Time-waster of the day: April 26, 2012

Yeah, yeah, #whatshouldwecallWHATEVER. We all know humor is funnier when it’s Brown-specific. (Or involves Furby. Preferably both.) Did you want to be the first to create a hilarious minimalist-themed Tumblr involving recognizable Brunonian situations and awkward GIFs? Too bad, suckers. We hit that shit a while ago, and then again, Gerald-style.

We weren’t alone. The internet is overrun with College Hill-appropriate time-wastin’ GIF lulz. There’s #WhatShouldWeCallBrown (which is awkwardly aligned in my browser… anyone else? Just me?) as well as #WhenAtBrown, whose creators are impressively on top of their Sunday night HBO programming. Props to both for some quality season-appropriate lulz. If you want to stay classy, there’s also BrownGIFs, which does that whole trendy, subtle motion thing.

Want to make your own GIFs? Cinemagram does the whole isolated aspect/nostalgic filter thing for free. Go make your own Faunce steps + iced coffee GIFs. But quickly. We’re already almost sick of them.

Now in its 23rd season, The Simpsons is the longest-running sitcom in American television history. The show continues to make headlines as it surprises its viewers: It recently “dissed” Fox News during Fox’s 25th anniversary celebration and finally revealed what state the Simpsons actually live in (Oregon). So, if you happen to have 48 minutes to spare, here is a supercut of every appearance “Itchy & Scratchy” has made on the show over the past 504 episodes. Enjoy!

Alas, Spring Week is over, and although we hate to say it (or believe it), it’s time to return to reality. There’s no doubt, however, that most of us are not quite ready to go back to real life. Delight in the magic of Dave Binder so you can keep living the dream… and have some inkling of what actually went down yesterday. I see that ’90s garb, but Binder, you’re timeless to me.

Time-waster of the day: April 20, 2012 (Snoop says it best)

At Spring Weekend 2010, Snoop Dogg gave the Brown community some invaluable advice about the three things you should do when you wake up in the morning. If you’ve already brushed your teeth and thanked your lucky stars you’re alive, there’s only one thing left to do.

Maybe they were jealous that they didn’t take part in last year’s flash mob, but the class of ’15 did good things at the ADOCH Activities Fair. The voiceover in the music subtly indoctrinates prospective prefrosh that “Brown is like the token cool mom of the Ivy League. It’s cool, laid back, and lets you do whatever you want.” Sure, why not? Not totally false. At all.

The current season of South Park has been a dark, strange affair, and one of the weirdest moments of the series occurred a few weeks ago, in an episode titled “Cash for Gold.” At one point, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone take us through a painfully long cutscene that shows the vicious cycle of overpriced TV jewelry from sweatshop to salesman to purchaser to Cash for Gold buyers and all the way back again. What takes that sequence out of the realm of weird and into the realm of South Park-weird is Parker and Stone’s bouncy, a capella soundtrack. Viewers of the show soon realized that the song can spice up any sort of travel montage…even one featuring a tractor. Trust us. This is oddly mesmerizing.
