Aaron Paul's Terry Richardson Photoshoot
Photography god, Terry Richardson, recently shot Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul at his studio in NYC. With the show's fifth and a half season premiering on August 11th, you should expect a lot more BB love around these internets in the coming months.
Editor's Note: Terry's Tumblr is pretty great, follow it by clicking the link below.

Conan O'Brien, America's favorite late night funnyman, spoke at the 2013 White House Correspondent's dinner.
Coco took the opportunity to praise President Obama and take jabs at C-SPAN who televised the event.
One of my favorite lines was this one:
“Fox is the jocks, MSNBC is the nerds, bloggers are the Goths, NPR is the table for kids with peanut allergies, Al Jazeera is the weird foreign exchange student nobody talks to, and print media, you’re the poor kid that died sophomore year. Cheer up, we dedicate the yearbook to you.”
That Conan is a funny guy.

Artist bla bla bla did this design of cookie monster as those japanse waves that people post a lot. Idk, something about culture and cookies.
The single worst type of nostalgia is the kind where people pine for life before the internet. It’s the worst because it’s completely and totally ignorant.
I’m old enough to have lived half of my life in a world where the internet was a a novelty that tied up your home phone line every time you connected to AOL or Prodigy, and young enough to have lived half of it experiencing the internet for everything it is today. This means that me and those born around the same time as I was, are uniquely capable of comparing both worlds.
What’s lost in this kind of bullshit (see image above), is that literally everything has become easier. Yes, there’s something nice about holding a physical copy of a book or having a great conversation with a person that you know, outside in a park on a beautiful day. But, now we can listen to or watch literally anything we want, whenever we want. We know within a couple of minutes when a bus is going to arrive at a bus stop. We can order all of our groceries online and avoid the entire terrible supermarket experience. No parking lot, no squeaky wheels, no spills on aisle 4. Twitter and Facebook make it easier to contact most people you’ve ever met, should you desire to catch up or re-connect. Wordpress, Tumblr, etc mean that you can archive everything you write and never need to use an eraser. Erasers are fucking messy and leave grey smudges pretty damn often.
You can go outside, but know when and if it’s going to rain, take a photo without having to wait for expensive film development, and almost never have to remember exactly how to spell someone’s last name.
The most important thing that these bullshit comics forget, is that today you can know almost anything you want, immediately. Our ability to learn new things has been sped up to the point where your phone can tell you just about anything, the moment your curiosity is piqued, WHEREVER YOU ARE.
It’s so silly when people make comics like this and other people share them like they’re true. You’re just mourning your youth and dealing with your mortality. Sorry, that’s life pal. Those times might have been great for you, and you should cherish your memories. But pining for a time when you had to wait on line at the DMV without YouTube or text messaging is dumb, so stop it.
Embrace the fact that today is so much better because of technology. Not by a little bit. By a whole fucking lot.
Note 4/10/2013: I understand that this illustration does more to connect objects used for similar purposes in the past with the technology that we currently use, though I believe that the term “Vintage Social Networking” connotes a negative attitude towards the modern. Also, the context with which comics like this are shared is typically longing for better days gone by.

Check out this awesomely funny review for the Simpsons second album of originally recorded songs, the Yellow Album:
The Yellow Album isn’t an album so much as the most dramatic test of a true believer’s faith since God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. The album dares Simpsons diehards like myself to make it through a harrowing 48-minute gauntlet of ill-considered covers, train-wreck collaborations (Lisa and P-Funk All Stars: oh, it happened), generic synth-pop grooves, and jokes that would be killed in Jay Leno’s writers’ room for being insufficiently edgy.
Look Rachel Bilson bikini shots from Barbados! That’s kinda a tongue twister.

YouTube Celebrates the VCR’s 57th Anniversary with ‘Tape Mode’

Here’s how YouTube announced Tape Mode:
Not too long ago, the video tape was the media of choice for living rooms around the world. In celebration of the 57th birthday of the first commercial video cassette recorder, check out a fun VHS mode for the YouTube player to relive the magic feel of vintage video tapes.

Wait, Mike Myers and Dana Carvey were Fighting?
As a HUGE Wayne’s World fan I’m slightly miffed that I had no idea Mike Myers and Dana Carvey were fighting!
I write “were fighting” because this amazing comedy duo have buried the hatchet. They’ve even made up with Wayne’s World director Penelope Spheeris. What caused all this bad blood? All signs point to Mike Myers:
Carvey and Spheeris both notoriously fell out with Myers despite the 1992 feel-good film’s huge success. Myers blocked Spheeris from directing the 1993 sequel because she’d ignored his edit suggestions on the original (her cut already had tested well). And Carvey felt Myers later stole his Dr. Evil impression for Austin Powers, which supposedly was based on Carvey’s goof on Lorne Michaels.
Dr. Evil was originally Dana Carvey’s impression of SNL executive producer Lorne Michaels! Wow. This factoid could be on Wayne’s World IMDB’s trivia page. But seriously, why did they all make up? MONEY. The three will be part of a Wayne’s World reunion panel on April 23.
Here’s hoping this kinda leads to a Wayne’s World 3.

