Yeardley Smith takes us through a typical work day in a completely unscripted way in which I’m sure nothing is exaggerated or fabricated for comedic effect. Thank goodness.

I love The Simpsons, really I do, and we don’t normally post things on the site to knock them but I figured some people might get a kick out of this. The show creators decided to do their own take on the Harlem Shake, called “The Homer Shake,” for their couch gag this week. It doesn’t quite work. But I do give them credit for trying to be relevant, they aren’t know for being able to pull together current items like this because of their animation schedules, and because Lisa is reading a book titled, “Last to the Party.”
I guess this means this whole thing is done now, right?

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic airs a very special episode tomorrow on The Hub in which the lovable and charismatic Twilight Sparkle is changing. To find out how much, we spoke with the talented woman who provides her voice on the series, Tara Strong. Hear what she had to say about Pony fandom, the upcoming Teen Titans Go!, and the one animated venue she’d still love to visit.

If you’re a Benedict Cumberbatch fan, you probably already know he does a mean Alan Rickman impression. Well, the creators of The Simpsons have decided to utilize that talent for this Sunday’s Valentine’s-themed episode. Not only does he voice Severus Snape, he also does the Prime Minister. Unfortunately, the video is not embeddable, watch a clip over at Entertainment Weekly.

The oldest dinosaur in the world has been found, but paleontologists didn’t discover the fossil (y’see, because it’s really, really old and also because it’s a literal fossil… oh, shut up, I haven’t had my mocha yet) at some Jurassic Park-esque dig. Nope. It had just been squirreled away in a closet for some 50-odd years.
In the store room the Natural History Museum in London, to be exact. The remains were dug up in Tanzania in the mid-1930s and were studied for several decades before being put into storage. Recent study dates the new species, called Nyasasaurus parringtoni, at between 247 million and 235 million years old, making it between 10 and 15 million years older than the next-oldest dinosaur we know about.

Artist Mike Mitchell, who goes by Sir Mitchell, took it upon himself to play around with Kal-El’s iconic image from the cover of Superman #6 from 1940. Thanks to his “fun little side-project” we get to see what the Man of Steel would look like as pop-culture characters like Harry Potter, The Tin Man, Charlie Brown, and more (plus one bonus astronomer). We think they’re pretty great. Take a look for yourself.

The opening credit sequence for The Simpsons has changed throughout its 20+ year run but one thing has always stayed the same. Well, sorta. I’m talking about the classic couch gag that ends each one. It’s a new idea every time and now Fox would like to hear your ideas. The incentive? It could wind up on television.

Whether it was the kid’s idea or their parents, we’re thankful for kids cosplaying at this year’s Comic-Con International in San Diego. Why? Because: 1.) it gives us hope for future, epic, cosplays. 2.) They’re frakking adorable! We think we’ve rounded up a pretty nice collection for you too “oooh” and “awww” at. Take a look! (And if you missed our gallery of impressive adults, check that out too!)

"SHARKS. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the uterus." - A thing I just said in chat, sans context.

In a perfect world, that would make those men MORE sympathetic to women when they talk about objectification of women in media.
Susana Polo
But really the take away from this is that two seconds of quickly covered up Chris Hemsworth stomach makes some men feel objectified.
Susana Polo
Good to know that a broad trend across much of visual media has effected one man, in one shot. We can all go home, sexism is over.
Susana Polo
Whenever we bring up objectification of women in modern action movies, people always bring up the one shot of Chris Hemsworth shirtless.
