In 2008, when he was still searching for something that rhymes with “Alec Baldwin,” Kanye West filmed a pilot for HBO. Writer Larry Charles, who dresses down as Rick Rubin for Hollywood and occasionally directs movies like Borat and wrote for something called Seinfeld, explained to Coming Soon that it was Ye’s version of Curb Your Enthusiasm, which Charles also writes for. “It was really good,” he said, back in 2008, “but I think it was too hardcore for HBO. Also…HBO doesn’t have a good track record when it comes to black shows, and I felt like that may have had something to do with it also.” This was before The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency changed the TV landscape. Anyway, the show never made it to air, but footage has leaked online, in the form of an acting reel uploaded by actress Alison Quinn. It’s been on YouTube since 2008, but has only recently gone viral, thanks in no small part to Jay-Z Google’ing then tweeting “how come kanye gets to act in anchorman 2 and i don’t,” probably.

By now it's no secret that Aziz Ansari is a huge fan of hip-hop, and that he's friends with guys like Jay-Z and Kanye West, even making a cameo in the video for "Otis" off of their Watch the Throne collaboration. So I guess it was only a matter of time before some bored Photoshop wizard killed a few hours of his life doing this: Photoshopping Aziz's face into a number of iconic and popular rap album covers. On the pages that follow are a few of my favorites. I think the Nicki Minaj one tickles me the most for the sheer ridiculousness of it. Aziz as Drake comes in a close second. Enjoy.

There’s two trains of thought when it comes to sex dolls, they are either consider an unnatural (and some would say disturbing) alternative to a sexual partner, others consider them a source of comfort, companionship and even therapy for some of the societies most maligned individuals. But regardless of which side of the fence you sit on, real sex dolls just like any other commercial product (they cost around $6,000) are mass assembled along a factory line. That in itself, is somewhat of a dichotomy, knowing that an inanimate objected created in such a stark environment can then hold such influence and power within the human psyche. Gifted photographer Zackary Canepari was equally interested in the mystery and appeal of the Real Doll phenomena. That interest took him to Abyss Creations in San Marcos, California where he was allowed he access to the factory where the ‘girls’ themselves are created. His dark and brooding series ‘Love Machines’ uniquely captures a realm far removed from the inevitable suburban environments the dolls will finally call home. Through his lens & vision, he provides an evocative if disconcerting peak into an industry that is much about our most basic desires and needs, as it is about profit, enterprise and innovation. Warning: Some of the following photos may be considered NSFW.

No, no tears over here on this end while watching this latest Hope for Paws video. Nope. None. No tears. NO TEARS I TELL YOU. Oh who am I kidding. They’re streaming down my freaking face. Good luck not suffering the same fate. You’ll need it. (Thanks for the tip)

I’ve given this some thought, and I’ve come to the conclusion that this video — by an R&B(?) artist who calls herself “Ms. Voice” — might just be The Room of music videos. It’s so bad that it can’t be intentionally bad. It appears to me to be the work of people who seriously tried to make a great music video, just like Tommy Wiseau seriously tried to make a great movie with The Room (and still believes that he did!) Maybe Ms. Voice is the Tommy Wiseau of music? And maybe Tommy Wiseau directed her video?!?!?!

This could be an advertisement for 7Up, if it weren’t more than four minutes long. Here is International Master Greg Shahade playing a quick pick-up blitz game of chess against a 10-year-old … who wins in no time. Props to Shahade for displaying such good sportsmanship, and props to the little boy, Samuel Sevian, who is now an IM himself. Also props to 7Up, for its crisp, refreshing taste and apparent ability to make a person awesome at chess.

Take it from these happy hounds, when it comes to showing happiness, a simple wag of the tail is just not good enough. Instead these laughing labradoodles and pleased-as-punch pugs appear to be strapping on a big grin to let their owners know that they are happy. Sadly, it is just a trick of the camera, however, as all of the animals have been photographed upside down, giving them the appearance of having a huge smile on their faces.

You can laugh now, but because Disney now owns Star Wars, you can also be confident that you'll see these hats appear in Episode VII. Etsy seller Jessica Danker makes Mickey Mouse ears hats for all occasions.

If you rearrange a couple plot points these movies become remarkably similar. You know, except for the glaringly obvious fact that Jack dies at the end. Um, spoiler alert?

Have you ever thought about what deers dream about? Well, we asked a few of our deer friends about those dreams. It appears that they also want to be sailors and pirates, Elvis or Marylin, just like us. We made some of these dreams come true and fell in love with all of them.

Sure we all get frustrated at times and some (for reasons best known to themselves) like to vent their irritation at inanimate objects. You know the score, punching a wall, kicking a chair or slamming a door. But as you’re about to see, this next group of individuals like nothing more than to take on objects head on – the difference? These objects fight back. Prepare to witness karma in full effect.

In the early ‘90s and ‘00s there were many roles that Johnny Depp lost to other actors but these were also others that he actually passed on himself. Here are some re-imagined movie posters done by Kristy Puchko of some of the movies that he almost starred in.

If you’ve ever tried to pull off a photobomb, you probably know it’s tougher than it looks. Ruining a picture takes a lot of skill, although there are the select few who’ve already gotten it down. (See: babies, this stingray and Kevin Spacey) But we haven’t covered ‘em all. See, there’s a particular breed of picture-wreckers who are super talented in a sneaky (and hilarious) way. Ladies and gents, these are 12 of the stealthiest photobombers on the Web.

