Good news, nerds! It’s only three more days until national Talk Like A Pirate Day, and look! The guys over at Hobo Trashcan have an interview with its creator, Cap’n Slappy. I don’t know about him, but personally if I’m gonna be a pirate, I’m going by Captain Morgain. No shortened monikers for me. (Hobo Trashcan)

Are you a hardcore foodie? Prove it by taking on this Litely Salted quiz … If you dare! Yeah, I’m hungry all of a sudden. I want a meatball sub. (Litely Salted)

Just because Stacey isn’t here anymore, doesn’t mean we’ll be stopping the Dexter love anytime soon. Therefor, here are the fifteen most satisfying kills on Dexter. I’m not gonna lie: I needed to light up after watching a few of these. Was it good for you too? (UGO)

It’s one thing to acknowledge the south’s history of slave owning and bigotry; it is another for a South Carolina representative to throw a costume party that involves dressing black people as slaves and selling them at a mock live auction. Guess which one happened. (AngryBlackLadyChronicles)

So Tim Gunn taped a guest spot on Gossip Girl a little while ago, and Taylor Momsen couldn’t remember any of her lines and wouldn’t get off her Blackberry, so Tim Gunn was all like “get off your fucking Blackberry, you little ho.” And that’s why I love Tim Gunn. (popbytes)

Here’s the story of how Allie Brosh managed to go to a children’s birthday party while heavily sedated. I won’t go into details because this is hysterically funny, but I will be saying “PARP!” randomly for the rest of the day. (HyperboleAndAHalf)

Here are the best cast TV siblings. I honestly thought it couldn’t get better than Niles and Frasier Crane, and then I got to the Bluths and I realized that yes, yes it could. (Unreality)

Here’s an interview with James Silvani, the guy behind the new Darkwing Duck series. That’s right bitches, Darkwing Duck is fucking back! Suck many dicks, Gizmo Duck. (The Flickcast)

Alright, so fun fact here: Facebook has a fan page for people who want to unleash attack dogs on “sluts”. Which strikes me as odd because a lot of my fellow cock-jockeys have had their Facebook profiles taken down for the sole fact that they do porn. So for the record: Gay sex = bad. Having your dog attack women = a-okay! (Zelda Lily)

So Javier Bardem thinks his penis is small, and… Ummm, yeah, I don’t actually have a joke about this one. I just wanted an excuse to talk about Javier Bardem’s penis. This is the sort of shit you can get away with when you write Pajiba Love, people. (Agent Bedhead)

Oh how cute, for the 100th episode of American Dad, they decided to kill off 100 characters. Know what would have been even better? If you killed off the show itself. (Screen Junkies)

Hey Mel Gibson, you know what’s a great way to disguise yourself? With a fake mustache you bought at the dollar store! Oh, wait, sorry, that only works in children’s cartoons where all the adults are legally brain dead. (Evil Beet)

Oh joy, Anna Kournikova is going to have a spread in Maxim! In 3D! I’m sure I would care about this if I were straight. Or cared about tennis. And it was still 2002. And 3D weren’t just a lame gimmick meant to sell copies of a shitty magazine. (Yeeeah!)

Here are eight celebrities who used to work at Hooters. Ummmm … Yeah. I count only two actual celebrities on this list. Although I think we can all agree that Amy Adam has lovely hooters, doesn’t she? (The Frisky)

I’m sure you’re all still reeling from the video yesterday (for those who haven’t seen it: YOU HAVE BEEN SPARED) so today you’re getting a video from Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw reviewing Mafia II to cleanse the palate.

Jeremy Feist is a freelance writer, maker of lovin’, and an average-everyday-sane-psycho. You can check his NSFW blog here, or email him here.

Grrrr... I took the quiz - it marked me 2 wrong - one wienerschnitzel because I called it one word and they wanted two and foie gras for no reason I could see at all... darn foodies and their fancy spelling!

Posted by: jmd at September 16, 2010 12:40 PM

arrrrrrrrrgh! I would have gotten almost ALL OF THOSE QUESTIONS RIGHT... if I could spell :|

Y'argh, Pajibans! Tis a fine wind be blowin' today, maties!

