Punched While Eating



Who: Andy Samberg and probably Akiva Schaffer on SNL.

What: Andy locates people and punches them right as they're about to bite into whatever it is they're eating. Then it gets weird.

Karma: Hulu.com. (Stay free, guys!)

One Night Stand, by Garfunkel and Oates



Who: Garfunkel and Oates, the comedy duo that consists of the girl who played ukulele-strummin' Gooch on Scrubs and that girl who played the psycho chick in the remake of Last House on the Left.

What: Why do women only want sex? Sometimes a commitment would be nice. These girls have 206 bones in their body, but they don't seem to be content with that number.

Karma: Found by following the breadcrumb trail from It's Time to Get Laid on the front page of YouTube.

The All New Adventures of Mr. T

Meet the Beat Alls



Who: The Powerpuff Girls, courtesy of Craig McCracken

What: In my favorite episode of the series, the Powerpuff Girls are defeated by "The Beat Alls", a crime quartet consisting of Mojo Jojo, Him, Princess, and Fuzzy Lumpkins. If you enjoy the Beatles, you'll love the references.

Karma: Classic Albums, a VH1 Classic documentary series that did an episode on Lennon's Plastic Ono Band the other night.

Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism Video



Who: Someone who goes by the name of Bishop

What: If you've ever lived in Cleveland, been to Cleveland, or have heard horror stories about the situation in Cleveland, you'll appreciate this little music video that extols some of the virtues of the mistake by the lake. [Full disclosure: I lived a block from West 6th Street for 6 years. No, I can't justify why.]

Karma: Dan in Japan

Italian Spiderman



Who: Italian Spiderman, a 1960s European superhero.

What: Remember the sixties? Men were real men. You could drink, smoke, enjoy some rich foods, and women would still fall over you just because you could throw a punch. In that era, one superhero outdoes them all: Italian Spiderman. His superpowers aren't nearly as important as the fact that he insists on smoking, hitting things, and respecting women...to a degree. Only one print of Italian Spiderman survives, and it has been lovingly carved up into (so-far) ten vignettes on YouTube. This is number 4.

Karma: Bon macchiato, Ken.
