It's Friday and if you're like me, you're ready to wash off the snark (and sweat), drink a pitcher of margaritas because you're a grown-up dammit, and enjoy some honest-to-Bill-Murray happy thoughts.
From the return of one of the best viral video series of all time to 21 photos that...

It's been a long four years, but the wait for a new "Where The Hell Is Matt" video is finally over, and this one's pretty jaw-droppingly great. For fans of viral videos that make you want to hug your neighbor, Matt Harding's oeuvre is pretty much the gold...

Comedy is social commentary. In a totalitarian regime, what’s the first thing to go? Comedy. Because comedy is, by its nature, subversive.
Susie Essman
Many comedians and fans alike, consider the comedy stage a sacred place, where the dark, offensive, sacrilegious and even stupid...

The theme of this week's five reasons to stop being terrible seems to be childhood: whether it's kids doing awesome things, the things you weren't too cool to geek out over when you were a kid, or the single greatest television personality ever being re-delivered to us in the most...

Now that Scott Walker has made history as the only U.S. governor to win in their own recall election, you're left wondering how the vote outcome will affect your daily life.
Not to worry, dear reader. We were there when you needed to know how to...

After multiple Romney campaign typos have made the news -- most of them not nearly as glaring as the "Amercia" mobile app gaffe -- the GOP candidate is finally taking the problem seriously and looking for a new copywriter.
And if this early draft...

It seems like everyone on TV is talking about the Wisconsin recall election, which probably means at some point -- maybe in the elevator at work, in line at Starbucks or at the dinner table -- you're going to have to talk about it, too.
But what if you...

In a week where a horrific act of violence turned into a zombie meme within a matter of minutes, we need to be reminded that there are good things in the world; positive things that are to be enjoyed rather than riffed upon.
Lord knows, I'm no poster girl for...

Our nation's day spas and Etsy artisans were dealt a cruel blow yesterday when news broke that a drug called "bath salts" was behind the Miami "cannibal" attack. Now the Web is saturated with stories about the ultra-dangerous hallucinogens, which can cause the kind of violent...

I can't take it anymore. We're miserable, awful people and we must be stopped. We love our FAILs, our bloopers, our "worst evers". We share animated GIFs of reality television monsters and consider ourselves droll and whimsical.
Shame on us. Shame on me and definitely shame on you. Shame on...

When we heard that "Battleship" was being made into a movie, we immediately had two questions: 1) "Why?" and 2) "Will there be pegs?"
The answer to the first question was, "Shut up," and the answer to the second was, "You bet your sweet ass there will be pegs."

At the risk of seeming insensitive as we approach Mother's Day, I have a bone to pick with everyone out there who has chosen -- or tacitly accepted -- the role of motherhood. Could you please, for the love of God, stop referring to those of us who have chosen...

In 2003, Jimmy Kimmel left “The Man Show,” a high-testosterone homage to the male id, to host his own late-night talk show. Nearly a decade later, “Jimmy Kimmel Live” leads a rare double-life as both a network ratings contender and the occasional Internet meme, thanks...

"Word on the street is you went to see an 8-hour play. WTF?"
I can't decide whether it's a good thing or a bad thing that it seemed completely incongruous to those who know me that I went to the marathon event that is Elevator...

When you think of David Letterman there are probably a few things that immediately come to mind: his top ten lists, his famous late night war with Jay Leno, his post-9/11 return, or even Rupert the deli guy.
What's sometimes forgotten is the host's long-time tradition of breaking new...

Here's a tiny piece of unsolicited advice: if you are a man and someone, especially a journalist, asks you if you think women are funny, SAY NOTHING. It is a trap. Walk away.
If only someone had said this to "Two & A Half Men" co-creator Lee Aronsohn.

Will hoodie control be the next hot-button political issue? It will if Stephen Colbert has anything to say about it.
Both Colbert and Jon Stewart addressed the tragic shooting of Trayvon Martin on their programs Monday night, each with their own unique take. Colbert made the story the...

On a recent Friday evening in New York City, a group of writers and comedians assembled in the SoHo offices of The Onion for "Whiskey Friday," an informal drinks and conversation gathering created by features editor Joe Garden.
