No, this is not a listicle of awful haircuts procured at discount hairstyling salon Supercuts, it is a compilation of some of our favorite “supercuts,” a web meme that involves splicing together every instance of “x” in “y.” So, for instance, every death in The Sopranos. Most of these are featured on Waxy, and several [...]

It’s surprising sometimes how disproportionately evil and scary the bad guys in cartoons often are, like the terrifying and gross Gargamel from The Smurfs. Does he really need to be a creepy old, bald man in black with one tooth? Couldn’t he just be a big red smurf or something? At any rate, while perusing [...]

Clever illustrator Olly Moss is at it again, distilling pop culture phenomena to fun, image-based lists that make dissecting and pinpointing motifs and themes so much simpler. Moss’s latest looks at the supernatural world of spirits, and how some of our favorite ghosts from TV, movies, video games and more have spawned entire genres of [...]

Today is International Animal Rights Day, and as we contemplated what we might do on this occasion, we realized that the animal rights movement doesn’t really have a proper mascot. There’s the WWF panda, of course, and PETA’s, um, radical activists, who we love, but what about a nice figurehead? We held some auditions (in [...]

Fun fact: Ball-bearing roller skates were patented exactly 125 years ago today. Since then, they’ve become something of like pop culture shorthand for all things fun, fast, young and groovy. In addition to frequent appearances in movies, roller skates pretty much make any activity, however mundane, much more interesting. On this special occasion we intend [...]

We’re not sure what’s more enjoyable about AdFreak’s listicle of the 10 Best Celebrity Computer Ads of the 80s: It could be the arcane language used to pitch prehistoric computers to a hyper-computer-illiterate audience; It could be the fun of seeing old celebrities hawking really awkward and unsexy products; or it could be some combination [...]

If you live in the United States, you probably ate an inordinate quantity of food yesterday, and maybe feel a little stuffed now–if you live elsewhere in the world, presumably you ate yesterday, and maybe you overate? In that case, you probably feel like the food you abused yesterday is getting back at you, but [...]

The famous clip that featured the debut of Mickey Mouse as we know him, Steamboat Willie, first aired on November 18, 1928, making today Mickey’s 81st birthday. (He appeared in Plane Crazy six months earlier, but that version of the character, considered by many to be more interesting, was scrapped and re-worked for Steamboat.)
He’s now [...]

Sesame Street was broadcast for the first time 40 years ago today, and has since become as intimately bound to American life as hamburgers and guns. As such, the show has had a perfect vantage to observe and lampoon most of the great cultural milestones of the last 4 decades (most recently, Mad Men) and [...]

Few things stir our nostalgic hunger for the 90s more effectively than the imaginary smells wafting from the restaurants that often doubled as hangouts for our favorite TV characters of the time. That’s just the odor BuzzFeed is after with their listicle of the Top 10 Fictional Burger Joints of the 90s, which features Krusty [...]
