Film poster for Napoleon Dynamite - Copyright ...Image via WikipediaBefore this past week or so, if you wanted to relive the Napoleon Dynamite adventure, you had to rent the movie, catch it during a daytime airing on basic cable or order it on your Netflix0-enabled device (unless you happened to already own a copy of the feature film).

But not anymore, as Fox has brought back the delicious dosage of the gasconaded indie-popcorn comedy in a rivetingly hilarious animated edition that truly delivers bowlfuls of laughs for the whole family with their Animated Napoleon Dynamite series that deals out a one-two punch to the funny side of your brain—and that will leave you laughing in remise after watching the outstandingly awesome Pilot Episode, “Thundercone.”

Unlike the movie, the animated series actually picks up the pace for delivering funny shakes on the laughter bus a lot more quickly than its silver screen predecessor. Considering that the one-liners from the movie are still very popular about eight year after the fact – and also taking into account that Fox is trying to continue its domination of Sunday evenings with a prime time four hour slot etched in for comedic animated parodies – it’s safe to say that this animated series will more than likely span multiple seasons.

Not without good reason, of course. In the first episode – one of two that aired during the same primetime slot on Sunday, January 15th on Fox – Napoleon realizes that his new acne cream makes him undefeatable in fights because it causes him to become manically crazy and enraged. After his brother, Kip, starts dating a new sweetheart, Napoleon steals her heart away using his newly founded courage and knack for beating people up.

The same infamous and classic one-liners like “Gosh!” and “Geez!” are back, this time augmented by a slapstick routine that dispenses laugh after laugh from the funny farm. Towards the end of the premier episode, Napoleon and Kip battle it out in the Thundercone, a funny version of the Thunderdome, only a featured in a barn mill that hosts redneck Fightclub-like brawls for the locals.

With good old Napoleon Dynamite back, and this time in animated series on Fox, it’s time to get your groove going again with our massive selection of hard-to-find Napoleon Dynamite T-shirts.

Hulk HoganHulk Hogan (Image via RottenTomatoes.com)Wrestling is known for its outlandish story lines, bigger-than-life characters and its propensity toward violence. Many times, a “bad guy” will use a weapon during one of the matches or even when there isn’t a match scheduled in order to hurt his opponent. Most of the weapons that they use are typical, but there are some odd ones that have been used throughout the years. Here are a few of the more unusual ones.

1. Acoustic Guitars: Several WWE superstars have used acoustic guitars to bash over the head of an opponent to knock them cold. Two of these stars that are known for their guitar weapons include the Honky Tonk Man and Jeff Jarrett. One of the more famous incidents occurred in 1987 when the Honky Tonk Man was about to bash his six-string over the head of Randy “Macho Man” Savage while the Hart Foundation held him down. But Miss Elizabeth ran to the back and brought Hulk Hogan down to the ring before any damage could be done.

2. Urns: Before the arrival of the Undertaker, using an urn as a weapon that supposedly carried the ashes of a deceased relative was unheard of. But when Paul Bearer, the Undertaker’s manager, turned on the dead man, used the urn more than once to betray the Undertaker, it wasn’t so far-fetched. In one match against Mankind at Summerslam 1996, Paul Bearer slammed the urn into Undertaker’s head. Another time, 15 years later, the urn was used again as a bright light shone out of it and blinded the Undertaker during a match with Kane.

3. Megaphone: Jimmy Hart is known for his big mouth and his megaphone. The “Mouth of the South’s” megaphone has been used as a weapon more times than I can count during his career as a manager in the WWE. It has changed history in the WWE as it has been used to change the course of championship matches and much more. Undertaker as World ChampionImage via Wikipedia

4. Wooden Leg: In a scene that will live in my memory forever, Diesel pulled a guy from the audience over the barrier and threw pulled his wooden leg off. The audience member was a former wrestler who had lost his leg due to complications from diabetes. At the time, I didn’t know that, which made the incident even more disturbing to me.

These are just a few unconventional weapons that WWE wrestlers have used throughout the years. It will be interesting to see what else they come up with to amuse and amaze in the upcoming years.

Robot Chicken (season 2)Image via WikipediaWho would have ever thought that that the actor who portrayed Scott Evil (Dr. Evil’s son in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery) would have gone on to make his own hit animated comedy? But that’s exactly what Seth Green has done. And he has done it so well that from 2005 through the current year, the show has enjoyed six impressive back-to-back seasons on Adult Swim.

Of course, the GI Joe dolls fighting Cobra to the bloody finish, the serial killer Santa Clause, the slanderous insinuations to fallen-from-grace actors and actresses, and the funny plays on old-school hit cartoons, toys, TV shows and what have you, is not Green’s only stint in hit animated cartoons series. As a matter of fact, he got his start on the popular Fox hit show, Family Guy, years ago, where he played the voice of Chris Griffin; and still does in current episodes.

The creator of Family Guy, Seth MacFarlane, has made fun of Green’s stint with Robot Chicken in numerous episodes of Family Guy. However, there is one episode in particular that is just hilarious. When Stewie and Brian end up traveling through different dimensions due to a time machine error, they end up in a “Robot Chicken Dimension,” and a small skit that makes fun of Green’s Show. We’ve posted a video below that we found online of this hilarious anecdote, which is really a tribute to the show from MacFarlane to Green.

