Have you ever wondered why dating show hosts are always weird and awkward? I hadn't, until I watched the new sketch, "Dating Show," from last night's episode of Saturday Night Live.

On Hook A Hunk, a fictional MTV dating show, the lucky bachelorette Michelle (Cecily Strong) has three guys to pick from to go on a date. How does she narrow it down and who does she end up with? Well, we never find out, because the host of the show, Ryan, is so hot that Michelle looses all interest in her potential bachelors.

The host, played by John Cena, is calm and collected at first and tries to direct Michelle's attention back to the dating game at hand when she starts flirting with him. But he gets on board quickly, and from there things escalate. When Michelle boldly asks him what he's doing later, he says he "just has this thing to do for an hour," before he's free. It's funny to watch our host Ryan lose all interest in keeping his job and the contestant lose any interest in her potential bachelors, as the two of them fall rapidly and madly in love. Eventually we get to the point where Ryan confesses to Michelle that he had a brother who died, and she suggests they go visit his grave.

All of the details to the sketch are filtered through the tropes from the cheesy MTV dating shows of the early aughts that we all loved to watch (why did we enjoy those nasty black light scans on Room Raiders?), so even though it's easy to tell where the sketch is going from the beginning, it's still fun to watch it happen.

The hopeful bachelors are still crafting crappy puns in an attempt to woo Michelle, who is no longer even listening, when eventually the dejected guys start to comfort each other. Of course, what happens in a world where people seem to be falling rapidly in love within the first hint of vulnerability? They fall in love too.

Saturday night's "Weekend Update" included a visit from crazy lady Cathy Anne (Cecily Strong) who dropped some truth bombs in the wake of Pizzagate. Described by SNL'​s Michael Che as "the woman that's always yelling outside my window," Cathy Anne is probably the last person you'd expect to hear astute political observations from. But she actually has some pretty decent ideas.

Strong's character feels like the type of person we all know: someone who wants to spout off their own disenchanted views on the U.S. political system, despite being a little bit fuzzy on the details. Cathy Anne seems to have a shady past (she references both smoking crack and having spent time in a men's prison), and her low-brow sensibility allows her to make hilarious observations.

Following the recent headlines about the term "Alt Right" being a label we should not allow a group of people who are just white supremacists, Cathy Anne yells, "just say what you are! You're not McCafé, you're McDonalds." It's a hilarious analogy that perfectly sums up what the Alt Right is trying to do: make a crappy thing sound a little less crappy. But then she goes on to say something that completely undermines her credibility in a hilarious way. "I'm not here for a fancy cap-chino. I'm here because I burned some bridges at Wendy's."

The sketch goes on like that, with Cathy Anne making great points about the current political climate, while also revealing that she's a crazy person who really shouldn't be trusted. Plus, her incredulity at the things that have been happening in the world really hit home as something we can all relate to. Plus, there's a great dig in there about Donald Trump's inability to stop watching SNL.

What's in a year? If that year is 2016, an extreme amount of unpleasantness. And as we look forward(?) to the potential reprieve of 2017—which will no doubt be even worse—people are taking stock of just how much the last 12 months have changed them.

It's easy to join in on the fun: Just pick an image that represents yourself in January, when you maybe had some hope for the future, and another that captures all you've been through since.

I think we'd all do well to skip right to 2018 on New Year's Eve, right?

Crazy to believe that 70's rock goddess Patti Smith still gets nervous. But nerves are the reason she gave for forgetting the lyrics during her performance at the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden on Saturday.

Smith was there to perform on behalf of Bob Dylan, who has been a bit too cool for the whole winning the Nobel Prize in Literature thing, since it was announced in October. First, it took him forever to acknowledge that he had won, and then he ultimately decided to not attend the awards ceremony that happened over the weekend. Once again, it comes down to a woman to be able to get the job done. Smith performed an arrangement of Dylan's "A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall" to the room filled with guests being honored from around the world.

It was an emotional moment, and the lyrics felt particularly poignant, as pointed out by Amanda Petrusich in the New Yorker. "In times like these, the Nobel Prize is important," said Carl-Henrik Heldin, the chairman of the board of the Nobel Foundation, in an opening speech. And everyone in the room knew what he meant by that. In the wake of several upsetting election outcomes around the world that felt driven by hate and fear, art feels more necessary than ever. And maybe that's why Smith got nervous and stumbled during the second verse of the song. There's no doubt that she probably felt a huge responsibility to get the song right, to do Dylan justice, and to give some solace to a room that felt heavy. It's easy to imagine that a moment like that would overwhelm you with emotion.

