Do you need to know about adulthood and what men are really about? Actor and theorist Paul Rudd can explain it to you quite well, in glasses, over at Rookie.

If you missed the "Shit X Says To Y" semi-meme, it's fine, it's all over now, for real.

Of all the videos uploaded to the Internet this year, here are fifteen that found their way into my feeds and dashboards and inboxes and my bookmarked aggregators of varying stripe, fifteen that inspired me to to copy and paste their URL into a Google Doc labeled “2011 Videos Wonderful,” a title comprised of words I was likely to search for when later I couldn’t find my ongoing list, and fifteen that survived when I took that giant collection and whittled it down to ten, and then added five that were somehow similar to others in the top ten and deserved inclusion because they hinted at some kind of trend.

If you don't watch "Saturday Night Live," as I don't, except when something really special happens, such as Anna Faris hosting, you might not know that it's kind of gotten delightfully weird again!