Ah the yuletide season beacons once more. With its arrival does come the often procellous nature of the holidays, where we are rushing and racing, and trying to get everything that we need to get accomplished just in a nick of time to ensure that there is a nicely decorated tree, presents for one and all, and that our budgets have not been precariously exhausted through the roof. We run around in a profoundly raucous manner during this time of the year, so that we are able to enjoy a few days off from our otherwise tumultuous work schedules; all so that we can enjoy the holidays, of course and spend some time with our families.

The colloquialism of the traditional holiday rush actually officially commences on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, when the New Year clock starts ticking down inside of our minds, and when you can almost hear Santa laughing off in the distance with his sleigh bells jingling. This jolly and giving time of year represents a serendipitous escape from the numerous calamites that often surround everyday life. So what better way to ring in this holiday season than by recanting a Christmas classic silver screen flick that was fomented by none other than the giddy, joke-cracking and off-colored folks at National Lampoon?

We could be talking about only one movie here folks: “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.”

If Chevy Chase ever had a prime of his career, it was easily during part of his run in this series of hit parody films by National Lampoon. Get ready to travel back in time with us a bit here folks, all the way to the release date of this film, 1989 – 22 years ago – when Clark Wilhelm Griswold decides to forgo the family’s traditionally tragedy-prone holiday vacations, and instead opens up his home to his relatives for some holiday togetherness. Unbeknownst to Clark, however, is that his ill-mannered redneck cousin, Eddie Johnson (Randy Quaid), will prove to be the spoiler of his signature 20,000 Christmas lights and well planned holiday get-together. With Johnson on-hand to ruin everything, a holiday bonus check that never did arrive, and a turkey that bursts into flames upon being overcooked, disaster is around every corner for the Griswold family. And laughs are also around every one of those corners for viewers to enjoy.
Here are a couple of our favorite quotes from this holiday classic, so you can rehash the humor in your own minds.

Clark Griswold: “Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?”
Eddie: “Naw, I'm doing just fine, Clark.”
Clark Griswold: “Our holidays were always such a mess.”
Clark Sr.: “Oh, yeah.”
Clark Griswold: “How'd you get through it?”
Clark Sr.: “I had a lot of help from Jack Daniels.”
Ellen: “Clark, Audrey's frozen from the waist down.”
Clark Griswold: “That's all part of the experience, honey.”
Ruby Sue: “Uncle Clark, are you sure you ain't Santa Claus?”
Clark Griswold: “I'm sure... I can't even afford to be an elf.”
Clark Griswold: “Hey, Kids, I heard on the news that an airline pilot spotted Santa's sleigh on its way in from New York City.”
Eddie: “You serious, Clark?”

Eric CartmanImage via WikipediaWho is Eric Cartman? Well we all know that he is a chubby (or as he calls it, “supple”) eight-year-old boy from South Park, Colorado who’s mainstay is remaining in the upper echelon of “coolness” amongst a boisterous crowd of kids who secretly abhor him. He’s an outspoken racist, bigot, cheater, liar, and what-have-you, and he’s jealous, greedy, selfless and, well, pretty freaking funny to laugh at, too. Easily, if there were three characters who have etched themselves into the South Park Hall of Fame, top considerations would have to go to: Eric Cartman, Randy Marsh and Butters; of which some of the most notable, notorious and memorable of all episodes have centered upon.

Still, Eric tops the cake.

Appetence for Evil
When he is not trying to kill off the entire Jewish population, annihilate the Gingers, give Kyle AIDS, free a convicted baby killer, frame the teachers (and Kyle) or make hamburgers that are flavored by his butt cheeks, Cartman is embattled with a personality disorder that’s obfuscated with his stuffed animals. After all, he is the guy that sees the Devil and even Adolph Hitler when he closes his eyes.

But Cartman needs to be inherently evil. He is the Stewie of South Park. Rather, South Park arrived prior to Family Guy, so that association is more likely the latter; Stewie is the Griffin’s Cartman. It’s these evil deeds that Cartman strives to commit, and usually bitterly fails at – with exception of course to Scott Tennerman (Episode: “Scott Tennerman Must Die” – the most notorious episode of all time), that have paved the most famous of all South Park lines.

When Eric does fail, or becomes overly frustrated at a situation that he lacks complete totalitarian control over (or “authoritan”), there is an infamous and trademark line that we have all grown to love: “Screw You Guys … I’m Going Home!”

Top Ten Eric Cartman Moments
Now for your total enjoyment – and our mutual biding love for the sinister jerk that Eric Cartman truly is – here are the top ten Eric Cartman moments. They are presented in just vocal format. But if you take a gander at this Youtube video (below), you should take note that it’s received over 1 million hits to-date. That’s a lot of other people who are laughing their derrières off about Cartman’s funniest escapades on one of the most popular animated TV series of all time. If you are as much of an avid South Park neophyte as we are, you need only hear the audio to connect it to a signature episode of South Park.




Tell the World: “Screw You Guys, I’m Going Home!” with our Eric Cartman South Park T-Shirts. Show everyone that you love your favorite TV show, and its most infamous line. Or just add it to your growing South Park collection (we know that you have one).
