We rarely take any pleasure in laughing at something quite so tragically pathetic as fast food restaurant customers and employees being victims or perpetrators of senseless violence, but we thought we might make an exception for this Ranker listicle of 13 Violent Meals at McDonald’s. As we expected, it turned out to be just as [...]

We were in a gang fight once. Well, we saw one. From really far away. It may have been a rugby team practice… At any rate, we much prefer seeing gang fights in movies than in real life, where they tend to be less well coordinated and more confusing. Indeed, one of AMC Movie Blog’s [...]

For an art form that, originally at least, was all about telling the party people how much better you were than the other guy, girl, or crew, rap has lost some of its edge, mostly by going overboard with beefs, battles and disses, cheapening the concept so that now it serves as a marketing ploy. [...]

Though they cannot quite compare to, say, firefights, aerial battles and lightsaber duels, there are few things quite as exhilarating as a good, gourmet food fight with all the trimmings. Of course, having never actually participated in a real, live food fight (our gear is much too fly for that), we’ve had to satisfy our [...]

Few things, you’ll surely agree, are more exciting than a swash-buckling big-screen battle of sword-wielding opponents. As with actual human history, some of the greatest and most significant disputes in film history have been resolved at sword-point. The rich canon of bladed throwdowns gets a loving tribute in Gunaxin’s listicle of 10 Memorable Movie Swordfights, [...]

Obviously, talk shows are generally a totally depthless and unexciting genre of television that pretty much never registers a blip on the old excitement-meter – all the planned and approved questions, teleprompted jokes, applause signs and elaborately choreographed “surprise” appearances. Every so often, though, a meticulously planned late evening’s programing can still go awry, as [...]

We’ve never been big on baseball, but like NASCAR, we understand the appeal of a hobby with such an obvious potential for pain and injury. In fact, the only time we really watch baseball highlights anymore is when we’ve heard about a good fight (like the recent Red Sox-Tigers throwdown) or a painful pitch gone [...]

This year’s fairly spectacular NHL Finals are headed down to the wire, with the Detroit Red Wings and Pittsburg Penguins now duking it out in a best-of-three deathmatch (game one of which is tonight!). Pro hockey ain’t always so spectacularly tense, though, as The Angry T’s listicle of 12 Awkward NHL Fights demonstrates. The worst [...]

We never really understood the Pokemon thing, nor did we feel particularly moved to try to wrap our heads around it (although one of our cousins once bought us a Pokemon Game Boy game that was totally awesome, thanks cuz). At any rate, now that that fad is over – or rather, has mutated into [...]

It’s about time somebody made this listicle, ’cause we’d had it just about up to here with all the noise about Christian Bale’s on-set, on-tape flip-out. We especially appreciate Underwire for their quick recap of the Bale meme and their thorough historical exposé of disastrous on-air, on-camera and on-tape freak-outs. Not only do they cover [...]
