Forget Cats, ‘Ryan Gosling Won’t Eat His Cereal’ Is The Best Thing To Ever Happen To The Internet

Forget Cats, ‘Ryan Gosling Won’t Eat His Cereal’ Is The Best Thing To Ever Happen To The Internet

The Ryan Gosling Won’t Eat His Cereal Vines are without a doubt the best thing you’ll waste your time watching today. They’re also the best thing to ever happen to the Internet. As in the Internet owes creator Ryan McHenry a big thank you for giving them the extra oomph they so desperately needed on a slow week. They’re silly, they’re nonsensical and they’re addicting to look at. Ryan McHenry (who is now #2 on my list of Internet Strangers I Wouldn’t Mind Procreating With list), came up with the idea to create these ah-mazing vines while eating cereal and watching Ryan Gosling’s rom-com Drive. I never saw it, but from what I hear it might as well have been called The Notebook: Part Deux. More »

'How To Lose A Guy In One Tinder' Tests How Much 'Crazy' Men Will Put Up With To Get Laid

It’s a new dating app that’s being billed as “Grindr for straight people,” which is silly because the dating and hook up habits of straight people will never mirror those of gay people so long as women are socialized to want love, men sex, but whatever. Some guys, like my friend [redacted], use it to go on dates that sometimes end in sex because he has a knack for meeting hilarious, weird, sex liking girls. Other, less charming men try to use it like it’s Grindr, with generally poor results. More »

How To Laugh Appropriately In  Django Unchained

Director Quentin Tarantino appears to have decided to tackle every human atrocity, beginning with the Holocaust in Inglourious Basterds, and now, in Django Unchained, moving back to slavery. I don’t know about you, but I am very excited for the anachronistic soundtrack that will be featured in his Spanish Inquisition movie. He’s also doing this really, really well. And as with most movies that are done really well, there are moments in Django that are laugh out loud funny. Unfortunately, that means you are probably laughing at someone of some race dying or seeming very likely to die. No matter when you are laughing, you are laughing at the wrong time. It is always the wrong time. It is the wrong time for three hours of this movie. You are having a Django moment.

Here are some solutions to that. More »

Gallery: How To Live Without Irony

By now, you have probably read that trollsome New York Times article about how a tiny subset of the population (hipsters) is emblematic of a larger first world problem. (No link on purpose!) As with any time a piece of clickbait like that gets lots of play on the internet, my first impulse was to ignore it and go about my life (which is, ironically, rather enriched by irony), but when I realized many of my Facebook friends had found it “food for thought,” I shot myself in the face realized I’d been doing it wrong all along. My ham-fisted efforts at dressing myself and making my friends laugh were undermining the very fabric of society! In an effort to reform my ways, I’ve compiled a list of handy tips for healthy, happy, irony-free living. I hope you will take them into account as you go about your modern life. #authenticity More »
