Basically. Probably. In a nutshell. Most likely. Surely. Definitely.
We're back!
After a short hiatus prompted by the laziness of our editor (ed. note: Sorry, dudes.) "That Ain't Right" returns!
This is where we scan Twitter for people who say "My Damn Channel" but are in no way referring to us! And through much scientific study (ed. note: There was NO scientific study.) we determined that the correct response to each tweet is "That Ain't Right!" Here we go:
@BeccaMathers , you are preaching to the choir. I was having a little trouble trying to fit the phrase “That Ain’t Right” into this because loving Lifetime is oh-so-very-right. Then it dawned on me, “Lifetime is MY damn channel”? Are you planning on taking Lifetime away from us all and depriving us of the sweet combination of Meredith Baxter Birney and reruns of “Unsolved Mysteries”. Take some other channel like Home and Garden or The CW. Not sharing Lifetime with the rest of us? That Ain’t Right!
@obeyMeBitchez , our hearts go out to you, it seems like you are living a nightmare scenario. Anyone who wakes up from a nap to hear Louie Anderson yelling “Top 6 reasons to eat a sandwich!” deserves a hug. To the people who changed @obeyMeBitchez , changing the channel to a show hosted by the son of satan himself, Louie Anderson?!?! That Ain’t Right!
That lil grl better done gone get enough of changing your damn channel! Grl changing your channel! That ain’t right! For real though lil grl, it sounds like you need some guidance. Changing @Caremel_Beautyy ‘s channel is not the answer to solving your problems. If you need some help, we here at MyDamnChannel are more then willing to listen. If you don’t speak out your problems they will grow inside and come out as hate, that simply Ain’t Right.
@lextasy I think you need a new choice of friends. We here at MyDamnChannel are more then willing to step up and apply to take over. Unlike your last friend we are tall and handsome, only sit where we are told and would never in a million years even think of changing your channel. We also are great listeners and make a Tiramisu that is out of this world. Keeping your old and disrespectful friends around? Does he even know what a Tiramisu is? I bet he can’t tell the difference between a Ramekin and a cupcake wrapper! That Ain’t Right!
WHAT!!! @FinesseYoNigga! You have found your own personal version of Airbud! Sure, he may not be able to shoot the game winning 3 pointer or score the game winning touchdown (See “Airbud 2: Golden Receiver”) but he can change a channel! You must find a way to hone his talents otherwise they will go to waste and That Ain’t Right!
That's all for this edition of
"That Ain't Right"! Will there be one more before the end of 2011? (ed. note:
I promise nothing.)
We're reintroducing a semi-regular feature called "That Ain't Right." We find tweets containing the phrase "My Damn Channel" that have nothing at all to do with us. Amazingly enough, the correct reply to all of these tweets is "That Ain't Right." Try it for yourself. Weird, right?
Here are a few we rounded up this week:
Did someone change @_ambiie‘s damn channel WITHOUT her damn permission!?!?!
This is America, you can’t just change people’s channels without telling them. That Ain’t Right.
That Ain’t Right, @x_Brandi and @_ambiie_ need to get together
and form a support group for people who have had their channels changed. That Ain’t Right.
All these people changing other people’s channels? That Ain’t Right.
It is about time that someone standing up for themselves and protecting their damn channels.
@dridri113, continue to fight the good fight!
Ok @_LaKillah, maybe let's not use such strong language, there are C-H-I-L-D-R-E-N around.
That being said, you are the last victim in a recent outbreak of channel changing crime and That Ain’t Right.
That's all for this week's edition of That Ain't Right! If you'd like to submit a tweet to us, send it to us!

So you want to be in a video with an Internet Celebrity, huh?
Here's your chance:
1. Watch the video above.
2. Be in New York City (mostly around Manhattan) on Tuesday, September 13th.
3. Need a place to go.
4. Tell Mark Malkoff by Tweeting him at
@mmalkoff where you are and where you would like to go.
5. Maybe you a get a Free Cab Ride!
6. Maybe you don't.
7. Try again. Keep tweeting
@mmalkoff and try to get that free ride!
8. Follow
Mark on foursquare to see if he's nearby! (Here's a hint: Your chances of getting picked up are better if he's already in your area!)
9. Follow
My Damn Channel on foursquare since we will be checking in with Mark at some point during the day and handing out some My Damn Chanel swag to people who also check in at this location!
10. Wait patiently for the video to premiere
here on September 28th and see if your ride made the cut!
If you don't get a free cab ride, hopefully you know
how to buy a Metrocard...or may we suggest you invest in a
Big Wheel?

tweeted this tribute to Chris Meloni's
Wet Hot American Summer character, "Gene From the Kitchen" this morning. And it made us think... why hasn't Chris Meloni appeared in an episode of Wainy Days yet? His Law & Order contract is up pretty soon... so we imagine he'll have a lot more time on his hands... so
maybe...right? Right?!
And who else belongs in an episode of
Wainy Days? Leave me a comment!

