“Niles, do you think I’m elitist?”, Fraiser asks his brother in the “Love Stinks” episode of Season 9.
“Of course I do,” Niles says, “you needn’t worry about that.”
This is one of my favourite moments between the two brothers.
The poem they reference, by the way, is Runyard Kipling’s famous “If—”, which happens to be one of my favourite poems. Despite the fact that the work is almost too famous for its own good, it’s hard not to be inspired by Kipling’s words.
Here it is, read by Des Lynam, and animated by George Horne.
The Hitler meme—in which the English subtitles from the movie Downfall are replaced by culturally relevant ones—is a huge internet hit.
But I never really found them that funny until I saw this one, in which Hitler freaks out after his latest article is rejected by the journal reviewers.
The most recent episode of Community, NBC’s comedy about a rag-tag (Breakfast Club-like) group of community college goers, has cemented its reputation as one of the hot new TV shows.
In the episode, which is called Physical Education, the main storyline involves one of the character’s discomfort when his gym teacher tells the class they must wear shorts in order to participate in the college’s “Billards” class.
And like a lot of the brilliant episodes, it involves a terrific musical montage at the end, culminating in…well, you just have to watch.
Spoilers!
The show is centred upon a group of seven students: Jeff, the lawyer and arguably the main character; Brita, the aimless twenty-something activist; Pierce, the old buffoon; Troy, the former high-school star athlete; Abed, the pop-culture guru; Shirley, the recently divorced mother; and Annie, the repressed Jewish high-school dropout.
The show has a lot of heart and even more pop culture references. It’s quite zany and is just a laugh riot.
Words cannot describe how awesome this music video is.
OK Go, by the way, is the American band that won a Grammy for their music video, Here It Goes Again, in which they sang the song while dancing on treadmills.
Last event of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics: Men’s Ice Hockey final.
Anybody who doesn’t comprehend how important hockey is to Canadians simply needs to watch this commercial.
The Canada vs. USA game which happened earlier in the non-elimination rounds attracted over 10 million Canadian television viewers. That’s almost a third of the population. This game will almost certainly smash that record. How high could it go? 12 million? 15 million?
There’s a hilarious soundbite on the video montage here where a Canadian couple are interviewed at a Canadian hockey game.
“Better than your wedding day?” the BBC interviewer asks.
The wife and husband hesitates for a moment, then they both shrug and go, “Yeeeaaaahh!”
