Corey Haim: Me, Myself, and I

Vanity video produced by Corey Haim in the 90's to convince the press and potential employers that his days as a drug-addled idiot were behind him. Too bad he was clearly on drugs while producing this video.
On music:
"I'm into that funky, hip, pop, jam thing."
On love:
"What does kissing really mean to me? To me, if you feel when you kiss a girl, that certain feeling of dolphins like swimming through your bloodstream and those good tingles inside your stomach... I don't think there's anything better than kissing because it basically comes to I guess the word 'love'."

Farley


Ten years ago this night, our generation's brightest star lost his battle with coke, heroin, scotch, hookers, kielbasa, and pork ribs. Out of respect, I ask that you take some time this evening to remember Chris Farley. For me, that means drinking Olde English and youtubing "Chris Farley". For you, it may mean something different.

From wikipedia:

Attending Farley's funeral proved to be unbearable for some; most notably absent was his former SNL castmate and frequent film co-star David Spade. Spade was later quoted as saying that he did not attend Farley's funeral because he "could not be in a room where Farley was in a box."

The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins




Leonard Nemoy was never one to be outdone by Shatner. Let's all remember that. 


Scene from "The Rock", starring Nicholas Cage

Goodspeed: Sorry, we got off on the wrong foot. Let's talk music. Do you like the Elton John song, "Rocket Man"?

Captain Darrow: I don't like soft ass shit!

Goodspeed: Oh, you don't, oh. Well, I was only asking because that's you. You're the rocket man.

Captain Darrow: No!

[Goodspeed fires the rocket with Darrow right in front of it. He gets shot out of the building and gets impaled on a nearby pole.]

Sloth Puddle



I'm not sure why, but something about this sloth's swimming style is incredibly amusing to me. He looks like one of those old ladies at the pool who you think is always about to drown. He's pushing like one teaspoon of water with each stroke, bless his heart.

Barack OBollywood

Best dunk attempt ever

Thumbs Up: Episode 7



David Choe is our favorite Korean American ex-criminal genius artist. He is also our favorite daring world traveler, who has tackled trips that would make most men turn and run in terror. He's the guy who traveled deep into the jungles of the Congo on The Vice Guide to Travel DVD, for god's sake.

For the first season of his VBS series Thumbs Up!, David traveled from coast to coast across America — hitchhiking and hopping freight trains the whole way.
