Tom Hardy Would Like To Play The Punisher, Make Everyone’s Punishment More Severe

Tom Hardy recently spoke with Collider about why he had to quit Suicide Squad. Collider just posted the second part of that interview, in which Hardy speaks about wanting to take on more comic book movies, and one character in particular is on his wish list: The Punisher.

HARDY: I want The Punisher. I want The Punisher, or Splinter Cell, I want something… I don’t know what I want.

You as Punisher could be very interesting.

HARDY: I’m not big enough to be The Punisher, I’m 5’9″ [Laughs].

But I actually think that adds to the character.

HARDY: Frank Castle, I would love it.

As far as we know, Hardy is already signed on as the lead in Splinter Cell, but development has been moving slowly. It’s nice to see him name-dropping it anyway.

It’s also worth noting that Marvel has the rights to The Punisher back (something Lexi Alexander probably wishes happened sooner), and the cast and creators of Netflix’s Daredevil show have expressed interest in having Castle fight the Defenders. We don’t really see him taking a cameo role in a TV show, but, on the other hand, being able to bank large movie roles hasn’t kept him from accepting smaller TV roles in the excellent Peaky Blinders and Taboo.

We could totally see him killing it as the Pun-isher, too…

Star Wars Day was last Monday, and many a “May the fourth” pun was made, but that didn’t slow anybody’s roll in making even more puns this weekend. The hashtag StarWarsRapNames caught fire on Twitter, with all the variations on R2-DTupac and Chewbacca Flocka Flame you could ever want or need.

Our favorite tweets among the top entries in the hashtag are collected below.

This year’s San Diego Comic-Con is wrapping up, and we’ve been scrambling to bring you any leaked videos we can get (X-Men: Apocalypse, Deadpool, Suicide Squad), as well as officially-released trailers (Batman v Superman, Ash vs. Evil Dead, Heroes Reborn) and summaries of the biggest panels (X-Men, Warner Bros., Star Wars, The Walking Dead). But there’s another thing the biggest Comic-Con of the year has to offer: cosplay. Loads of it.

To that end, we’re collecting some of our favorite SDCC cosplay pictures, and the first gallery starts below. Be sure to check out our second gallery (with a focus on the women of the X-Men universe) over here, our third gallery here, and our final gallery here.

A Guy Annoyed His Fed-Up Girlfriend With These Hilariously Bad Ikea Puns

It’s something every new couple that decides to live together must go through… a trip to Ikea. There’s even a 30 Rock episode about it. If you can survive that labyrinth of baby cribs and meatballs without killing each other, then you’re meant to be. Never press your luck, though, like the guy in the video above who explained, “We moved in together recently, so had to make the unavoidable trip to IKEA; I figured out how to get through there as quickly as possible.”

Puns, he means puns. Note how his girlfriend goes from mild amusement to fed-up annoyance to simply giving in by the end of the video. He better watch out, though. The next time he calls her a “SKÄNKA,” he’ll be going to Ikea by his lonesome, an experience you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy. Unless your worst enemy was a monkey.

Watch This Weatherwoman Do An Entire Forecast With Star Wars Puns

This is either the zenith or nadir of Star Wars nonsense on the Internet, depending on your viewpoint. Sian Welby (great name, by the way) of 5 News London dropped several Star Wars puns into her weather report on Wednesday afternoon.

Some of them actually worked. Others, not so much.

“If you Luke father west.”
“If you’re Wookiee.”

Okay, fine. Those are wonderful.

“The Force is strong, though, for Northern Scotland.”
“And then tonight the weather strikes back.”
“Don’t be a trooper, please take care on the roads.”
“If you’re forced to awaken early tomorrow morning, it’ll be on the dark side.”
“Far, far away to the southeast of England, there’s a new hope for some sunshine.”

This is not the first time Welby has used the weather for her own amusement. Back in October, she went heavy with some Back to the Future puns.

Twitter Humorously Doubles Down On Whitewashed Oscars With #MakeAMovieWhiter

After the Oscar nominations were announced, people went to work both mocking the choices and — on a more serious note — pointing out the overwhelming whiteness of the picks. The hashtag #OscarsSoWhite popped up, boycotts were threatened, make-goods were promised, and Oscars host Chris Rock had to throw out a bunch of his jokes and start writing new ones.

@Midnight decided to address the issue with a serious roundtable discussion spearheaded by a panel of esteemed academics… or maybe they had a pun war using a new a hashtag on Twitter: “This year’s Oscars are whiter than a polar bear at an NPR party so tonight we’re playing #MakeAMovieWhiter.”

