The video of Pete KegStand is even better than the GIF, because it shows his swagger leading up to his castration. I had to watch it three times to fully take in the glory of it all.

Oh, it’s definitely the gift that keeps on giving—and the GIF that keeps on GIFing! Wishing a happy and healthy New Year to you, Mrs. Spouse and the rest of your family, as well as this fabulous community!

Oh no! The master nutcracker GIF reigned supreme this year — maybe the only “highlight” of 2025.

I don’t know how many times I watched Flippy McCrushnuts and laugh like it was the first time I saw it before I actually saw the pain he inflicted on himself all over his face. THAT just made/makes the entire GIFt more funny and entertaining. I did especially enjoy today’s video.

I wish the fighter pilot that had Pete Kegbreath as a passenger would have done so many barrell rolls & climbs and dives that ol' Petey would have thrown up his socks. THAT would be newsworty

Thanks, Jeff, for the slog through the quagmire of stupid in 2025, courtesy of the kooks, rummies, and assholes on the right. The skateboard to the nuts is now a standard, as should be the MAGA self-eye-macer. Happy New Year, everyone, and we can hold out hope that somehow 2026 will be less stupid.

Whar all the Iowa voters who keep electing Grassley yet whined about Joe Biden's age?

It seems obvious to me that Grassley is, in fact, dead--everything he says and does is simply the result of lingering neurons firing their last gasps.

Thank you, Jeff, for this entire three-part recap of a Year in Stupid. It’s most fitting (and satisfying) to include our favorite Nutcracker gif. Happy New Year to you, Ms Spouse, and everyone in this fan community!

Another banger~

especially October 1

Can’t ever get enough of watching a sweaty day drinker in a skin tight suit change his voice five octaves by pretending that he’s Tony Hawk

All these losers!! and to think you’ve only scratched the surface

Apparently we’re made of tougher stuff than we believe we are to have survived it all

Poor Freddie Mercury looks pretty anguished being a member of that opening act

Happy, healthy, prosperous new year to all!🥂

Charlie Kirk was a grifter first and foremost — and if we lived in biblical times he’d have been stoned in the town square for selling snake oil to the people.

His “lord God” was money all the way — which is why Erikkka Kirk jumped right in there to continue the grift before his body was even cold.

hmmm - and here I'd been thinking that Charlie Kirk's body was cold well before he'd even died.

If you think it is “disrespectful” to watch streaming video of his actual demise, just watch the season one finale of *YOUR HONOR* on Netflix. The kid playing Adam Desiato (Judge Michael Desiato’s son) does it pretty realistically.

And, as this Year of the Bat(shit) comes merrily to a close, let us recall the sage words of the late Sly Stone, "There's no point in blaming the mirror if your face looks strange." Every accusation, friends, is a confession. Did Minnesota's Somali community commit widespread fraud? Perhaps, but nothing compared to the literal selling of pardons (Chaucer's Pardoner would be proud) to every amoral miscreant with a few million to spare. My concern for 2026 is that after Orange Jabba shuffles-off this mortal coil his personal Tattoo, the bane of furniture, will usurp whatever remains of MAGA and the insanity will continue unabated until the Democrats manage to blow it (again) in 2028.
