MTV said today they had pull back on the shot of Seth Rogan and James Franco smoking pot (real or otherwise) at the last minute in yesterday’s MTV Movie Awards because, “It would lead to good times had by all and a further desire to watch music videos and/or put in an old VHS cassette of Beavis and Butthead.” It continues, “It would be a sad day for MTV and a sad day for all the young kids reliant upon MTV for the encouragement of binge drinking and unsafe sex.”

Um, so… They didn’t really say that. And who cares whether they showed Seth Rogan and James Franco smoking weed anyway? Certainly, if I cared, I would have been watching. Here’s the clip if you care to watch it:

Inspired Bored by Entertainment Weekly’s list of the 25 Funniest People In America, I decided to put together a list of the 25 Least Funny Things in America (And Other Places). These are things so unfunny they make living people roll over in their graves (I have no idea what this means. I’m not a comedian, so I’ll stop trying now.) Anyway, here it is: The 25 Least Funny Things In America (And Other Places). Enjoy.

25. Screech from Saved by the Bell

24. Anyone from Seinfeld, not named Seinfeld or Larry David

And/or anyone still making Seinfeld references.

23. Web site “lists”

Lists are for remembering things, not wiping your ass, licking the paper (or screen), and smiling. </sh*tgrin>

Fergie visited The Today Show this morning in order to prove that sexiness begins before the kids go school. Mmm. Think of all the awkward silences around the breakfast table. (Ok, I realize no one actually sits around the table for breakfast anymore, but just bear with me for a minute.)

And then to see Fergie not only butcher Heart’s Barracuda, but writhe around making sex noises in front 10 year old boys dragged to the show by their mothers hoping to get a whiff of Meredith Viera’s perfume. Barra-cooties, anyone?

Maybe Saturday Night Live should stick to doing ONLY parodies of The Office from now on because, seriously, the two Office parodies they’ve done recently, have been two of the best things they’ve done, since, I don’t know, when Will Ferrell left?

Both feature Jason Sudeikis and Kristen Wiig as Jim and Pam, respectively, who do a great job mugging for the cameras. And Kristen Wiig, who has become a star since Rainn Wilson’s SNL, does an amazing Japanese-Pam-laugh. Kenan Thompson does Stanley justice in both, and Bill Hader steps in for Rainn in the Japanese version. I think, though, that seeing Steve Carell say “That’s what she said” in Japanese (I’m pretty sure that’s what he said towards the beginning with Pam) puts “The Japanese Office” over the top — and having Ricky Gervais in support doesn’t hurt either. But either way, they’re both classic moments from SNL.

First off, let me just say that I am a huge Idol fan. I’ve watched since Season 1. I’ve even made friendly wagers on the success and failure of certain contestants. But, alas, my friends, Idol is dead. Idol is dead because:

5) It Is Meaningless Who Wins

Sure Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood are past winners, but so are Taylor Hicks and Jordin Sparks. It makes no difference whether you finish 6th or 1st to determine future album sales. The only reason people at the top tend to do better is because they tend to be better. But once you get to the top 6, even 10, they will have all had plenty of exposure to “make it.” Knowing this as an audience makes the final 6 weeks or so irrelevant (Unless you really want to see your favorite contestant sing an inevitably crappy song at the very end of the show.)

In case you missed it, Man vs. Beast was a Fox TV show in 2003, that featured human competitors trying to beat various animals, or “beasts” as the show called them, in athletic activities. There were many uniquely funny and ridiculous moments on Man vs. Beast but none funnier than when a team of tracksuit wearing midgets raced a camel. Not only is this ridiculous purely for the setup. I mean, brilliant idea. But what makes the clip is the completely over the top announcing. I hope he got paid well for this, because that is not easy.
