Excellent Star Trek Parody

(YouTube Link)

This parody of the recent Star Trek abomination makes more sense than the original. But it does need more lens flare.

Kirk: Scotty, we need more explosions!
Scott: You bet your hairy ass, Captain!

Goofus and Gallant in the 21st Century

Goofus and Gallant is an educational comic that has appeared in Highlights for Children since 1948. It contrasts two boys, Goofus and Gallant. Gallant has good social skills and Goofus poor. Here is a comic illustrating the two boys in a hilariously and increasingly dystopian 21st century. I had to break it into three pieces to get the picture to load properly.

Here's part 2 and here's part 3.

I've Waited My Entire Life for This Moment

"The only thing that can stop this asteroid is your liberal arts degree."

It only gets better from there:

I don't need some pencilneck with four Ph.D's, one-thousand hours of simulator time, and the ability to operate a robot crane in low-Earth orbit. I need someone with four years of broad-but-humanities-focused studies, three subsequent years in temp jobs, and the ability to reason across multiple areas of study. I need someone who can read The Bell Jar and make strong observations about its representations of mental health and the repression of women. Sure, you've never even flown a plane before, but with only ten days until the asteroid hits, there's no one better to nuke an asteroid.

Sh*t My Darth Says

Sh*t My Darth Says is a parody of Justin Halpern's wildly successful Twitter feed Sh*t My Dad Says, in which Justin just types in the stuff that his cantankerous elderly father says. In this Star Wars version, Luke Skywalker tweets the crazy things his Sith father says. (via Johnny Cat)
