Do you watch Workaholics? You should, because its trio of stars, Anders Holm (left), Adam DeVine (center), and Blake Anderson (right), represent the most talented comedic trio since Janet Wood and Chrissy Snow invited Jack Tripper to share an apartment in Three's Company. Working in an ages-old plot context--boyish college dropouts share a house and work in a soul-deadening office--every episode nonetheless feels completely fresh, speaking to our times in a way that recalls the awkward-yet-cathartic truths revealed in movies like Office Space.  Yes, modern life is a drag, but only if you take it seriously.

Superhero movies live and die by their antagonists. The Dark Knight haunted with its amoral, deranged evil in Heath Ledger's Joker. Jack Nicholson's equally creepy but decidedly goofier and more charming Joker enraptured audiences decades before. The Avengers' Loki, played by Tom Hiddleston, may be more popular than his brother Thor, and has inspired countless works of fan fiction from his enthusiastic admirers. And now, Michael Shannon, best known for playing dark and intense characters on Boardwalk Empire, in Revolutionary Road and a somewhat terrifying interpretation of the infamous Delta Gamma letter, has a chance to join this pantheon of excellent comic-book-movie rials as General Zod in the upcoming Man of Steel. 

For those unfamiliar with the term, "hashtag rap" refers to a delivery device in rap where the MC, instead of using "like" or "as a" in setting up a simile, just cuts straight to the word for emphasis. It's a common tactic especially in the world of battle rap, where lines like these (usually "I'll put [x] in a box") have become endlessly parodied clichés in and of themselves. In "Semicolon," their latest video for YouTube Comedy Week, the Digital Short veterans of The Lonely Island riff on the concept, with most welcome help from Maya Rudolph and Solange, who makes cheesy lines like "We run the game/Umpire/we chase the night/Young Squire" sound ever so smooth. 

In a moment that any dog lover, newscaster, survivor – human being – would love, an Oklahoma tornado survivor finds her dog crawling out from under the rubble of her home – right in the middle of a live TV interview.

Being in space is hard for a number of reasons—the loneliness, the lack of gravity, the time away from loved ones, the food. Granted, astronaut food has come a long way since the perception of dehydrated meals and Tang, but it’s hardly gourmet. That’s why the team at Tested—Mythbusters hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman and Will Smith (no, not that one) enlisted a famous spaceman and a famous chef to try out some space-friendly meals.

The incarnation of Seinfeld creator Larry David with which audiences are probably most familiar is his Curb Your Enthusiasm self: clean-shaven, mostly bald and always in the midst of an uncomfortable situation. This perception is so ingrained in our collective cultural memory that most people probably won’t even recognize Mr. David in his latest role, the upcoming HBO film Clear History. In the new trailer for the movie, David appears as a grizzled old man with a yacht-rock-meets-hippie vibe, driving a convertible and belting out Chicago’s “25 or 6 to 4.” Cool.

Ever wonder how Ren & Stimpy got on the air? Why Sam always climbed through Clarissa's window? Who came up with the song "Killer Tofu" on Doug? Me too. And in the spirit of "ask, and you shall receive" is a new book full of all the golden answers to all your '90s-nostalgia questions: SLIMED! An Oral History of Nickelodeon's Golden Age. 

Once again, the Eurovision Song Contest has come and gone, the people of the Eurovision Broadcasting Union nations have spoken and another pop song has been chosen as champion. But while Danish pop singer Emmelie de Forest's "Only Teardrops" ran away with a big victory in the finals, one of the most memorable numbers of the finals wasn't in the competition at all. As part of her hosting duties for this year's contest, held in Malmö, Sweden,  popular comedian Petra Mede was charged with the task of introducing Europe and the world at large to Sweden and its people.
