Here’s Your New Favorite Tyrion Moment On ‘Game Of Thrones’

Joffrey Baratheon: Terrible king, worse replacement father of the bride. And for those of us (i.e. everyone) who can’t get enough of him getting his comeuppance, Tyrion once again (in the face of all new levels of drunkenness) stole tonight’s episode of Game of Thrones with an epic rebuttal of The King’s scheming. Spoiler alert: knife threatening stare down techniques were involved.

Josh will of course be here will your full Game of Thrones recap tomorrow morning, but until then let’s re-live that satisfying moment over and over until way better GIFs are available (I’ll update, swear).

OK, Seriously, Who The F*ck Is Bob Benson?

05.17.13 Written by Maske

Dustin has spent the week obsessing over the significance of Room 503 and the show as a whole, but ever since this past Sunday’s episode my Mad Men curiosity has been solely focused on one thing: Who the f*ck is Bob Benson? Seriously. Now I really want to know. This Twitter profile is pretty good, but it doesn’t tell the whole story.

Matt Weiner has expertly built intrigue over the first half of the season, inserting that grinning, gradually loveable kissass at just the right moments to make it impossible for even the most obtuse observer to avoid asking: Seriously, what’s his deal?

Theories abound. I’m sure many of you have your own. My personal hypothesis is that Weiner was a huge Lone Star fan and is just f*cking with everyone to his own amusement. There will be no payoff. This theory sucks. And I’m sure all of yours are better. So let’s put it to a poll and a discussion on a slow Friday afternoon, shall we? Maybe we can will ourselves to a resolution Sunday night.

The PornHub Inspired High School Prom Shirt Finally Happened

05.17.13 Written by Maske

I didn’t even realize it was prom season because — much like Don Draper in Room 503 — I don’t let the high school girls I buy beer for talk about their personal lives, but just a bit ago a presumably teenage Redditor shared the above image (full below) adding, “So this is my school’s prom t-shirt…”

The Redditor in question hasn’t revealed where he attends high school, but he has answered several questions in the thread, and I have to say my well-honed FAKE detector isn’t sniffing bullsh*t yet. So I choose to believe this is an actual shirt made by an actual prom committee at an actual high school in the US of A.

Are there plenty of questions to be answered? Of course. The best theory thus far is that it made it this far because faculty members keep waiting for someone else to admit they get the reference. The important thing is that high school prom promotional tanktops parodying popular porn websites is what I want to be writing about on a Friday.

The Internet Re-Created A Bunch Of Classic Paintings With Modern Celebrities

Worth 1000 kicked off a contest a few months back challenging their community to expertly insert film and television personalities into classic paintings, and in response photoshop wizards with an appreciation for modern pop culture and famous artwork alike rose up across the world wide web to participate.

The entries have just been released and you can check out the top sixty-plus as voted by someone here. And yes — because I know you’re going to ask — Taylor Swift does have two entries in the top ten.

Screw what other people think. Here are a handful I thought you guys would enjoy most, beginning with a well-timed interpretation of Steve Carell. I wonder how many strokes it took.

The Infinite Wisdom Of Creed Bratton, Just In Time For ‘The Office’ Series Finale

05.16.13 Written by Maske

As Josh has already thoroughly outlined, it’s going to be an undeniably emotional series finale to The Office tonight. So before we collectively dive in this evening I’d like to pay tribute to the one consistently magnificent character on the show: Creed Bratton.

The thing that will hurt most as The Office departs our lives forever is not the later stage mismanagement of a show that could have gone down as a top ten all-time sitcom, it’s the knowledge that I still have so much to learn from Dunder Mifflin’s Quality Assurance Director.

Alas, at least we have many previous pearls of wisdom to forever let marinate inside our brains. Here’s a collection I like to think of this as the next best thing to an active www.creedthoughts.gov.www/creedthoughts.

The 12 Best Tobias Fünke ‘Insert Me Anywhere’ Photoshops, GIFs, And Videos Thus Far

Written by Maske
[image]

It’s been just over twenty-four hours since Ron Howard, Dr. Tobias Fünke, and the Arrested Development team unleashed InsertMeAnywhere.biz on the internet, forever altering the “Tobias+Funke” Tumblr tag and how we think about mangos.

As an early celebrator of all things Insert Me Anywhere, I feel it’s my duty to follow up with some of the best inserting anywhere the internet has to offer a day later. With the ruthless clinical objectivity of a seasoned analrapist I’ve trimmed this down to a manageable number, with several contributions by UPROXX commenters (like Cuneform’s masterpiece above) making the cut. It helps that censors prohibited me from including Tobias’s involvement in the NSFW Theon scene from last week’s GOT.

And now to prematurely shoot our wads on what was supposed to be a dry run, if you will.

News broke this morning that Bill Hader is leaving Saturday Night Live after this weekend’s finale. And while we’ll all certainly miss his stellar talent, consistency, and forever endearing breaks, this is reason for celebration. Hader is above overstaying his welcome and should be pursuing the next stage of his sure-to-be fruitful career.

With that in mind I’ve compiled the ten definitive Stefon nightlife description GIFs the internet has to offer to pay small tribute to the man’s tenure at SNL. What’s that? You somehow never caught the full definition of a “human suitcase”? Well today is your lucky day, my friend.

Honorable mention here. Above via. Disclaimer: This collection is in no way definitive.

Game Of Lulz: The Internet’s Best Reactions To Sunday’s ‘Game Of Thrones’

05.14.13 Written by Maske

Ever since The Surly Badger tipped me off to the r/GOT album I’ve found a little too much enjoyment checking in early in the week to see how the most recent Game of Thrones has been interpreted by the internet. Today they had me at “B*tches love windmills” and that felt like enough of a sign that I should share some of the glorious lulziness with you guys as a lighthearted compliment to our real talk episode discussion.

Let’s get all windmill related giggles out of the way first, shall we? Above via.
