People have made a career by simply utilizing their weight as physical comedy. It’s funny because there seemingly aren’t any average looking people in Hollywood. They’re either teenage heart throbs or they’re so obese that they’re the joke to every punchline. Complete polar opposites. UGO has compiled some of the industry’s funniest fat guys, both animated and real life. Click the link to check out the list.

I’m not Superman. I’m not Captain Amazing. Hell, I’m not even an artist. Some drawings take more than 1 week to draw. Simply because you need to maintain your own sanity and take a break. So I decided to go ambitious this week and try a more detailed sketch of Catwoman. Turns out this took a significantly longer amount of time than I anticipated, so about 5.5 hours later, I was only done with the basic sketch. That leaves out the tedious detailing, the coloring, the shading, the gleaming, and the blending. There’s a lot left to be done, but I’m fairly proud of my voluptuous version of the cat burglar myself. Hopefully the finished result will be featured next week.

My Take
Zen from Zen Scribbles posted an article about things she missed from her childhood. Among this list is seemingly the staples of most if not all 90’s children, so me being from the same era, I can identify. Pokemon, Gameboy, Fox Kids, Goosebumps were all my favorites when I was a kid myself. It was a nice and refreshing read to look back at a completely different era. Congratulations on Zen Scribbles for your Weekend Reblog!

Every once in a while, I’ll see something on the internet or come across something while sorting through all my stuff that’ll make me miss the things that used to make up my childhood. Many of these things are either gone, changed drastically from when I was a kid, or else considered not appropriate for my age. I can’t help but reminiscence though. Here some things from my childhood!
1. Doll Houses
I loved playing with doll houses as a little girl. I was an only child for the better part of my childhood, and often I’d find myself playing alone. I used to love playing houses! I had two houses and a bunch of toys that could fit in them and use the furniture, and often I’d spend hours playing pretend games with them and trying to get them to go about their lives. Thinking about it now, it’s…

If there’s anything Weekend Funnies have taught me, is that not everyone has the same sense of humor. But the internet is a generally a collection of everyone and the sheer compilation of the wit and humor that each individual contributes essentially represents the most broadest and generalist appeals to mankind. So when I choose the 24 images for each Weekend Funny, I know the reason I think it’s funny will be at least funny to some percentage of the world. And even if the it’s the smallest 1%, 1% of 7 billion is still 700 million. So I apologize if you’re offended, disgusted, or upset. Truth be told, if you can’t handle these 24 images, you likely shouldn’t be on the internet anyways. So stop worrying about racism, sexism, and other means of being upset. Just keep scrolling, and remember: no one’s looking, it’s okay to smile at something someone would frown upon.

I admit, this isn’t videogame, movie, nor is it tv related. But I thought it’s generally neat how amazing this thing is [next thing you know, Banana Scoop will be covering technology and gadgets haha…Uh oh, we kinda already do that don’t we? Lol.] But otherwise, this image just screams awesomeness for several reasons. 1) It’s made of Lego and Bionicle. Trust me, I know those pieces, I played with those things for a better half of my life. 2) The movement is so seamless that it must be some sort of Graduate student’s final project or something like that. Not only does it perform the task it asks you to do, it also lowers and raises it, and is designed to look somewhat attractive. How do you begin to code something like this? I’ve only taken one Computer Science course, but the sheer mechanics of this are mindboggling…
Keep watching in it’s awesomeness and then proceed immediately to buying a Rubix cube to prove you’re smarter than a machine.

Well it may not happen any time soon with the still terrible Mario Bros. movie fresh in my mind, Shigeru Miyamoto has stated his interest in continuing to bring Nintendo names to the big screen. With Pokemon being the most obvious of hits, continuing its trend as one of the longest running and most popular cartoons to date, Nintendo also hit a home run with the Animal Crossing anime, which has also spawned a cult following. The article I linked to only has a single thought from the genius that gave us pretty much everything we want from Nintendo, but that one statement is enough for me to get my hopes up. Will we get Link and Zelda on the big screen? Maybe even Samus Aran clad in her power suit. Only time will tell.

Sometimes you can’t help but notice and say, “Hey I’ve seen that guy in at least 3 other movies this year”. I like to think for most actors that doing one year should be more than enough to pay off that year’s bills and still live in a luxurious sense. But then I see some actors that do 2 or 3 movies in one year, I think to myself: not only are you loaded, but you must be absolutely exhausted. How are they able to deliver such powerful performances when they’re doubling, tripling, or even quadrupling characters in one period of time. Forget Daniel Day-Lewis [who takes years for him to get into character], get these peoples Oscars or some sort of award quickly, because they definitely deserve it for their versatility. So below is a list of actors who did multiple movies in the same year and were able to deliver awesome performances in them. Be sure to remind me of the many that I missed in the comments section below!

The Walking Dead redeemed itself in its season 2 finale. And from everything I’m hearing it’s gearing up to be the most exciting plot line next. Warming Glow has compiled a list of 3 reasons why: the new characters introduced. We got a glimpse at one of them, the sword wielding figure in the hood, but who are the others? Click below and find out why the Walking Dead may have its best season yet.