Despite her stumbling, she nails it. Smith is a poetic force like Dylan, who is not known for having a pop diva singing voice or a show-stopping dance routine. The two of them are loved instead for the raw emotions and deep wisdom held within their songs' lyrics and for the earnest, bohemian ways in which they've led their lives. You can watch the full clip of Smith's performance here:

You probably thought that Breaking Bad's science-teacher-turned-meth-kingpin Walter White (spoiler alert) died in the acclaimed show's grisly finale. But since both Saturday Night Live and the Trump administration are immune to reality, Bryan Cranston was able to bring the iconic character back to life in last night's cold open—as Trump's unconventional pick to lead the Drug Enforcement Administration. As White, or should we say Heisenberg, points out, he knows the agency inside and out. Still, we're a little surprised that Trump passed on appointing Avon Barksdale from The Wire.

Pantone sounds like it might be the name of a top-secret government contractor in charge of figuring out life on Mars, but it's actually just a company that created a standardized color matching program. God forbid we all can't agree on what "mauve" actually looks like.

Anyway, each December Panton chooses the Color of the Year, which we are supposed to wear and worship for the next 12 months. The 2016 colors of the year were Rose Quartz and Serentity, and I feel like we can all agree that those shades don't accurately sum up how we felt in 2016.

On Thursday, Pantone officially released the color for 2017: "Greenery." Here are some things that could mean:

• There is money in our future
• We should enjoy some dank herb as the world is slowly engulfed in flames
• All these climate deniers that are being elected into Trump's cabinet will somehow magically realize that global warming is a pressing issue before all the trees are dead

People chimed in on Twitter to react to this meaningless ritual of color announcements. Here are the best gems for your enjoyment, and yes, several of them involve the world being on fire:

Jeff Diggs of St. Louis, Missouri, really gets into the Christmas spirit. Sadly, the same can't be said about a vandal who recently stopped by Diggs' front yard to stab the giant, inflatable Frosty the Snowman there to celebrate the season. Thanks to a security camera, the Grinchy crime was caught on video.

Even holiday-haters can agree that this is bad form, but Diggs didn't take the assault lying down. He posted the footage online in the hopes of catching Frosty's killer, and, when that didn't work, used it to raise money for charity. On his GoFundMe page, titled "Frosty Still Loves You," he describes the suspects and their car—which allegedly bears a Trump-Pence bumper sticker, if you can believe it—and explains that he is taking donations for "Judge Joe Murphy’s Good Kids In Need," a "local St. Louis Christmas charity that has been helping to brighten the holidays of local people and families in the St. Louis region for the last 16 years." See? There's goodness in the world after all.

“This is a nice place to live and I want to try and keep it that way," Diggs told Fox News in an interview. "So if we all at least make everyone aware of what happens, more eyes on the street, more people paying attention to what’s going on, hopefully those kinds of senseless acts will decrease.”

Oh, and don't worry about Frosty. According to Diggs, he "received a total of 9 stitches from the stabbing. He is doing well and recovering from his injury. He insisted on going back to work immediately because he believes in the magic of the holiday season and hopes that all people will come together and learn to love and respect each other regardless of our differences!"

If that doesn't melt your heart a little, nothing will.

"Nobody really knows" whether climate change is occurring, President-elect Donald Trump said in an interview with Fox News’ Chris Wallace, referring to drastic and interrelated environmental shifts like melting ice caps and rising global temperatures that threaten life on Earth as we know it.

Asked about his stance as to the phenomenon, on which there is consensus across 97 percent of scientists who publish climate findings—as in, virtually all the experts agree that it's happening—Trump refused to discredit those who refuse to face simple facts: “I'm very open-minded," he said. "I'm still open-minded. Nobody really knows. Look, I'm somebody that gets it, and nobody really knows. It's not something that's so hard and fast. I do know this: Other countries are eating our lunch." By "other countries," he presumably means some of the 116 nations that have ratified the Paris Agreement, an international pact to "combat climate change," which, again, is absolutely real. Trump has openly mused on the possibility of the U.S. withdrawing from the deal.

Just 39 days until this ignorant liar is sworn into office.

Everyone has that single friend they'd really like to see get together with a special someone—if only so they'll stop third-wheeling you and your significant other. In the days of yore, you could set them up on a blind date, but in the age of hookup apps, what's a wingman who wants more than a one-night stand for their best bro to do?

Well, you might try something along the lines of what Daniel has accomplished here: Snap a photo of yourself, your own boo, and the unattached party, then upload it to a Tinder profile where you plead your buddy's case. Once other singles see that he has friends willing to vouch for him, he becomes 50 percent more likable. Game = changed.

Best of luck to Roger—we're sure he'll enjoy double-dating far more than just tagging along.

The 22nd annual Critics' Choice Awards were Sunday, December 11th, kicking off the very welcome national distraction that is Oscar season. A celebration of both TV and film, the world's most beautiful people showed up, and here are the ones styled most beautifully in their beautiful outfits.

It's officially Oscar season, people! Quit crying about politics and spend your weekends catching up on prestigious movies engineered to make you cry about everything else. The Critics' Choice Awards kicks off the long walk on the red carpet, and these grossly-dressed celebrities should probably fire their stylists before the end of the aisle.

7. Lisa Bonet

10. T.J. Miller

T.J. Miller and a merry band of bellybutton whistlers opened the 22nd Annual Critics' Choice Awards with a monologue that honored the real Sully Sullenberger and the original Broadway production A Chorus Line with some fine choreography.

Miller milked gold out of the Elephant in the Room—the fact that just days before, he was arrested for slapping his Uber driver in a heated argument about Donald Trump.

After a whole bunch of fake-outs, Miller literally hopped on his soapbox to promise he won't make jokes like “Hey, trolls did well this year — not the movie, but dudes on the internet. One them got elected president.”

The opening spiel closed with an earnest call to "emphasize the 'unity' in 'opportunity,'" a handy slogan that looks great on a shirt.“We’re a nation that is broken and anything that is broken can be fixed. TV and film can bring us together. TV, especially, because we are one nation, one couch, one potato.”

Silicon Valleywon their second consecutive Best Comedy Series trophy at the Critics' Choice Awards on Sunday night, but it was Atlanta star Keith Stanfield who gave the acceptance speech.

Having just lost the category to Silicon Valley, Stanfield reached the microphone first and fired off a quick few words before quickly retreating back into the audience.

"I wanna thank everybody for honoring us in this way," said Stanfield. "We worked very hard on Silicon Valley, and here we are. Thank you."

A sort-of miffed producer of the winning show, Tom Lassally, then followed him to the mic, saying, "No idea who that was."

This moment—stealing the spotlight and insisting another entity should have won the award, will forever be known as "pulling a Kanye."

This is of course due to West's infamous interruption of Taylor Swift on behalf of Beyonce, who had "one of the best videos of all time."

If you must "pull a Kanye," it's better to do it this way than to actually pull on Kanye. Don't tug at Kanye. He's had a tough month.

An Australian blogger who is also a mom and also very popular on Facebook, Sophie Cachia, posted a photo celebrating her lack of privacy as a mother. Her photo appears to be, as she puts it, a "standard cute photo" of her and her kid. It is, but it's also taken on the toilet.

To the naked eye, this looks like your standard cute photo of Bobby & I. This photo was in fact captured whilst I was taking a poo. Just thought I'd let you all know. Especially for all those planning on having children soon. This. Is. Your Life. Goodnight.

(And what better way to celebrate a photo about privacy than by sharing it on Facebook, a place where we've been joyfully eviscerating it for over a decade?)

If you don't have a child, the sentiment may shock you a little bit. But many of the internet commenters—a notoriously compassionate people—didn't seem the least bit surprised. That's because Cachia's fans are parents themselves, and this kind of thing makes sense to them.

Ok yes, one of the top four commenters took the time to say "Very weird," but she also followed that up with "Good luck to you, though."

So all in all, people understand this behavior, and to an extent they celebrate it. Very weird. Good luck, though.

Happy pooping, new parents!

Here at Someecards, we love the slick production values, professionalism, and pure charm of Dr. Sandra Lee's pimple popping videos. But sometimes, we like going back to where it all started: dirty, at-home viral videos of people popping their own gross pimples. And today's is an excellent example. This guy had an ingrown hair in his neck that had turned into something so disgusting, you won't be able to look away.

Yuck. That was wonderful.

Australian TV host Andrew "Cosi" Costello wanted to make his birthday party extra-special, using social media to call out to kids who have never received a party invitation.

"I love other people's birthdays but I never really have a party of my own. I don't really like the whole birthday party concept for myself," the host, who seems like Australia's James Corden, told ABC Adelaide.

Then Cosi heard a speech by a woman whose son has muscular dystrophy, and came up with a way to throw a good, meaningful party.

"She finished her chat by saying the hardest thing about having a child with special needs that she's found is ... when she goes to pick him up from school, all the other kids are running around with birthday party invitations and she said that never once has her son been invited to a birthday party throughout his whole life of schooling," he said.

Cosi got the idea to spend his birthday bash with kids who've always been left out.

He snatched up 100 family passes to the Adelaide Zoo to treat special needs kids and their families to an awesome day.

The post has been shared over 7,000 times, with parents and families opening up about what this means to them in the comments.

The birthday bash is on December 17th, and is guaranteed to be one to remember, and a great episode of South Aussie with Cosi.

Kim Kardashian West has been laying low since her terrifying ordeal at her Paris hotel room back in October, but she's back. And she's making Christmas sexy again. (That's what this video is supposed to do, right?)

Kardashian West celebrated the 12th day of Christmas by posing for LOVE Magazine's Advent Calendar. She's wearing luxurious fur coats, lingerie and shoes that this author would probably be unable to walk in and appears to be controlling the Northern Lights with her mind powers.

You can watch the full video (which was directed by Emmy award winning director James Lima) below.

We're glad Kim seems to have recovered from her robbery in time to spread holiday cheer.
