Few other actors are as good as the playing Everyman with a Twist as Simon Pegg. In Shaun of the Dead, he’s lazy…but fights zombies. In Paul, he’s an unsuccessful stoner…who becomes friends with an alien. In (the absolutely brilliant) Spaced, he’s a pop culture-referencing nerd…but, well, that’s about it. In Star Trek: Into Darkness, he plays Scotty, a normal-ish guy on a starship full of heroes…who also happens to be an engineering genius.

Without giving too much about the film away, Scotty has a much bigger role in Into Darkness than he did in 2009′s Star Trek (and yes, his alien buddy is back). In honor of this, and his career as a whole (next up: The World’s End, where he plays one of five childhood friends who reunite for a pub crawl…and then have to save the world), let’s take a look at some of Simon Pegg’s most easy to relate to GIFs.

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.

So there’s apparently this nifty site kids are using these days called Tumblr. It can’t be that great if they can’t even spell the word right, am I right? Well, the big wigs at Yahoo are desperately trying to dump their money into some venue to jumpstart their brand and it looks like Tumblr may be just the ticket. But according to GigaOM, those greedy bastards at Facebook also want in. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s pretty clear that Jimmy Kimmel is the late night king of video segments. They’re really the highlights of his show and usually one of the best parts of the entire late night on any network. Tonight, they nailed it again. Read the rest of this entry »

Oh, Canada. Rob Ford is the conservative mayor of Toronto AND a crack cocaine fan, at least according to Gawker, who received word from a tipster that the Chris Christie of the north was recently filmed smoking the cookies, the primetime, the sleet, the tornado, the blotter, the other terms I just learned here.

Gawker’s John Cook visited the Queen City to watch the video himself, and here’s what he saw.

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.

I want to enjoy something, anything in life as much as that man loves cotton candy. Earlier today, the GIF you see above made it to the front page of Reddit…and then I was introduced to the wonderful world of /r/reversegif. Things, be they people, animals, cars, or directions in life, going in reverse is just funny. It’s as simple as that. Haha, they’re doing what people do every day, but backwards. It’s wacky AND simplistically funny!

Let’s take a look at some other GIFs in reverse.

Sometimes reading a 350-page novel is just too much work. And Cliff Notes can also be a pain, what with all the summaries and indexes and character maps. Geez, why does reading have to be so HARD?! It’s like, “just give me the one-minute takeaway.” Well, thankfully some geniuses created a Book-A-Minute Classics to quickly summarize all the classics in a minute or less. Sure, most of the details are missing, but the bare essentials are there.

Got a book report to do? Flip through our visual guide for these quick summaries.

Nope. Ain’t no way, ain’t no how. Our beloved Kai wouldn’t do this to us, would he? Would he…?

Authorities in Union County have issued an arrest warrant for internet celebrity “Kai the hatchet wielding hitchhiker” in the murder of Joseph Galfy, Jr. in Clark, New Jersey.

The victim, Joseph Galfy, was found inside his home on Starlite Drive on May 13, 2013 after officers received a call to check on his well-being. An autopsy performed the following day determined that Galfy died as a result of blunt force trauma, said Union County Prosecutor Theodore J. Romankow.

Based on the investigation, authorities know that McGillvary has his hair to alter his appearance. (Via)

Didn’t happen. I refuse to believe that Kai, a homeless man who wields a hatchet and goes by four different names and has a penchant for yelling SMASH, would do something like this. Something here smells worse than, well, Kai.
