The Baseball Card Vandals Made Football Cards For The NFL Season (10 photo)

Earlier this year, during my morning routine of looking for hilarious pictures and GIFs in these here cat tubes, I came across a Tumblr page that instantly became my favorite thing of 2013. That page, of course, is Baseball Card Vandals, which is still going strong, pumping out the most absurdly humorous desecrations of “worthless cards” on all the interwebs. But like any good meme, even the simplest alteration can breathe some fresh air into these lungs, and that happened on Sunday with the introduction of some new football cards in honor of the start of the 2013 NFL season. I don’t care how old I am, whether I’m living in an old folks home or accepting my nomination to be the next pope, or if the world is on the brink of a nuclear Armageddon at the hands of our cyborg cockroach overlords – if I ever don’t find the very last card in this gallery hilarious, I’m going to exile myself to the moon. Check out the rest of the football cards and the latest baseball cards at Baseball Card Vandals, follow them on Tumblr and Twitter, and check out their new shop as well.

‘Always Sunny’ Gets The ‘Cheers’ Opening Credits Treatment (1 photo + 1 video)

Official Comedy uploaded the below video last Wednesday — the day of the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia premiere — and I somehow indefensibly didn’t get around to watching it until today. I blame Rum Ham. But now that I have viewed it many, many times I can safely say it is incredible and belongs in a museum and fully endorse the show itself swapping it in for an episode. I mean, the graphics work alone. Just splendid. If you need me I’ll be turning a screengrab of Mac & Charlie at the Flyers game into my desktop wallpaper.

Trailer for Escape from Tomorrow, A Film Shot Illegally Inside Disney (1 photo + 1 video)

I’ve often thought Disneyland seems like a great place for terrifying acid trip, and that was only on Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride. I’ve never been to DisneyWorld, but the fact that it’s in Florida makes me feel confident in assuming that it’s a hall of horrors. That Disney parks are creepy seems to have been the inspiration for Randy Moore’s Escape from Tomorrow, a “surrealistic, genre-defying” thriller shot guerrilla-style inside Disneyland and Disneyworld. It’s set to hit theaters and VOD on October 11th, assuming Disney’s lawyers don’t have Moore sent to Mouschwitz before then. Disney is the nefarious monolith that gave us Miley Cyrus and history’s wussiest generation of American actors, I wouldn’t put anything past them. Incidentally, the Disney equivalent of the Aryan ideal is Zac Efron.

10 Best Music Video Dances From 2000s (11 photo)

"Hey Ya!" is 10 years old, which means Speakerboxxx/The Love Below has been out for a decade, which means you're old. André 3000's timeless ode to making you cumma was released as a single on September 9, 2003, and 10 years later, its legacy is firmly set as one of the most purely enjoyable songs of all-time. So many bar mitzvahs. Much of the song's popularity is tied into its impossibly perfect music video, which taught the word to "shake it like a Polaroid picture." In honor of Outkast's "Hey Ya!" let's take a look at 10 other classic dance moves that were popularized via music videos from the past decade. While listening to The Love Below, obviously.

6 Moving Celebrity 9/11 Stories (6 photo)

The terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, were a harrowing, heartbreaking moment in history — but they also inspired, strengthened and further united the United States in rebuilding not only the rubble, but the patriotism and spirit that define the nation. These stars all had unique experiences on 9/11. Some cheated death, some saved lives, some were moved to action. Read on, reflect and get inspired. These colors don’t run.

Unbelievable Skeletons Unearthed From The Catacombs Of Rome (13 photo)

Back in 1578 came the fascinating discovery of a network of labyrinthine tombs, lurking deep beneath the street of Rome. The tombs were home to the decayed skeletons of early Christian martyrs – believed to be saints on account of their bravery & unwavering support of Christian beliefs. Many of these skeletons (given the name ‘The Catacomb Saints’ by those who first discovered them) were then distributed across Europe (predominantly Germany) as replacements for the countless holy relics which had been smashed, stolen or destroyed during the Protestant Reformation. Once delivered, each skeleton was then clothed and adorned into a variety of precious jewels, expensive cloth, crowns, armour and even given wigs. They were put on display inside their designated churches as a reminder to all who visited, for the riches and wealth that awaited them post death – providing they swore allegiance to the Christian faith.

