Eric Buss, besides being a guy I went to high school with, is an inventor, comedian and magician working in L.A., which means that he does interesting things with props of his creation. However, he is good for more laughs and is more magical than Carrot Top, as can be seen in this currently trending YouTube video. Sure, the title gives away the premise, but the brevity and execution make watching worthwhile.

As hard as it is to believe, current Late Night host and future Tonight Show host, Jimmy Fallon isn't the only person to constantly laugh at his fellow cast members on camera on a show that features some of the funniest comic actors of the day.

No, a number of Saturday Night Live's actors, great (Will Ferrell, Phil Hartman) and mediocre (Fallon, Adam Sandler) alike broke character on camera — and occasionally, it actually kind of adds to the humor, as Slacktory shows in the video they put together below.

So, remember the Cheerios ad that got racists all frothy over the idea that a large corporation was trying to force interracial couplings down the throat of this country that has fought so long to segregate the population? (It's here, if you don't remember. We'll wait for those who are unfamiliar while they watch it.)

(Everyone good? OK.)

Well, here's a response to that wonderful bit of hyper-insanity, featuring a twist that is absolutely high-five worthy.

Seriously. Eat it, haters.

As the folks at Andrew M Films note, apparently being a superhero isn't as awesome as you might think.

Interestingly, this reminds me of two different Superman-related things (since it's somewhat obviously parodying Supes): One being the "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex" essay that posits the terrible consequences that would occur if Superman were to attempt to get down with a human lady (key phrase: "...with kryptonian muscles behind it, [Superman's] semen would emerge with the muzzle velocity of a machine gun bullet"). The other is this fairly badass clip from the Justice League Unlimited series, which you can check out below the jump.

The astoundingly revered Breaking Bad is wrapping up soon, and fans are desperately awaiting the second half of the final season to roll through, after which they can debate whether or not Breaking Bad is better than The Wire, or whatever TV fans debate these days.

So, what better way was there for Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston to experience San Diego Comic-Con than wearing a life-like rubber mask that replicated the look of his character, Walter White?

The answer: none better. There was none better ways.

• Warming Glow
• Cranston at the San Diego Comic-Con Breaking Bad panel.

[Cranston] was wearing an incredibly realistic Walter White mask. Underneath, he’s grown his hair back out and looks more like Hal or Tim Whatley. He walked the floor in the mask, tried to use a higher voice to pretend like he was a fan who made the mask. “So it was fun meeting you, and you met me.”

People really, really did.

Hey, remember Neko Case? That person who decided to up and leave Tucson because there's such a thing as "social vampires" or whatever?

Well, apparently, did some thing with Funny or Die relating to a poorly-thought-out web series, involving playing music in a dressing room.

It was...uh..."funny."

The joke, of course, is that it's a great idea(!) because it is like all of the other music series where people play in tiny places and it sounds amazing (see NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts, which are pretty damn awesome) — except it goes awry because it's an even tinier space. HILARITY ON PAR WITH CHRIS FARLEY WEARING DAVID SPADE'S COAT.

(An aside: If they wanted a nice dressing room, they should've gone to those big goddamn spaces at Banana Republic. I can't afford anything there, but it's a hell of a nice spot to take a nap.)

Anyway, supposedly Neko walks out of the whole damn thing, flips off the camera (BECAUSE ROCK STARS!) and "requests that they don't put it online."

I mean, it's online anyway, both on Funny or Die AND Neko Case's Facebook page, so it's not like it didn't get vetted or have her approval or whatever anyway. Probably not the best idea to have her try and act like a humorous d-bag (see: Will Arnett in roughly anything Will Arnett does) if she can't actually pull it off (see: Michael Cera in roughly anything that's not Arrested Development or Scott Pilgrim).

Anyway, buy her CD, so you aren't considered a social vampire too!

Now, I'm not one to get in the middle of fights (apparently I just start them) but this love letter from The Daily Show's Lewis Black to Texas is just too damn good to pass up.

The backstory: Apparently, Texas Gov. Rick Perry is blasting ads all over the country, telling businesses to pull up stakes in whatever supposedly-crappy state they're currently in and come down to Texas, "while they still can."

New Yorkers are taking issue with that...hence, this response from Lewis Black. Note, the language is NSFW — as are the oft-raised middle fingers throughout.

Florida Power & Light recently demolished their old, '60s-era Port Everglades Power Plant to make way for a "cleaner, more-efficient plant run on American natural gas" (because only American natural gas contains the ingenuity to power American appliances!), and honestly, the video is just damn cool.

Unless you're interested in what members of Florida's utilities community have to say (and if you are, more power to you) I recommend muting the video, and just watching for the numerous, awesome shots of a building exploding, because this is American and I like watching huge things crumble into dust.

Everyone knows about Easter eggs in Disney films: King Triton is on a Mardi Gras float in The Princess and the Frog, Mrs. Potts and Chip are brought along in Tarzan and Mickey, Donald and Goofy are in a crowd at the beginning of The Little Mermaid. But, for a few years now, people have been speculating that all Pixar films take place in different times in the same universe. You might have heard that Boo made an appearance in Toy Story 3.

Well, Jon Negroni heard about the theory pretty recently by watching a video on Cracked. He spent the next few months, um, let's call it studying.

He published his findings (and bite sized info graphic) on his website. The timeline probably isn't what you're expecting:

1. Brave
2. The Incredibles
3. Toy Story
4. Toy Story 2
5. Ratatouille*
6. Finding Nemo*
7. Toy Story 3
8. Up
9. Cars
10. Cars 2
11. Wall-E
12. A Bug's Life
13. Monsters University
14. Monsters Inc.

What? Obviously the big surprise is the placement of A Bug's Life, but Negroni argues that's one of the easier jumps to see:

Because the machines tip everything out of balance, Earth becomes an unfit planet for humans and animals, so the remaining humans are put on Axiom (or Noah’s Ark if you want to carry on the Biblical theme where Wall-E is basically Robot Jesus and his love interest is aptly named Eve) as a last-ditch effort to save the human race.

[Note: Can we all just agree to refer to Wall-E as "Robot Jesus" from here on out? Yes? No? OK, moving on.]

After Wall-E liberates the humans and they rebuild society back on Earth, what happens then? During the end credits of Wall-E, we see the shoe that contains the last of plant life. It grows into a mighty tree. A tree that strikingly resembles the central tree in A Bug’s Life. That’s right. The reason no humans exist in A Bug’s Life is because there aren’t a lot left. We know because of the cockroach that some of the insects survived, meaning they would have rebounded a bit faster, though the movie had to be far enough in the timeline for birds to have returned as well. There’s something strikingly different about A Bug’s Life when compared to other Pixar portrayals of animals, which leads me to believe it takes place in the future. Unlike Ratatouille, Up, and Finding Nemo, the bugs have many human activities similar to what the rats in Ratatouille were just experimenting with. The bugs have cities, bars, know what a bloody mary is, and even have a travelling circus. This all assumes that the movie is in a different time period.

I won't spoil the big theory that ties everything together, but it certainly surprised me. I'm not sure how I feel about the Pixar theory. It's pretty unlikely that, back in 1995, Pixar had this wacky universe in mind. A Bug's Life was only Pixar's second film. Could the writers really have been thinking this far ahead?

Probably not. But I love the idea that, at some point, the writers sat down and decided the company needed a storyline of its own.

The post has been getting quite a bit of attention since it went up last Thursday. Negroni has been responding to readers on Twitter, in the comments and within the text of the original post.

Does anyone else feel a Pixar marathon coming on?

*Note: In different posts, Negroni switches Ratatouille and Finding Nemo on the list. I guess we'll never know.
