Today at Gawker.TV,we visit the Jersey Shore, Quentin Tarantino’s new bizarre commercial, car wash revenge, a terrible spoof on Judd Apatow movies, and Obama responds to a call to legalize everything bad for America.
Young Ragamuffin Asks Obama to Legalize Drugs and Prostitution In a town hall meeting today, a student asked Obama if legalizing drugs, prostitution, and other awesome things would stimulate the economy. Obama, ever the square, totally shot him down. Dammit.
Fist-Pumping Jersey Video Re-Affirms New Jersey is Full of Jackasses Jersey doesn’t have self-service gas stations. So people from New Jersey don’t pump their gas, they pump their fists. This video makes that fact abundantly clear.
Quentin Tarantino Right at Home in Nonsensical Japanese Commercial It’s really hard to tell what product Quentin Tarantino is even advertising here. And the language barrier doesn’t make it any easier. It just involves the director, a talking dog, and a samurai suit.
Judd Apatow Parody Rips Hole in Space-Time-Comedy Continuum This movie is an insult to the mouth-breathers who enjoyed Epic Movie. The trailer for The 40 Year Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It, is worse than you can possibly imagine. (NSFW)
Out of Control Carwash Hose Seeks Revenge The carwash hose-underappreciated, taken for granted. Well not anymore. Today is the day the hose stands up and fights for respect, equal rights-freedom. And hilariously drenches two guys in the process.

If you loved Aldous Snow -the crass, morally loose lothario rocker of Forgetting Sarah Marshall – I have very good news: he’s getting his own movie! Aldous (played by Russell Brand) is one of the best parts of that rom-com, and Get Him to the Greek promises even more of his sloppy kissing, grinding, and drug-fueled nights on the town with Jonah Hill as his sidekick. Hill plays Aaron Green, a record company intern assigned to pick up Aldous in [...]
After John Carney issued his annual holiday list of girls to avoid, blogger and editor Melissa Lafsky offered up her response: a catalog of guys that women must avoid at all costs. This originally appeared on her blog Opinionista. Avoid any guy who lists “blogger” on his resume. The reasons to do this are too numerous to list. Avoid any guy who starts a sentence with “If you Google me” Avoid any guy who quotes Judd Apatow and/or refers to his [...]
“I think people look at me and don’t expect much,” Precious star Gabourey “Gabby” Sidibe has said, “Even though I expect a whole lot.” Rapturous reviews testify to Sidibe’s prodigious acting skills. But what should we expect from Hollywood? I decided to ask a few professionals. Raves and nominations notwithstanding, as casting director Mark Bennett (The Hurt Locker, Junebug) puts it when asked for his professional opinion, “Unfortunately [...]

Each winter, with the coming of awards season, the colors of America’s multi-plexes turn from bright pastels to dismal browns and grays as Hollywood strains for gravitas with their takes on the most depressing topics of the day.After a long season of caped-superheroes and cars smashing into things, its probably only fair that we should then eat our vegetables and be forced to sit through a few month of loving portrayals of war, disease, [...]

Am I asleep, because this sounds like a match made in heaven – Judd Apatow (along with Universal Pictures) has just picked up not one, not two, but three comedies starring Aziz Ansari. The yet-to-be-written ideas were pitched by the Parks and Recreation star as well as Jason Woliner, who is on board to direct. So what kind of hijinks are in store? Here’s the rundown:Project No.1: For now, it’s called Let’s Do This, and it’s about two guys who [...]
Angels & Demons Sans the greasy mullet from The Da Vinci Code, Tom Hanks plunges into another three-quarters-baked adaptation of a Dan Brown conspiracy yarn, this one set in the Vatican amid a papal power struggle. Symbolism that goes down easier in the book seems a little stiff on film, but the drama is still a fast-paced lark. Video game geeks will probably be all over the Blu-ray version because it includes a digital copy that you can [...]
Adam Lambert’s crotch-thrusting, face-humping performance did not sit well with many viewers hoping for a staid and wholesome American Music Awards. Unsurprised enough yet? Well here’s another very predictable fact: It was the gay parts that pissed people off. ABC was flooded with more than 1,500 complaints from parents whose kids turned instantly gay at the sight of Lambert kissing his male keyboardist. The very douche-y Parents Television [...]
