then collected at various intervals. Each time it just says the zodiac sign and “get.”

8. “President Ronnie has been kidnapped by the ninjas. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue Ronnie?” – Bad Dudes. Its so bad, its good. Bad Dudes has you bare knuckle brawl your way through waves of enemies, all for the sake of saving President Regan from ninjas. When you win the game, Ronnie addresses you as “dudes.” In addition, at the completion of a level, your character pumps his fists and says, “I’m bad!”

7. “Stop. Don’t Come!” – Time Crisis – The chick tries to warn you that you are entering a trap. As you prepare to meet the boss at the end of the 2nd stage the girl you are trying to save tries to help you out with the poorest exclamation of “stop. don’t come.” The boss in a white suit reaches into his hair and says “let me entertain you!” and then pulls out several knives. Time Crisis also has one word it constantly repeats… “Action!” every time you are ready to shoot bad guys.

6. “With the Pass” – Blades of Steel (NES)- Of all the quotes that should be repeated in a hockey game over and over again… “with the pass”… really? The speech in Blades of steel is a good example of the static-sounding voice in earlier console games. Other then the call “faceoff,” “fight!” and various grunting when players skate into each other…its all “with the pass” the entire game. I actually thought it was “get the pass” until recently. Konami also butchered the national anthem at the beginning of Double Dribble (the arcade version).

5. “Victoly!” – Samurai Shodown – There were several versions of this SNK game and all of them had some level of bad engrish. At the end of each match of the earlier versions on the screen it would say “Victoly” – which in my book, is fantastic.

4. “I am error” -  Zelda II – This great statement made by the old guy who lives in a big house (which looks small from the outside) in Ruto. Turns out this was actually, well, an error as his name was supposed to be “Errol.”error

3. “You are the master of lock picking”Resident Evil - before there was endless key cards you, Jill, were the master of unlocking. There’s also the famous “you were almost a Jill Sandwich” line that everyone seems to like. The original Resident Evil has some classic bad voice acting.


2. “A Winner is You”Pro Wrestling (NES) – My personal favorite. Anytime you won a match in Pro Wrestling you could look forward to being told the obvious…its also a great thing to rub in your friends face…that douche always takes The Amazon, what with his stupid face grab. I could totally take Kin Corn Karn with Star Man… all I needed was several jumping reverse kicks. Watch out Fighter Hiyabusa…you’re next! I’ve always thought “A Winner is You” would look good on a t-shirt.

1. “All Your Base Are Belongs to Us” - Zero Wing – Could it be anything else? This entire game has tons of terrible dialogue. One of the original internet phenoms, “All your base are belong to us” can be found on bumper stickers, t-shirts, raverland, and every nook and cranny of the internet. Watch the clip below and see the entire scene which is filled with other terrible dialogue. I want to know who they got to actually say the lines like that. Its truly amazing, and the worst dialogue in the history of video game, nothing else comes close.