On August 2 we introduced the world to "Searching for 'My Damn Channel,'" a feature on our blog in which we enter "My Damn Channel" into a Twitter search and post tweets tweeted by tweeters who've probably never heard of us! They're pretty much all mad at something, and that ain't right!
Like @Mr_Primetime24:
Bullshit indeed, @Mr.Primetime24. That ain't right.
@cantbNO1_butMe was NOT happy with DIRECTV:
That simply ain't right. I'm impressed she was able to remember her "please's" and "thank you's" in the midst of these wrongdoings.
Our next "my damn channel"er,
@ExTREordinary_J, also cares deeply about politeness:
That ain't right, @ExTREordinary_J. I don't even want to know who "she" is.
@_ThePilot was more explicit about the source of his anger:
Words can't describe my sympathies @_ThePilot! Unless those words are "that ain't right!"
Twitter won't display older results.
That ain't right.
So today we were all:
And then Steve Agee was all, like, "Yeah! Totally! Retweet (and some other irrelevant stuff)!"
And finally, Rob Huebel was all, like, "Me, too, guys!"
And so then you watched it:

Shark Week on 8/5/2011 10:45:00 AM by Josh Meisel
If you haven't noticed, Michael Ian Black has been hosting Comedy Central's #SnarkWeek. That's right, #SnarkWeek.
If you’ve ever felt left out not being able to participate in Shark Week, then #SnarkWeek is for you. Tweet the snarkiest tweets you’ve got with the eponymous hashtag #SnarkWeek. If they're snarky enough, they’ll be featured on Comedy Central's very snarky stand up page. Snark!
The week culminates with Michael Ian Black’s comedy special “Michael Ian Black: Very Special,” which premieres Saturday on Comedy Central at 11:00 ET. The Comic’s Comic interviewed Michael about #SnarkWeek (the pound sign is very important) here. And as always, you can see Black’s face in this Wainy Days episode, or on our very own Stella Channel.
Today we introduce a new feature we'll call "Searching for 'My Damn Channel.'" Have you ever searched your own name on Google and come up with a bunch of results that have nothing at all to do with you? Yeah, it's like that. Our favorite thing is to search through Twitter for "My Damn Channel" (note that the phrase in quotation marks is the key) and see what amazing people are angry at their television sets and remote controls. It's mind-boggling how many people like to yell at their TV via Twitter.
Today we present @little_booPINK:
Lol, indeed, @llittle_booPINK, that ain't right.
And here's @JennDesi, who's a little angry at QVC:
Seriously, indeed, @JennDesi, that ain't right.
Oh, did we forget to mention that via significant and detailed analysis and study we have determined that the absolute correct answer and response to all of these tweets is "That ain't right?"
Try it:
That ain't right, @sashieeee_!
Or here:
Uh, no, @SimplyLexxis, that ain't right at all.
So, we'll post a few of these on a semi-regular basis from now on. If you see something that we should post, send it to your tired blog writer at Maria [at] MyDamnChannel [dot] com, who writes most of these posts in first-person plural on purpose even though there's only one of her. We think.
(*Actual product will most likely look nothing like this. Also, wings not included.)
Lately, My Damn Channel swag has been flying off the shelves and onto people's bodies at an alarming rate. It seems like everyone wants a new T-shirt in their hands (or on their torso, at least.) After all, who wouldn't want a slice of pie from the larger bakery that is the world of My Damn Channel paraphernalia?
Take My Damn Channel viewser JustNeph... please! When we asked folks to tweet at us with the phrase "I want #MyDamnPen!" Neph responded. And we didn't let his plea fall on deaf ears, hooking him up with not one but TWO My Damn Channel pens, and a MY DAMN CHANNEL STICKER.
And here's our pal Dom Galati donning a sharp new My Damn Channel tee...
And if you want your very own My Damn Channel shirt, you can follow Rocky Rector's example and be the one this week to get the most friends to sign up for our ongoing Versailles sweepstakes. Additional info is here.
Go ahead and sign yourself up, while you're at it. Winner gets a free trip for two to L.A. to meet Versailles (watch it!) co-stars and creators Patricia Heaton and David Hunt. There's only one week left to enter, so if you need to, now would be a good time to buy a working mouse.
