Zombie Disney Princesses
(Click to Enlarge)
I don’t know the identities of any of the ladies pictured above or below, but in both cases, that’s some incredible organization. Let us appreciate that not only did they collect a group of attractive ladies appropriate for the princess role they’ve assumed, but also cleverly ravaged them into zombie form. Kudos, ladies!

In the Method to Madness podcast, I’m joined with my good friend Kevin “The Business” Gray to discuss great anime and video games that you should be watching as well as ones you should feel ashamed you are watching.
This episode, we discuss…
The Last Unicorn may or not be anime, but it is most definitely a fantastic movie.
We’re graced again by our dear friend, M for this episode. She and I El Kabong-ed Kevin, tied him to a dentist’s chair, and force-fed him his first taste of this movie. It could have been Stockholm syndrome, but he eventually came around to enjoy it as much as we. So much, that we decided to heat up the microphones and record another podcast.
You gents may be thinking, “This is the gayest thing I’ve ever heard of.” But let me be clear: this movie may get you laid. Bust out this DVD for your ladyfriend and her heart will swell with girlish ardor. Trust me; it will work better than any other movie in your library.
A bit of warning: The 25th Anniversary Edition of the DVD may have a remastered picture and extra bonus features, but some sacrifices have been made. To make the film more “kid-friendly”, several parts were removed due to barely PG-rated language. The original release of the DVD is barebones and has an inferior picture, though the film is more or less in tact. Choose wisely…
Behold! Lir...Prince of Fail.

Angel of Fyre IS Molotov Cocktease
San Diego Comic Con 2009 had its share of cosplay superstars. One of which was an artist who goes by the name “Angel of Fyre“, granting perfect realization to Molotov Cocktease, from The Venture Bros.
I thought it was very clever to use transparent strips to keep the upper half adhered to her body and prevents her boobs from exploding out into the open air.
Pimping it up with Seth Green!
I have a t-shirt that was given to me as a gift, depicting the “Peanut Butter Jelly Time” scene from Family Guy. For those who have never caught this scene, here ya go:
The joke is a reference to a classic viral flash cartoon on the web, which you can still find here. It’s not even that old–it was made in 2002. However, to everyone who’s complimented me on my shirt, I’ve asked if they’ve seen the original flash and they have no idea what I’m talking about.
Most people know by now that Family Guy’s humor is mostly derived of referential jokes. It’s what they’re famous for; it’s what they do best. Even if you don’t catch the reference, each time they make one, it rings of something related to pop culture. While Family Guy conjures plenty of it’s own original humor, something as wild as a banana dancing to a rap song about peanut butter and jelly isn’t exactly something that can be written. Yet when I mention it, people usually respond with, “Wait… That’s from something?”
This is driving me nuts.
I’ve always had a passion for understanding comedy, but one thing I may never fully understand is how different people’s sense of humor can be. If you don’t understand the reference, why is that scene funny to you? When I attempt to pick at people’s brains, I’ve been able to come up with two theories:
People can usually recognize when a joke is in front of them, whether they get it or not. But there’s an insecurity inside them that doesn’t want to appear stupid to the people who do get the joke, so they laugh anyway. In a way, they think it’s funny because they are told that it’s funny, whether they genuinely find it humorous or not.
I believe that most people don’t really mature much beyond their toddler years. Much of this can be reflected in their sense of humor. I love a good fart joke every now and then, but have grown to appreciate other concepts. Those whose tastes haven’t expanded beyond farts (ironically) will laugh at damn near anything.
I also think there’s a correlation depending on whether or not the person has children. There’s a phenomenon that I’ve noticed akin to Bill Cosby’s “My wife and I used to be intellectuals…” routine (found on the “Himself” album), where people who have children revert to being children themselves. It makes a certain amount of sense in that you have to regress yourself a bit in order to relate and communicate with the child, especially when humor is involved. Unfortunately, most adults tend to get stuck in this mode; maintaining the sense of humor of a 9-year-old while the child eventually grows and surpasses the parent in maturity. At least, until they have children of their own.
Maybe I’m being cynical about human behavior. Maybe I’m being a comedy snob. But maybe I’m on to something. In either case, I will do my part mend the ignorance. Here’s some knowledge:
So true…so true. There was a day when I almost became this guy.
One video that’s been shared for a while now is getting it’s turn here. If there’s one community bountiful with wasted time and creativity, it’s the MUGEN crowd. MUGEN is a do-it-yourself fighting game software that allows you to create your own custom fighting game. Your own characters. Your own moves. Done your way. The possibilities are endless. You can form any dream match that you can imagine, intellectual property laws be damned.
One such dream match that I find link-worthy is one of Peter Griffin (of TV’s The Family Guy) vs. Street Fighter’s Sakura. Sakura is more or less as she’s always been seen in previous games. But Peter’s character was done with a great deal of effort. The voice clips and sound effects match perfectly, save for his normal fireball fart. The only other issue appears to be the painful lag just before Peter’s vomit hyper-combo. It also looks like you can program gender-specific intros and win animations. Otherwise, that Quagmire victory animation could get kinda weird…
