Let’s Take A Trip Back To The 90s With Pokémon
I can’t decide if these old (and edited?) Pokemon videos found by Everything Is Terrible are amazing, embarrassing, or both. I’m sure we’ll look back on current ads and feel the same way about them too—that’s just how it is. But for now, we can laugh and cringe at these old ads freely. And in…

Judge Dredd Is The Jerk Cop Future-Los Angeles Needs
You know Dredd. Big, beefy, never takes off the helmet. Kind of a jerk, isn’t he? Why do we like him again? Maybe you know him from the excellent 2012 movie starring Karl Urban or the less-good 1995 feature film where Sylvester Stallone played him. Or it could be you’re either a fan of the…