Posted by: Aislinn at September 16, 2010 12:49 PM

Let's clarify this again.

Family Guy - occasionally enjoyable since its cancellation, but is increasingly abrasive as it's second run rolls on

Cleveland Show - shit

Cartoon Cavalcade - human centipede shit

American Dad! - the best animated show you won't watch because Seth MacFarlane made it. It is nothing like Family Guy. It is consistently funny and relies on plot, not cutaways, to achieve said humor. For goodness sake, the first three seasons had newspaper headline gags in the opening credits. Patrick Stewart is the raucous leader of the CIA who thinks taking the entire organization to a strip club is the only way to ensure the elimination of a massive budget surplus.

Look up the episode called "Rapture's Delight" and watch it. It's occasionally on Hulu, though not right now. There is no shortage of streaming sites with the episode.

If a spot on parody of every apocalypse film ever made wrapped in a pretty Christmas special bow doesn't do it for you, try "Tears of a Clooney." That's on Netflix Instant. Then come back here and tell me this show is anything like Family Guy in quality or humor. I can wait.

I'm reading Yahtzee's first novel Mogworld right now. It's pretty entertaining if you like fantasy/MMORPG type stories. Lots of fucking around and cocking up.

Posted by: twig at September 16, 2010 1:06 PM

Parp? Moum?

Are you kidding? My friends and I have been doing this since yesterday. And it never stops being funny.

Allie Brosh is my new god.

Posted by: dammitjanet at September 16, 2010 1:06 PM

Yeah I call shenanigans on today's quiz. I missed SIX because of spelling, including NIGIRI because I didn't capitalize it???

Posted by: The Pink Hulk at September 16, 2010 1:18 PM

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! Arrrrgh! Arrrrgh! Arrrrgh! Arrrgh! Arrrgh! Argh! Argh! Argh! Argh! Ar! Ar! Ar! Ar!.......................AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Posted by: Pookie at September 16, 2010 1:21 PM

Yahtzee is the best games reviewer out there. A funny motherfucker

Posted by: supafly at September 16, 2010 1:53 PM

Crap, Talk Like A Pirate Day is on a Sunday? That takes all the fun out of it. I won't see anyone on Sunday. Still, it beats Saturday. Talking like a Pirate on Yom Kippur might not go over real well in my synagogue.

Posted by: BWeaves at September 16, 2010 2:20 PM

I'm with you guys on the quiz issue- they must have really tightened up their parameters for spelling, because I was very close on some of them, and got a fat "wrong" for my troubles. And the Nigiri thing? Bogus, I tell you.

Posted by: logar at September 16, 2010 2:39 PM

PÄarp,a town in Sweden. We have friends that live there.

Also from Urban Dictionary:
Parp, British slang, to break wind.
Johnny Fartpants from Viz is always parping.

Still laughing, thanks Allie

Posted by: Mrs Smith at September 16, 2010 3:00 PM

Yeah... re: the quiz, I'm gonna call bullshit. I wouldn't be so anal about it, except I suck at every pop-culture quiz, and I KNOW FOOD. But really? I got the following wrong --

You Submitted: nigiri
Correct Answer: Nigiri

You Submitted: Hors d'Oeurves
Correct Answer: Hors d'oeuvres

And that's just two of the six questions like that. And I'm only on question 10. Rematch please?

Posted by: deadbrilliant at September 16, 2010 3:18 PM


I need to buy Tim Gunn's book. Anyone read it yet? I hear he calls out a bunch of assholish divas in the fashion industry. And because everyone loves him he just seriously doesn't give a shit anymore, and he's going off on eeeeveryone. I love that man to death. I want him to be my uncle or something.

Ha, I'm so happy I only recognized three girls out of that list of Hooters chicks. Seriously, Frisky, you need to reconsider your definition of the word 'celebrity'. 'Slutty Famewhores' would have been more appropriate.

Posted by: figgy at September 16, 2010 3:20 PM

Big second on Robert's comments about AMERICAN DAD! If you're making fun of it, then you either haven't seen it or you went in with an "I already know it sucks" attitude. Seriously, it's up there with IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY and CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM.

