Eric Trump is a whiny toddler who spills his daddy's secrets on 'SNL' Weekend Update.

0

Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. stopped by the Weekend Update desk last night to talk with Colin Jost about their father's businesses and whether or not their dad has been actively involved in them during his Presidency. And while Trump Jr., who is known to be the more eloquent of the two, artfully evaded Jost's questions, Eric was more worried about getting a snack and juice.

Alex Moffat's impression capitalizes on the fact that Eric has always been seen as the wayward Trump child, trying to find his footing and stake his claim in the Trump dynasty. And boy does he make a great toddler.

As Trump Jr. (played by Mikey Day) continues to bullshit about his father's business, Eric gets continually more needy. First requiring Cheerios and then needing his big brother to help him insert the straw into his Capri Sun. And amidst all of that, Eric does exactly what toddler's do best: repeat bad things that he's overheard at the most inopportune moments. "The only people making decisions regarding the Trump organization are Eric and myself," says Don. "And dad," Eric adds, ruining all of his brother's lies.

It's a great trolling of the Trump family, and a stellar performance by Day and Moffat. Plus, at the very end of the update, Kellyanne Conway in her classic seated position makes a quick cameo. Watch it here:


'SNL' perfectly trolls men who use feminism as a pick up line in this sketch.

0
0

Do you ever get a sneaking suspicion that the guys you meet who claim they're #StillWithHer are using their performative feminism as a way to get your number? Well, in SNL's "Girl at a Bar" sketch we see that just because a guy is wearing a pink pussy hat does not mean he's actually a feminism in his own life.

That's right, just because a guy isn't offended by your "The Future Is Female" tee-shirt, and actually might be wearing one of his own under his zip-up hoodie, doesn't mean his end goal of chatting isn't getting you to jump on that d, ladies. And this is revealed when the first guy who slides in next to her at the bar calls her a b*tch after she politely declines his offer to go on a date following some brief, witty banter. That's the mark of a guy who claims to support women until one of them doesn't give him what he wants.

What's worse is that the next guy, who pulls the first slime away from the bar, thinks he deserves something for "rescuing" her. This classic projected damsel in distress situation is one that Amy Schumer has similarly tackled in her "Hello M'Lady" sketch, in which Amy is aggressively approached by men at a bar who think that she needs help, only to find that their niceness quickly fades when she turns them down. "Oh you can't win," Amy's friend says to her. "But the app does send you a warning text when he's about to angrily turn on you." And that's what we see unfolding in this SNL sketch as well, only this time it's about how politics have become a shorthand way for men to claim they're "good guys" when actually behaving quite badly. Watch the sketch and get angry at the patriarchy all over again here:

This kid started a Rubik's cube trend that got so out of hand his school banned them.

If you're me, Rubik's cubes are fun for about 10 minutes until you get frustrated and give up. But if you're Reddit user dannythetwo, you're able to create a Rubik's cube movement so powerful you get them banned from your entire school.

Dannythetwo says he was homeschooled for 11 out of his 12 years of schooling before going to college, and that during his downtime when homeschooled he dedicated a lot of free time to mastering the Rubik's cube. For the one year that he wasn't homeschooled, dannythetwo went to a private Christian school, and that's where it all happened. " I only played with it during lunch and study hall because I didn’t want to distract other students or teachers. It didn’t take long and I had several people asking me to teach them."

His classmates were in total awe of his skills, and begged him to teach him the ways of the cube. Then, it started to spread:

Since I had several people asking me to teach them, I told about ten people that I would teach them if they brought their own cubes. Within the next week, five or six people had gone out and bought cubes from amazon and showed them to me. I taught three or four people over the course of the next month and one kid even bought a giant cube that was about 10x bigger than normal.

Now, it was a small school of about 150 kids. And that means it spread like wildfire:

Needless to say, a trend like this reaches everyone’s ears quickly. Friends that I had taught were teaching other people who went out to buy cubes and the next thing I knew, lunch time was full of the sounds of crappy cubes twisting and turning as about 15 people had their own cubes.

