As the decade comes to a close and we start seeing an explosion of listicles about the last ten years, we here at Listicles labs are predicting an overwhelmingly sad, scary and disappointing summary of the aughts. We imagine that this will be an especially inescapable verdict for all things environmental, as we’ve done a [...]

Well, it’s officially Halloween week, and there doesn’t seem to be much point in being stingy with our Halloween listicles, so we’re giving them out by the handful now. First off, we’re loving Joy Hog’s listicle of Saturday Night Live’s Top 10 Halloween Sketches, and since we’re still working on a costume, we especially appreciated [...]

We claimed we were going to hold off on Halloween-related posts, but with just over a week to go that seems pretty pointless now. Plus, today’s Halloween listicle is really clever and creative, and may have helped us find our costume for this year. Graphic designer Charlene Chua has made a series greeting cards depicting [...]

When it comes to music, few things (aside from great music) win us over more effectively than a beautiful, clever or ambitious music video. Here are music videos for groups and artists we’ve mostly never heard pf before, but because they were able to put together these 10 Marvelous New Music Videos, they’ll forever be [...]

We once thought that the funniest prank anybody could ever pull on an unsuspecting friend was the old box-inside-a-box-inside-a-box birthday gift, were what seems like a huge present turns out to be multiple layers of packaging with nothing at the center (or coal at the center, in the Christmas version). Now, our taste for comedy [...]

It’s Sunday morning, which feels a lot like a blooper reel at the end of the week, left-over time that is of no use to anyone but might get a few cheap laughs for those with nothing better to watch. Appropriately, this makes Sunday a great day for watching funny outtakes, which, happily, are increasingly [...]

Not all sports involve shooting one thing into another, but certainly most of the good ones do–sorry, pole-vaulting. Appropriately, every time someone makes an amazing shot (like the guy from Texas A&M, or Roger Federer) bloggers must compare this new feat to its forerunners, which is how we got Hail Mary Jane’s listicle of The [...]

Though we fastidiously maintain that it’s much, much too early to be doing anything Halloween-related, we’re also suckers for robots. And so, one of our most long-standing sci-fi weaknesses has won out over one of our seasonal qualms, and here we are posting a Halloween listicle more than two weeks before the day. But seriously, [...]

As you may have heard, recently, Fox announced its intentions to develop a television program based on the popular blog Texts from Last Night, which will be the most fractured and disjointed TV show ever, but might work in a trashy-beautiful-basket-cases-being-naughty kind of way. At any rate, pending that project, the good people at Complex [...]

Cartoons these days are pretty complicated–weird Japanese creatures, kids with dangerously spiky hair, a comic taste for wacky non-sequiturs. Things got so out of control that we stopped paying attention, like, two months ago. We pine for the simpler times of decades past, when shows were clearly terrible or brilliant (and never confusing). Most of [...]