Posted by: Adam F. at September 16, 2010 3:54 PM

Awwwwww....I like American Dad. It had My Morning Jacket on it, for fucks sake. And this is coming from someone who "nothings" Family Guy (but loathes people who "love it, bro, love it" and absolutely despises The Cleveland Show.

Posted by: JapJay at September 16, 2010 4:57 PM

By the way, that quiz? Yeah. I gave up after this:

WRONG:
You submitted: Lychee
Correct answer: Lychee

Posted by: JapJay at September 16, 2010 5:02 PM

Seriously, what's up with the quiz today? It seems both very picky and kind of wonky. On the translucent fruit question, I got the right answer and was told that the answer was actually exactly what I'd typed, with no change in spelling or capitalization.

I swear I know food! I am the snobbiest of food snobs! Is this just an attempt to bring me and my ilk down a few notches? Because I swear I shall remain defiant until the last! *sobs over a haricot verts and tempeh stir fry accompanied by some damn lychee wine*


Posted by: thenchonto at September 16, 2010 5:23 PM

Perhaps I should've also refreshed this page when I came back to it...

Posted by: thenchonto at September 16, 2010 5:25 PM

Fuck that quiz. It wasn't a food quiz, it was a spelling test, and not a good one at that. I know what cold potato soup is, even if I can't spell it.

Some of it was case sensitive, some wasn't. "Lychee" vs "lychee" fre Chrissakes.

Posted by: Dave at September 16, 2010 5:51 PM

I don't watch American Dad because it isn't remotely funny. Unless it's changed drastically since the first couple seasons, it's never been funny. Roger's voice is the most annoying next to the "Oh nooooo" guy on Family Guy (which I don't watch either).

I only watched half of one Cleveland Show and it was utter shit as was expected. The least interesting character on a continually downhill show gets his own spinoff? Is that really still on?

Posted by: Paul at September 16, 2010 5:55 PM

RE: Darkwing Duck

Darkwing Duck has the distinct honor of telling the best science fiction story I've ever heard.

It begins with the Duck fighting some kind of evil toy/physics genius, who had invented a giant spinning top which could TRAVEL THROUGH FUCKING TIME! The Duck, trying to stop the villain, accidentally hops aboard the top right before it vanishes and ends up in the future. A bleak, dark future. A future in which Darkwing Duck mysteriously vanished and was unable to continue his crusade against crime.

In the future, he encounters his daughter (daughter right?) and all his former crime fighting colleagues. If memory serves, it wasn't a warm reunion. It was bitter and difficult because he basically just dissapeared one night and never came back, abandoning his young daughter and leaving the city to rot and fester.

What engaged me about this story, besides the impressive three-dimensionality of these -- well, these fucking ducks, was their idea of time travel.

In the second Back to the Future, Marty travels into the future and sees himself. Because the story assumes that he will eventually go BACK in time and live out a normal life. Right? Well, Darkwing Duck had a different take on it. When he leaps into the future, he is essentially plucked out of time and dropped back in the future. In the future timeline, he hadn't been around -- he couldn't go visit himself because he's the only one there is. And in the past, he wasn't around. Because he'd gone into the future. I remember comparing these two stories in my mind over and over (I'm certain they came out at around the same time) and being mystified by how the silly little cartoon about FUCKING DUCKS had a more imaginative grasp on time travel.

Don't you see? He wasn't around in the past because he'd traveled into the future! It's brilliant! BRILLIANT!

*sigh*

My 12 year old self is all giddy.

yeah, tim gunn is awesome for calling a 17 yr old girl a ho.... get overself tim...

Posted by: Greg at September 16, 2010 6:09 PM

I'm all for making fun of conservatives, but when us liberals accuse them of things they didn't do, it makes us look stupid. It also makes this poster specifically look incredibly racist in stating that some conservatives just up and dressed up black people like dolls, as if they had no say in the matter.

There was an auction at the event you link to, but it was, you know, an auction. For items, not a "mock auction of slaves." Seriously, how fucking stupid are this poster and the one at Angry Black Chronicles to not understand that a LIVE AUCTION is not an auction of live people, but an auction where people bid out loud as opposed to a SILENT AUCTION (which, if they called a dead auction, I'm sure you would think that was an auction for organs or zombies or something, fucking idiots).