And while dannythetwo, rule-abiding student that he was, made sure to only use the cube during the allotted break times where it was allowed, his fellow students just couldn't keep their shit together. They were hitting the cube nonstop, trying to figure it out. It got to the point where the principal had to address the entire student body during their daily chapel time, and banned it from being used while in the classroom. Even so, these kids could not handle it. They were hooked on the cube and they could not quit.

Apparently lots of students completely ignored the rule. Either that, or the principal just got jealous that he didn’t know how. Because it was announced that rubik’s cubes are officially banned from the school campus. If a cube was seen anywhere. In or out of a backpack. Cafeteria or classroom, the cube would be permanently confiscated and the culprit gets a detention.

They even dedicated a section of their yearbook to the incident:

What a nerdy little trend-setter. And what an annoying trend.

'SNL' teases inspiring film about a brave Republican who stood up to Trump (but doesn't exist).

0

With Republicans in control of so many local and state legislatures, plus both houses of Congress, it's up to them to counteract President Trump's volatile, ill-considered, and flat-out stupid agenda. But will they ever get around to it?

Definitely not. Yet we can dream of a world in which one high-ranking member of the GOP has enough spine to stand up to Donald and fight for what's right, regardless of party. SNL has the entire biopic movie trailer ready to go—all we need now is a real person to, you know, actually show some moral courage.

Hard to know who should feel more burned: Paul Ryan or everyone else in America.

Someone in Congress is editing Garfield's Wikipedia page as debate over cat's gender rages on.

0

Not long ago, the Wikipedia page for Garfield, the lazy, lasagna-loving cartoon cat, had to be locked down over a 60-hour editing war. At issue was Garfield's gender: Some say he's a he; others say Garfield is neither male nor female.

You can blame Virgil Texas here for kicking off the whole controversy:

Things got so wild that Garfield creator Jim Davis had to weigh in; he said that the character is male, dashing the hopes of the gender-neutral camp.

It seemed the matter was settled at last. Except then we got an alert from the helpful Twitter bot @congressedits, which tweets whenever an edit is made to Wikipedia from one of the houses of Congress. Typically, it's a fun way to see which elected legislator is tweaking their own page, but in this case, well...

And what was that edit, pray tell? We're very glad you asked.

Looks like the debate is still going strong, even if this congressional Wikipedia editor dropped a "he" in claiming that Garfield isn't male. Will we ever have a definitive answer here, given that even Jim Davis' ruling has been disputed?

We just don't know. In the meantime, best not to make any assumptions.

Google Home has a surprising response when you ask it if Obama is planning a coup.

0

As the world of tech is more and more populated by disembodied artificial intelligence like Apple's Siri and Amazon's Alexa, a perennial source of amusement—and disturbance—lies in asking these voices some weird questions.

And it appears that Google Home has an interesting take on what former president Barack Obama is getting up to in his leisure time. When you ask the device whether Obama is planning a coup, you get a wacky conspiracy theory:

As some have pointed out, this is indicative of a larger problem with Google, which tends to privilege factually inaccurate garbage in its top search results.

Fun! Oh, and for the record, Alexa has no idea what you're talking about.

Which really just makes us wonder if she's in on it—and playing dumb.

Watch this basketball coach brutally deny a little kid's shot for a very good reason.

Children and sports go well together. There are so many lessons to be learned on the field or court—the importance of cooperation, persistence, humility in victory, and grace in defeat are all paramount.

Also, at some point, you should figure out which team you're on. Or else, as one future basketball star found out, your coach may savagely block your shot to prevent the other side from scoring. When not even the people yelling "Nooooo!" from the stands can convince you to turn around and run for the other basket, there's really nothing else your athletic mentor can do.

If that doesn't make the ESPN top 10, there's no justice in this world.

Apparently eating Peeps Oreos will turn your mouth—and poop—bright pink.