Jon Stewart Mocks Cables News Over Syria Coverage On 'Daily Show' (1 photo + 2 video)

Oh hey that whole WAR WAR WAR with Syria thing is still a thing that’s looming out there. It’s easy to forget about it what with Breaking Bad going HAM and the return of football and the kids twerking and that. But this morning brings a rather interesting development that may actually help to avert America having to invade another Middle Eastern country. Reports CNN: "Facing the threat of a U.S. military strike, the country’s leaders Tuesday reportedly accepted a Russian proposal to turn over its chemical weapons. The development, reported by Syrian state television and Russia’s Interfax news agency, came a day after the idea bubbled up in the wake of what appeared to be an off-the-cuff comment by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. And while U.S. officials say they remain skeptical, it quickly changed the debate in Washington from solely “Should the U.S. attack?” to “Is there a diplomatic way out of this mess?”"

Watch Mark-Paul Gosselaar Play 'Modern-Day Zack Morris' (1 photo + 2 video)

Let me begin by disclosing my biases here: I am an unabashed lover of fake mustaches. I have seen every episode of Saved by the Bell multiple times and have written thousands and thousands of words about it. I started watching Franklin & Bash semi-ironically and it has somehow ended up becoming a part of my soul. I enjoy the comedy of Paul F. Tompkins, particularly his appearances on the Comedy Bang Bang podcast. And I would very much like to drink Manhattans with Mark-Paul Gosselaar. So I am, shall we say, not impartial in regards to these videos from Paul F. Tompkins’ web series “Speakeasy,” which feature the comedian sitting down with the man behind Zack Morris and Peter Bash to knock a few back and discuss his career. The second video I posted below is getting the most play so far, because it features Gosselaar playing a few rounds of Zack Morris In 2013 and that is some pretty damn strong Internet bait, but the more straightforward interview in the first clip is really interesting, too. For example, did you know that Gosselaar attended a regular high school 30 miles outside of Los Angeles for a solid chunk of Saved by the Bell’s run? How weird must that have been for the other students? Like, you’re just sitting at your lunch table poking at your Salisbury steak with your spork and all of a sudden Zack Morris himself asks if he can join you? I would have thrown up. But I think my favorite part of the clip is when Gosselaar discusses the differences between being a teen star today and when he was on the cover of every third edition of Tiger Beat. He makes some solid points about how technology has changed the way we consume this sliver of pop culture, and, in the process, he sort of defends Justin Bieber. He also repeatedly calls him “annoying,” so it’s not the strongest defense you’ll ever hear, but still, it’s interesting to get a perspective on that situation from someone who lived through it and came out the other end a healthy, seemingly well-adjusted adult. A healthy, seemingly well-adjusted adult who owns at least one fake mustache. Let’s not forget that part.

8 Amazing Callbacks From The Final Season Of Breaking Bad (11 photo + 1 video)

A great final season of television should be like a great novel: Everything that came before should mean something. All along, Vince Gilligan’s Breaking Bad has been about great, efficient storytelling. Every element is necessary and irreplaceable. A final season should make use of all of those elements: It should be like an amazing, unpredictable, mind-blowing new song with elements of the rest of the album interwoven into the narrative. That is exactly what the final season of Breaking Bad has been so far. Everything from the previous five seasons informs this sixth season (or season 5B, if you prefer). By calling back to earlier episodes, Vince Gilligan is rewarding his audience for paying attention and, in the process, enriching those earlier episodes, which mean more now that we’re seeing how they inform the final eight episodes. I don’t know how else to say it except that all the callbacks and parallels from the last five episodes has been really f***king NEAT. I have taken the liberty of cataloging 25 of the callbacks and parallels from the first five episodes of the final season (the final season, for our purposes, is only the last eight episodes of the series). There may be more. There will no doubt be more in the final three episodes. People will probably continue to spot them for years to come. Some guy in 2016 watching the entire series for the sixth time may spot something new in “Rabid Dog” that he’s never seen before and his mind may finally explode all over his laptop. In the decades to come, people are going to look at this series as the perfect example of how to make a great, entertaining, compelling, intense and intelligent series that rewards its audience as much as it challenges it. These brilliant callbacks are just one of the many reasons why Breaking Bad will persevere.

Kate Upton Was The Star Of The U.S. Open (20 photo)

If you’re anything like me, you were completely oblivious to this weekend’s U.S. Open action, because you were busy laughing at Lane Kiffin’s coaching ineptitude on Saturday and then cursing Stevan Ridley’s stupid clumsy hands on Sunday. But if you’re a normal person who isn’t obsessed with the failure of others and fantasy football, you’re probably aware that Serena Williams won her fifth and second-consecutive U.S. Open title yesterday, while Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal will play for the men’s championship today at 5 PM ET. Much more important those inconsequential tidbits, however, is the fact that Kate Upton took in some U.S. Open action on Saturday, as she was a guest in the Moet & Chandon Suite with Karolina Kurkova. It was part of a whirlwind weekend for the 2013 Model of the Year and With Leather’s Eternal Greatest Celebrity Sports Fan in the World, as she also attended the Daily Front Row's First Fashion Media Awards. I went ahead and included some photos from that, too, because I know you care.

