Listicles

Weekly Wednesdays

Every Wednesday we catch up with the relentless Internet list cycle (”listycle”?) with this themed list of lists from the past week.

Oscar Listicles

Oscar Listicles

The annual movie media blitz session came and went with surprisingly few surprises. (Do we say that every year?) With this last little rush for our Weekly Wednesdays list-of-lists we’re officially putting the Oscars to bed for the next ten months.
Sleep well exhausted golden man, know that even though you gave it up to some [...]

Weekly Wednesdays: The Historical Listicle

Weekly Wednesdays: The Historical Listicle

Another week has gone by and another slate of listicles we can barely keep up with has been published. Even with the addition of our list-submitting service, The Listocracy (start submitting lists today!), we’ve been unable to cover the Interweb’s perpetual cycle of lists. In this edition of our list-of-lists survey, Weekly Wednesdays, we chronicle [...]

Weekly Wednesdays: Valentine's Day Listicles

Weekly Wednesdays: Valentine’s Day Listicles

We had this incredible idea for a great Valentine’s Day listicle that you would have all loved and never been able to put down. It was going to be the most useful, unsentimental, lucid list about love you’d ever laid eyes on. Then we got swamped with other folks’ Valentine’s listicles (”Valensticles“?) and ran out [...]

Weekly Wednesdays: Wacky Design Listicles

Weekly Wednesdays: Wacky Design Listicles

We here at Listicles are pretty devout design buffs, but the Interweb has a way of generating such a wealth of visually stunning design, art and architecture listicles that we really don’t have the time or space to pass them onto you.
Our catch-up list-of-lists, Weekly Wednesdays, is the perfect venue for us to give the [...]

Weekly Wednesdays: Oscars Listicles

Weekly Wednesdays: Oscars Listicles

It’s been about a week since the year’s most venerated, vehemently debated and viscerally detested movie listicle was released, and, not surprisingly, the Interweb’s been abuzz with 2009 Academy Award discussions. Personally we find the whole affair sickening and are completely underwhelmed by the slate of films the Academy has decided to fawn over this [...]

Weekly Wednesdays: Best Presidential Listicles

Weekly Wednesdays: Best Presidential Listicles

For only the second time in these soon-to-be-over aughts, America had two different presidents in one week, giving the Interweb twice the fodder for more-or-less political list-making. Parsing through our online colleagues’ output for our weekly catch-up listicle Weekly Wednesdays, we came across a sampling of the most obscure policy points, tangential pop cultural tie-ins, [...]

Weekly Wednesdays: 6 Green Listicles

Weekly Wednesdays: 6 Green Listicles

For all our efforts to offer you, dear readers, as many environmentally-minded listicles as we can read, the greening of the Interweb is advancing at such a pace that we honestly can’t keep up with all the eco-friendly listicles.
What better way, then, to do justice to all the green listicles (”greensticles”?) than to dedicated this [...]

Weekly Wednesdays: Top 10 2009 Prediction Lists

With our media cycles accelerating to the point of time travel, some great 2009 lists caught our eye before the year even began. More risky than lists that summarize past events, we especially like prediction lists for offering a thrilling vision of what the future might look like. To get an idea of what the [...]

Weekly Wednesdays: Top 25 Year-End Lists of 2008, Part 2

Weekly Wednesdays: Top 25 Year-End Lists of 2008, Part 2

Welcome to the continuation of this epic year-end edition of our listicle-of-lists Weekly Wednesdays. Earlier we looked at financial crooks, corrupt politicians and pop culture blunders (among others), now we look at some equally heavy, and significantly lighter subjects in the second half of Listicles’ Top 25 Year-End Lists of 2008.

Top 10 Spec Ads of [...]

Weekly Wednesdays: Top 25 Year-End Lists of 2008, Part 1

Weekly Wednesdays: Top 25 Year-End Lists of 2008, Part 1

We, like you dear reader, are overwhelmed with year-end lists at this, the very end of 2008. While we at Listicles strive to keep on top of the Interweb’s swirling, churning, micro-climactic list systems, we habitually miss a few, hence the perfect storm that hits our shores in the middle of every work week: Weekly [...]