God knows how anyone digests Peeps. The Easter-related, chick-shaped, marshmallow-approximating foodstuff has ruined many a holiday with its granular coating alone, which sticks to your fingers even when you've only picked one up to throw it away. And the taste? Imagine gauze and silly putty combined.

But none of that stopped the good folks at Oreo HQ from unveiling Peeps Oreos for the season, and, because this is America, where we never back down from a novelty junk food, people happily ate them. Then they made a chilling discovery.

Don't eat peeps flavored Oreos guys... #peepsoreos #peepsoreo #pink

A post shared by Sarah Kistler (@sarahsmil_e) on

OK, so the food coloring made your mouth pink. That's not such a big deal, is it? Let's ask Junk Food Guy, a food blogger who called the cookie "a delicious sweet marshmallow Oreo," whether he experienced a related side effect.

Dude, the creme turned my saliva bright pink! BRIGHT PINK! This is sort of horrifying – this is the type of food dye where an hour later, when I went to brush my teeth, IT TURNED MY TOOTHBRUSH PINK. What the heck. WHAT THE HECK.

That does seem extreme. Still, that's as bad as it gets, right? Right?

Oh my. Of course, without any photographic evidence, it's unclear how pink the poop in question is, or whether this is even really happening. But a statement from an Oreo representative acknowledged the possibility of pink peep poop.

The Oreo Peep limited-edition sandwich cookies contain a bright pink food coloring, FD&C Red Number 3. We use this ingredient in the product consistent with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations. Certain foods can temporarily color the tongue and inside of the mouth. This is common with brightly colored products such as ice pops, gelatins and drink mixes, as well as with certain fruits and vegetables, including beets and cranberries. Such foods can also temporarily color stool.

Consider yourself warned. Unless, like some, you see pink poop as a perk.

You do you, Peeps fans.


More 'Gilmore Girls' may be coming to Netflix, whether you like it or not.

Don't pack away the Pop Tarts and coffee just yet, you may be returning to Stars Hollow sooner than anticipated. According to Time,Netflix has had “very preliminary” discussions with Gilmore Girlscreators Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino about potentially producing a second season of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.

What Dean said.

Although nothing is set in stone yet, the success of the revival series definitely may have lit a fire under the butts of Netflix execs to produce more episodes pronto. Chief Content Officer for Netflix Ted Sarandos told Press Associationin an interview that "The worst thing is to wait a couple of years for your favorite show to come back and for it to disappoint you but they sure delivered and people were really excited about more and we have been talking to [Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino] about the possibility of that."

Now read that long, run-on sentence 10x faster in Lorelei's voice.

Where Amy leads, Netflix will follow.

Gilmore Girls originally ran from 2000-2007, and A Year in the Life came to Netflix in November 2016. Although the revival series ended with quite the cliffhanger, fans were still uncertain if the mother/daughter comedy would continue on. The show's stars Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel are keeping busy with other high profile projects, but if there are more Gilmore Girls episodes on the horizon, hopefully we don't have to wait another nine years to see them.

While you were distracted by the Oscars, Natalie Portman was busy giving birth.

According to US Weekly, Natalie Portman gave birth to a baby girl on February 22nd, and it seems like the 35-year-old actress is sticking to a theme when it comes to naming her kids.

Portman and husband Benjamin Millepied already have a 5-year-old son named Aleph, and the couple named their new bundle of joy Amalia. Besides starting with the same letter, both names have Hebrew origins. According to acient-hebrew.org, Aleph is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, and Amalia (pronounced ah-MAH-lee-a) means "work of God."

The Israeli-born actress announced her pregnancy back in September, and missed this years Oscars due giving birth just days before. She may not have won the Academy Award for playing the title role in Jackie, but giving birth to a happy, healthy baby is definitely better prize.

Here's why people think Obama should sue Trump for libel.

0
0

On MSNBC on Sunday, host Ari Melber offered some resistance catnip with a segment called, "Did Trump libel Obama?" The segment focused on Donald Trump's unbelievable tweets on Saturday, when the current commander-in-chief accused Barack Obama of wire-tapping his phone lines during the campaign.

