You’ve surely seen us raving about Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, the neon-drenched, pun-filled, ’80s cheesefest released as a stand-alone DLC (so you don’t have to own Far Cry 3 to play it). It’s better than the original Far Cry 3 and may become a full-blown franchise. Now we have a pitch-perfect parody and a supercut to enjoy.

MikeDiva released a fake movie trailer based on Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. What’s the most spot-on about this ’80s action flick ridiculousness? Is it the cheesy one-liners? The dialogue consisting solely of cliches? The villain with a God complex and a metal appendage? The sidekick hacking the Gibson with “just wave your hands near the keyboard” movie typing? The FLYING METAL LASER SHARK!!!?

It’s all so perfect.

(NSFW audio)

If that seems too cheesy to be similar to the original, just compare it to this NSFW compilation of the best and worst one-liners delivered by Michael Biehn (Terminator) as protagonist Rex “Power” Colt in Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. Unfortunately, it doesn’t include the part about him making us a blanket out of six feet of his sh-t, but it does include the poetic, “Blah blah blah kill blah blah blah.” It’s like Raymond Chandler all up in this piece.

Hanksy’s Meth Rogan

Our favorite pop culture mashup street artist Hanksy has been posting street art around Los Angeles to promote his first West coast art exhibition. The show, How The West Was Pun, opened at Gallery 1988 this weekend and runs until June 15th. Already we’re seeing quite a bit of development in his style since his first exhibition last year.

Hanksy, a law school dropout from the Midwest, revealed in an LA Weekly interview that he was arrested while putting up his Weird Al Yankovic mural to promote the show. (He returned the next day to finish it. Haters gonna hate.) Our favorite part of the interview was his answer to the question, “Does your art have a message?”

“You could say that it’s a response to street art being accepted by the general public or me subversing the subversive. But that’s bullshit. I just want people to have a chuckle and laugh about it. It’s not terribly thought provoking or somber or serious like a lot of street art is. It’s supposed to brighten someone’s day. My general message is don’t take yourself too seriously.”

An art show that isn’t steeped in pretentious descriptions and the smell of its own farts? That’s refreshing!

Also, how can we not love an art show with a giant inflated Tom Hanks rat in front of the building? The Surly Badger was at the opening and sent in this picture taken at the door.

Some of our favorite works from Hanksy’s How The West Was Pun are collected below, along with some of the street art posted around Los Angeles in the lead-up to the show. Pictures via Gallery 1988 and Laughing Squid, and prints for some of these are still for sale at the link under each photo.

Last week, a bat — the living, flying-around animal kind — swooped across home plate and interrupted a Pittsburgh Pirates/Miami Marlins game. It gave us a chance to make lots of “bats = baseball bats” jokes.

Now, as if sent down from Heaven specifically to turn that pun up to 11, a living, flying-around bat interrupted Wednesday’s game between the Atlanta Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies and had to be removed by the bat boy. Clarification alert: not a joke. This is a real thing that happened.

See for yourself:

I think my favorite part of the clip is the announcers, who respond to the image of a bat flopping around on the infield grass with a heartwarming, down-home “awww … som’in’ wrong with it!.”

Seriously though, what’s with all the bats? This is how apocalypse movies start. Like there’s some dude in glasses in Bud Selig’s office right now in the middle of a MR. COMMISSIONER, WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE BATS and Bud’s just waving him off.

Reddit has entered the realm of the surreal with a new meme, The Overly Suave IT Guy. Is there such a thing? The memes feature the stock photo model seen above. (Well, at least he has the computer pointed in the correct direction. So skilled with computers!) These image macros are replete with dirty computer-related puns which are almost universally not suave, but that’s dudes on Reddit for you.

Our 25 favorite pictures from the meme — and pictures poking fun at the meme — are collected below. All pictures via Reddit and Mashable.

