'Saturday Night Live' - 'What's Up With That?'

"Saturday Night Live" has been pretty terrible of late. But this sketch of a BET musical talk show cracks me up.
It originally aired on NBC on Nov. 21, 2009.
Suggested rating: PG.
SNL aired a sequel to the sketch on Dec. 19, 2009.

'Twilight' parodies

One of the most popular subjects for parody in 2009 was the “Twilight” series of emo vampire movies.
The movies – and the books they’re based on – are wildly popular with adolescent girls. Fans are willing to overlook the movies’ shortcomings, but critics and humorists (including Conan O'Brien) have been having a blast mocking the series.
I’ve already posted parodies from Saturday Night Live, CollegeHumor and G4.
Here are a few more:

SNL slams the iPhone

Is Apple’s reality distortion field starting to wear off for the iPhone?
Apple’s popular smart phone has been hammered for its poor 3G wireless coverage in commercials by Verizon attacking AT&T. Those ads certainly have tarnished the iPhone’s image. Here’s a sample ad, where the iPhone is relegated to the Island of Misfit Toys from “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.”
On Dec. 19, “Saturday Night Live” took a swing at the iPhone in its Weekend Update segment. Check it out up top.

Pavement artist Edgar Mueller

I like the work of pavement artist Edgar Mueller. Here he receives a Guiness World Records certificate for anamorphic pavement art. He did the art at the Westfield Shopping Center in West London for the release of Ice Age 3 on DVD and Blu-ray Disc.
Anamorphic images use the phenomenon and technique of "perspectival anamorphosis"; this involves creating a distorted image that can only be seen properly from one view point.