But it's not just MSNBC who made the suggestion of libel, it's everyone who's been trying to find an opening in Teflon Don's apparently invincible armor.

According to Melber, Trump may have accidentally exposed himself to a strong legal case. To win a libel suit—especially difficult against a public figure—the plaintiff must prove that the statement was false, and that "the person [knew] it was false or was... reckless about whether it was false," according to NBC News.

The New York Timesreports that FBI director James Comey denies Trump's wiretapping claims, which might prove the first point. And if Melber's reports are true, that Trump sent the tweets without trying to verify the claims with his staff first, then that's, to say the least, a bit reckless. According to Melber:

Today the White House says that a congressional investigation is needed to resolve this. So that means on Saturday, Trump makes these charges, and by Sunday his staff says they need an inquiry to see whether if what he said was true. Believe me, that's not good.

But now let's turn to another part of the internet, the humble question-and-answer website Quora, where more anonymous resistors are having the same discussion. There, commenters are weighing the logic of Barack Obama even getting into a legal battle with Donald Trump, who's clearly well versed in the art of the lawsuit.

Writes one commenter, "He might even win the court battle. But he would have slightly reduced his reputation by even playing in the same sandpit with Donald."

But let's say Obama did sue, and he did do battle with Trump in court. According to NBC News, the president has "immunity from civil damages and liability while conducting presidential acts."

So the question might be—are tweets presidential acts?

Stephen King trolls Donald Trump with 3-sentence horror stories on Twitter.

0

Tweeting at President Donald Trump, king of the (misspelled) Twitter rant, is actually pretty fun. The latest person to find that out is horror master Stephen King. On Saturday, writer King sent out a few funny, scary tweets about former president Barack Obama lurking around the White House. This came in response to Trump's (baseless) claims that Obama had his phones in Trump Tower wiretapped before the election.

In Stephen King's tweets, Obama never really left the White House and he's hiding in the closet! If only it were true…

After sending a few joking tweets, Stephen King got down to #realtalk:

"All politics aside, the Trump administration reminds me of that Tom Arnould [sic] movie, THE STUPIDS. Really, you guys, this is embarrassing," he tweeted.

Turns out the truth (the real truth, not Donald Trump's truth) is scarier than fiction.

Adele pauses concert for melodramatic freakout over mosquitoes.

Adele is pretty much a perfect superhuman, but her weakness has finally been revealed: mosquitoes.

At a recent show in Brisbane, Australia, some unwanted visitors of the insect variety joined Adele on stage. Upon seeing the mosquitoes, she promptly freaked the f**ck out.

"I'm sorry, I'm not Australian, I don't like bugs!" Adele yelled as she fought off her intruders. "It was sucking my blood, it was sucking my blood!"

And then she ran away from the mosquitoes, screaming.

Stars: they're just like us!

Trump spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders squirms under pressure when asked about wiretapping claims.

Deputy White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders (daughter of Mike Huckabee, no relation to Bernie Sanders) made the rounds on morning shows on Monday to try and defend Donald Trump's baseless claim that Obama personally wiretapped his phones.

Juppi Juppsen animation loop illustration trump
Actual footage of Trump contradicting the FBI on accusing a previous president of abusing executive power.

Proving herself to be the new Kellyanne Conway in terms of LPM (Lies Per Minute) and attempts to dodge questions, Sarah Huckabee Sanders got totally torn apart by pesky attempts to yank out the truth.

First, on Good Morning America, she had no idea how to handle George Stephanopoulos pointing out that if Donald Trump were indeed under surveillance, "[t]here is a world of difference between an illegal wiretap ordered by a president and court-ordered wiretap approved by a federal judge. There is a world of difference between those two things." Huckabee Sanders responds that Trump doesn't accept FBI Director Comey's words (as per the New York Times) that there was no such wiretapping.