There were African Americans at the event, but they were there to promote Gullah culture (something I had no idea about until I read about this picture, so they have certainly been more than successful).

I would also like to take this opportunity to once again voice the fact that J. Feist is kind of obnoxious and annoying as the writer of these Pajiba Love posts.

Dude, Mangrilla -- don't be a dick.

Posted by: superasente at September 16, 2010 7:10 PM

Re: that foodie test, I got them all right, but it counted half as incorrect because I spelled them slightly wrong. And one I spelled correctly and just didn't capitalize the first letter! Lame!!

Posted by: Eva at September 16, 2010 7:41 PM

Seems like being a dick is par for the course round this column.

American Dad had improved exponentially since the crummy start, which I wouldn't watch on pain of torture. And I have no love for the other McFarlane shows, not one whit. I saw an episode once of Cleveland, the one where the baby thinks his sister is dying of menstruation. Snake eyes.

Posted by: Jo 'Mama' Besser at September 16, 2010 7:53 PM

Has improved, rather. Sometimes I can be bothered to fix my typos.

Posted by: Jo 'Mama' Besser at September 16, 2010 7:55 PM

Don't you tell me how to live my life, superasente.

Posted by: mangrilla at September 16, 2010 8:36 PM

Oh, no. It does not get better than Frasier and Niles Crane. Mind you, GOB Bluth is one of the funniest characters of all time, and Michael may be more relatable--but if we're just talking well-cast siblings, then there is absolutely no match for the Crane boys. Per-freakin'-fection.

Posted by: meaux at September 16, 2010 9:14 PM

HAR!

If Tim Gunn is going to the rock the jukebox like this, he's going to have to go full hetero, because our marriage will be a sham if else. I just can't go lavender for another marriage, not for a sixth time!

Posted by: Jo 'Mama' Besser at September 16, 2010 9:53 PM

Oh, my bad. How silly of me (and of one of the Wonkette writers which I referenced) to see white folks dressed up in their Confederate finest, while the two (and only two, from what I can see from the photos posted on FitsNews) black people are dressed like slaves to draw a faulty conclusion from an advertised "live auction" at an event dubbed "A Southern Experience."

An idiot? Maybe. A fucking idiot? Quit harshing my mellow.

How much were those black people paid, anyway? Do you know? You want to talk about the larger issue, which is why the hell such an event even took place at all? Or do you just want to feel awesome and superior?

And yeah, the two black people (whom I quoted, actually) who claim to have been educating people clearly did a great job because you went and googled Gullah after these asshats had to explain themselves. That makes sense. And by that, I mean it makes no sense at all.

That said, as soon as my server stops being a jerk, I'll update the post after investigating further, and maybe the event will be downgraded from "racist as fuck" to just "racist."


Sincerely,
Duchess Fucking Idiot

It drives fucking insane when people complain about the writing on this site. You already know what all the links are going to be to from Pajiba Love. If you don't like it go directly to the site. Do you honestly think Jeremy gives a shit about your approval. Do you think he's gonna read your half-baked analyses and say to himself, "oh gosh mangrilla's upset! better change my writing style so I don't lose his readership."

If you don't like it, don't fucking support it by coming here. In the mean time, get fucked.

Posted by: jesuschrysler at September 17, 2010 3:50 AM

Also, anyone who thinks that farce of republican gathering is remotely acceptable is an idiot. Looking back at slavery in a favorable light and saying, "This is just history. We can't sanitize it" is just ignorant. You're right, you can't sanitize it. But you can downplay how horrific a time that was for black americans by integrating it in a "fun" way as a fucking costume party. It's in poor taste.

Posted by: jesuschrysler at September 17, 2010 3:55 AM

Also, yay for Darkwing Duck!

Posted by: jesuschrysler at September 17, 2010 3:57 AM

Yeah, Angry Black Lady may have not had it entirely straight when she wrote the post. What are you? Fucking perfect?
People make mistakes, people misinterpret things, it still seems pretty tasteless, though it would depend really on what they actually did or said at the party, but there's no reason to fly off the handle about it.
