An interesting theory was proposed on the Daily Show last night concerning the politics in Washington.
Perhaps no one in Congress or Politics is really interested in resolution or ending issues, what they like is conflict. Conflict keeps the money going, conflict keeps the base energized.

The same can be said for Pro Wrestling. Heels or Baby faces. It doesn't matter, so long as the base or the audience keeps paying attention.

Pro Wrestling. Politics. The Daily Show. Come one, you knew we had to share this one.

While Johnny and I were toiling away on our Secret Squirrel project, we had the pleasure of working with Julian McCullough who was the host of the show we were writing for. And while Julian is exceptionally funny, he's also a really nice guy. And so, while you're at home alone this Friday night with that pint of Mint Chocolate Chip and salivating over that tub of petroleum jelly you just purchased, hold off for a half hour. Check out Julian's Comedy Central Presents which airs at 11:00pm EST/10:00pm CST on Comedy Central (obviously). Or hell, just wank it while you watch ... but aim away from the television. I know Julian and your mom would appreciate that.

That it's been 4 years since Lazy Sunday came out is shocking to no end. It's hard to remember a time before C.S. Lewis's masterpiece wasn't referred to as The Chronic (what?) Cals of Narnia. That it took 4 years for Chris Parnell and Andy Samberg to reunite for a live version is deplorable. Luckily, Jimmy Fallon was able to get the boys together (with backing support from The Roots) to perform their popular viral video on Late Night.

Zach Galifianakis is a polarizing comedian. You either think he's absurdly hilarious, or think he's a holdover from a 90's Phish concert. If you watched Saturday Night Live this past weekend, you saw Zach's monologue (embedded after the jump) something I consider to be one of the funnier moments on the show in sometime. While watching the show, it never occurred to me that the oft-bearded Galifianakis shaved his neck warmer before the last skit. The video above sheds some light on how it all went down.

For those who think LOST takes itself to seriously, this should make you smile.

There's more action going on in this Italian newscast than what's in the script. The staff has been asking for a real news set for years, and now they just might get one!

(Thanks, Bryant Woods!)

The death of Andrew Koenig, who played Richard "Boner" Stabone on Growing Pains, is incredibly tragic. I can only imagine the pain his family is feeling, and their search through Vancouver for him in the days leading up to the discovery of his body was heart-wrenching.

And while we'd never make fun of someone's death, it does afford us a unique opportunity to ... um ... use his nickname for horrible purposes, especially when adding "my" before the name. Such as:

• I wish I could see my Boner one more time.
• My Boner will never get up again.
• They found my Boner in the park.
• I lost my Boner in Vancouver.
• My girlfriend was always a big fan of My Boner.

Or... if you want to, you can add "Kirk Cameron" before the nickname:

• Kirk Cameron's Boner died in Canada.
• Kirk Cameron's best friend Boner has gone limp.
• Tragedy struck Kirk Cameron's Boner.

See? It's sick fun. Give us your best Boner shot in the comments section.

The Emmy for best music and lyrics will probably not go to Family Guy for this Down Syndrome date song which premiered Sunday night.

(since this may get pulled, I put the Hulu version on the jump.)

Looks like it's that time of the year when jewelry world converges into one venue to celebrate that which is known as NBA All-Star Weekend. In honor of this year's event, let us reflect on King James and his sense of humor. Enjoy....

The Bachelor.

Jesus.

According to this report, ABC's "The Bachelor" was January 2010's No. 1 Program in Total Streams. 17.5 million Total Streams.

I guess that just goes to show you that people love shmaltz.

At least now I know what my assistant is watching all day.

Anyone here with a juvenile sense of humor? Don't worry- after all, it's just TV!

The final season? Does anyone care anymore? I've never seen an episode of Lost, but I recall a few years ago the other contradictors here at YBNBY were all gaga over this wonderful TV series. If you don't believe me, use the search feature and see how much was written about it. They told me you have to watch it from the beginning to get it, so I never bothered. Five seasons later, no one talks much about it at all. Are you guys still keeping up with it?

Our favorite sniper (social commentator) Charlie Brooker is back.

Here, he breaks down the news and the best way to produce a field report.

Brilliant, again.
