Planet fitness has one of my favorite commercials. It’s the one where 3 ridiculously stupid hot women stand around in the locker room telling each other how hot they are, while the “normal” girl just has to sit there and watch. They end with the tagline – Don’t Be A Lunkhead.
Well I just ran across a video of a guy working out at the gym on a treadmill. What do we think, Lunkhead yes or no?
I posted this clip yesterday in Around The Web but our web stats seem to indicate most of you were either not interested or too lazy to click on the link. So instead, I will post it directly to our site.
It’s a clip about how everybody looks better getting out of the water. It’s TV related as there is a surprise cameo by an actor currently on a hit show. It’s got over 7 million hits on YouTube right now and is titled, “Sexy Pool Party”.
I posted a link to a clip about a new full length feature Dora The Explorer Movie in Around the Web this morning, but fear most of you hate reading and just want us to point out things you should watch. If you have kids and have ever seen Dora, you need to watch this preview.
At last count, this clip has over 14 million views on YouTube.
As hilarious as MIDWEST MO’s video was this morning, here’s the official “Man’s man” response. And quite apropos considering at least half of facebook threw up little pink equals signs the other day. I’m not sure that people realize it takes the supreme court months to figure something out and I’m fairly certain that Scalia and Ginsburg are not the social media giants we think they are. Are these people going to remain equivalent for months on end? You can’t possibly like math that much.
Wait, you say the guys in the first video were “Men’s men”?? I’m all confused now.
We don’t often editorialize or give our opinions around here, you know, we tries to keep it professional yo. But I’m driving into work this morning listening to Jonathan Brandmeier on WGN (don’t worry, I’m over 40 so it’s OK for me to listen to AM radio) and he is playing a clip from YouTube that has over 4 million views right now.
The subject matter relates to a current hot button topic – gay marriage. It’s a bunch of gay guys talking about what they will do if we don’t approve gay marriage. No, they aren’t threatening to protest or throw a parade or anything like that. It’s much worse than that and I believe they could actually follow through on their threat. See for yourself:
Let’s hope new Pope does better than new Coke. The whole process is shrouded in mystery. So here is a video that takes you back to the beginning to see how a lot of the current traditions came into being.
And in the former Pope’s honor, here is a video taken who knows where or when. It’s good to see that while he was in charge of the entire Catholic Church, he still had time to smell the roses.
Don’t tell me that you haven’t asked that question at least once while looking forlorn into your online banking accounts. Or maybe that’s just me on a bi-weekly basis. Well wonder no more, for our friends over at homeownersinsurance.com put together a fantastically nerdy graph on what to work towards with your personal investments. And as a bonus, they priced out Batman too!
At our staff meeting this morning, me and the other MIDWEST M’s threw together our net worths just to figure out that we can only afford the interior lining of Iron Man’s jocular cup. Never to be discouraged, we factored in the MWTVG ad-revenue account to find that we also have the option of adding one of the carbon fiber bat-nipples from that horrendous bat-flick with Mister Freeze. Now if I could only get my 65 million shares of subpenny stocks to start moving, I can leave MIKE and MO in the dust of my JARVIS-powered rocket boots.
Now some of the more astute members of our fandom might wonder why I report on this when it’s not technically related to TV. I say au contraire to you sir! I watch them on my TV all the time.
Now to all of the multi-billionaires out there (you know who you are!!), since I have not been seeing little Iron Men flying around on the news, I insist that you are spending your money wrong. I will volunteer to put it to much better use.
Head inside to see all sorts of awesome. Continue reading
I do love cartoons. Maybe I’m beginning a mid-life crisis. Maybe I’ve never grown up. Either way, I love them and, judging from how popular our post on the 20 Best Cartoons of All Time was, I know you love them too.
Here is a new Looney Tunes short starring Wile E. Coyote and The Roadrunner. I was giggling watching this. I’ve always wondered, would the Coyote know what to do if he ever caught the Roadrunner? I’m sure he would be so shocked that he’d be dumbstruck.
It’s been awhile since we’ve taken the time to respond to the tens if not twenties of e-mails we’ve gotten from our fans. You spent nearly 12 seconds writing in to us, the least we could do is take time away from our jobs, family, and this blog to address your comments. With that, here is our viewer mail.
Q: You used to cover manly shows like Sons of Anarchy, Walking Dead, and Breaking Bad. Now it’s seems you only cover Buckwild and The Bachelor. Are you thinking of changing the name of your site to midwesttvhomos.com?
A: What an excellent question and not at all offensive. First, we’ve written many hard hitting stories covering show after show after show and what did we get from it? Nothing. You people only come to our site to read about the most god awful shows on TV so that’s what we give you. We aren’t proud over here and certainly don’t have any integrity. If the producers of 2 Broke Girls send us a dump truck filled with money we will be the biggest supporters ever of the show. That Kat Dennings is funny and hot (still felt a little pinch in my soul as I wrote that, hopefully it goes away).
Second, and probably more dramatic, is that one of our writers is currently battling a tough disease that according to many commercials now affects many men – Low Testosterone. He’s on a replacement therapy, but now has the side effect of large and painful breasts. It’s very confusing to the other male staffers over here. But we support he/she and hope for a speedy recovery.
Q: Why does your Around The Web segment always feature a hot actress of the day?
A: Look, the point of the segment is to entertain and educate you as to the many interesting happenings around the web. We scour the web daily and filter out a lot of the crap for you. After all that, what do you perverts click on? Of course it’s the hot chick of the day.
Q: I hear you guys are getting into the producer business. Is that true?
A: Yes it is. We are currently casting a show about 4 women models who open their own private investigation firm. What we are looking for is young women ages 18-24 that have significant daddy issues to contact us. If you still talk to your parent’s please move on, you are not the right fit. Oh, and until 2 Broke Girls gives us a dump truck full of money, we will need that too.
So keep em coming guys. We will eventually get to your question and answer it with the dignity and respect you would expect from a 7th grade junior high boy.
The pseudo feud between FOX and ABC over diving shows got me thinking about a way to effectively and officially solve the problem. The only rational choice is to settle this BATTLE OF THE NETWORK STARS style.
You know, two men enter, one man leave. Wait, that might be Thunderdome, which would be awesome also, but not the point.
No, the point is we need to put together a ridiculous over the top competition pitting our favorite network stars against each other. And this time I mean actual stars, not the DANCING WITH THE STARS that I’ve never heard of stars.
Here is a clip from 1976. Check out all the true stars that used to participate in this show. For god’s sake Penny Marshall and Ron Howard were involved in this.
