Whenever I find myself at a fancy restaurant (aka, when my parents are in town), my eyes inevitably wander to the most expensive food situation on the menu — and yes, a tasting menu costing several hundred dollars can only be described as a…

You know what? If there's anything I've learned in this life, it's that donuts are delicious and that sometimes, you just gotta dance. You just gotta get up out of your seat and rock it, as hard as you can. Even if you've had a long day. No —…

It's easy to reach a point where you feel like you've seen everything on the Internet, but sure enough, as soon as you think you've reached the End of Things Worth Seeing, the Internet will suddenly be like, "Wait, not so fast!" That's how I felt…

We've seen a lot of Wes Anderson parodies in our time, but this might be our first Wes Anderson-inspired baby announcement. I mean, clearly it was only a matter of time. Honestly, Internet, I'm a little disappointed in your for not having gotten…

Oh cool, another sexist and predatory ad. Can't get enough of those? Then you're going to love this ad from Deep Eddy Vodka, which starts off as your normal booze commercial – snarky aggressive guy doing a blind vodka taste test – but very quickly…