Chris Hemsworth was on Conan last night, which the Warming Glow side of things will go into depth about later, but we just wanted to focus on one part of Hemsworth’s interview that’s near and dear to us: Thor puns. If you’ve been following our coverage of Thor: The Dark World (in theaters today) and other Marvel movies, you know we love a silly Thor pun.

Conan showed Chris Hemsworth several of these puns, and Hemsworth was a great sport about them. You could even say he was… *sunglasses* …low key.

YEEEEAAAAAHHHH!

Cardboard cutouts of the Rock either doing the People’s Eyebrow or at least wearing an unbuttoned leather vest used to be ubiquitous in nearly every mall in America. Now, some young (CM) punk has taken over, and the only place you can buy a life-sized Rock is on the Internet, at every WWE event, or in Idaho, apparently, because that’s where Reddit user MariettaLittlelamb hails from, and she’s been having some with her Dwayne.

She uploaded nearly two dozen photos of herself posing with the Rock while the two are having some of the best/worst pun-based fun one can have with a cardboard wrestler, like ROCK climbing and ROCKin’ horse. Fake Rock is actually more likable and charismatic than real Rock was in Tooth Fairy.

It’s hard to believe Valentine’s Day is less than two weeks away. It seems like only yesterday we were watching the Super Bowl and huffing paint. Good times. Now we’re continuing our tradition from last year of collecting funny valentines made by pop culture fans.

These 25 valentines celebrate the holiday with plenty of music, movie, and TV references. As always, you can also view them as a single page.

A few weeks ago, we were introduced to Pun Dog, AKA Pun Husky (even though this is an Alaskan Klee Kai, not a Husky). It didn’t take long for this much cuter, self-congratulatory cousin to the Bad Joke Eel, the Anti-Joke Chicken, and the Lame Pun Raccoon to usurp all of their positions as our favorite animal who makes dad jokes.

Our favorite Pun Husky memes are collected below, with help from MSN and Tastefully Offensive. Be sure to stay to the end for a surprise.

Tori Spelling has a new “docuseries” out, which is the new thing with celebrities — like Lindsay Lohan’s Lindsay — that’s basically like a reality show but you can’t call it that because of THUPER THERIOUS themes, so adding “docu” to it somehow gives it some kind of credibility. Anyway, Tori’s new series is called True Tori, and you can tell how serious it is by the fact that the title is barely even a pun.

The docuseries will air on Lifetime in six hour-long episodes starting April 22nd, and presumably will focus almost entirely on the cheating scandal between Spelling and her husband, Dean McDermott, who entered rehab earlier this year following allegations that he cheated on his wife. So, you know, glass half full — at least they’re profiting off of his indiscretion?

In the preview, McDermott admits to cheating on his wife, comparing sex to an escape like drugs or alcohol — while Spelling breaks down crying, saying that she doesn’t think “he’ll ever be happy with just her.” Yikes. It’s this kind of thing that really makes you question where the line should be drawn as to what people should and shouldn’t be sharing with a public audience.

So, yeah. Not gonna lie, I’m probably gonna watch the hell out of this.

We’ve been #BLESSED with some interesting fan art mashups of NFL logos lately, including our own David Rappoccio’s hipster NFL logos and his fat NFL logos. We also enjoyed John Raya’s Star Wars NFL helmets. But what about NBA logos? When are they going to get an inexplicable mashup? THE INTERNET IS CALLING OUT FOR INEXPLICABLE MASHUPS.

Thankfully Micah Coles is here to mashup current and former NBA teams with first generation Pokémon. People have been asking him to put these designs on T-shirts, but he’s already kiboshed that idea (to avoid being sued). He does say he plans on uploading some of the pictures in higher quality so people can make a not-for-profit shirt themselves. Gotta print them all.

Our favorite Pokémon NBA teams are collected here. All pictures come courtesy of Micah Coles, and you can check out the rest of his work over there. Thanks to Unreality for the assist.

Sidenote: Today I learned that I recognize far more Pokémon than NBA logos. GRRR, SPORTS. Put the thing through the other thing. Win the points. We did it!
