Ahem.
The New York Giants won Super Bowl XLVI with a "butt touchdown:"

We would like to go on record to say that we believe this "butt touchdown" may have been inspired by Daily Grace's
special Super Bowl cheer:

But our FAVORITE part may have been Madonna's halftime show because it felt like her costume was an homage to someone very familiar:

Daily Grace knows LOTS about football* and she spent all week telling you how to have some fun on Super Bowl Sunday.
1. Learn about Tom Brady and Eli Manning. For example, only one of these quarterbacks is Team Edward.*
2. Learn all you can about football. Just, you know,
in general.
3. Learn what to eat at a Super Bowl party! At least, we
think it's edible.
4. Learn a Super Bowl cheer! Be a cheerleader. And be aggressive. "B.E. AGGRESSIVE."
Hope these Super Bowl tips help! Good luck to [insert name of team of your choice here]!
*These things may not be true.

It's back! It's back!
Wainy Days is back with all new episodes! Here are some reasons we're jumping up and down right now (Really. We are. Right now. We promise.):
1. David Wain knows how to bring the hot girls.
It's true. David Wain's past adventures have included Rashida Jones, Elizabeth Banks, Amanda Peet and Megan Mullally. If there's one thing we've been missing in our lives, it's a reliable source of HOT GIRLS.
2. Erinn Hayes and Lizzy Caplan.
Two ridiculously hot girls. This is different from number one because we're being specific. Okay, so maybe it's a subdivision of number one. What are you our English teacher? (
Seriously, is that you, Mrs. O'Neil?!)
3. Jorma Taccone.
A member of The Lonely Island, director of MacGruber, and probably one of the few men on the planet who can make this face in a song called "J--z In My Pants" and have millions of women think it's adorable:
4. David Wain.
We're so happy that between writing and shooting Childrens Hospital and making a movie with Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston and touring the country in honor of Wet Hot American Summer, David could find the time to get himself into a Fiat and drive around with old friends like Ken Marino, Thomas Lennon, Zandy Hartig and Steven Weber to entertain us and make us laugh and give us new videos to watch every Monday when we're supposed to be doing something else at work.
Thanks, David Wain. This Wain's for you:

We have David Wain, Erinn Hayes, Lizzy Caplan, Ken Marino, Jorma Taccone, Zandy Hartig, Steven Weber and a BRAND NEW SEASON of the award-winning Wainy Days starting on December 5th!
Color us super excited! Even if it's a weird color! Like purple or teal! Who would want to be purple or teal?!
But if that's the color of excited, then that's what we want to be! We're THAT excited!
Wainy Days returns with all-new episodes for Season 5 on December 5th!
This is what we've looked like while waiting for this season of Easy To Assemble to start.
Note the large bottle of alcohol on the bedside table.
"You are home. You just don't know it yet."
This season of
Easy To Assemble is all about finding your way "home." And that's a nice idea, right? Home. Where the heart is. Where you hang your hat. Where the buffalo roam. Where you sometimes have to slide head-first in order to beat the throw from left field to make sure you're safe.
Home.
And we're pretty glad that Easy To Assemble's home is My Damn Channel, you know? We like to think that we know original web series better than almost anyone, and Easy To Assemble is one of the best web series around, at least according to the
LA Times. So... while it may have taken a little longer than we originally anticipated to bring Season 3 "Finding North" to you, it feels like going home for us to be able to present it to you now since
This is what we do. This is the caliber of talent we work with. This is how it's supposed to go for us. This is home.
Oh, and there's some "making out" in the
first episode so you should totally watch it just for that.
Here are some interesting facts about Today:
It's the day before
Easy To Assemble Season 3 "Finding North" premieres! Oh! And we have a new trailer for you to watch! What a coincidence!
It's the anniversary of the
1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake aka
"The Last Time the Giants and the A's faced each other in the World Series"!
(Credit: Brant Ward / The Chronicle 1989)
It's
National Pasta Day... which is not to be confused with
WORLD Pasta Day!
It's
Eminem's birthday!
And--yes-- we know this isn't a birthday cake
for Eminem, but it's funnier this way! And this post needs all the help it can get.

As you
may have heard,
Easy To Assemble: Season 3, "Finding North" premieres on My Damn Channel on October 18th.

here.
So we're pretty excited to premiere the first episode on October 18th. Until then, may the lingonberry juice be free-flowing:
