    Well, we finally know who's going to be playing in this year's Super Bowl. Ray Lewis and the Baltimore Ravens will be taking on Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers in an east coast vs. west coast, brother vs. brother matchup on Sunday, February 3. And the hype over the game is just beginning.

    In the form of teasers for the (hopefully awesome) Super Bowl commercials, of course.

    Because if you really don't give two shits about the game, that's the best reason to tune in. From mini Darth Vader to Mean Joe Greene to "Bud" "Weis" "Er", sometimes the commercials can be more entertaining than the actual game. I know, I'm about to be struck by lightning -- this is coming from a die-hard Pittsburgh Steelers fan.

    So, now that a few teasers have come out, let's take a look and see if they'll potentially join the others in Classic Super Bowl Commercials You'll Watch Over and Over Again lore.

    It's probably safe to assume one universal truth about all of us: Everyone loves the Toy Story series. When the first film came out in 1995 (holy crap, I'm old), it was a visual and cinematic revelation in computer animation. And damn, was it adorable. When the third one came out in 2010, many predicted there was no way it could top the previous two, but it did. Oh, how it did. I haven't met anyone who couldn't get through the incinerator scene without crying out for their mother.

    But if you thought you were a complete geek about it, you got nothing on Jonason Pauley and Jesse Perrotta. These guys spent the last two years making a live-action version of Toy Story. According to TIME, they used 150 actors (mostly friends and family members), a whole bunch of puppets, stop-motion animation, and the score and sounds from the original film to put this all together.

    The entire glorious 80 minutes of the film were then posted on YouTube a few days ago. And you have to check it out.

    I don't mean to go all Double Rainbow Guy on you, but James Franco made a really, really, really weird video in which he lip-synchs to Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" song and James Franco is sort of kind of totally known for being a stoner and Justin Bieber was recently photographed smoking something that looks an awful lot like a joint and WHAT DOES IT MEAN? TELL ME! OH MY GOD IT'S SO INTENSE.

    Okay, maybe I'm just getting something off the fumes of this video, but what the hell, James Franco. What on earth made him decide to imitate Bieber down to the bangs, whomperjawed flat-brim hat, and hoodie sweatshirt, before prancing around illuminated by flashlights while grinding on his Spring Breakers costar Ashley Benson? It's so ridiculous! It's so immature! It's so bizarre! It's so ... um ....

    Inexplicably hot. Yes. James Franco as Justin Bieber is sorta hot.

    "Baked in a buttery, flaky crust." Can you say that? Could you say it while cameras are rolling? Could you say it while cameras are rolling for the trillionth time, because you've repeatedly biffed the line and your wife's about to smack you over the head with her purse? That's the scenario Sonja and Jack Palmer are facing while filming a commercial for Dysart’s Restaurant in Maine, and the results are so endearing -- and downright hilarious -- the video of their blooper reel has racked up over a million views and counting.

    The couple, who are real-life Dysart’s customers who have been married for 53 years, have a FANTASTIC amount of trouble getting the line right in the video. The best part, though, is when Sonja, thoroughly fed up with Jack's efforts, tries to take over.

    If you haven't already seen this clip, I insist you give it a view -- it just might make your whole day a little more awesome.

    By now you've probably seen the highly disturbing "I Think You Might Like It" holiday music video starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, right? Perhaps you thought that was surely the very worst Christmas creation any celebrity has had a hand in, but you would be wrong. Very, very, very, very, VERY wrong. Because I have discovered what has to be the most demented holiday special on the face of the planet ... and it involves Arnold Schwarzenegger.

    Not just Arnold Schwarzenegger, mind you. Mike Tyson also makes an appearance, along with Danny DeVito, Randy Travis, Scott Hamilton, and a bunch of kids who are still probably receiving weekly therapy sessions from Ah-nold's festive little Austrian story about how HIS childhood Christmases involved a visit from Satan. Not Santa: SATAN.

    I ... I just ... you have to see this to believe it. Seriously.

    "OMG, this place suuuuucks."I think most of us have read a nasty Yelp review and decided then and there never to frequent that restaurant, or use that nail salon, or hire those contractors. Did you ever think, though, that the person who left that review could be sued for defamation by the company they've publicly besmirched? Me neither. But, apparently, it happens. Just ask Virginia resident Jane Perez -- she left an honest, yet scathing, one-star review of a contracting company -- and now faces a $750,000 lawsuit.

    Gulp.

    Well, here's something you probably never expected to see in your short little lifetime. It's amazing, and it involves rapper DMX! Remember him?? Wayyyy back in the day, my brother and I would blast "One More Road to Cross" on our way to school, pretending we could relate to the song despite the fact we were driving in his brand-new Honda through our tiny suburb on our way to our college-preparatory private school dressed in khakis with lunches packed by our mom. So color me surprised (and nostalgic) when the rapper made yet another hit recently ... in the form of him "singing", sort of, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer."

    It really is as bizarre as it sounds, but strangely enough, it's kind of a fantastic version of the classic Christmas carol. He's got charisma, he's got charm, he's ... err, delightful and cute. He even accompanies himself with a helpful nearby tabletop.

    Yeah, it's that insane, but it's only a minute out of your life, and you're actually going to really enjoy it.

    Save-the-dates might just be one of the most fun parts of planning a wedding. Unlike with the invitations, which tend to be more formal and timeless, you get to choose a quirky, lighthearted, creative design that really reflects what you and your significant other are all about. For one couple, Marla and Jonny, that meant a funny play on words: The two sent out a "Shave the Date," with the date of their wedding "shaved" (thanks to the power of Photoshop) into Jonny's beard. Too cute.

    But somehow, their save-the-date went viral, and Marla was suddenly getting attacked online by strangers writing nasty comments about -- get this -- her teeth! The engaged couple talked to Jeff Probst about how it all went down ...

    Is it March 31, 2013 yet? Every Game of Thrones fan has that date marked on their calendars in unprecedented anticipation for season 3 -- which is looking to be the best one yet. Now HBO has released a new production video just to whet fans' appetites a little bit more. And, of course, like most things HBO has done with this series ... it's really fantastic!

    Not only do they show some old, familiar faces, new characters are seen for the first time as well. Quick shots of Jojen and Meera, the Queen of Thorns, even the army of the Unsullied ... winter is definitely coming, and it's gonna be a helluva long one waiting for this season to premiere!

    Everything from the set design to the costumes, even the filming locations look bigger and better than ever. OMG, is it March yet?? Okay, enough chatting, read on for the (spoiler-free!) production video.

    I think we can probably all agree that of the various surprising things about Two and a Half Men actor Angus T. Jones going off the deep end and releasing a "testimonial video" in which he asks viewers to stop watching his show because it's "filling your head with filth," the least shocking thing is that there's already a Funny or Die clip that parodies his newfound spiritual convictions. Although I am pretty impressed they got it posted less than a week after Jones' video hit the web.

    In the Funny or Die version, Matthew Perry spoofs Jones' religious rant, asking viewers to stop watching his NBC show Go On because it's an "abomination" ... but for f*ck's sake, of course he's not giving up his Friends money. He had a spiritual awakening, he's not a f*cking IDIOT.

    Like most Funny or Die clips, it's pretty amusing -- but my favorite part about this one is how it works on so many levels.
