Proboscis monkeys


Keep it in your pants, monkey!

20080626

Silver foxes


These dead sexy elderly gents reek of money, Brute, and colostomy bags.

20080620

Black tar heroin


This low-rent smack is the Willis to Drummond’s China white.
(Only speculating, Nana.)

20080609

Cloud City pilots


At least Ace and Gary maintained a little ambiguity.

Pant suits


This one-time symbol of empowerment has been reduced to a punch line—no thanks to Hillary Clinton and Dennis Kucinich.

20080605

Foreign toilets


Squaws in labor have had an easier go of it.

20080604

Great white sharks


The jerks of the sea.

Dockers


This brand of trousers generally looks good only on white Anglo-Saxon protestant males playing golf in the early '90s.

Little people


Unlike dwarves (who are strong and loyal) and midgets (who are fine actors and huggable), little people do little more than stew about life's inequities—like roller coaster regulations and coyote attacks.

20080603

Hot girls with a token fat friend


This devious ploy creates an optical allusion that heightens their attractiveness by juxtaposing themselves with acute homeliness. However, some insist this tactic is just an urban legend: namely, Rumer Willis.

20080529

Twins that dress alike


Perhaps the most egregious offense that twins can commit—aside from being Jeremy and Jason London.

20080517

A group of youths


More terrifying than a car full of chemically imbalanced clowns.

20080503

Boogie Boarding


The socially acceptable way to say, "I pee sitting down."

20080502

Sam from Diff'rent Strokes


This bowl-headed sass-mouth did for redheaded stepchildren what "Jaws" did for sharks.

20080501

Plus-size models


Sure, they're attractive. If you account for gravitational pull.

20080429

Townies


A posturing breed of ne'er-do-wells indigenous to A&W and Dairy Queen parking lots and prone to blaring last year's rap hits from the RadioShack woofers in their hatchbacks.

20080428

Scandinavian metal outfit, Dream Evil


These guys are exactly one pair of goggles shy of hailing from Orlando. (I hear that Ritchie Rainbow (left) is the sensitive one).

20080415

Confederate soldier reenactors


This role is as big a stretch as Clay Aiken starring in "Rent."

20080406

Dreamcatchers


The only dreams these things catch are those of turquoise jewelry, Lee jeans, and wolf t-shirts.

20080402

Cylons


Contrary to popular opinion, you can polish a turd.

20080318

Spencer from 'The Hills'


He's like a young John Cusack: Better off dead.
(Not that I've seen the show.)


20080307

The Wave


This thing is as fresh as a March pumpkin.

20080229

Hawaiian shirts


If the sexiest man in the world can’t pull it off, what makes you think you can?

20080222

"Living life to the fullest"


An expression commonly uttered by one who attends DeVry, works at The Sharper Image, and/or subsists on a steady diet of frozen burritos.

20080218

Smooth jazz


This opiate of the urban bourgeoisie has about as much artistic integrity as Florence Griffith Joyner’s fingernails on a chalkboard.

20080208

Betta (a.k.a. Siamese Fighting Fish)


Their mere presence is a sure sign that you’re planted firmly in, or flirting dangerously with, the white trash demographic. Same goes for silverfish.

20080201

Taking a picture of someone taking a picture of you.


I've seen buckets of dirt clods that are more inspired than this maneuver.

20080114

Big Dogs


Clothing for when you finally stop caring.

Manitoba, Canada


And you thought our midwest was boring.

20080105

Sucker punches


These suckers smart! They're also one of the few testaments to the notion that it's better to give than to receive (See also: herpes and the heebie-jeebies). 

20071223

Local funk bands


Gangly white dorks who sing about the hijinks of their gangly white dork friends, and—for some reason—can never land gigs beyond the house parties of their gangly white dork friends.

20071215

'Close' buttons on elevators


I've seen wounded great-grandmothers that work more often than these things.

20071126

Pizza Hut


These shameless hucksters continue to needlessly reinvent the wheel by churning out increasingly absurd variants of pizza so to exploit the whims of slack-jawed mouth-breathers and children that rock back and forth.

20071113

Swedish über-hunk, Günther


You’re better than me. I get it. You don’t have to rub it in.

20071024

Soundwave


He reigned supreme in the 1980’s as Megatron’s right-hand man. But modern audio advancements ultimately rendered his skill set all but defunct—making him, essentially, the Jazzy Jeff to Megatron’s Will Smith.

20071011

Hacky Sack


This game of leisure was originally championed by the tight-shorts and knee high sock-wearing elite. But Trickle-Down Theory Reaganomics enabled the noble heritage to be hijacked by hippies. Dirty, dirty hippies.

20071008

Thomas KInkade


He mass-produces idyllic depictions of idealized, false realities that are calculatedly devised to opiate our senses—making him a veritable Larry Flynt in sheep’s clothing.

20070928

The Future


It's the 21st century and yet instead of robot maids, we have robots that do little more than rob us of our money and our dignity.

20070920

Spotters


If I wanted to get yelled at by a meathead, I'd hide Lou Ferrigno's hearing aids.

20070912

Scooters that pretend to be motorcycles


These counterfeit hogs are about as convincing as a midget on stilts.

KFC Famous Bowls


Like a last meal on death row, this dish was designed to provide momentary comfort to those whose futures are bleak.

20070911

Gallagher Too


He gained notoriety for stealing the act of his sledge-hammer wielding brother, Gallagher. To counteract this affront, Gallagher (America’s foremost authority in the War on Watermelon) refocused his wrath and slapped him with a lawsuit. And thank God. Because we need another Gallagher like we need another Hepatitis.

20070910

Cads


The adorable Cockney accent will only get you so far, you scamps.

20070901

Nunchucks


These relatively ineffective chain sticks are far less threatening than they appear—not unlike whale sharks or Sylvester Stallone.

20070831

Gobots


On a scale of fun, these things fall somewhere between Transformers and cat turds.

20070830

Jonathan Brandis


He carved a niche for himself portraying socially awkward adolescents in B-movies the likes of Sidekicks and Ladybugs. I’m hesitant to denounce him however, because I recently learned that he committed suicide in 2003. So rather than speaking ill of the dead, I’ll abide by the maxim, “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.” With that said, please join me in a moment of silence…

20070828

"I Have A Dog And I Vote" bumper sticker


Thank you for sharing. As for me, I have a microwave and I breathe.

20070827

Jainism


A sect of Hinduism that believes one’s soul will be reborn as a lesser being if they screw up in their current life—as the reincarnation of Chris Farley will certainly attest.

20070822

Fiero


Ferrari’s retarded little sister. The sister that you could probably get.

Necco Wafers


These dime-store-colored-sugar-disks are the most worthless of all grandparental handouts—just barely beating out butterscotch, coffee candy, and shiny nickels.
