A Rally Good Time
The Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Keep Fear Alive was a blast, even if it was more difficult to move around than Joan Rivers’ facial muscles. The National Mall was already packed by early Saturday morning, and anyone arriving after 11am couldn’t see the stage.
Despite the stated goal of curbing insanity, at the rally itself, there seemed to be plenty of sanity to go around. Aside from one small, very far-from-Kentucky group of Rand Paul supporters (who were laughing in spite of themselves), there were very few displays of partisan politics or discord. More than anything, it was just an extremely entertaining comedy event. And a way for Jon Stewart & Stephen Colbert to prove that, stoners or not, their fans are more motivated than Glenn Beck’s. According to CBS, their rally drew 215,00 to Beck’s 78,000. And that alone is a great start on the road back to sanity. (Click through for videos & a transcript of Jon Stewart’s speech)

Drunk Ewoks
My favorite moment on television from last Halloween. It’s like, seriously Today Show? If you hire a bunch of little people to dress up as Ewoks, chances are they’re gonna get drunk and f*ck with Al Roker.
Cardboard Signs That Are Golden
Listen up advertising agencies: If your looking to hire a new copywriter you can forget about Careerbuilder, Craigslist, and Monster. You need to hit the streets with a pocket full of nickles to find your new creative wiz kid.
These guys have a wealth of catchy slogans…. they also have a shopping cart….. and that’s about it.

The 3rd Floor
This Halloween, Ryan (BJ Novak) at Dunder Mifflin decided he was destined to be the next Wes Craven, and started production on “The 3rd Floor,” with an A-list cast including Kelly from customer relations (Mindy Kaling) and Erin the receptionist (Ellie Kemper).
Don’t miss the web series that critics are calling, “The scariest web series based on a Thursday night NBC comedy that airs at 9pm so far this week!” And, “If you can’t afford to see Saw 3D, or even the regularly priced Paranormal Activity 2, or even a TV, but you can afford internet service, this is one of your options this Halloween!”
Actually, it’s quite good. Here are all three episodes:

The 13 Worst Knockoff Costumes
Costume companies are the king of changing a name around so they won’t get sued. Meanwhile, the costume is so ridiculously obvious that everyone will call the costume by its real name. You know, the ones that the costume companies stole their idea from.
Just give me a Wonka Bar and cut the crap.

Monster Mask
These days at Halloween everyone is always talking about “sexy” kitten costumes or “sexy” Rand Paul costumes. But what about that old classic, the monster mask? Here’s 30 Rock writer Ron Weiner with a tribute, of sorts.
Bowser’s Minions Get Even
I’ve been playing Super Mario ever since I could hold a controller in my hand, and never have I ever questioned Bowser’s minions. These minions are pissed and make some great points.
