The hilarious new National Terrorism Strike Force: San Diego: Sport Utility Vehicle, aka NTSF:SD:SUV:: premieres tonight on Adult Swim with the epic first episode, “Mexican Space Shuttle.” So break out the no-doze, because when the clock strikes 12:15 am, NTSF:SD:SVU:: will go from being a fictional television show on the hospital drama spoof Childrens Hospital to real-life police procedural spoof. To put it simply, NTSF:SD:SUV is to CSI what Childrens Hospital is to Grey’s Anatomy.
Like the show it spun off of, NTSF:SD:SUV:: (whose full title looks like it belongs in the now-defunct analogies section of the SATs) is chock full of performers who are no stranger to My Damn Channel. For example, here's NTSF cast member Martin Starr getting all his teeth knocked out by David Wain. Plus, Executive Producer Jonathan Stern is one of the men responsible for both Wainy Days and Horrible People, writing and directing a number of Wainy Days episodes, including this one.
So watch it every Thursday night at 12:15am on Adult Swim!

Thanks to the magic of the internet, every episode of the "You're in Sports" gang's regret-and-gin-soaked shenanigoats is available for free and forever on our Versailles channel, thus completely negating the need to fake your own death and move to a new city under an assumed identity. Besides, such a mad plan would be doomed to failure. If there's anything Evelyn Anders & Co. have taught us, it's that escape from one's past is impossible.
But what's NOT impossible is a chance to actually meet Versailles stars Patricia Heaton (Evelyn) & David Hunt (Colin) in Los Angeles.
How? By entering the Versailles Sweepstakes Giveaway on our Facebook page!
Here's the deal: "like" us on Facebook, then enter as many times as you want to increase your chances of winning.
Plus, every time someone else enters the sweepstakes after YOU invite them, you get THREE ADDITIONAL ENTRIES.
And while you're at it, go ahead and "like" our official Versailles Facebook pages for a full FIVE ADDITIONAL ENTRIES. It's almost obscene how many chances we're giving you to win this.
Complete, lawyer-y entry information can be found here. And follow us on Twitter to keep up to date with all the latest sweepstakes info.

Never let it be said that the Night Feed doesn't contain multitudes. Sure, yesterday we told you about Mark Malkoff's quest to turn his doughy flagon of untoned flab into a rockin' six pack, but today we're taking a sharp left turn away from the world of health and fitness to indulge in another one of our not-so-secret passions: donuts!
Chocolate, sprinkles, glazed, old-fashioned... we're not picky; we like them ALL. And today is National Donut Day -- an actual holiday created by the Salvation Army to honor the battlefield nurses of World War I who coaxed injured soldiers back to health via the medium fried dough food (thanks, Wikipedia!).
And you don't need to be a mustachioed beat cop or having a support group meeting in a church basement to eat donuts anymore. Everyone's doing it, including minor local television celebrities like Colin Tickler (David Hunt), son of legendary B-movie actress Evelyn Anders (Patricia Heaton). Here's Colin extracting some donut innards from Episode 3 of the new My Damn Channel series Versailles...
Sexy, right?! We bet introverted "You're In Sports" intern Sara Wolper (Martha MacIsaac) would agree. So throw away your fertility talismans and Axe Body Spray. Show some holiday spirit by rubbing a glazed donut across your bare chest and smearing your face with custard. The Salvation Army demands it.
Welcome back from another successful Memorial Day weekend. Whether you're still a bit hungover, sunburned, or just plain tired, your problems don't compare to the emotional mess that is
Versailles - Episode #5.
William H. Macy tries to set the record straight about Evelyn (Patricia Heaton) and Sara (Martha MacIsaac) explains why the set of "You're In Sports" is a perfect place for her.
THIS JUST IN - Versailles is featured in a major story in USA Today (page 3D). Click
here.
Who's that at the door? Oh, it's just Randy and Jason Sklar; stars of
Back on Topps, the
Sklarbro Country podcast, and their two man stand-up show - which just happens to be rocking
Gotham Comedy Club tonight and tomorrow (25th and 26th). Great guys who are always bringing the funny. And really, if you don't think these guys are funny then we have nothing to talk about because you clearly don't understand anything about anything.
Click
here for info about their live show at Gotham. Click
here for my favorite episode of Back on Topps.
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.

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!!!

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.
Rob Barnett (My Damn Channel Founder/CEO); Illeana Douglas
