About Us

One fateful night, Refined Taste and Youthful Abandon got drunk and did the nasty. The condom broke and they made a baby. That's us, and we're The Shit.

The Hot Shit

We, too, once swam over 3,000 miles down the Amazon. Except it was more like the Willamette, for ten miles, and we actually didn't leave the boat. But the delirium thing definitely happened.

So no one besides us remembers that one Travis Morrison song where he sings about whales, but this kind of reminds us of that. Except more hilarious. Good song topics for Rivers Cuomo: lesbians, animals. Bad topics: Beverly Hills, animals.

Word's don't—nay, can't—describe. Apparently Jeezy even ad-libs in interviews.

Gee, this totally doesn't make up for the fact that Paddy still hasn't finished the third volume of his memoirs.

It's definitely about the free booze.

So now he's picking on girls? We are convinced that The Game has become the Hank Kingsley of hip hop.

Martha Stewart is so powerful that she sends Jews to Hell.

UPDATE: We don't know what to believe in this whole Keef matter.

Oh, Keef. What have you come to? Oh wait, you've been this way for over 30 years.

The Shit Hearts Michael Cera, a Gemini and Pizza-Lover

We here at The Shit could not get enough of Arrested Development during its too-short three-season run. Neither could we get enough of Michael Cera's brilliant and understated performance as George Michael, the show's awkward emotional center; so, naturally, we are very glad we found this on YouTube. "Impossible Is the Opposite of Possible" is Cera's tongue-in-cheek parody of über-douche Aleksey Vayner's "video resume," brought to the attention of the internets last year by Gawker.

This video has already been splashed all over the web, but we thought we'd take the opportunity to link to a wonderful interview with Michael Cera, which was conducted sometime during Arrested Development's final season. It's a nice piece, which we recommend you take a look at; Cera is obviously an intelligent and interesting young man, and he's funnier than most people twice his age. Though, to be fair, most of them aren't professional comedians.
