Butt Touchdown For The Win!

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:




Super Bowl Tips With Daily Grace


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.



Thoughts of the Week


As an avid fan of Super Bowl Champions the Green Bay Packers, I've spent much of the last week celebrating by shoveling as many different kinds of cheese down my throat as possible. True, this is how I mostly go about life to begin with, but the cholesterol choking off my arteries and slowly murdering me has been especially festive as of late.
 
But not everyone was pleased with what went down on their TVs last Sunday. Steelers fans, sure. But music fans also suffered a devastating one-two punch in the forms of Christina Aguilera's freedom-hating National Anthem flub, and the Black Eyed Peas' over-aggressive imperative to "DRANK!" And then there are those weirdoes who only watch the Super Bowl "for the ads." And for these folks there was nothing more controversial and upsetting than Groupon's "save your money"-themed ads skewering celeb activism.
 
Okay, fair enough. A drunken, sports-obsessed viewing audience and a perhaps too-subtle bit of Swiftian satire do not the perfect marriage make. But if you're looking to be shocked, angered, and perplexed by advertising, these videos remain the gold standard...
 
First, we have this cute lil' nightmare factory from famed Japanese artist Takashi Murakami.
  
What is Inochi-Kun? My best guess is ceaseless, unending horror. Don't even think about mushrooms while you watch this, or your eyeballs will start to bleed and white foam will start to come out of your nose.
 
And then there's this gem, from a pre-Muppets Jim Henson, shilling for the now-defunct Wilkins Coffee. 
 
Why is this lumpy little proto-Kermit being such a dick about coffee? What is his agenda? Frankly, I don't like being strong-armed into drinking dirty water. No wonder the Wilkins Company's mafia tactics drove them out of business.
 
But if you're looking for puppets, why not check out the frightening-yet-friendly beasties of Spook House Dave!? 
 
In this episode, the monsters try to cope with Dave's absence while he's away at summer camp. Suffice to say, they don't exactly hold it together. Maybe they just need to get out of the castle. I hear Groupon has some great deals on hot air balloon rides.


American Football

Posted with tags super bowl, sunday, steelers, packers, american on 2/7/2011 8:07:53 AM by Dubs



It's Monday morning. My body is sweating out the alcohol to make a little more room for the residual Doritos and Oreos. The highs of Super Bowl Sunday have given way to the realization that the season is over. And now I have to pretend to like basketball until football starts again. 

The game between the Steelers and Packers was a great matchup between two storied franchises. Exciting until the end, the biggest event in American sports did not disappoint. But how did it look to foreign eyes?

CHECK IT OUT RIGHT HERE.

Looking at the Super Bowl with a non-American point of view has my American ass laughing. Some of the captions are so unintentionally funny, and make it sound like the Steelers and Packers are just old chums having a romp in the schoolyard. I'll let you find your favorite.

Are you ready for some futbol!!!


Super Bowl

Posted in Matt Warren with tags Super Bowl, photoshop, ketchup, wings, football on 2/4/2011 11:28:32 AM by Matt Warren

For the serious sports fan, this weekend is arguably the biggest weekend of the year. The Super Bowl is perhaps our biggest unofficial holiday, providing slobs and stats nerds of every race, religion, and economic background an opportunity to F up some seven-layer dip and blow their paycheck on ridiculous prop bets. But not everyone's into football. And that's fine, because for these people a whole cottage-industry of nonathletic "Bowls" have sprung up to service almost every niche and fetish. There's the Bud Bowl, the Puppy Bowl, the Lingerie Bowl. But why stop there? Here are our ideas for some additions to the pantheon of esoteric specialty bowls...

 


The Condiment Bowl

Watch as Catsup and Ketchup go head to head to determine, once and for all time, which spelling is correct. Don't be alarmed if, at the end of the grudge match, the field is smeared in gooey red liquid from goal post to goal post. That's just, you know, delicious ketchup. Go ahead. Dip your curly fries in there. 


The Soup Art Bowl

Okay, this one's a bit of a stretch, but what about a knock down drag out fight between Andy Warhol's iconic Campbells soup can paintings? Maybe like, I don't know, hot dog bean vs. New England Clam Chowder? Yeah, that works. 


The Sharktocopter Bowl

Just because. Who cares if it's Photoshopped? This picture is rad.


The Saints Came Marching In



Mardi Gras is here (Jan 30 - Feb 16) and The Saints won the Super Bowl.  Mitch Landrieu is the mayor of New Orleans and all seems right in the world.

To celebrate, My Damn Channel threw a Mardi Gras party that was inevitably crashed by our own Grace Helbig and Dave Ahdoot (and ended up being WAY more fun than we intended).  Look out for an all new Grace Crashers - presented by Southern Comfort - coming soon!

That's not all - we were paid a surprise visit by two very special My Damn Channel viewsers (Smokybanjo & Puca) who came all the way from Ireland to join in on the fun.

We don't care what that groundhog said last week, Spring is soooo on the way.
