This video showed up on our tip line a few minutes ago, with the subject, “the most uproxx video i’ve seen”. I don’t think it’s even a contest.

‘All Star Bowling Trick Shots’ combines everything UPROXX loves: Funny Or Die videos, trick shot videos, celebrities doing weird stuff (like Craig Robinson dunking, or John Goodamn, or all intents and purposes the most bowling-related celebrity in the video, passing a bowling ball with a trampoline), Aubrey Plaza, kinda-crummy hip hop music … all it needs is for someone to turn it into an animate GIF gallery with subtitles and it’s our jobs in a nutshell. Oh, and Kate Upton should be there. And corgis.

Anyway, there’s nothing I can say about this video that isn’t trumped by watching it, so check it out below. Oh, I can say one thing: You are awesome, ‘Home Improvement’s’ Richard Karn, and you should be in everything. There. That felt good.

Yo, VIP! Let’s briefly kick it!

Yesterday we shared with you the thrilling reality of Vanilla Ice on SportsCenter, promoting his third-best theatrical effort to date (behind Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret Of The Ooze and Cool As Ice), Happy Madison’s That’s My Boy.

That appearance could only go in so many directions, and assuming Tokka and Rahzar never burst into ESPN studios and start fighting turtles to a ninja song, it went in the best one — Vanilla Ice 90s-dancing to ‘Ice Ice Baby’ with Erin Andrews. She tried to get away before the jackers jacked. How do you know it’s ‘Ice Ice Baby’ he’s singing and not Queen and David Bowie’s ‘Under Pressure’? ‘Under Pressure’ goes ding ding ding dinga ding ding, but ‘Ice Ice Baby’ goes ding ding ding dinga ding ding CHING ding-ding ding ding dinga ding ding. Obvious difference.

Never forget, this glorious moment was made possible by ESPN’s dearth of coolness and Adam Sandler’s terrible movies. Word to your mother.

Those of you who frequent FilmDrunk know that I have a strange fascination with Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison crew, in that I don’t know how – other than riding on the very worn down coattails of Sandler’s career – these guys keep pumping out films. For instance, three of his next films are That’s My Boy (featuring Rex Ryan), a remake of Summer School, and Candyland, which is based on the board game. If you read that last sentence and thought, “Those sound great” then you need to quit wasting your time here and go bankrupt a movie studio.

But the big project on the horizon for Sandler and Co. is a sequel to the 2010 hit Grown Ups, which earned more than $270 million worldwide. Early word is that Taylor Lautner has already joined the cast – featuring Sandler, Kevin James, David Spade, Rob Schneider, Chris Rock and the rest of the Happy Madison crew – and now Shaquille O’Neal will also appear in the film.

O’Neal recently spoke with GQ about life after the NBA and one of the things that came up was his hilariously awful film, Kazaam, of which he actually offered a very reasonable explanation.
