A Golden Treasury Of Awkward/Weird/Awesome Family Holiday Photos - This would be even funnier if it didn’t remind me of a box of photos in my parents’ basement. I don’t think it’s possible to take a family photo without some level of weird/awesome. [UPROXX]

The 10 Funniest TV Episodes of 2011 - One day like 8 years from now I’m going to turn to someone and say, “hey, you know what’s an awesome show? Happy Endings.” And they’re gonna go I WAS JUST THINKING THAT. Unfortunately that means 7 more years of me thinking Happy Endings blows. [Warming Glow]

American Psycho Updated for 2011 - Incredible and appropriate. They should use this post to write the new script. [Film Drunk]

juggernaut-googly-eyesNo, Robin Is Not In The Dark Knight Rises, But Here’s A Better Easter Egg - People thinking Hines Ward’s last name is a reference to Robin is lame, but that pearl necklace thing is pretty outstanding. Can’t wait to see this, no matter how critical I am/have been. [Gamma Squad]

“Mmmphgh Abiryrt Mphdgjkdhd” said Bane. “Fark” said Warners - “Get a grip” says Brandon and anyone who doesn’t need to have their hand held while watching movies. [FARK]

“X-Men With Googly Eyes” Greatly Improves Bad Covers - This is maybe the best idea a person has ever had, and I’m sad I didn’t start doing it 20 years ago. I want to be the googly eyes magnate :( [Gamma Squad]

25 Wikipedia Personal Appeal Juxtapositions That Bring The Lulz - 25 Wikipedia Personal Appeal Juxtapositions put lulz in a basket and made sure to bring it to this thing we’re at. It has been brought! [UPROXX]

Common Confirms Drake Diss, Pusha T Adds Fuel To The Fire - Drake just got dissed. Negaduck. [Smoking Section]

The Best Fails Of 2011 - Is “best fails” one of those Wikipedia juxtapositions? [Buzzfeed]

Best Movie Dogs of 2011: From Uggie to Skeletor, the Top 11 Canine Co-Stars of ’11 - Karate Dog better be on here somewhere. Don’t lie to me, that movie was made in 2011. [Moviefone]

The 10 Best SNL Sketches of 2011 - #1 Gilly goes to the supermarket, #2 Gilly spends eight minutes talking about the time she went to the supermarket, #3 Ladies and gentlemen, Jessie J. [Pajiba]

The 90 Best Tumblr Blogs Of 2011 - Pretty sure Buzzfeed has readied at least five of these lists a day for the entirety of December. [Buzzfeed]

The Five Most Awesome Games On a Graphing Calculator - The way we were advancing the technology in AP Calculus back in the day, I figured they’d be playing Mario Kart on those things by now. Whether or not you think graphing calculators are cool is the truest sign of uncoolness. [Gamma Squad]

Perez Hamilton Is The Best Perez Hilton Parody Tumblr EVAR!!! - Totally funny and run by a cute girl from Disney, proving that cute girls from Disney are our greatest asset and can do anything. [UPROXX]

The 10 Television Actresses You Were Most Likely to See Naked in 2011 - I don’t know who convinced Hollywood’s agents that movies are a terrible place to get naked and you have to CGI your breasts but TV is fine. “Next season calls for 19 scenes of buttf**king, that sound like something you’d be interested in?” “SHOAR!” [Warming Glow]

The Best And Worst Of WWE Raw 12/5: Zack Ryder All Day Everyday - If you missed it, scroll down one post and read it. Important things are happening with this column! [With Leather]

Do The Source Magazine’s 5 Mics Still Matter? - I guess the white people equivalent to this would be “does Sushi-X’s GamePro score still matter?” And the answer is no, no it doesn’t. [Smoking Section]

Guns, Horses & Insecurities: Reporting From the Set of True Grit XXX - The XXX parody people should delve deeper into John Wayne’s filmography. I mean, The Shootist is probably the easiest thing to porn parody ever. [Film Drunk]

The Cello Skills Are Strong With This Star Wars Fan Video - “This Babylon 5 Fan Is Great At Playing The Recorder”. [Gamma Squad]

The Dozen Funniest Death Scenes In Otherwise Serious Movies - Titanic tops this list for me. I still break out the PUH PUH PUH PUH PROMISE ME RUH RUH RUH ROSE every now and then. [FARK]

Ranking Television’s 10 Best Boobs - Exactly what you think it’s gonna be, but yes, there is also a picture of Alison Brie. [Pajiba]

Morning Links: MMA Appreciation Day

Written by Brandon Stroud / 06.06.11

Danny Downes Kimura

I feel like we may’ve gotten off on the wrong clubbed foot with our new readers from Friday, so I want to dedicate an entire day to them. Today will be nothing but MMA coverage, from The Ultimate Fighter to UFC to our personally organized backyard hobo battles. Of course, by “today” I mean the first two links in today’s morning links, then probably nothing.

TUF 13 Finale GIF: My God, How Did Danny Downes Not Tap to That? - Like that image at the top of the post? Click over to Cage Potato to watch the gif. It’s sort of like the gif of the big fat guy powerbombing little girls into the swimming pool, except on television. I would’ve started tapping out the second they made me wear those shorts. [Cage Potato]

Joe Rogan Needs To Get Rid Of The Seaward - If you missed this unnecessarily controversial post from Friday, give it a read. If you already read it, go back and read the comments. You won’t believe how tactful people can be during anonymous conversation. One guy said I had a “jew face.” I can only assume that means “handsome.” [With Leather]