Have you got a case of The Tuesdays? You know, The Tuesdays — you’re not even halfway through the work week and already you’re dreading every day until Friday. You spent 15 minutes staring at your keyboard trying to remember the word “clairvoyant” before finally giving up and asking a high school friend on Facebook chat. You stared into the refrigerator for an unknown quantity of time before remembering that you actually got up to get something from the printer — The Tuesdays. These “derped” out animals will make you feel better. They won’t cure your case of the Tuesdays, but at least you aren’t a cat stuck in a hamster ball, amirite?

You’ve watched it a million times, but have you ever actually imagined what would be happening on the Earth depicted in the Universal Studios logo if the word “Universal” actually scrolled around the planet in giant letters the way it does before each of the company’s movies? We’d say this video is a pretty good guess. NSFW, obviously, because what do you think people say when gigantic backwards letters float across the sky for no reason? Here’s a hint: they say expletives … lots of expletives. And they scream.

Portlandia is a fantastic show. It's always good at calling out the hip trendsetters and putting them in their place. Seriously though, who hasn't met someone who claimed they were geeky because "they like Batman" or "have been playing a lot of Zelda on their brother's N64?" Please, knowingly dedicate over 80 hours of your life to a sci fi series, or find yourself killing conversations in bars because you're too into potential Justice League casting lineups, then give me a call.

Invoking the mid-90s Old West GRRRRRRRL POWER of Bad Girls and The Quick and the Dead, January Jones is trying her steady hand as a widowed gunslinger in Sweetwater (AKA Sweet Vengeance, depending on which country you’re in). Jones plays a former prostitute named Sarah Ramirez, whose husband “disappears” after a psychotic and violent religious “prophet” shows up with a plan to mold new America in his own design. In the new international trailer for Sweetwater, Jones’ hooker is also being hunted by an eccentric sheriff, played by a long-haired and flamboyant Ed Harris, while she dispatches her own vigilante justice during her Tarantino-lite mission of gun-fueled vengeance. She’s also topless, which is something I’m told people enjoy.

The NBA put together a compilation (a supercut, if you will) of the best bench reactions from the 2012-13 season, and it is full of fun and jumpkicks for the entire family. You get to see people flipping out over Chris Paul dunking, a golden treasury of Robert Sacre karate dances and at least one instance of Blake Griffin pretending to have fun. Sometimes one of the best parts of a play is the way the team’s bench reacts. Check out some of the best ones from the 2012-2013 season!

So. You may have heard that Jay-Z and Kanye West recently released new albums. Yeah, I had no idea, either, but it's true: the mentor dropped Magna Carta Holy Grail, hopefully not into a toilet (that's a cell phone joke, you see) while the student put out Yeezus. It certainly seems like you can't talk about one without the other, so in honor of the new additions to their discography, I thought now's as good a time as any to rank both Hova and Ye's studio albums, from worst to best. One note: I didn't include collaboration records, like The Best of Both Worlds or even Watch the Throne. I don't think anyone will cry foul over Unfinished Business' lack of an inclusion. Probably not even Jay-Z.

Two days after he turned 10, back in 2010, chess prodigy Samuel Sevian, a student at the U. S. Chess School, played International Master Greg Shahade in an impromptu game of speed chess. It went unexpectedly well for him as a player and amusingly well for us as his audience…

It's hard living in an apartment complex and having to deal with different neighbors. You hear them argue, you hear their music and sometimes you hear them get down. These neighbors decided to leave nice passive aggressive notes to let the people next door to them know how they are feeling about the living situation.

Here is a compilation of dogs sticking their heads out car windows set to the song “Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)” by Scatman John. Why aren’t you watching it yet? What could I possibly be saying here that is more important than that? Nothing, that’s what. Stop reading these words and scroll down. Do it. Do it now. AHHHHH YOU’RE STILL READING. WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU? Here we are, on a post-holiday Monday, and I’m trying to show you a video that will make your day (if not your whole week), but you won’t you let me help you. This self-destructive streak has to stop. Are you still seeing Dr. Berkowitz? You were doing so much better when you were. No no, don’t leave. Stay. I’m sorry for prying. It’s just that your mother and I are worried. Promise me you’ll watch the video. That’s all I ask.

So, the Villager from Nintendo’s relaxing house-decorating series Animal Crossing is going to be a fighter in the next Smash Bros. game. He’s just a tad creepy. Of course, the Smash Bros. games are only rated T, so the Villager won’t be able to get up to anything too evil. But what if the Villager was let loose in a bloody M-rated game, like say, Skyrim? Things are about to get a bit graphic folks… You know, I’m going to go way out on a limb here and say maybe Nintendo didn’t foresee the Internet’s reaction to the Animal Crossing Villager.

Listen, we’re not going to get into the whole “Miley Cyrus cultural appropriation” thing — others have already done a pretty good job with that one. We’ll just say we found a cat that is a sight better at twerking than Ms. Cyrus. In fact there’s more than one cat up to the task. And a couple of dogs. And a whole bunch of PETA protesters in animals costumes. Man, the internet is weird.
