A Parallel Universe Where Wayne Rooney Heckles Your Excel Skills

Somewhere in a Parallel Universe The Sunshine Room

Sometimes you need a perspective check, and sometimes that perspective check comes via a comic strip. You know you’re crazy with the nonsense you yell at players while they do the jobs they’ve trained their whole lives for, especially considering the last time you played you fell over the ball …

Fitba Thatba, The North London Derby Edition

The AVB impression is uncanny. As is the lifelike depiction of Steve Bould. The Bale thing, that’s pretty crap, but only because Bale’s real laugh has more of the Pee Wee Herman quality to it. Hey, it’s President Obama.

Next Media Animation Takes On Messi’s Record-Breaking Year

Here’s your Taiwanese animation video about Messi’s record 2012. He’s born from a ball (ouch, Mama Messi). He runs circles around the other kids. He gets stabbed in the head with a giant needle full of hormones and—poof—he becomes big enough to rule the football world. But can Messi be …

Taiwan Animation Takes On Rangers Tax Crisis

These Taiwanese animators really rack up the body counts in these videos. A bear dies in a hospital bed, a bear is stabbed in the back by a guy in a Celtic kit, two guys in suits are sliced up by a bear on horseback…and why does the dancing surgeon …

Finally, Someone Made A Movie With Talking Foosball Players

Argentine filmmaker Juan Jose Campanella, most famous for his 2009 Academy Award winning crime thriller El Secreto de sus ojos (The Secret in Their Eyes) is working on an animated film about talking foosball players called, naturally, Foosball. The story centers on a man who takes on a soccer pro …

The Only People Who Won’t Like This Fernando Torres Animation Are Chelsea Fans

Yup, this is what it’s come to. Animations mocking Fernando Torres’s dreams. You didn’t think it would end happily, did you?

This cartoon, by Kansas City Star cartoonist Lee Judge, appeared in Saturday’s Star ahead of Sporting’s Eastern Conference Final against the Houston Dynamo in the MLS playoffs. Of course Sporting lost 0-2 and Houston, not the home team, will go on to the MLS Cup Final. But Judge’s mild …
