Yesiree that’s right. It only took like a bazillion years and a few hit movies for the cast of “The State” for MTV to finally get their collective heads out of their asses and ACTUALLY release the revolutionary comedy/sketch series on DVD. The indie rock of sketch shows, which helped usher in and out the alternative nation MTV loved so much in the 90’s, has been slated for a full DVD release for at least 5 years now. Each time, something would happen. MTV once blamed licensing rights, since most of the sketches used songs from popular artists, like The Breeders, Ween and Morphine, but I couldn’t imagine any of those bands passing up cash to be the back drops to some of the funniest stuff to ever hit TV. Then MTV said it was something else, and finally in 2006, “The State” was made available for purchase on iTunes.
So today’s news, courtesy of David Wain himself, is really in a word awesome. The DVD set will be released this summer on July 14th, so get your pre-orders on as I see this going very quickly! According to MTV, the set will have at least 90 minutes of unaired material, commentary with the cast, outtakes and interviews. Hell Yeah. So I guess for MTV, it needed a few hit movies from the cast of “The State”, like “Role Models”, “Wet Hot American Summer” and this weekend’s winner “17 Again” (more on that later), to make this DVD set a reality. Let’s all agree this is something we can definitely dip our balls in it.

Ok, ok, I know it seems like we've been slackin. That's (partially) not true.
One of us lacks proper television due to roommates who pretend they're too cool for TV school (and reliable internet, effin cavemen).
The other has been drowning in multiple tacky Long Island weddings.
This shizz will be fixed, we promise.
In the meantime, here are multiple videos for you to enjoy. Schwing!
The show Look Around You is British, smart, AND funny. I know, weird, right?
Check out the video here.
Jake and Amir has been an interwebisode for freakin ever, but whenever we mention it to anyone, everyone is like, wha? I guess they're on MTV right now, though I wouldn't know thanks to my lack of cable television (douchey roommates).
I once saw Amir on the F train heading downtown. He got on, plopped down his fencing gear, whipped out a notebook and started writing furiously. Every once in a while he would look up, look around, mumble to himself and then go back to writing. It was difficult to tell if this was part of the series or not, or if he's joking or not. And that is the sign of a true master of his craft, like Sean Penn or George W. Bush. (See how I did that? Hilariousness)
Anyways, the premise- Amir and Jake work together. Amir loves Jake. Jake does not love Amir (or does he?). Amir is weird. Hilarity ensues.
Movie Debate from Amir on Vimeo.
I also recommend his twitter feed, as it's frig hilari.
This movie has been out for a while. Um. I don't want to say anymore.
This is just straight up mesmerizing.
Well, more to come, we promise.
Until then,
Thanks for all the fishes.

I know, I know, we’re a day late on this, but we were seriously in a recession-special pisghetti and lite beer induced daze last night.
ANTM post ONWARD-HO!
The watchability factor of America’s Next Top Model has seriously been taking a nosedive as of late- which means at this point, it’s about as watchable as watching some drunk asshole next to you puking on his girlfriend. Funny and a bit satisfying at first, until the smell, sound and visuals make you nauseas. And by smell, sound and visuals, I mean Tyra Banks. Woof. Missed out on high school theater and now we all have to suffer.
Last night’s episode is about the same as every other episode-
Lots of screaming broomsticks with hair, Tyra acting in some bitch-be-crazy skit that everyone around her has to clench their teeth and smile through, cat-fights, rage, jealousy, tears, fears.
Some girls, you’re like, “Oh, I get it.”
Some girls, you’re like, “WTF, OMG, SRZLY?! Tyra, you buggin!”
And then some girls haunt you in your nightmares like this girl:
Meet Allison Harvard. Creepy, creepy anime/japanese evil ghost character lookin Allison Harvard.
I was trying to place her all night, as I tossed and turned out of fear of getting my soul sucked out while she crawls out of my TV, and then I realized-
She’s from 4chan, a popular site known as “the asshole of the internet” and a hangthetv staff obsession, famous for bringing us Lolcats (awww), Rickrollin (haaaa) and Creepy-chan, aka, Allison Harvard (AAAAHHHHHHHLKDJLK).
Mall-goth internet chick on ANTM? They really stepped up the OUTRAGEOUS factor! ZOMG!
BEATING YOU WITH A SARCASM STICK!

Us pop-culture enthusiasts over at hangthetv.com attempted to begin liveblogging about terrible and not-so-terrible television programs such as 90210 all the way back in September of 2008. It was the premiere of the new 90210, I think there was a Project Runway involved. We dubbed it “Gay Day”, threw a little party and even got a scrumtrelescent cookie cake to celebrate!
Check out the sweet cookie cake!
Little did we know that the new 90210 was going to be so horrendous, it turned us off of blogging (live or otherwise) all together! Well people of the Internet, after 6 months of intensive puppy therapy, ludes, unprotected sex with multiple partners, and setting our high school choir teacher’s house on fire, I think we can comfortably say “We’re back”! Sorta.
So without further adeiu,
Live Blogging 90210.2.0:
Couldn’t bring myself to watch another episode, but I did catch a glimpse of a commercial.
So far…..
The girls still are painfully skinny.
The boys still are painfully gay.
And everyone still has a touch of the meth face.
