Bill Maher Unbaptizes Romney’s Father-in-Law

You may have heard last week that the Romney family did an extensive conversion job on the family of his future-wife, Ann Davies Romney, before they tied the knot. Her father, Roderick Davies, a Welsh immigrant, engineer, entrepreneur, and mayor of Bloomfield Hills, MI, was a staunch atheist who regarded organized religion as “hogwash” and insisted that his kids be raised without religion—which they were. Roderick was the only holdout in his family and eventually took his non-belief to the grave, but that did not stop the Romneys from baptizing him into the Mormon faith a year later.

Luckily for Roderick, Bill Maher had his magic wand and wizard’s hat handy to undo the spell cast by his in-laws. Last night on Real Time, Maher performed the first atheist unbaptism ceremony so that Mr. Davies could rest in interminable peace:

Samsung Galaxy Tab Alternative Commercial

Samsung has been doing a bang up job making fun of Apple lately, so maybe this parody was secretly leaked by some Apple fanboys. Who knows? There’s nothing like finding someone who believes their own hype, and taking them down a notch.

Counterstrike Map of The Office

Somebody with approximately 500 hours of free programming time on their hands made this masterpiece. Bet you didn’t realize you knew the blueprint of a tv show office so well:

It may or may not be consistent with this alleged floorplan for the Dunder Mifflin office. (click for full size)

Star Wars Dog Choir Barks the Imperial March

This is actually supposed to be a commercial for Volkswagen, but really the people at VW were out to raise the bar on the cuteness overload from their hit Superbowl commercial last year. Consider it mission accomplished:

Here is the commercial that got all the buzz last year:

C-SPAN Caller Wants to Know About Mitt Romney’s Big Penis

C-SPAN is such a good troll target that I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often. As far as live stunts go, it still falls far short of the jilted lover who gives a speech about his ex-girlfriend while sitting next to her.

Ted Williams & His Golden Voice One Year Later

Remember Ted Williams this time last year? He’s the formerly homeless panhandler who was living on the streets of Columbus, OH, but had an amazing set of pipes for voice work. He went viral and found instant fame, but quickly fell back and rediscovered his demons. Well, a year later he’s sobered up and apparently has his stuff together. Entertainment Tonight pats itself on the back fills us in with a one year update that’s totally not about them I swear.

Charles Barkley Calls His Weight Watchers Gig a Scam

It’s a new year, so no doubt you’ve seen countless commercials for gyms and diets all over your tv and internet. Charles Barkley is on the bandwagon as Weight Watchers’ new pitchman–but maybe not for long. He’s really just scamming his partners for the free product.

Of course, he’s talking about how getting paid by Weight Watchers is a big scam. Sure you are, Charles.

Here’s one of his Weight Watchers’ ads. Still not a role model:

Snoop Dogg Helps Out on The Price is Right

But when the contestant heard his estimates, she figured he was a little high.

Transformer Takes Out Candlestick Park [PIC]

No, not Megatron–he plays for the Detroit Lions. Just before last night’s Monday Night Football, a transformer near Candlestick Park blew out and darkened the entire stadium. The 49ers still crushed the Steelers handily, 20-3.

Urkel Was Ahead of His Time

Urkel was a dressing like a nerd before dressing like a nerd was cool. He was on some tv show, you’ve probably never heard of it.

Congratulations on Your Big Hooters

They are better looking than Hoosiers anyway.

Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill Visits Cheers

Here’s something you don’t see so much these days. The Speaker of the House–and Ronald Reagan’s arch nemesis in statesmanship–Tip O’Neill made a guest appearance on Cheers, circa 1983. O’Neill’s district was in Massachusetts, and Cheers was the hit tv show of the day. Can you imagine Boehner or Pelosi pulling off something this cool without taking a ton of flack? Newt Gingrich was a hot item with SNL a decade later, but not exactly for his swag.
