I Love These Maya Rudolph and Danny McBride Awkward Family Photos

God I’d love for the hilarious Maya Rudolph and the hysterical Danny McBride to be my parents. Think about it… I’d seriously be the funniest person ever!

Why are Maya Rudolph and Danny McBride creating their own Awkward Family Photos? Well, these photos are all to celebrate GQ‘s June comedy issue… OK. The why doesn’t matter because they totally hooked me with the picture of McBride with a huge pee stain.

Plus, there’s a Behind-the-Scenes video!

Universal Orlando Unveiled Plans For Simpsons’ Themed “World Of Springfield”

That’s right kids, this summer you’ll be able to experience Springfield. Just like your favorite yellow television family.

Woo Hoo! Springfield, hometown to America’s favorite animated family, The Simpsons, comes to life at Universal Orlando Resort this summer.

The expansive, new area within Universal Studios will be anchored by the mega-attraction, The Simpsons Ride, and will allow guests to enter the world of The Simpsons like never before. It will be the only place in the world where guests can walk the streets of Springfield. It will include a brand-new outdoor attraction, places and foods pulled right from the show and two new Simpsons characters who will make their debut with the new area – Krusty the Clown and Sideshow Bob.

And yes – there will be Duff Beer, brewed exclusively for Universal Orlando.

Yup, you’re going to be able to have an ice cold Duff at Moes, as well as a Krusty Burger. I’d imagine that there will also be lots of Squishy to drink at the local Kwik-E-Mart. 

There’s no word on whether the Seven Duffs will be making an appearance or if there’s going to be a Little Land of Duff ride with hallucinogenic water. Mighty Vin adds “There had better be an Itchy lot and BORT plates.” My fingers are crossed for all of the above. 

In short, I think I’m headed to Universal Studios in the near future.

The Great Mystery of The Regal Cinemas Roller-Coaster

Before every film screened at a Regal Cinemas, there’s a nifty Roller Coaster video that plays. It’s like a last minute reminder about the concession stand and about shutting off your cell phone. It’s silly and kind of useless, but it’s something we accept because it was wedged into the movie-going experience. 

If you don’t have a Regal by you, it’s cool. You probably didn’t read this far anyway. If you did, I’m impressed, and you can watch the clip here. 

Recently, some detectives at Chud.com discovered something really weird in the promo. There’s a mechanism (see above photo), possibly connected to the roller-coaster, and nobody really knows wtf it does:

Surely you’ve noticed it- that seeming innocuous metal… thing slowly descending and ascending, only to make that BAWMP sound as it touches the opposite surface. What is it doing though? What function does this piece of machinery serve within this cosmic roller coaster? Does it merely produce energy, or is its purpose more nefarious?

Perhaps it is the digital drumbeat by which all of the robot slaves that operate this coaster time their operational rhythm..?

Weird, right?

I must admit that this post is more interesting to me because I worked at a Regal cinemas for about 5 years. So, I’m probably more interested than most. 

I wonder if you guys have any guesses as to what it does. Do you?

You’re All Doing It Wrong

Just like the old dude said at the Webby awards. 

Do You Remember When the X-Files Killed Homer Simpson?

That slightly puzzled look on your face means you had no idea that there was even a Simpsons/ X-Files crossover! No, I’m not talking about the Springfield Files where Mulder and Scully visited Springfield. Come on man keep up. 

Here’s the gist of the opening scene from the first episode of season six entitled The Beginning, according to Redditor, plezmoid:

A guy walks in the control room and finds his colleague, a middle aged , overweight bald man, wearing a white shirt with short sleeves, sleeping on the job. He then refers to the sleeping man as Homer, asking him if he was asleep. Homer answers he “was just thinking” “That would be a first” says the goodie-two-shoes employee. Homer is then sent to check out an over heating pipe , only to find an alien organism nesting in the warm embrace of the power plant. In a stroke of brilliance Homer pokes it with a wrench and , as you might have gathered , is shortly after killed.

And of course I have Wikipedia (which we all know is always correct) backing him up:

One of the nuclear power plant workers is named Homer, a reference to Homer Simpson, one of the main characters from the animated Fox television series The Simpsons.

Where’s Tobias is Where’s Waldo, But For Arrested Development Fans

I think you guys are going to just get the gist here. Find the Tobiases, then tell you mom so she can be proud of what you’ve accomplished. 

The whole thing is part of Vulture’s ‘Bluth’s Clues’ contest.

The Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Every once in a while, someone on the internet invents something so incredible that we want to declare them king. I think this Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Grilled Cheese, invented by Nick (of DudeFoods), is one of those inventions:

Anyone who has eaten at Red Lobster knows that the best thing on their entire menu is the one that comes before your meal. Yep, I’m talking about the complimentary Cheddar Bay Biscuits that are delivered to each table upon arrival.

As delicious as the biscuits are though, I recently came up with a way to make them even better! Now, I know that you’re probably thinking “But Nick, how can Red Lobster’s Cheddar Bay Biscuits possibly get any more delicious!?” By making an entire loaf of Cheddar Bay Bread, slicing it up and using said slices to make a grilled cheese with even more Cheddar cheese in between them, that’s how! I call my creation the Cheddar Bay Grilled Cheese Sandwich!

I’m having trouble typing this because I’m drooling all over my keyboard. I would imagine that you guys are doing the same…

Well, why don’t we do something about it? I mean, the recipe for this incredibleness is right at our fingertips over on DudeFoods. Go make them, eat them, and become a better person.