(Credit where credit is due: Huckabee Sanders did have a solid joke. "If the president walked across the Potomac, the media would report that he can't swim," she said, which is funny if you ignore the attempts to compare Donald Trump to Jesus.)

On The Today Show, Huckabee Sanders also got interrogated, just like Kellyanne Conway before her. Sh*t got just as real, Savannah Guthrie grilled Huckabee Sanders on whether Trump got his info on this conspiracy theory from the conservative web site Breitbart, or the president-y sources he has access too like real intelligence agencies.

Alas, the spokesperson told Savannah Guthrie she did not speak to Trump.

Watching Trump surrogates get roasted first thing in the morning is as energizing as coffee.

Emma Watson responds to trolls who think feminists can't have boobs.

In an interview with Reuters, actor Emma Watson said she doesn't understand the controversy around her bralessVanity Fair photo. Quick recap—some people felt that showing (part of) her breasts undermined her message of feminism. But Emma Watson doesn't agree at all.

The 26-year-old actor, who is currently promoting her new movie, the live-action version of Disney's Beauty and the Beast, told Reuters,

It just always reveals to me how many misconceptions and what a misunderstanding there is about what feminism is. Feminism is about giving women choice. Feminism is not a stick with which to beat other women with. It's about freedom, it's about liberation, it's about equality. I really don't know what my tits have to do with it. It's very confusing. I'm confused. Most people are confused. No, I'm just always just quietly stunned.

The newest Disney princess Emma Watson opens up about her metamorphosis from child star to leading woman: http://vntyfr.com/k9slwl1

Posted by Vanity Fair on Thursday, March 2, 2017

She went on to say,

We'd been doing so many crazy things on that shoot, but it had really felt incredibly sort of artistic, and I'd been so kind of like creatively involved and engaged with Tim [Walker, the photographer] and I was so thrilled with how kind of like interesting and beautiful the photographs were.

The Vanity Fair photographs were indeed very beautiful and arty, including the braless one, and Emma Watson knows it. She's going to have to stop being surprised by trolls commenting on her body, choices, actions, relationships, and everything else under the sun, though. Come on, Emma, you're no stranger to Hollywood! It might be time to stop being shocked.


This joke about 'Beauty and the Beast' homophobia is perfect except for one nitpicky detail.

0
0

Two things. Beauty and the Beast will feature at least a passing reference to an openly gay character, which is (somehow) a Disney movie first. Because of this,a movie owner in Alabama will ban Beauty and the Beast, which is (hopefully) the dumbest thing you'll hear in your life.

Hearing this news, tweeters made the same joke over and over again.

And it's a solid joke.

Again, props to the joke. Good joke. But here's the proof everyone's plagiarizing it and rewording it to score their own meaningless internet points. Beast is no buffalo. Well, he's partly buffalo. But his face just as easily screams boar. Or bear-goat. You're telling me everyone's coming to buffalo consensus and on one's saying bear-goat?

Seriously, the joke's good, the joke's on point, and my sincere apologies for doing this. But to set the record straight, there's this article from The Disney Wiki. And again, this is annoying. Beast is not buffalo.

The Beast is not of any one species of animal, but a chimera, a mixture of several animals. He has the head structure and horns of a buffalo, the arms and body of a bear, the eyebrows of a gorilla, the jaws, teeth, and mane of a lion, the tusks of a wild boar, and the legs and tail of a wolf.

I know, and I've already apologized for pushing up my glasses and saying, "well actually" through my nose. But...

"He also has blue eyes, the one physical feature that does not change whether he is a beast or a human," adds the Wiki, which is apparently based on a 2010 interview with the Beast's original Disney animator, Glen Keane, on animation website Animated Views.

In that interview, animator Glen Keane described the genesis of the character.

"I started to draw. I said, 'I like the massiveness of this buffalo head,' and I sketched out the weight... I said, 'But the brow of the gorilla,' and I drew the brow there. 'But then the muzzle of this wild boar,' and then the mane of a lion but the body of a bear, and then the legs of this wolf."

