Geek satire, comedy, and all things satirical in the geek universe.
Greatest Quotes by Famous Geeks
Geeks were talking like Jedis log before George Lucas thought of Star Wars Yoda speak. Stereotypes aside, geeks often are people who have a hard time fitting in to any one particular category. Not surprisingly they can become obsessed with multiple intellectual interests. Anti social only to the degree that many other people don't seem particularly interesting.

Soundwave or Die Tryin'
Like many celebrities, Soundwave's origins are humble. Japanese toy company Takara had a line of robots called Diaclone, picked up and reimagined by Hasbro in the mid-80's. Capitalists to the bone, Hasbro teamed with Marvel Comics to launch a comic book series around the toy line, to help muster sales.

Funniest 'South Park' Randy Marsh Scenes
We should all thank the divine forces that led Trey Parker and Matt Stone to decide to further develop some of the characters that weren’t so involved in first few seasons of South Park, because that decision brought us the funniest Randy Marsh scenes. Before this happened, Randy was just Stan’s dad and not much more, having only the occasional screen time without catching the attention of the viewers. Thankfully, the creators of South Park realized the potential in Randy’s character and he quickly became an integral part of this hilarious animated TV show. South Park is still airing, so even though we tried our best to choose some of the funniest South Park Randy Marsh scenes, there sure are many that we just couldn’t include since Randy is one of the funniest characters in the show.

Where Would Darth Vader Go on Vacation?
Different people worry about different things. Families, careers, life goals, yada yada. Occasionally we worry about “trivial” things, too. Why didn’t Obi-Wan remember R2-D2 in A New Hope? Exactly how long did Luke spend training on Dagobah in Empire Strikes Back?There’s lots of things to consider when it comes to Star Wars, and consider them, I do.

Best Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Tales
What makes the Simpsons Treehouse of Horrors Tales so scary is that this stuff can come out of the mind of Matthew "Matt" Groening. He is a comedic genius, artist and probably really rich. I decided to take a look back at some of the past Simpsons’ Halloween offerings that still have me laughing to this day.

Deadliest Movie Sharks
You either love sharks or they scare the crap out of you. But if you’re like me, sharks both scare and intrigue you. Like me, many people are fascinated not only by a shark’s beauty, but also by the badassery predator instincts they have. In celebration of this year’s shark movie The Shallows, where our worst nightmares come alive of getting stranded on a rock in the middle of an shark waters are told by actress Blake Lively, we are honoring the best ‘sharkplotation’ movies of all time. The following movies will either make you never want to go in the water again or make you laugh your ass off due to the sheer plot absurdity. From the classic shark movies to the most outlandish like shark ghosts to the campiest sharks attacking from the sky, there is no place safe from any shark attack. Seriously in the end, don’t we all eventually get eaten by sharks?

Best Places to Hide During a Zombie Apocalypse
With pop culture’s incessant interest in zombies, the undead hype has exploded into living rooms across the world with TV shows and movies like the Walking Dead, Fear of the Walking Dead and the always classic Night of the Living Dead. These TV shows and movies are becoming more and more realistic, almost too real. Zombies have dominated science fiction for years. But we know they don't actually exist, right? Wrong. There are several real-life diseases that could make you act like a zombie. Some diseases like Sleeping sickness, Rabies and Necrosis show signs that are eerily close to what you’d expect a zombie to be like. Living in our world right now almost feels like everything is upside down. I mean come on, Donald Trump is an actual candidate for presidency so it would be no surprise if the next worldwide outbreak was a bunch of zombies. Anything is possible at this point. Last time I checked the zombies weren’t walking the streets but if they do, here are the best places you should hide during a zombie apocalypse. Every location on this list of zombie hideouts have their pros and cons but be reassured they would be your best bet.

Worst Super Powers
As a kid your parents and teachers constantly reiterate to you that you are special. The trouble is when you grow up, you actually aren’t that unique like a beautiful snowflake. Yes though beautiful, snowflakes are not actually unique. Perhaps this feeling has crushed you. It sure crushed me. To some it has caused you to say to the world ‘F*** it! I’m going to get high or go do some gardening.’ But your mind wanders and is always doubting the doubters. At times this thinking has led your mind to daydream in which you save a lady trapped in a tower or you organize a revolt against the capitol city with your bow and arrow in your coal-mining town during in some future dystopian land. But alas it's just some daydream, or is it? What if you were actually special? What if some inexplicable event happened that rendered you different from the masses or you discover later in life you actually are unique, allowing you to possess abilities above and beyond everyone else? The creators of super heroes have spoon-fed this narrative to angsty humans for millennia, probably. I’m sure there’s some study out there but I can’t be bothered right now. Do your own research! It’s been done so much that a new cultural trope has risen: the lame superpower. Tragic, comical, tragicomic (yeah I made it up), the superhero who fails so hard it marks a fine breed amongst character types: pegged for greatness, destined by an unnecessary or inconvenient super power to fail. Below, we have compiled our ten worst superpowers and the characters that wield them.

Best Comic Relief Characters
One of the oldest staples in movies is the comedy relief character. Especially in darker movies, the comic relief character serves to provide levity in times of dire straits and, if used correctly, they can be the highlight of the movie, and usually tend to be fan favorites. There’s a fine line to walk with a comic relief character, and although many of them can be annoying, these are the comic relief characters that we think did the best job of serving the role while being a memorable part of their respective films.
