Time-Traveling to Your HEART: Baby Tardis

Great White Snark — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 04:08:46 +0000

I’m mostly indifferent to all things Doctor Who, but I know that many of you Who fans–and I’m not necessarily looking at those of you with two X chromosomes… much–will absolutely blow your stacks under duress of adorbz when you see this kid whose packaging- and graphic-designer daddy made him this baby Tardis out of corrugated paper.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

Via Mateo and Me, who resents me for using adorableness to create duress.

Watch This, It’s Weird: Fringe Opening Credits in Firefly Style

Great White Snark — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 13:30:37 +0000

Thematically and stylistically, Firefly and Fringe are almost completely dissimilar.* But what they do share is the adoration of plenty of geeks, and–starting January 28 21, 2011–a time slot in the Friday night “death slot” at 9pm on Fox.

Fringe‘s premiere episode on that date is even titled, “Firefly,” ’cause, hey… shout-out, girrrrrrl!

Anyway, here’s a recut of the Fringe opening credits in the style of Firefly that some clever nerd made. It’s jarring and strange to see these two properties mushed together, but you’ll love it anyway. Because you are (a) a geek, and (b) easily amused.

Via Reddit, who has made a career out of “jarring and strange.”

* Although I’m sure an ardent nerd would love to tell me how I’m wrong.

YESSSSSS: Community’s Paintball Fight Meets Battlestar Galactica [Video]

Great White Snark — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 05:52:46 +0000

If you’re a fan of both Community and Battlestar Galactica (and why wouldn’t you be, you insidious Communist?), you very well might wet yourself over this brilliant mashup, so get the adult-sized diapers ready.

I’ll wait. (They’re in the cabinet under the sink. No, not the kitchen sink. The bathroom sink. Ha, it’s funny when you forget where you put things. Silly.)

Via Joel McHale, who has no idea where you keep your adult-sized diapers.

Beam Me Up, Captain Fancy Pants: Victorian Star Trek

Great White Snark — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 19:00:55 +0000

Thanks to a bunch of vintage photographs from the Victorian era and the skills of professional Photoshop ninja Rabbittooth, Star Trek looks even more dated than it usually does.

But at least the sets don’t look fake any more.

Check out the full gallery for your full dose of anachronism-powered amusement.

Um, You’re Doing It Wrong: Captain Kirk Gives a Kissing Lesson [Video]

Great White Snark — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 13:30:47 +0000

Well, this lesson on kissing from Captain Kirk in the video below might explain why so many of you Trekkies are virgins.

Especially his signature move at the end.

Wow, she really FELL for him.*

Via The Awesomer, who thinks the lesson was bad enough; there was no need for me to punish you further with a terrible pun.

* This was the terrible pun.

Let’s face it: even if this Zoidberg costume were terrible, you Futurama nerds would still fawn over it.

Oh, Star Trek: Captain Picard Wedding Cake [Geeky Cake]

Great White Snark — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 17:16:26 +0000

Yet another reminder that Star Trek nerds continue to procreate.

Sigh.

More Bad News, Trekkies: Worf Is a Klingon Punching Bag

Great White Snark — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 15:30:51 +0000

Here’s seven minutes of Worf getting his ass kicked.

Who’s your Klingon hero now, Star Trek nerds?

I believe the Vulcan word for this is “pansy”.

So This Is Good: LOST’s Hurley Sings Onstage with Weezer

Great White Snark — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 18:00:50 +0000

This happened earlier this week. It is pleasing. I offer it to you as a reward for not doing anything in particular to annoy me* in the last 24 hours. Congratulations.