Really, at the end of the day, the Beast is a human. And he's stuck in a buffalo/gorilla/lion/boar/wolf body. I'm sorry. Now go make your jokes, they're great.

YouTube mom Kristina Kuzmic's new video called "How To Fake Your Perfect Life on Social Media" is going viral. It's probably because of how relatable and funny her observations about social media versus real life are. She's also got some handy tips, though, on how to make it look like you're living your best life, even when you're really living your so-so life.

The video includes all kinds of useful tricks for making it look like you've got everything under control, even when that's not even close to the case. For example, want to take a selfie while enjoying a glass of wine in your kitchen, but the room is currently a disaster area? No problem! Just knock all that junk onto the floor and voila—clean countertops! Selfie time!

Of course, if you have real-life friends, they might be able to see through some of your social media tactics. The way around this, according to Kristina Kuzmic, is just to not have any friends other than the ones on social media. Easy!

Go ahead and check out the video for tips on important things like how to take the best selfies, how to make it look like your teenage son still wants to hug you, and how to be the best cake decorator in your family.

I can’t wait to set you up with all the people I decided not to date.

Self-conscious takeout customer writes note to employees defending the insane amount of fried food they ordered.

0

We've all overdone it when ordering takeout. You're just trying to meet Seamless's delivery minimum and before you know it you've ended up with $50 worth of appetizers in your cart. It's nothing to be ashamed of, but someone in Toronto recently felt the need to defend their huge takeout order to employees in the comments section.

Redditor adri164, who works at Frescos Fish and Chips in Toronto, posted this photo of a takeout order they received from the customer, who was clearly feeling a little bit self-conscious about the amount of food they ordered.

The customer's takeout order called for three orders of mozzarella sticks, plus an order of fried pickles. I must say, that is an impressive (gross?) amount of fried food.

The customer apparently worried that the employees at the restaurant would judge them for the amount of food they were ordering, because they included a note defending their three orders of mozzarella sticks in the comments section.

"Yes - I meant to order 3 mozzarella sticks. Please don't judge me," the customer wrote. "I'm having a bad week and was so excited they were back on the menu."

Hey, no judgment here, dude. Though hilarious, the customer's explanation was totally unnecessary. Let this be a lesson to all of us: Follow your heart. Order as much gooey, cheesy, fried goodness as you damn well please and don't apologize for it. Live your truth.

(If you're still worried about people judging you, please at least write a hilarious note in the comments section of your takeout order so that we may all enjoy it.)

Don Cheadle accuses Donald Trump of using the N-word during fiery tweetstorm.

0

Don Cheadle accused Donald Trump of using the N-word during an impassioned rant against the President on Twitter over the weekend. In any other modern Presidency, this would be front-page national news. For the Trump administration, this is just Monday.

Cheadle tweeted that a close friend disclosed to him that Trump dropped the offensive racial slur while golfing with her father.

Not long after Cheadle sent the tweets, Trump fans started refuting the claim. They demanded Cheadle provide proof of the interaction, and while the Ocean's Eleven actor obviously couldn't conjure up video or audio evidence, he did supply this excellent clap back.

Cheadle went on to say that Trump never truly tried to hide his blatant racism, but many choose to turn a blind eye toward it.

Cheadle also defended his friend and her father, explaining that the two didn't come forth with the information initially because they were in such disbelief. He also clarified that the father and daughter have some level of fame, and in order to protect themselves from ridicule, they decided not to go public. However, he did allude to them regretting the decision to stay mum as Trump rose to power.

Don Cheadle is not the first person to accuse Donald Trump of using the N-word (and he is definitely not the first to accuse Trump of other racist acts). Multiple former cast and crew members of The Apprentice have alleged that there is video footage of Donald Trump saying the N-word, but producer Mark Burnett refuses to release the tapes.

Donald Trump has yet to comment on this story, but we will be keeping an close eye on his Twitter.
