Home Depot TV spot


1. [Hear group laughter and chatter as footsteps walk down stairs]

2.  [All noise stops abruptly as Randy and two guys see the room. A chip falls from Randy's mouth]

Randy (through mouthful of chips): Gary man, what is this?

3.  [Gary pushes his way into the room to face the group]

Gary: What is what? It's the new man cave!

[Gary’s arms open wide revealing the baby blue man cave behind him]

Guy 1: Wasn’t this the color of your prom dress Gary?

Guy 1: (sighs from laughing) Yeah we’re out of here.

[Group turns and heads up stairs]

Gary: Really guys? Randy!
 
7.  [Gary puts hand out to stop Randy who’s last to leave] 

Gary: C’mon man. It’s just paint.

Randy: Dude I can’t. [Looks back at room] It’d be like sitting in a tampon box.

Best croquet fight ever


You can't SCRIPT crazy this good! I know it's shows like this that are the downfall of our society but the MINUTE that girl's body was thrown rag-doll-style onto the lawn, I was sold.

Careerbuilder 2011 Super Bowl Ad "Parking Lot"



I know I'm two weeks too late to be posting a Superbowl commercial but I'm tired of hearing about Eminem and his silly Chrysler so I'm retaliating with this gem. My favorite part is strangely when the poor guy yells "Ron!" at the end. I don't know why but it gets me every time.

    Perfect Couples - Sneak Peek


    If you're doing nothing with your life on Thursdays at 8:30/7:30c, I suggest you tune in to this little gem on NBC.  You'll laugh, you'll cry and (fingers crossed) you'll keep it from getting canceled before it finds an audience.

    Our house (in the middle of our street)

    Our House

    I love our house. 

    You asked me once, "do you care if we move?"
    Stupidly I said I didn’t.
    But when you toured that traitorous house on the lake,
    A part of me was hurt.

    You see I’ve always loved our house.
    Before the remodel,
    After the remodel,
    Green door,
    Red door,
    Dangerously steep driveway or flat.

    It’s taken many forms over 18 years,
    But what I love never changes.

    The stairway is still where the dogs sleep,
    On guard but not really.
    It’s where unclaimed laundry piles up,
    And painful slips occur.

    The living room belongs to our Christmas tree.
    Wilted by ornaments,
    Set ablaze by tinsel,
    Surrounded by those couches you despise so much, 
    But wouldn’t dare remove.

    The dining room is fancy but not overly so.
    It’s where extended family laughs,
    Blue ribbon paella is served,
    And puzzles come together.

    The family room is exactly that;
    Where TV is inhaled and crosswords conquered,
    Sports teams are worshiped and ruthlessly jeered. 
    Where blankets and remotes are hot commodities,
    And catnaps turn to comas. 

    The kitchen houses more than just our meals.
    It’s been the site of bake-offs and Super Bowls,
    Board games and Heimlich maneuvers.
    It’s where the day’s events are discussed and analyzed,
    Over a table made from scratch.

    The bonus room is nobody’s bitch.
    It’s where the DVR is caged,
    Movies meet reverence or verbal assault,
    And wars are settled over ping-pong.

    I'd go on,
    But I’ll stop there,
    Because for all the things I love about our house,
    The best is that it always feels like home.

    Now and then


    Today I found out what I loved then about this movie, I still love now.

    If you were once a twelve-year-old girl and HAVEN'T seen this movie, I'd remedy that shit real quick and get yourself a copy.

    If you're like me, you'll spend 80% of it wishing your childhood involved graveyard seances, neighborhood rivalries and Schwinn bike trips.  10% lip syncing songs like "Sugar, Sugar" and "I'll be there."  5% reminiscing about how sexy you thought Devon Sawa was circa 1995.  4% googling "Devon Sawa" and the last 1% envisioning the look of disappointment on Christina Ricci's face when they cast Rosie O'Donnell as her character's older self.
