We’ve always been a little skeptical about video game acting, since we’d really much rather play Pacman than have to sit through tiresome (pretty though they may be) interludes with tacky “drama” and trite dialog. Of course, we’re all for the increased interactivity of media, and we have to admit that there’s something appealing to [...]

It’s Monday morning and we presumably all feel a little weary of the week that’s beginning. (Oh, to live in Canada and have the day off for Thanksgiving!) But fear not, for it could always be worse. At least you aren’t (we sincerely hope) one of the poor people in pain featured in Manofest’s epic [...]

Nothing sells stuff like a clever play on words, as most ad slogans and company catchphrases will demonstrate. And nothing sets an otherwise generic store apart from its peers like an unforgettable pun. This is how we ended up with Best Week Ever’s listicle of The 50 Best Pun Stores, which, amazingly, doesn’t include Buy [...]

Underneath its cheap production values, terrible acting and predictable plots, exploitation cinema is among the most important art forms to emerge in the 20th century, with plenty of cathartic, utopian solutions to real world problems that may never go away. You’ll notice as much perusing Complex’s outstanding listicle of The 50 Best Blaxploitation Movies of [...]

Generally we’re a little frustrated by how many of the images we encounter on the street in a given day are commercials, not to mention that most are poorly conceived and thoughtlessly executed. If we were starting a new society (which we do almost ever day, in our mind) the streets of its cities would [...]

You know what the beginning of Fall means (especially on college campuses): football! Seriously, though, the college football that will get us through the next few months is just getting started, and we’re a little overwhelmed with all the statistics and studies that we’re already behind on. Complex contributes another slightly overwhelming set of stats [...]

It’s kind of a slow time of year for pro sports, especially with no World Cup or Olympic Games this summer, but what better excuse to indulge a sweeping sports history retrospective. We suggest Complex’s listicle of The 50 Most Badass Moments in Sports History, which includes some questionable entries like Zidane’s headbutting adventure, but [...]

In our cruel, never-ending quest to make our pets look like us, animal facial hair is an often necessary measure. In a fairly epic homage to that trend, Best Week Ever has assembled a listicle of 50 Animals With Fake Facial Hair, and though some are almost too fake and arbitrary to even count as [...]

We’d like to say that it qualifies as some kind of public performance art, like defacing some symbolic monument whose legacy you disagree with (like the scene in Life of Brian where the titular Messiah defaces the Roman temple), but really the practice of pretending to have sex with statues is just an obvious and [...]

Remember the innumerable flocks of winged murderers in The Birds? Well, those were mostly crows and gulls and it was scary, imagine how terrifying that would be if they were bald eagles or pterodactyls or something. Well, this family is totally unfazed and even feeds the birds that visit them in this vidsticle of 50 [...]
