Hot Midterm Action
Sure, it’s football season, but who can concentrate on football when it’s midterm election season too? If you said Democrats, score one for you. With the Republicans all excited about their Tea Party candidates, and liberals in a lover’s squabble with their fearless leaders, it all but seems the outcome is certain. Of course, that’s what they said about the Giants and the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. Could Nancy Pelosi be the next Eli Manning?

The Real Fake Housewives of New Jersey
If you don’t watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and therefore didn’t see the blow up on the reunion show, and therefore obviously have no class, you can watch it here (it gets real about 3:00 in). Then check out this parody. Although, when your subjects are more outrageous than any parody can be, is it parody or homage?

Arizona Governor bombs.
No, she didn’t actually bomb anything literally, but she did totally flub her lines on live TV! Which is almost as painful to watch.
Look, we know politicians serve us nothing but canned speeches and sound bites that their handlers and speech writers have prepared for them. That’s usually ok by me, they want to be able to spread their ideas as widely as possible and not look like an idiot. But you still have to have that stuff memorized! And if you don’t then you have no one to blame but your fifth-grade self who never learned your lines for the school play and totally embarrassed yourself in front of everyone you know.
Just be sure you didn’t also enact some highly divisive anti-immigration laws in your state before bombing on air.
Oh… Whoops. Good luck Governor Brewer!

Do The Maths
This faux British educational video tackles the worst subject the human race has ever invented: math. Forgive the bias (I can’t add or subtract numbers higher than nine) but, really, it is. Yet, somehow, this video makes math seem like the best comedic subject short of the Palin family. Well done, old chaps!

Harry Potter and the Douchebag Magicians
What do you get when you mix witches and wizards with idiotic magicians? Something truly hilarious. There is something extremely satisfying in watching these fakes go up against Lord Volde-, ahem, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

Baby Gaga
Before there was Lady Gaga, there was Baby Gaga.
There is something so wrong about this little one dressed like this, not to mention all the scantily clad girls dancing around her. But, hey, we are allowed to exploit our children for the internet…Right? It’s not like she’ll remember this in a few years.

Mean Cuisine
Before the Emmy-winning The Colbert Report, before the Emmy-winning The Office, before even the Emmy-winning (and Canadian Comedy Awards award-winning) The Daily Show, comedy icons Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell appeared together in this sketch. Whether it’s a commentary on people working jobs that aren’t a good fit or on the disgustingness of food (which is pretty gross when you think about it), we’ll leave that for the academics to decide.
