The wookie god of wine is named Chewbacchus. She could’ve been the most successful deodorant in the world, if only she only would apply herself. If even Jesus Christ allowed Himself a break...

I would love to see the Weinermobile towing the Plantersmobile and the idea is drivin’ me nuts. The shirt is the casing, we are the sausage. This is low-carb life. “Whatcha drinkin’ there? ...

Okay, PENNYWORTH exists, sure, but where’s the grim and gritty prequel about the butler on THE FRESH PRINCE? Like he was Mi5 and had so much blood on his hands, The Crown had to hide him on the...
“Have you ever killed yourself?” Dakota just stared at him, wide-eyed, her very spine reflexively drawing her head further back from him. “I know it’s a weird thing to ask a stranger out loud, bu...

A circus game called “Whaucamole” where the players have to try and smash rising and falling avocados with mallets and if they score high enough, they win guacamole. You, as the operator, get b...

No, the WEIRDEST parody of all time would be of Fiona Apple’s “Criminal” that starts with the line “I’ve been a bad bad Terl / I’ve been reckless on a battlefield called Earth”. Domino rally ...

They’re just gonna keep trying to make Percy Jackson happen, aren’t they? “Until we have the rights to Harry Potter,” some executive says, briefly raising his head from the pile of cocaine, “we...

The more events you have a wall with a bunch of company logos that you can have a picture taken against, as if it’s an awards show red carpet, the less they’ll mean. Soon the stars will have th...

“I mean,” the woman awkwardly corrected herself, “Dad goes by Lennon-Ono, in tribute to my mom, but she passed when I was young, I always felt closer to-” She stopped herself. Why was she being s...
