Moment of Who: Texts from the TARDIS & The Hub & The Sexy TARDIS
Posted by mistergroonk in Comics, LOL, Macro on June 8, 2011
Not one. Not two. But three. Three Doctor Who related Tumblrs. Two of them take advantage of the “Texts from ___” meme that we’ve been missing out on. Texts from Pawnee, you’re next on our Tumblr Watch list.
They also harken to fumetti or photonovels, if you will. Photonovels use stills from film or television along with narrative text or word balloons to tell a story. So yeah. Comics!
The odd lady out on this list is the Sexy TARDIS Tumblr. It takes advantage of the much loved(by us anyway) Neil Gaiman written Dr Who episode that aired this year, “The Doctor’s Wife.”
Texts from the TARDIS
What Is It?: Screen caps from all of current Doctor Who series were merged with Texts from last Night. Hilarity ensues. Sexy hilarity.

Texts from The Hub
What Is It?: Some avid TORCHWOOD fan(this remains hard for us to believe those really exist) took Texts From last Night and applied them to scans from the DOCTOR WHO spinoff TORCHWOOD for comedic effect. We gotta say this is the funnest that show has ever been. This includes all the unintentional laughs. But it does not include the “Children of Earth” miniseries which we found quite enjoyable.

Sexy TARDIS
What Is It?: As we mentioned above, Neil Gaiman wrote an episode for the 11th Doctor called “The Doctor’s Wife.” In that gem of television we learn that The Doctor calls the TARDIS sexy when they are alone. Fandom has latched on to this idea with gusto and ran with it. The SexyTARDIS- Tumblr is all about “Sexy” doing its damnedest to take you home for the night. If you know what we mean. Basically it’s inside Who jokes nerds tell themselves during that game of D&D on a Friday night.(This fits us to a ‘t’ only the games are on a Sunday night.)

Thank You, Ariana: Kermit Sums Up Internet Overexposure
Posted by mistergroonk in Animation, Intertube Madness, LOL on March 31, 2011
A lady named Ariana made this for the Internet. We were happy because this is what too much Internet tends to do to our brain.
But we’re back now.
Zod help you all.

Isaiah Mustafa’s Luke Cage Campaign Continues: Marvel’s “The Hero Your Hero Could Smell Like”
Posted by mistergroonk in Comics, Just Freaking Neat on October 13, 2010
We’ve cast the role of Luke Cage in our mind and heart long ago. It’s nice to see that Marvel has not ignored the obviousness of how right Mustafa would be for the part.
Don’t muck this up Hollywood Suits.
Today in Star Wars: Trololord Vader
Posted by mistergroonk in LOL, Music, Video on September 20, 2010
Trolololo is not a meme we ever loved, much less liked. The addition of Darth Vader, finally, made it worth knowing.
Tumblr Alert: Hungover Owls. Saturday Morning Came Too Soon.
Posted by mistergroonk in Animals, LOL on August 26, 2010
We can’t crane our neck without spying links to the Tumblr, Hungover Owls. The old tactic of ignoring them was not working.
The new tactic: acknowledgement and laughter.

The Chive Brags About Trolling The Internet…Again. Internet Responds with Hilarity, Truth.
Posted by mistergroonk in Comics, Intertube Madness, LOL, Macro on August 11, 2010
The Chive trolled the Internet(and us) yesterday with the fumetti of the girl who “quit her job” via a whiteboard email. Why were we taken in so easily by this? Maybe it’s because times are tough and many of us cubicle rats have bosses that are “garbage diSpencers.” Or maybe because reality is strange without it having to be tainted by childish pranks.
Don’t misunderstand. That whole deal was/is more entertaining than anything Internet attempts on April Fools. But reality(we’re looking at you, Steven Slater) is stranger than anything they could ever imagine.
Today The Chive responded about the “wild ride” with another fumetti.
Just know that that Internet backlash can be a bitch.
Let the memetic mutations begin. Feel free, faithful photoshopper, to drop your sentiments in the comments.
AMC Releases Full Cast Picture for THE WALKING DEAD, Zombies Become Cool Again
Posted by mistergroonk in Comics, Marketing, Television on July 15, 2010
The zombie meme has yet to run its course. The zombie meme is getting a bit tired. Yet there are certain shining lights in the old undead girl. The Walking Dead comic being one of those lights.
Seriously, if you have not read it, what’s wrong with you? Get to reading.
Or you can wait for AMC to air their adaptation of The Walking Dead as a TV series. That is if you want to be lazy about it.
UPDATE: Now that we think on it, AMC. We’re noticing some rather blatant omissions from your cast shot.
Well, AMC?

New Meme: Mel Gibson’s Latest Douchebaggery LOLed . Well Done, Internet.
Posted by mistergroonk in Intertube Madness, LOL, Macro on July 8, 2010
Try as we might we can’t block celebrity news from celebrities we don’t give a whit about. Thanks to The Soup we learned of Gibson’s latest verbal stupidity vomit. The real surprise came when folks couldn’t believe Gibson remained the same ass-hat that he was back in his sugartit years.
His racism was nice and sweet back then.