An interview with Comedian/Writer, Josh Gondelman
Writer and Comedian, Josh Gondelman is co-author of the very funny Modern Seinfeld Twitter account. Tweeting for @SeinfeldToday along with Josh, is the very clever Jack Moore. With over half-a-million followers, the very popular page consists of Seinfeld related storylines, scenarios, jokes, conversations, and much more. The comic’s personal Twitter page is a humor spewing success as well, and was named one of 2012′s best by Paste Magazine.
Here’s a sampling from both:
I’m like the Al Capone of comedy. (Haven’t filed my taxes yet.)

In the interview below, Josh talks about how he deals with writer’s block, his bucket list, and his comedic style.
What three verbs best describe your personality?
Verbs? Okay! Hmm. I’ll go with Overschedule, Overestimate, and Overthink.
How do you deal with writer’s block? (Maybe a nice bowl of tomato soup….hold the goldfish)
I deal with writer’s block like Jason Terry or JR Smith deal with a slump. I just try to shoot my way out of it. It leads to me writing a ton of garbage for a while and then eventually getting back into a productive rhythm. If that doesn’t work, I try to do something different and interesting in life. Go to a museum or a zoo or something. Just to get out of my usual headspace.
What were you like as a child? Were you always so funny, or did your comedy develop later in life?
I was kind of a mainstream weirdo. I wasn’t all trench coats and industrial music, but I was kind of the Screech of my high school. A well-liked dork. I was class president, but mostly because half of the job was writing a funny skit for our school’s variety show every spring. Before that, there’s a video of me in front of my parents’ house telling a long and involved joke to my aunt and getting distracted by an ant halfway through. So I guess I’ve always been interested in comedy.
Are you a fan of child leashes?
Usually I’m not, but one time I saw one at the Grand Canyon, and I was like: “Yeah, that makes sense.”
Name the comedians/writers you enjoy.
Oh, man. There are too many to name. Some things and people that I’ve been enjoying recently are: Emily Heller and Mark Normand’s recent sets on Conan. Myq Kaplan just shot an hour standup special, and that was great to watch. Alex Pappademas’s piece on Beck for Grantland. The Braindead Megaphone by George Saunders. I liked Julie Klausner’s book, I Don’t Care About Your Band a bunch. I’m already excited for the last season of Breaking Bad and Starlee Kine’s recaps, if she does them again. The staff of Parks and Rec does such an amazing job being funny and also sincere. My two favorite books are The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay and Infinite Jest, but I always shy away from starting new epic novels because I’m afraid of committing to them. Ahh! There are so many things. Sorry to go on and on. And everyone who likes dark comedy should listen to my friend Shawn Donovan’s standup album Few Mourn. He’s brilliant. There are a zillion more people I’d like to mention, but I feel like people won’t read a list of names of people that I love.
What is the number one item on your bucket list?
Most of my goals are work-related, so they’re pretty boring. One personal thing I’d like to achieve is to travel somewhere outside the United States where I can put my eleven years of Spanish class to use. I’d probably need to brush up, though, because I have real trouble describing the haircut I want to the Dominican barbers in my neighborhood.
Describe your comedic style using a fun acronym for J.O.S.H.
Jovial Overwritten Silliness Happening
Would you trade places with Betty White for a Day?
Sure! She’s much more successful, financially secure, and well-known than I am. Why not take that out for a spin? If it were forever, I’d probably decline. No offense to her, but I think I’ve got a little more time left on the clock.
What is your favorite Seinfeld quote?
“We’ve got no deal with [the squirrels]!” In contrast, of course, to the arrangement we as humans have with pigeons. I just love that George has these rules about how the world works and plays by them even when they make other people hate him.
What are some creative uses for a bicycle tire?
Junkyard hula hoop. Next level hipster gauge earring. Fashion model tire swing.
What qualities should every bathroom attendant posses?
I like a bathroom attendant who’s quiet and courteous but knows when to give you space. Like you see housewives from the 50′s portrayed on television.
New York City is great, right? What is your favorite thing to do in New York?
It’s so great! My favorite New York thing is being able to walk through the city late at night and buy pizza almost anywhere on the way to the train. I grew up in and around Boston, so the late night pizza and transit options are much more limited, so being here feels like complete freedom.
Thanks, Josh :)
