The 1966 Pro Bowl Halftime Show Featured A Goose-Stepping Swastika Being Eaten By A Church
If you’re unversed on decades-old Pro Bowls, you’d be forgiven for thinking Fall Out Boy’s 2014 performance was the most offensive halftime show in the history of the NFL’s all-star game. But no! The 1967 Pro Bowl “The Taming Of The West” halftime show featured a tribute to Indian massacres, as note...
Coldplay Are Playing The Super Bowl Halftime Show, And LOL, You're Gonna Love It
Look, I’ll just tell you exactly how this is gonna go down. So Super Bowl Sunday 2016, it’ll be Panthers-Patriots, obviously, and when halftime comes around, the Panthers will be up, oh, let’s say between 60 and 80 points, and then Coldplay will do a little set. ...
Good Sketch

David Cross Parodies "Know Your Rights" Videos With Keegan-Michael Key
In preview of David Cross and Bob Odenkirk’s new Netflix sketch series With Bob and David, they’ve released a clip which parodies the “Know Your Rights” videos. If you haven’t seen them, the series is a YouTube staple that features various ways with which to engage with law enforcement, and are ofte...
Here's What Happened Last Time Chris Rock Hosted The Oscars
Chris Rock will host the 2016 Oscars, which gives us hope for a brighter, less boring award-show future. The last time he was on duty was 2005, and he did a pretty bang-up job. He was also much meaner than you probably remember....
That Troy Tulowitzki Ejection Sure Was Strange
MLB is lucky last night’s Royals-Blue Jays game was a victory for the Jays, because if the Royals had pulled ahead late and Troy Tulowitzki hadn’t been there to bat in the bottom of the ninth, all of Canada would be calling for home plate umpire John Hirschbeck’s head....
Kyle Schwarber Was Once A High School Show Choir Stud
Cubs rookie Kyle Schwarber is now best known as the guy who mashed a tater onto the top of the Wrigley Field video board, but socking prodigious dingers isn’t his only skill. Back when Schwarber was a student at Middletown High in Ohio, he was a key member of the school’s award-winning show choir....
Let's Relive The Time Sean Casey Got Thrown Out At First From Left Field
For no particular reason, former ballplayer Sean Casey went on the Dan Patrick Show today and talked about the time he got thrown out at first on a ball he hit to left field. We don’t really need a reason to relive this play, though, because it was a truly great moment in baseball history, and Casey...

Here's Trevor Noah's First <i>Daily Show </i>Monologue, Which Totally Didn't Suck
You only watch a late-night talk show in full, on actual television, at the appointed hour, twice: the host’s first episode, and his last. So say hello to Trevor Noah, your new Daily Show host, who awkwardly plows right through his inaugural applause and Just Gets On With It. He was okay! This is go...
Madison Bumgarner Had An Endless, Awkward Staredown With Umpire Joe West
You know Joe West. Of course you know Joe West, because West is the only MLB umpire who thinks you’re there to see him instead of the game. Picking fights, escalating confrontations, offering opinions when none are asked for, and ejecting West craves being the center of attention, and wants nothing ...
Neutering Is Not The Worst Thing That Ever Happened To This Bichon
There’s been quite a kerfluffle in Minnesota over this second-best Bichon of 2011 and 2012, Beau Lemon. The dog’s owner, John Wangsness, sued breeder Vickie Halstead, claiming that instead of having the decorated dog bred, she had the dog neutered....
Classic Man: "Women Should Take Baths"
Frequently in this space, we will consult a different entry in the 1987 book The Modern Man’s Guide to Life to see how the advice therein has aged. On Monday, we covered the art of bribery; today, we’re talking about chicks and baths....
Mel Brooks Says This Is The Funniest Man In The World
Really enjoyed reprinting Harry Stein’s 1976 Esquire profile of Harry Ritz. Dig in....
The <i>Wet Hot American Summer</i> Prequel Loves Jokes, Hates Plots, And Is Perfect
It’s kind of crazy that Netflix ever green-lit Wet Hot American Summer: First Day Of Camp, to begin with. The eight-episode mini-series acts as a prequel to the 2001 film Wet Hot American Summer: Last Day Of Camp which, after making squat at the box office, ended up becoming a minor cult classic tha...
Colbert Brings Jon Stewart To Tears With Correspondents' Farewell
The first 25+ minutes of tonight’s final Daily Show with Jon Stewart featured the full gallery of correspondents during Stewart’s 16 years at the show’s helm, many of whom graduated from the program to become stars in their own right. But no star shone brighter than Stephen Colbert, whose celebratio...
Adios, Sucker: A Conservative Bids A Mostly Fond Adieu To Jon Stewart
Jon Stewart’s last episode of The Daily Show is tonight, and everyone promises to miss him, even if, like me, they stopped watching him religiously years ago. It wasn’t too long after he made his mawkish 2004 plea to Tucker Carlson and Paul Begala to “stop hurting America”—and, as a result, became t...
Seth Rollins Helps Jon Stewart Present All His Fake Arby's Slogans
Longtime viewers of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart know that Arby’s is one of the program’s most frequent targets. Tonight’s program featured a supercut of Stewart’s fake endorsements, many of which were for that very fast food chain—and the whole segment features WWE champ Seth Rollins...for some ...
Gronks Appear On Family Feud, Immediately Lose
Patriots tight end and erotica protagonist Rob Gronkowski appeared last night on ABC’s Family Feud with three of his brothers and his dad, facing off against Holly Robinson Peete’s family. It did not go well for the Gronks....