As with the Guy Fieri movies, Twitter delivered some genuinely silly puns in response to @Midnight’s call to action. Mighty white of them. Check out our favorites below, or skip right past that to the comments and lecture us about how racist this is. Because making a pun about Ryan Gosling is definitely the same — with the same impact on your quality of life — as generations of structural inequality. Thanks for the heads up, white/1-16th-Cherokee ninth-grader from Topeka.

Twitter Keeps It Classy With #PutButtsInAVideoGameTitle

If you’re perpetually twelve years old like we are, you may have let out a yip of joy when you saw #PutButtsInAVideoGameTitle start trending on Twitter this Thursday. Finally, people are mentioning video game butts on Twitter and it’s not about a controversy for once. Nope, this has nothing to do with whether a fighter’s victory pose is too creepily butt-centric and everything to do with silly puns about butts.

Even Harley Quinn voice actor (and sometimes Harley Quinn cosplayer) Tara Strong was getting in on the butt jokes:

And here are some of our other favorites:

This one is in a class all by itself:

Some of the other jokes also verged on the very literal, and we love it:

But (butt?) some of those who were tweeting butt jokes kept their eyes fixed firmly on their bright futures:

Meme Watch: The Best Of The ‘Whoa, We’re Halfway There’ Tweets

$

A new pun-based meme has been making the rounds on Twitter, and — like the best pun-based memes — it also incorporates popular ’80s music, specifically Jon Bon Jovi, who probably saw all of this coming with his time travel powers he refuses to use for the greater good.

The trend started last week when Periwinkle Jones tweeted the joke above, riffing on the lyric “Whoa, we’re halfway there” from the 1986 song “Livin’ On A Prayer” by Bon Jovi, wrapping up the chorus with a “lizard on a chair” instead of “livin’ on a prayer.” The jokes really took off when a tweet by Truett (the first picture below) went viral this week using a joke playing on the same theme.

These puns are the perfect mix of completely absurd yet still catchy. If you were alive at any time in the late ’80s or ’90s, you probably immediately recognized the first line of the chorus, whether you wanted to or not. But now, with this roundup of our favorite tweets from the meme, you can sing an improved version when it gets stuck in your head.

(“lemon and a pear”)

(“kitten on a stair”)

 

(“Liv in underwear”)

 

(“Piven and a bear”)

 

(“lipstick on a pear”)

 

(“wizard at a fair”)

 

(“ribbon on a bear”)

 

(“sieving on a Blair”)

Bill Cosby Tweets About Cosby Sweaters, Internet Singularity Achieved

Obsession over the snazzy sweaters Bill Cosby would wear in his role as Dr. Huxtable on The Cosby Show is nothing new, but Bill Cosby himself has finally acknowledged our nostalgic enthusiasm for these knitted masterpieces. He auctioned off a few of the iconic sweaters four years ago to benefit a charity. More recently, he’s been tweeting about the sweaters. Yes, Bill Cosby is on Twitter, with the tweets and the zoopity and the boop da zoop. He also has a confusing vlog, which is like hearing our grandmas are on Facebook.
We’ve screencapped these meta-as-hell Cosby sweater tweets below, and we’ve also added a few completely related pictures. (Hat tip and an obligatory pudding pop reference to Nerdcore.)

Alison Brie, Lionel Richie, And A Bad Pun, All In One Delightful Photo

The key to making Alison Brie’s day: sending her artwork with Lionel Richie puns, apparently. It’s well established that she’s a fan of soft rock from the 1980s, having sung “Rich Girl” in concert before, and earlier today, Brie tweeted, “OH. MY. GOD. My day has been MADE!!! Thank you @JYAJ06!! You’re my heroooooo!!!”

The cause of so many exclamtion points: a plate that reads, “Hello. Is it Brie you’re looking for?” Well played, @JYAJ06: I would have gone with, “Say You, Say Brie,” but props, man.

Female Arm Wrestling Is Here And There’s Nothing You Can Do About It

$

A while back, some of the FilmDrunk Commentariat and I were helping one of the female commenters come up with a name for her new roller derby schtick, and this made us all very happy because we love any opportunity to come up with ridiculous puns. And we came up with a ton, including Machete White, Amelia Fearhart, and my favorite, Threata Van Sufferin. The point of today’s installment of Cool Story, Bro is that I’ve been introduced to a whole new amazing world of female name puns, thanks to the Collective of Lady Arm Wrestlers.
CLAW travels the country, performing at hipster theatres and such, putting on arm wrestling tournaments that involve 8 local women, who develop and perform different characters for the crowds and celebrity judge panels. And I’m so fascinated by the whole idea that I read an entire article on the NPR website about it. I know, I’m impressed, too.