In another life or dimension, I would’ve been an animator. I love to draw and craft stories, and doing little quirky and clever things like this would bring me great pleasure in life. However, the engineer’s life called out to me so I’m instead spending my life studying and solving the world’s problems. But enough about me, let’s get back to his neat animation. It’s fairly long, so if you’re in the middle of it, give it moment to reset and watch the thing in full. It pretty much plays on the cleverness of Tetris and the surprise ending definitely won’t be something you expected.

From artist Boo21190, whose stylized as Anna Rettberg has created quite possibly the best collection of television characters as they hang out. I want to play a game with you, how many can you possibly name? After staring intently for 2-3 minutes I was able to get about 21/26 [I included the three ships in the window, 27 if you can name that obscure building lol and 30 if you count the pets, one of which I’m guessing is Sabrina’s cat] I’ll admit however that I can’t name the faces of all of them, but I know at least what show they’re from. I dare you to do better. Below after the jump is my answer key. Only visit if you’ve counted up yourself

Lisbeth Salander is by likely by far my favorite fictional character in the universe. After reading her adventures in Stieg Larssonn’s novels, I went on to fall in love with Rooney Mara’s Oscar nominated performance and in response, fell in love with Mara herself. I even dedicated a large image gallery simply dedicated to the best Rooney Mara pictures I could dig up. So I decided to honor Ms. Salander with a image gallery of her own with Deviant Art’s best pictures. Be sure to visit the artists themselves, whose names are left on the image captions. I’ve even included my rendition, but it doesn’t compare to the masters of their crafts. I tried to stray away from direct images from movie inspirations and tried to stick to original depictions of the puzzling but lovable Lisbeth Salander.

So apparently this funny picture of obscurely amazing actor Danny Trejo was supporting some guy for local office or something of the sort. But then one of the many sites I frequent FilmDrunk decided to hold a photoshop contest to see who could come up with the wittiest shop. I love these types of challenges because it’s like a humongous game of Apples to Apples through the internet. And there are bound to be people more clever than you [and dumber], so appreciate their wit through this amazing gallery.

I don’t know how many of my followers are State-side, but most of you should know July 4th is a big deal to Americans. Our day of Independence warrants barbecues, fireworks, and a day off work. There’s no such thing as a day off work here at Banana Scoop, but I just wanted to remind you all a happy 4th of July everyone!

I recently stumbled upon a video of an early tech demo for the upcoming Resident Evil game and I don’t believe that I have ever been more disappointed with a developer. The amount of time and effort that went into making RE one of the greatest survival horror stories of all time just went into making it another generic third person shooter with a bulky protagonist. I’ll probably watch what happens to Chris Redfield and crew on YouTube since something tells me that I won’t be rushing to stores to pick it up. I’m fairly certain it will turn out to be a worse disappointment than RE5 was. Link to the video is included above for those of you that want to see what I’m talking about.

Cracked Writers have completely burst open another random tidbit in a movie. In this article, they break down what the meaning of a Snozzberry is based on original writer Roald Dahl’s other works. The article then begins to break down the ramifications and insinuations that have occurred since then. And to think it all started with Gene Wilder delivering such a seemingly innocent line…
What the hell has Gene Wilder been doing lately? I’ve always considered him to be like Bill Murray in the fact that he does whatever the fck he wants as he’s a comic legend. Both are incredibly old these days and at least Bill Murray is in a couple of movies in once a while. I think Gene Wilder needs to have a random ass cameo like Bill Murray did in Zombieland. That’d be the best.

I don’t know who came up with this, I highly doubt it’s originally done on SoMuchPun.com, as original content [dubbed OC by the internet] is so hard to claim these days. But you can’t deny how adorable and hilariously punny this image is. The poorly shopped glasses make it even better when the characters deliver their one-liners.

Stanley Kubrick is known for his long and creepy moments in his movies. Jack Nicholson delivers the ultimate creepy/crazy in The Shining. The invention of the internet hasn’t really helped. This GIF recognizes a very awesome scene where his character Jack is having a drink with an imaginary bartender. The clip is almost hypnotizing in a manner of which the drink swirls in a trancing fashion…Nothing else moving…alone…crazy.
Time to go watch this movie again whilst simultaneously hugging a pillow over my face.

It’s been a couple of weeks since NBC’s Parks and Recreation has wrapped up it’s 4th season. As I’ve stated before, I thought it was probably the most heartfelt comedy that aired this past season. There are many reasons why this show is amazing. The writing for this show is absolute gold. And with the amazing cast of characters that deliver the script are equally amazing. However, I’d like to bring your attention to something that’s often used as a joke, but doesn’t necessarily get the spotlight it deserves: the town of Pawnee. Within it’s writing, the creators of the show have created a colorful and amazing town. The town Pawnee itself has had an amazing history of racism towards Indians, hilariously self-centered news broadcasters and talk show hosts, an odd picture gallery depicting gruesome events in history in their city hall, a hilarious series of ‘Welcome Signs’, and more. In this post, I’ll look back on all the things that makes Pawnee awesome besides the lovable people at the Parks and Recreation department.
