Spider-Man Memes Read By Josh Keaton
Get ready for a whole load of awesome folks. Josh Keaton, the one-time voice actor of Peter Parker/Spider-Man during The Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon, has created this wonderful little video, where he reads some of the popular 60s Spider-Man memes.
The video is listed as “Vol. 1,” so hopefully that means there are more to come.

“Lost” RPG: The Game You’ll Love At First But End Up Hating
The talented folks at College Humor is at it once again parodying television shows through 16-bits. If you remember, they gave Game of Thrones and Doctor Who the RPG treatment; this time, it’s the ever-so-controversial Lost’s turn.
The video does its hilarious best to sum up its entire 6-season run through RPG gameplay, so it should go without saying, but I’ll say it anyways: spoiler alert. (It contains a polar bear, Jack’s beard, a donkey wheel and bad plotlines.)

Don Cheadle Wrecks Green Havoc Again As “Captain Planet”
It was roughly a year ago when we saw actor Don Cheadle (Iron Man 2, Hotel Rwanda) go power mad as Captain Planet. Now, it appears that he’s returned with not only a snazzy blue suit, but also powers that have um..“branched out?”
Written and Directed by Charles Ingram and Nick Corirossi, the short also once again has Effen Ramirez (Napoleon Dynamite, Crank) as Ma-Ti.
Look, I’m waiting with about the same excitement and caution on the actual live-action Captain Planet movie like the next 90’s kid. But I honestly wouldn’t mind if they just somehow based the movie on this short.
Besides, where else are you going to find Captain Planet swearing (this is slightly NSFW) and shooting beams with a laser guitar while dubstep blasts in the background?
Yeah, exactly.

The Making of “Piranha 3DD” - NSFW Featurette
Check out this hilarious sketch from Funny or Die, which pokes fun at the “The Making of” style of featurettes. While not safe for work, this featurette offers a good two minutes of laughs while selling the film on me.
Featuring commentary from cast and crew which includes the likes of David Hasselhoff, David Koechner, Katrina Bowden and even Gary Busey, they help add to the fun that is “The Making of Piranha 3DD.”
Piranha 3DD hits theaters June 1st.

Gilbert Gottfried Reads “Fifty Shades Of Grey” (NSFW)
If you haven’t at least heard of this book yet, I will at least do you the favour of introducing it to you in a hilarious manner. Fifty Shades of Grey is currently a best selling erotic fiction novel by E. L. James, and if you’re wondering why (here, of all places) I’m reporting something about it, it’s because the author was apparently inspired by Twilight scribe, Stephanie Meyers.
Sounds disturbing enough, right? Well, it’s only made more so by a fictional audio version read by none other than Gilbert Gottfried. As detailed—and at times disturbing—as the book is in its sexual description, it all becomes a source of comedy gold when read by the famed vocal talent.

Mario Has Another Brother Named Giuseppe Who Isn’t So Super
While Mario and Luigi are off in the Mushroom Kingdom hanging out with Peach and kicking Bowser’s butt, their other, less known brother stays at home and takes care of the important things.
Made by the hilarious guys at Dorkly, this video sheds light on the hidden truths we can’t see in the wonderful Nintendo franchise. And who uses Yellow Pages anymore?

Screen Junkies posted this video of someone named DJ Flula interviewing the cast of The Dictator, so to get you primed for the film (or my review of it) this weekend, watch this hapless young man get decimated by the cast of the film.

“Dragon Ball Z For Kinect” Has The Most Unintentionally Hilarious Trailer This Year
People love Dragon Ball Z. It’s a classic series that’s absolutely timeless. Of course, Namco Bandai loves to try and capitalize on this fact by releasing a never-ending stream of games set in the universe.
The latest of those is the aptly named Dragon Ball Z For Kinect. Its hook is putting fans into the middle of the action, “actively” controlling the fighting for the fate of the universe. By the looks of things, the game appears to be a weird crossover between a motion-controlled fighter and a move-matching dancing game, with cutscenes playing out between your flailing.
“Become a Super Saiyan!” in October 2012 on the Xbox 360.