As to why these ladies do it, the NPR revealed:

“The first time I competed in arm wrestling, I had no idea what I was doing,” says Dyer, a woman in her mid-20s with short brown hair and a slight physique. “And I won.”
“I won the first round. I won the second round. And I almost won the championship round,” she says. “I was like, ‘Holy cow, if this is how well I can do when I haven’t even been training, then man, I gotta start lifting weights.”
Sitting on a bed in a Charlottesville, Va., hotel room, you’d have no idea by looking at her that she was about to make a transformation into a lingerie-clad burlesque entertainer. She looks more like the person she is during her day-job: a genetics researcher at Duke University.
“It’s theatrical, and it’s crazy, and wild, and really, really fun,” she says.

Again, I was sold at the crazy names, and according to the CLAW website, they do not disappoint. They’re also incredibly active in their communities, so I give them a double hat tip, wink and arm flex for their amazing efforts. Check out some of the best CLAW arm wrestlers, as well as one woman’s “daily routine” video that rivals most WWE promos.

Economists Make Their Final Confessions In The Best Of #EndOfTheWorldEconfessions

$

Last Friday was the final day on the Mayan Long Count calendar. Some people thought his meant the world was ending, even though the Mayans didn’t believe that. People predicting the end of the world have something in common with economists, in that both can make ridiculous predictions and face little to no consequences for being wrong. So perhaps it’s fitting that economists on Twitter made their final confessions via the hashtag EndOfTheWorldEconfessions.
It started when @DrGooseEcon made a joke and hashtagged it as an economist’s confession. Soon after, others were making nerdy math and economics jokes in the form of a confession. Any time you’ve got a bunch of people making nerdy puns, we’ll be there.
Our 30 favorite puns and fake admissions from #EndOfTheWorldEconfessions are collected below. Thanks to Freakonomics for the assist.

Here’s the unassuming tweet that started it all.

I’d watch Walrus Court.

An economic who votes? So rebellious.

There’s always one of these.

‘COPS’ Once Had To Blur A Chihuahua’s Face Because It Was A Working Actor

$

Entertainment Weekly just did an interview with COPS post producer Mitsuo Goto, who is in charge of exactly what and how much to blur on Fox’s long-running, shirtless-idiot-arresting reality show. I found the whole thing interesting because I spent like 40% of college on a couch watching marathons of COPS and World’s Wildest Police Chases, but the highlight definitely came when they asked Goto about the weirdest thing he has ever had to blur.

Belly is an honorable mention. Once in a while, an obese man will have a stomach that hangs so low, it technically covers his genitals, but Goto will wind up blurring the bottom portion of the guy’s stomach anyway. “Standards-and-practices thinks that’s naked enough,” he explains.

But here’s your winner: In a prostitution case from season 11, the police entered a house and the cameras captured a shirtless man lying on the floor with a yapping Chihuahua on his back. “It was a funny shot, so Fox used it in on-air promotion,” he remembers. “And then the same guy called Fox and said, ‘This dog is an actor, and he has an agent, and I didn’t sign a release for him.’” Goto had to reopen the episode and blur the Chihuahua’s face, and even obscured another barking dog in the room. [EW]

AHAHAHAHA.

THAT IS THE STUPIDEST THING I’VE EVER HEARD. THEY HAD TO BLUR THE DOG’S FACE BECAUSE IT WAS AN ACTOR. I GUESS IT WOULD HAVE MADE IT PRETTY RUFF FOR HIM TO GET WORK AFTER THIS, HUH? I MEAN, THAT OWNER WOULD HAVE REALLY BEEN IN THE AGENT’S DOGHOUSE, YOU KNOW? THE POOR GUY WOULD HAVE CALLED A TON OF CASTING AGENTS AND SAID “COME ON, WE GO BACK A LONG TIME. THROW ME A BONE HERE,” BUT THEY WOULD HAVE ALL TOLD HIM HE WAS BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE. AFTER ALL, IT’S A DOG EAT DOG WORLD OUT THERE IN HOLLYWOOD. AHAHAHAHA.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA.
