Greetings, folks. If you’re regular FilmDrunk reader, you’ve probably seen the name “Robopanda” on occasion. He’s been feeding me tips and filling in when I go off the wagon on vacation pretty much since the beginning. Uproxx thought, “Hey, why not give him his own site?” And then we all beat each other about the genitals with a fish, a traditional celebration of the Uproxx people.
Robopanda’s site is called Gamma Squad (gammasquad.uproxx.com) and you can go there for all things geeky, gadgety, comic booky, and sci fiiiiiaaaaaah! I have no doubt he’ll be finding all the best crap on the internet and serving it up as only RoboPanda can — i.e., soaked in windowpane acid. I only ask that after you check Gamma Squad every day, you still come back to FilmDrunk and shoot the sh-t with the old gang. Please? Daddy can’t go back to working an office job, I burned those bridges a long, long time ago. Torched ‘em good, I did.
Welcome to another installment of Comments of the Week. Living up to the funny you brought last week is going to be tough, so when you’re struggling with a joke or stretching for a pun, just remember: Spock is watching. As always, nominate for next week in the comments section of this post.
Starting with Nic Cage humor, from the NIC CAGE LOOKS LIKE THE SAW GUY post, DeFrank nails his audition for Bad Lieutenant tagline writer:
DeFrank says: With a head this big, it’s easy to lose your mind.
(We make Ufford wear the Spock ears)
Folks, I’m not going to BS you or whine about needing some time off because let’s face it, I photoshop Paula Abdul on top of Mexicans for a living. Digging ditches it ain’t. However, it is my duty to inform you that I will be sampling foreign booze and going to “museums” for the next few days. And yes, those quotation marks were meant to indicate Finnish prostitutes. They have those, right? Oh God I should’ve done more research, this is going to be the worst vacation ever!
Until I return, enjoy the comedy stylings of two people with whom you should already be semi-familiar, Chodin, man-child extraordinaire and master of penis and pantomime humor, and RoboPanda, some time contributor and finder of about 86% of the funny videos I post. They’re long time FilmDrunkards from way back and multiple comments of the week winners, so they should have a good grasp on what gets the party started around here. So be good, and love them like the stepfather who you don’t love quite as much as your real dad but tolerate because he lets you drink in the basement. And don’t even think about not running up to my car with open arms when I come home to visit or I’ll belt you so hard you’ll wish you didn’t even have an ass. (Sorry, threats of violence are how I express affection).
PS - You may also have noticed that we have a “Recent Comments” link in the sidebar again… so that’s pretty cool.
Friday Free For All is that time of the week when I post videos that may or may not be timely, newsworthy, or relevant. Because only your mom works hard on Friday. Send your tips to lance@filmdrunk.com.
Today’s Friday Free for All video comes courtesy of my unpaid research assistant RoboPanda. It’s by a gentleman who goes by the name of “Ze Frank,” who demonstrates a very cool and simple optical illusion. Another trick he has is to turn me into a 12-year-old whenever I watch this. I like it when girls hump my finger. Even if they don’t.
This week’s comments of the week winner gets PUNISHER: WAR ZONE on DVD, which hits stores March 17th (as does the fancy ass blue-ray, your highness). Patton Oswalt says, “PUNISHER: WAR ZONE is THE BEST time I’ve had at the movies this year,” which is all the endorsement I need. I’d eat a cat turd if Patton dared me to.
As always, the way this works is, when you read a comment you think worthy of recognition, YOU nominate it by copy and pasting it in the comments section of this post (along with a link to that post, pretty please). Then, the following Sunday/Monday, I’LL pick the winner from among the nominees. The winner gets a sweet prize. (FYI, the nomination thread is always linked in the ABOUT section).
Let’s begin the runners-up rundown, shall we? From ECONOMIC DOWNTURN CAUSES BLINGYNESS DECLINE:
