One of the presidential candidates for the Republican Party made a huge gaffe yesterday. I’m sure you heard about it. Yup, Michelle Bachmann said nice girls shouldn’t ask boys out on dates. (Jezebel)

JUST KIDDING YOU GUYS. I mean, she did say that. But the Republican Candidate with his head firmly lodged up his *ss was, of course, Rick Perry. If you haven’t seen his hateful campaign video yet, go check it out here. (Uproxx) That’s right, Bachmann eyes, there’s a new meme in town. Even if you do agree with Perry’s politics, this article explains why that ad was a tactical misfire. (The New Civil Rights Movement)

Okay, this post right here is basically one big ad for a T-shirt company. BUT, they’re a clever geeky little company and there’s a discount promo on the page. So, you’re WELCOME. (Nerd Approved)

Speaking of geek purchases, you can procure these muppet wall decals for your kid’s room. You know, if you hate your child and want to give them feltish nightmares. Also, for those of you who said Clooney resembled Sam The Eagle. Nailed it. (HolyCool)

Speaking of nightmares, check out this Cheeseburger flavored Cup O’ Noodles. I’m not sure which version is scarier, the freeze-dried “Before” or the melty, plasticky “After.” (InventorSpot) Are cheeseburgers suddenly a thing now? There’s also this really confusing cheeseburger wrapping paper. (Kickstarter)

Oh my little useless data sets! It’s been awhile since we had a good Venn diagram. This seasonal one comes from The Curious Brain. Creepy, right?

Speaking of creepy, watch STP’s Scott Weiland try out his best Michael Buble impression. No, no, not charming and hilarious Buble. Frank Sinatra Impersonator Buble. Weiland has a new, possibly ill-advised holiday album out. (Stereogum)

Speaking of crooners, it’s the 31st anniversary of John Lennon’s death. Yoko Ono has posted a place where people can leave thoughts and tributes. RIP, John. (Imagine Peace)

I usually refrain from posting hearsay rumors, but this is a delightful one. Sources say Ryan Murphy is a huge prick to the “Glee” kids, blackmailing them and miring them in unappealing plot lines if they don’t toe the line. Does this explain the abundance of weird, stupid, nonsensical plot points on “Glee”? Amazing. (Celebitchy)

Speaking of hissy fits, here’s a hilarious breakdown of the “10 Classic Types Of Lady Tantrums In Movies.” I mean it when I say hilarious. “Faye Dunaway prefers sturdier hangers, OK?” (MovieLine)

Here are 11 great anachronistic photos from period films/TV shows. In the card game of thrones, you either bid, or you die. (Buzzfeed)

Speaking of anachronisms, check out these great magazine covers featuring Disney princesses. Oh hot, slave girl Jasmine, you were always my favorite. (Unreality)

And, finally, a one two holiday punch just for you Pajibans. First, a series of zombie holiday cards. (Nerd Approved) And, from Laughing Squid, a tentacular nativity scene. Dude, is Joseph an African Squid? Boss. (Laughing Squid)

Last, but not least, on this, possibly our final day of new “Community,” I bring you an adorable video of the cast playing pop culture trivia on the set. Dan Harmon makes an excellent moderator and I LOOOOVE me some pop culture trivia, but the victory dance is what launches this into the stratosphere of greatness.

Joanna Robinson thinks that if she met Alison Brie, she probably wouldn’t like her. You can convince her otherwise here.

I don't think the Ryan Murphy thing is a rumor. I've been hearing that since Puck was sidelined for a month in Season 2. Why? Because he released a solo album without Ryan's blessing. Chord Overstreet came back as a stripper solely because he turned down his original season 3 contract. There are tons of these stories coming from people in the know. Didn't you ever wonder why Mary Cherry became the leading lady on season 2 of Popular? That happened solely because Leslie Grossman said "yes, sir" to everything Ryan Murphy ever said to her.

That Vulture video was the greatest thing I've seen in at least 4 weeks.
VERY similar to how we play games at my family gatherings except we have more Chevys.

Spock and Kirk reading MAD Magazine. Does it get any better?

This needs more comments. And Jo, you reeeeally need to hear the Nerdist episode where Ali talks about playing "Knock Knock, Here's My Butt" in art school. She is a delight. I think we're seeing her here in complete competitive mode and she's trying to match the energy of the room so she might seem a little over aggressive.

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at December 8, 2011 1:26 PM

I get super competitive too, Aly, but I hide it under a veneer of humble sweetness. IT'S AN ART.

Also? I KNEW THE ANSWER TO THAT "SNL" QUESTION.

Posted by: coveredinbees at December 8, 2011 1:29 PM

Man I love trivia so much. . .too much.

Posted by: coveredinbees at December 8, 2011 1:30 PM

I don't mean to Julien all over this thread but I seem to be coming to terms with being an Alison Brie apologist.
Either that or the really sexist Dr. Pepper I drank has energized me far too much.
(The 10 calorie Dr. Pepper with the commercials about being only for men.)

Also, every fiber of my being wanted Danny and Donald to say, (in unison), "WYLD STALLYNS!" And then air guitar.

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at December 8, 2011 1:34 PM

Oh bless you for using the appropriate "Y."

Posted by: coveredinbees at December 8, 2011 1:34 PM

I love the Community cast. Love. So many good quotes.

"I had no parents so TV raised me"
"That's why they we call her NPR-Lady"
"Think Balls. Ballllls"
*dancing*

I propose a Community reboot. Instead of being put out to pasture, the show can come back, new and improved. It'll be a documentary show about the cast of the show, making the show. The show, Community.

Posted by: llaurus at December 8, 2011 1:41 PM

Oh how I wish I could watch that video right now, lack of Wyld Stallyns notwithstanding.

Re: John Lennon's deathiversary
2011 - 1980 = 31 years.
Just saying.

Actually, if you take the numbers off the cards and spray paint the chairs to look like wood, the Game of Thrones picture could almost pass as authentic.

Posted by: Three-nineteen at December 8, 2011 2:16 PM

I'm with you on that Alison Brie thing. I love her on Community but something about her always bugs me when I see her in interviews.

Posted by: Camila at December 8, 2011 2:30 PM

I may have almost yelled "DOUBLE DRAGON" at my monitor.

Just so long as they didn't confuse it with the Bob Hoskins/John Leguizamo/Dennis Hopper tour de force that was Super Mario Bros.

Speaking of Ryan Murphy...will the American Horror Story review go up today or tomorrow? So much to discuss!!

Posted by: JustBill at December 8, 2011 2:50 PM

I am convinced that Perry/Bachman/Santorum/Cain are/were only in the race to make Romney look like a reasonable guy. If you took them out of the equation it would be obvious that he has positions as distasteful as theirs (to me), but they play the role of making him look like Mr. Moderate.

Note to the trolls (not the regulars who disagree in a collegial fashion who have my respect): I don't rise to the bait so don't bother.

Posted by: PaddyDog at December 8, 2011 2:58 PM

Perry's gay comment wasn't half as shocking to me as his promise to make America more Christian friendly if he's elected president. That frightens me.

Posted by: snapnhiss at December 8, 2011 3:03 PM

I don't feel the need to correct you about what would happen if you met Alison Brie. I'm sure you're right - she'd hate you.

Posted by: Unemployed at December 8, 2011 3:39 PM

What the hell workplace content blocker? Why won't you let me see a Community video of goodness? Are they naked in it?

Damn, now I hope they're naked in it. Well played workplace internet censor. Well played.

Posted by: Lipton at December 8, 2011 4:59 PM

Joanna, I thought you were pro boobs. Or would it be pro-boobs?

Posted by: TheOtherGreg at December 8, 2011 5:09 PM

Ah, whereas you, Unemployed Cyber D*ck, would drive her mad with desire.

Posted by: toastedoats at December 8, 2011 5:17 PM

It makes me sad to feel I'd dislike Alison Brie in real life, also. I try to avoid seeing her out-of-character because I want so much to love her. There just aren't enough goofy, cute girls out there so I like to pretend she and Gillian Jacobs have the same off-camera personality.

@Robert 15 year old me thought that Leslie Grossman was wildly awesome on that show and now you tell me the real story of meekness, frenzied egomania and general berserkitude , young me is saddened ಥ_ಥ
Also, that rick perry ad is shot like you(the viewer) were hiking and just stumbled across him in a clearing, walking and talking like that. The blury edges of the frame suggest he has drugged you, this will not end well. If you're lucky you may escape with your life, if not your dignity

Perry's ... promise to make America more Christian friendly if he's elected president...

I'm a Christian, and I find that man wholly UNfriendly. I don't want his brand of Christian. I fear it involves sponsored bonfires...

Jasmine's waist in that cover is terrifying. SHE IS GOING TO BREAK. Also, does she have no internal organs?
