Once Upon a Geek

From Funny or Die, here is Stan Lee’s bid for the Oscars…

Last August when John Hughes passed away, artist Cliff Chiang did a brilliant The Breakfast Club mash-up with the Teen Titans.  See below.

“Dear Batman: We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in Bat-detention for whatever it is we did wrong, but we think you’re crazy for making us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us: in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is an archer, and a speedster, and a swimmer, a princess, and an acrobat. Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, The Teen Titans.”

That is pure genius!  I think it’s especially funny that Aqualad is the whiny Anthony Michael Hall character!  You can find a few more superhero/80s album art mash-ups from Cliff Chiang on Comics Alliance.  My thanks to Ed for directing me to these images.

I received this Batman: The Brave and the Bold Valentine from my good friend E. Peterman over at the Girls-Gone-Geek blog.

The printed Valentine itself is cool (it comes with a sticker!), however, it’s E’s own special additions which make it hilarious! I love me some Aquaman, but I still find this outrageously funny. I can even hear Diedrich Bader (the voice of Batman) say that line in my head!  Thanks E!

Thanks for sticking with me this week while I’m on vacation.  Here are a few more Star Wars Motivational Posters to reward you.

Here’s one I made up myself…

Howdy folks!  I’m on vacation all this week cruising around the Eastern Caribbean.  Instead of just abandoning the blog all week, I’ll be running one picture a day.  Since the Star Wars Motivational Posters were so popular last week, I’ll be giving you more this week.

My thanks to Serv for the content suggestion!

Surprisingly, the SNL skit MacGruber (a parody of the TV series MacGyver) has been turned into a feature film.  I enjoyed the skit for what it was (click here for my favorite MacGruber), but I’m not entirely sure there is enough to carry a feature film.  Below you will find the red-band trailer.  In other words, “Not Safe for Work”. Even if the movie stinks, the trailer is pretty funny.

I’ve come across some great motivational posters over the years, but these Star Wars ones are some of my favorites.
