Striking brings out the worst in people.

Dogs and 'The Empire Strikes Back.'

Apparently the groove struck him.

Blows this kids mind.

Triggers chain reaction of exploding transformers.

The week ahead holds plenty of possibilities for any T.V. junkie. Here are a few picks you should definitely consider not checking out.

Monday: The Event. It has a backwards "E" in the logo! Don't you understand?! That is AWESOME! It has aliens! And intrigue! Assuming you were as enraged as anyone at the lack of accountability demonstrated in the storytelling of Lost, wouldn't watching this show put you neck-and-neck with a battered woman who meets her next boyfriend in a police drunk tank? The Event airs Monday nights at 9PM on NBC.

Tuesday: NCIS: Los Angeles. Person A: "Who's the special agent in charge here?!" Person B: "Chris O'Donnell." Person A: "I'm serious!" Person B: "So am I." Person A: "Wait, really?" NCIS: Los Angeles airs Tuesday nights at 9PM on CBS.

Wednesday: The Middle. Husband and wife. 3 kids. Oldest, jock. Middle, awkward. Youngest, precociously smart. Were you in a coma for the sitcom era of television? No? Oh, then never mind. The Middle airs Wednesday nights at 8PM on ABC.

Thursday: The Big Bang Theory. Want to see what T.V. writers imagine the extremely educated to act like? You don't have to. It turns out they act like every stereotypical nerd you've ever seen on television and in the movies.  The Big Bang Theory airs Thursday nights at 8PM on CBS.

Friday: CSI: NY. Hey, know what would be interesting? A police procedural about crime scene investigators! Sweet! Hey, know what would also be cool? If there was a version that took place in New York City. Can you imagine? A cop show in New York?! Where's our Emmy?! CSI: NY  airs Friday nights at 10PM on CBS.

Saturday: Click. In case you never saw one of the million and a half student films that tackle the concept of a television remote that influences reality, Fox is running Click, the story of a man with a television remote that influences reality. I wonder if he'll learn a valuable lesson in the end. Click airs this coming Saturday at 8PM on Fox.

Sunday: The Amazing Race. They've had 17 seasons. How can it be amazing if it's been done 17 times? I don't know, but I plan to not find out. The Amazing Race airs Sunday nights at 8PM on CBS.

Ellen DeGeneres sent her writer, Amy, through a Halloween maze at Universal Studios Hollywood. The result is awesome.

Such an amazing sight.

There's a brilliant series of interviews with John Cusack on YouTube about writer Hunter S. Thompson. You really learn a lot about the drunken writer! Really! However, there happens to be one videos about Hunter that's better than almost every other video about Hunter and it's not even about Hunter! The video features Gary "The Teeth" Busey trying to talk about Hunter S. Thompson, but the interviewer isn't getting the directing of ther interview right, so Gary helps him out. And by "helps him out" I mean "act really crazy."

Also, this is the best comeback ever.

Just kidding! This band will send your ears to hell! We swear! DO NOT press play on this video unless you want to be struck down by the GOD OF SUCK. Supposedly their name is Final Placement. They are from Texas and the lead singer's dad likes to sue websites for posting this video. O RLY? This is a news blog buster, fair use!

I dunno. I really can't blame the Boise State college girl playing cowbell in this video. I mean, she's playing the cowbell. That's a sad bastard instrument, like the recorder. And she's supposedly blind - which would normally be sad - but it's really just a blessing in disguise because now she can't see how everyone on the internet is making fun of her.

And yes, like the a-hole that the internet is, everyone thinks they're funny (and they are!)! Meme time!
