“The secret to Bill Clinton is you gotta sound like a ghost underneath a bunch of blankets.”
- Justin McElroy from episode 92 (“Ten Thousand Throbs”) of My Brother, My Brother And Me. Look, every single episode of MBMBAM has left me convulsing with unbridled laughter, but the Bill Clinton impression stretch from 6:40-7:30 of episode 92 in which Justin utters this...

“I guess the opposite of sexy is Tea Party.”
- Merlin Mann on the latest episode of Roderick On The Line: “Dead Rubber Girl In My Closet”
It’s the tiny moments that almost go unnoticed amongst a Merlin Mann streak of thoughts and words that completely make my day. Roderick On The Line is necessary listening for anyone that enjoys anything, folks.

WatchBell Towers: “Scavengers” (directed by Expialidocious)
I’m a little grossed out that someone had to have a mouthful of coins in their mouth to make this possible, but this is still one of the more creative videos I’ve seen in a while. Oh, also, it’s a bit NSFW at the tail end.
