Doctor Who Opening Credits Mash-Ups

These are fun! I think the Buffy and Friends ones are probably the best put together.

Better Off Ted

Shag — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 11:45:52 +0000

Maybe everyone else has already discovered this show, but I just fell in love with Better Off Ted. It’s friggin’ hilarious!

It ran on ABC for two seasons and is now available on DVD and Netflix Instant. It’s technically a sitcom, but the writing is extremely sharp and clever, the actors are fantastic, and the production values are high. It has lots of office humor, mixed with a little mad science. It’s about the product development department for a stereotypical major corporation (meaning moneygrubbing and evil). Veridian Dynamics motto is “Money Before People”, however, they publish it in Latin so it sounds fancy. Each episode of the show features a Veridian commercial. Here is a Veridian commercial and a two minutes teaser for the first episode…

It’s got lots of humor, fun characters, and some geeky science stuff. Imagine combining The Office, Arrested Development, and Muppet Labs. That description probably isn’t spot-on, but it’s the best I could do.

Each episode is only 30 minutes, so giving it a try isn’t a huge investment. Even my wife is hooked on the show! I highly recommend it for geeks!

My thanks to SGhoul for sending this my way.

Back to the Future… or not

Y’know, it’s a pretty sad state of affairs when the future predicted in Back to the Future Part II was more creative than the real future we live in nowadays. Ugh.

My thanks to Dug from THE UNIQUE GEEK for directing me to this comic on COMIXED.com.

Here is a cute Foxtrot cartoon to get you in the spirit…

Thanks to Lore (the irredeemable brother) and his son for sending this to me!

Doctor Who explained in song by Craig Ferguson

Shag — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 11:45:28 +0000

Matt Smith recently appeared on the Craig Ferguson show. Below you’ll find the unaired musical number that was produced for the episode. It’s funny, bizarre, and a fairly accurate description of Doctor Who. This made the rounds on the interwebs a couple weeks ago, but I’m just now getting around to posting it here.

If you’re unable to view the embedded video above, please click here. This was sent to me by about a dozen people. My thanks to all of you! You know who you are.

Star Wars Shirts from TeeFury

Shag — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 11:45:58 +0000

I came across this cool t-shirt website called TeeFury! They’ve got new geeky shirts everyday, many of which are hilarious! Today I’m presenting several Star Wars themed shirts they’ve featured in the past. You can’t buy these particular shirts anymore, but they are still worth a chuckle. Here is the description of TeeFury from their website:

TeeFury is a place where you will find amazing tees at amazing prices (and occasionally other non-tee things). It’s pretty simple – one new super limited-edition tee every 24 hours for $9.

Each tee goes up for sale everyday at midnight eastern time. Once it sells out, or after 24 hours, whichever comes first, that tee is gone. And when we say, “gone”, we mean G-O-N-E – never to be sold again at TeeFury.

Click each photo for more information on the shirt, including an interview with the artist!

Alpha Flight Funnies

Shag — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 11:45:58 +0000

As some of you may remember, I’m a big Alpha Flight fan. Yes, they are the laughing stock of the Marvel superhero jet-set, but I still love them. Thanks to Rob over at The Aquaman Shrine, I stumbled across this series of Alpha Flight comic strips by James Duncan. They are hilarious! Below I’ve presented three of the nine strips he’s done so far. Visit Pitabow Comics Present for the rest of the Alpha Flight comic strips as well as numerous other funny strips!
