News Anchor Schools Internet Bully on Live TV
A CBS news anchor and reporter from Wisconsin decided she wasn't going to let a bully make her feel bad. Then she turned the tables on him and pointed out to the world that he's a gigantic doofus on air. Jennifer Livingston: 1, Internet Jerk: 0.
Happy Birthday, ‘Peanuts’! Celebrate With Our Favorite GIFs
It was on this day 62 years ago that the first 'Peanuts' comic strip was published. Instead of humiliating Charlie Brown for his birthday, we thought we'd share some funny/cute/sadorable animated GIFs. Warning: like 'Peanuts,' they can be a little dark, because snow can be awfully depressing.
Grumpy English Mastiff Will Not Get Out of Bed
We think grumpy dogs are super-adorable -- it's just that dogs this big don't usually fall into the "precious" category.
Meet ‘Grumpy Cat,’ the Web’s Unhappiest Kitty
You guys, Grumpy Cat is definitely real. And she plays. Sort of. When Grumpy Cat "plays" she mostly just scowls at the camera and then hides under things, but still. Grumpy Cat became an internet sensation pretty much as soon as people saw her grumpy face on Reddit. Here's some video and some excellent memes 'Tard' (short for Tartar Sauce) the cat has inspired.
Giant Gorillas Fascinated by Tiny Caterpillar
The nice part about being a gorilla in a zoo is that you're safe from poachers. OH! And the first time you see a caterpillar is going to be freaking awesome, because you don't really get out very much.
Crazy Squirrel Goes on Kitchen Rampage
We're glad this guy's instinct when he found a squirrel in his kitchen was to grab a camera and record it, rather than grab a broom and start screaming. The squirrel seems pretty panicked (what squirrel doesn't?), but maybe it was just gathering up speed for what might be the greatest escape in the history of animals trapped in kitchens...
The Best Moments From the 2012 Emmys
If you cut about 90% or so out of last night's Emmy Awards, they were actually pretty entertaining. Here's a recap of the entertaining stuff that happened, or, as we like to call it, the "good version" of last night's awards ceremony.
Amy Poehler Nails Karaoke Roulette on ‘Ellen’
Amy Poehler just keeps on giving us more reasons to love her. For example, now we know that she has somehow managed to avoid learning the words to 'Bad Romance,' which is truly, truly admirable. Thank you, Ellen, for giving us this little gem to light up our day...
‘Gangnam Style’ Sets World Record for Most Liked YouTube Video
"The song is characterized by its strongly addictive beats and lyrics, and is thus certain to penetrate the foundations of modern philosophy." That's the description of this video on YouTube. And they might be right -- Psy's 'Gangnam Style' has just set the Guinness world record for the most liked video on YouTube -- 2...
Watch Some Adorable Katie Couric Bloopers
Katie Couric's new daytime show, 'Katie,' starts today. Maybe if we get all of this out of our systems, she'll have a smooth run. Or maybe it will just be wacky zoom city all over the place. Either way, sounds entertaining to us. Hopefully there won't be as many swear words as there are in some of these bloopers we found. Although, again, either way sounds entertaining to us.
‘A Christmas Story 2′ Trailer Will Ruin Your Childhood Memories
Well, it's finally happened. In the age of reboots, remakes, and unwanted sequels, they have finally touched what we assumed everyone tacitly agreed was untouchable -- 'A Christmas Story.' Just in time for this Christmas (naturally) an "official sequel" is being released straight to DVD and Blu-Ray in a handy-dandy package with the original. It looks terrible.
