The epic mash up between Street Fighter and Sesame Street is complete with the very real Sesame Street Fighter. And it’s a fitting take on both of the properties as you are using education and skill to bash your opponent into submission and achieve a victory.

The key gameplay element is very similar to those who ever played Typing of the Dead or spent a lot of time goofing off in the computer lab during school. I would’ve killed for this during typing class in high school, even if it ensured me a swirlie from Gus McGill in the bathroom at lunch.

This isn’t the first time the idea of Street Fighter meeting Sesame Street has come along, but it is the first game to see the light of day involving the two franchises. Give it a spin and test your typing skill. It’s not as frustrating as Flappy Bird, but things can get a little heated in the later stages. And as an added bonus, check out some of the incredible art where your favorite characters from Sesame Street are turned into their Street Fighter counterparts courtesy of gavacho13.

The above is of course the front of the card. Your valentine opens it up and…

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

That’s right. Valentine’s Day perfection, ladies and gentlemen. It’s been making it’s way around Tumblr (here via here) although I’m uncertain who the original creator (a scholar and a gentleman/gentlewoman) is or how long it’s been in existence. One thing is for sure though: all other pop culture valentines, just stop.

Are you ready for the latest in Doritos technology? Doritos and 7-Eleven have partnered to test a cheese-stuffed snack called a "Doritos Loaded" at several select locations. But what is it? It's reportedly like a mozzarella stick, if the outside of a mozzarella stick were a Dorito.

Now this is fun: Todd Zolecki reports that Comcast SportsNet will announce Jamie Moyer and Matt Stairs have joined its Phillies broadcast team as early as tomorrow. They’re just finalizing the contracts. Both Stairs and Moyer played for the 2008 World Series champs and both seem — from this distance anyway — to be a lot of fun. Bonus: with those…

Back in 2012, Lay’s ran a “Do Us A Flavor” contest to crowdsource a new flavor of potato chips. The exceedingly boring “Cheesy Garlic Bread” won out over “Chicken and Waffles” and “Sriracha” because we can’t have nice things. Perhaps others were as jaded after the first contest as I was, because Lay’s is running another “Do Us A Flavor” contest, and people are taking it far less seriously.

Lay’s relaunched the contest on January 13th, 2014, inviting the internet to create, submit, and vote on our own customized potato chip bags using this web app. What Lay’s received in return includes creative flavor suggestions like “Government Cheese”, “Existential Crisis”, and “Hickory-Smoked Horse Buttholes”. Stay classy, internet.

Our 35 favorite “Do Us A Flavor” parodies are collected here. As always, you can also view them as a single page. Thanks to The Daily What and Know Your Meme for the assist.

On Thursday, freelance writer Lisa McIntire's mother received a credit card offer from Bank of America sort of addressed to her daughter. There was one tiny difference, though, in the name; instead of Lisa McIntire, the letter was addressed to a "Lisa Is a Slut McIntire."

PUNISH THIS SICKO TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW.

So I was in Paris the other day and as the Parks & Rec dork that I am, I set on a mission to find the Ben & Leslie lock from the Paris episode (see top left photo).

Following the reddit directions, I found the exact location, checked that all the other locks around it matched.. only to find the actual lock gone. Someone has clearly snipped off the metal fence to slide the lock off. I was super mad and super sad all at once.

Whoever you are, super hardcore Parks fan, you kinda suck. (Via)

There are few things I post here faster than an Arnold Schwarzenegger musical by Jon and Al Kaplan. Unfortunately, there isn’t a new one of those, but 2ChinTV has jumped on the Arnold Schwarzenegger musical trend with one of their own. In the first video below, Mark Schroeder impersonates Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze from 1997′s Batman and Robin, singing “Let It Go” from Disney’s Frozen. How did this not exist until now?

They even came up with a fake backstory and synopsis for their parody.

Pixar Animation Studios, the studio behind “Toy Story 3″ and “Free Birds,” presents “Freezin’,” a stunning big-screen comedy adventure. Determined scientist Victor (Arnold Schwarzenegger) sets off on an epic journey—teaming up with his loyal henchmen—to make Gotham City pay for his wife thawing research. … The film is directed by Christoher Nolan (“Batman,” “The Prestige”) and produced by Michael Uslan (“Swamp Thing”). Featuring music from Golden Globe®-winner Diane Warren (“Space Jam,” “Mannequin”) and U2.

Cool party! The mp3 is available on SoundCloud.

In other Batman And Robin news — and we have a Google alert set for it — Cinema Sins returns with another installment of “Everything Wrong With”. This time they break the record for their longest video yet, cataloging the many, many horrendous facets of Joel Schumacher’s Batman And Robin. It’s about time this movie got its comeuppance. As Schumacher’s version of Victor Freeze would say, “If revenge is a dish best served cold, then put on your Sunday finest. It’s time to feast!”

This movie is f**king terrible.

Given that Scarlett Johansson plays a disembodied voice from Joaquin Phoenix’s computer in Her, the mash-up possibilities were virtually endless. But when someone sent me one with the subject “Her + Philip Seymour Hoffman,” I started giggling uncontrollably before I’d even clicked. See, there’s a certain Philip Seymour Hoffman phone call from a certain movie that I knew would fit perfectly. I spent the whole first part of the video waiting for it, and the whole second part squealing with joy that it had been included. Can you guess what it is?

Did you guess it? That’s right, it’s from Happiness. If you haven’t seen it, you definitely should. Though be warned, my friends and I spent an entire year after we saw this asking each other “are you all wet IS YOUR PUSSY ALL WET?!? (*unngghhhhhhh*)”

Which can get weird around strangers.

I lived for these moments in X-Files.

The best part about re-watching The X-Files as an adult is how much Mulder and Scully don’t actually fit into the traditional will-they/won’t-they cliche that other shows have later taken as their inspiration. Sure, the obvious sexual tension is unbearable! They are clearly each other’s other person. But - it’s Mulder who has the grandiose you make me a better person speech in the first movie, not Scully (as a way to show how love has forced her to reconsider her tough crime-fighting persona). They are both dysfunctional, anti-social people in their own way. Even in the first season, as Scully ~tries to have a life outside of work~, it doesn’t pale in comparison. She likes working with Mulder. They are sympatico.

As an adult, I realize that The X-Files is a show about finding your soul mate and then waiting nine years to accept it, plus like aliens and monsters and goat suckers and vampires and other stuff.

I’m not sure what compelled Conan and his staff at the time to tape a late night talk show in front of an audience of children (marijuana, perhaps?), but the end result is amazing. Watching this it’s hard not to appreciate Conan O’Brien as a gifted performer. To hold the attention of a bunch of kids for an hour while also making something adults wouldn’t be bored silly watching is truly impressive.

Best of all is at around the 35 minute mark, which is where Conan introduces his next guest, CNN’s financial editor at the time, Myron Kandel. It’s a move that belongs in the trolling hall of fame.

Enjoy!