Paul Rudd, Paul Giamatti Have Some Trees For Sale In 'All Is Bright' (2 photo + 1 video)

I was going to include All is Bright in this week’s Pulitzer-worthy streaming and video on demand post, because it hits VOD tomorrow and I admittedly thought it looked like a typical, hokey Christmas movie, based on the typical, hokey promotional image. But the newest trailer for All is Bright reveals that it’s not all that hokey and typical, as much as it looks like a sweet, silly story of a scumbag dad trying to find a little redemption in the holiday season. Paul Giamatti stars as the aforementioned scumbag dad, and when he’s released from prison, he realizes that finding a regular job is pretty difficult in this crappy economy. Paul Rudd comes along and they decide to sell Christmas trees together in New York City, but it turns out to be harder than they expected, because they suck at it. Sort of like me and writing porn movies. Or simply writing.

Tina Fey to Host 'Saturday Night Live' Season Premiere (1 photo)

She’s back! Former ‘SNL’ head writer, ‘Weekend Update’ hostess and Sarah Palin mimic extraordinaire Tina Fey will be back on ‘Saturday Night Live,’ if only for a night. Fey is slated to host the show’s season premiere on Sept. 28 with musical guests Arcade Fire. E! Online reports that following Fey’s triumphant return is none other than Miley Cyrus, who will turn in double duty as both host and musical guest on Oct. 5. Other guests on the long-running series include Bruce Willis as host with musical guest Katy Perry, as well as a rumored double-duty performance and hosting by none other than Lady Gaga. Considering how well Gaga’s video short with Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake, ‘Three-Way,’ went, we bet the New York City native will get all the ‘Applause’ she deserves.

You Won't Have Seen Optical Illusions Quite Like These (4 photo + 3 video)

Optical illusions are notoriously a lot of fun. You might be staring at an object, move an inch to the left and witness a whole new dimension or you might glance at something in the distance only for your mind to play tricks on you. It’s one of the few forms of art that is truly interactive and personalised, we all have the capacity to perceive the world around completely separately from each other and optical illusions are a great example of that process. The Science Gallery in Dublin, Ireland is currently hosting a new exhibition dedicated to the art of deception. It’s called Illusion and includes breath-taking artworks by artists Matt Kenyon, Gregory Barsamian Roseline de Thelin & Jonty Hurwitz - all of whom were researched by a chap called Paul Gleeson who is in fact an escapologist & magician! It takes one to know one as they say. Together the artists have created a world of shifting perspectives, sensory deception and dreamlike visuals designed to excite, confuse and above all – surprise. Here’s a few examples from the exhibition for you to enjoy.

Trailer for Woody Allen and John Turturro's FADING GIGOLO (1 photo + 1 video)

Here's an entertaining trailer for a new film called Fading Gigolo, which stars Woody Allen and John Turturro. Here's where things get interesting... Allen didn't direct the movie, Turturro did, and it's very rare to get Allen to star in someone else's movie. But when you watch this trailer you'll see why Allen took the gig. This looks like a very well-scripted, funny film that audiences could enjoy. It is about a guy whose friend convinces him to become a gigolo for a little extra cash. It actually kind of feels like a Woody Allen movie, and here's the synopsis: Woody Allen plays as bookseller-turned-pimp to John Turturro's middle-aged neophyte hustler, in actor-writer-director Turturro's inspired left-field comedy. The premise is as inspired as it is absurd, and Turturro carries it off with his own affecting and surprisingly romantic vision of New York City. The film doesn’t have a U.S. release date yet, but it is set to premiere at the Toronto Film Festival this September.

SUPER MARIO BROS. Real Life Parkour Awesomeness! (1 photo + 1 video)

Mario can't seem to keep his hat on his head in this incredibly cool live-action video of him and his brother Luigi performing parkour stunts around a city. Some fun special effects have been included like fireball shooting, turtle stomping, and brick breaking. I've got to say, throwing yourself out of a parking garage window head first is a pretty ballsy move, but they pull it off gracefully in this video. Check it out!

Take a gander at his versions of Tali, Thane, Liara, Wrex, Kaiden, Mordin, Legion, and Garrus, and if you dig them, let him know on his profile page.

Awesome STAR WARS: EPISODE III Concept Art Collection (30 photo)

Star Wars: Episode III was in my opinion the best of the prequel trilogy even though Darth Vader's Frankenstein "Noooooooooooooooo!" moment was absolutely ridiculous. Concept artist Sangjun Lee has released a really cool collection of concept art from the film showing off several awesome designs done for the production of the film. Love them or hate them, the prequels still looked great visually, and the art created for it is beautiful. Check out some of it below!

12 Immortal Jack Nicholson GIFs (10 photo)

Since 2007, Jack Nicholson, one of the greatest actors of all-time, a man who once considered no amount of cocaine unsnortable and still believes no woman is unattainable, has only appeared in two movies: The Bucket List and 2010's mawkish How Do You Know. Unfortunately, the latter might be his last. According to Radar, the 76-year-old Nicholson is retiring from acting because of "memory issues." ("A redhead named Alice? Freckles? And she's pregnant? I don't recall sleeping with anyone with that name.") If true, the most magnificent of bastards has completed a filmography with at least a dozen all-time classics, including The Shining, Chinatown, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and Mars Attacks! Yeah, that's right. In honor of all the laughs, but especially GASPS he's given us, here are 12 of Jack Nicholson's greatest GIFs, all of which belong in the Movie Hall of Fame, which should be modeled to look like the Overlook Hotel.

Breaking Bad Re-Cut As A Romantic Comedy Between Walt And Jesse (1 photo + 1 video)

Is this the best serious TV drama re-cut into a man-on-man romantic comedy YouTube video I’ve ever seen? No. No it’s not. I’m pretty sure there was one that involved Jack and Sawyer with some sort of Romancing the Stone element to it. Can’t remember all the details at the moment. I guess what I’m trying to say is that while this “Breaking Bad as a Romantic Comedy” mashup is far from internet perfection, it does make for some decent lighthearted Friday afternoon fodder as we all anxiously await the next installment of Breaking Bad’s final episodes. So enjoy it for what it’s worth. Especially you, .fun fans. And at the very least it did remind me of my all-time favorite Breaking Development Tumblr post…

Italian Restaurant Leaves Best Closure Notice Ever (1 photo)

Despite its three-and-a-half star rating on Yelp, Sava! Italiano was not a success. The Amarillo, TX-based Italian restaurant recently shut down, according to a closure notice outside the building, which reads in full: "You sorry assed, rednecked sacks of goat sperm had no idea what you had here! Good luck with your pre-packaged frozen shit food in this town. Maybe you’ll remember us when you’re boning your sister and think she smells like pasta. We are off to make money in a town whose average IQ is above room temperature! CIAO!!!"

This GLaDOS Cosplay Takes The Cake (VIDEO AND PICTURES) (4 photo + 1 video)

This is a triumph. I’m making a note here: Huge Success. This is Enayla‘s homemade GLaDOS costume. Check out the interview video and more pictures below. The GlaDOS cosplay works while walking around and while hanging from some PVC pipes (as one does). She also says she had an iPod with some Portal quotes and music hooked to speakers on the back of the frame. Normally I don’t like costumes that take up a lot of space, but I’ll make an exception for getting to meet GLaDOS in real life and still be alive.

New Trailer for Keanu Reeves' Other Martial Arts Film, MAN OF TAI CHI (2 photo + 1 video)

Keanu Reeves is all about the martial arts films these days! He's got 47 Ronin coming out, which looks awesome, and then there's this Man of Tai Chi, which also looks pretty cool. Reeves not only starred in this movie, but he directed it too. It kind of has a Mortal Kombat vibe to it, especially at the end when Reeves yells out, "Finish Him!" Set in modern Beijing, the film follows the spiritual journey of a young martial artist (played by Tiger Chen) whose unparalleled Tai Chi skills land him in a highly lucrative underworld fight club. As the fights intensify, so does his will to survive. The film incorporates an innovative camera technology that helped capture the 18 fight sequences, which take up 40-minutes of the film. They used Bot & Dolly's "Iris," which is the world's most advanced robotic motion control camera system in order to capture the action up close and personal with camera moves only possible before in video games and other CG environments. Then the fight sequences in the movie were directed by renowned action choreographer Yuen Woo Ping (the Matrix Trilogy, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon). So we know those are going to be amazing. Check out whats in store for us in the trailer below!
