Remember when Valentine's Day was awesome? You spent all day gluing construction paper to a shoe box, for the sole purpose of having people stuff it with cheap candy and cards from the pharmacy.

Here are some of those cards you maybe used to get in your shoebox, if the tea
Say ‘You’re Awesomesauce’ With These ‘Parks and Rec’ Valentines
What better way to tell somebody you love them than with the words of the great people of Pawnee? 'Parks and Rec' very generously shared these Valentine's Day greeting cards on their Pinterest, and we think they're swell. Tell somebody that you don't hate them, or even adore them, and if it gets weird just say "Hey, I'm sorry, I thought you LIKED that show." And then never talk to them a
The 10 Most Amazing Steve Guttenberg Photos You’ll Ever See
To quote a friend, "1980s Steve Guttenberg: If Bill Murray can't do it, Gutt's your man." Let's take a moment to reflect on everyone's favorite '80s nice guy.

A man who looks great in a silver
GoPro Baby Does Dubstep in Awesome Super Bowl 2013 Commercial
GoPro saved money to pay for their Super Bowl airtime by using one of their own cameras to film their commercial. Well, that's the theory we have anyway. We don't know that for certain. It doesn't really matter, anyway. The only thing that matters is look at the chubby cheeks on this baby! Now we want to buy a camera so we can affix it to other people's heads. Good work, GoPro -- your commercial w
See Will Ferrell’s Secret Old Milwaukee Super Bowl 2013 Commercial
Will Ferrell filmed an ad for Old Milwaukee that aired during the Super Bowl last night. But you probably didn't see it. The ad only played in three places -- Sherman, Texas, Ardmore, Oklahoma, and Glendive, Montana.
Twitter Thinks Bane Caused the Super Bowl XLVII Blackout
We're going to pretend all of these people are hilarious and not morons. When the 2013 Super Bowl was delayed by a power outage, most people took it as a chance to actually talk to the people at their football party. These people decided to make jokes on Twitter that the half hour of darkness was actually 'The Dark Knight Rises' villain Bane's fault.
Best Super Bowl 2013 Commercials
It's the biggest sporting event of the year, and the ads of Super Bowl 2013 are living up to their expectations. Thank goodness, because the amount of money spent on Super Bowl commercials makes it really disappointing when they're not good...
Watch Andy Samberg Try to Win Over Tegan and Sara
Is it okay if we think this is the funniest thing Andy Samberg's done since he left 'SNL'? It's going to have to be okay, because this interview with indie rock twins Tegan and Sara is the funniest thing Andy Samberg's done in a while.
NYC Subway Commuters Subjected to Hilarious Panhandler Prank
Generally speaking, we would say please PLEASE leave commuters alone. They're already suffering the indignity of being elbowed by teenagers in the throes of sweaty, bubblegum and Axe-scented passion. After a day of soul-crushing work most people just want to be left alone. But this prank on the 4 train might actually have made some people's days a little better.

The Best Manti Te’o Jokes on Twitter
Have you been on Twitter lately? It's really just a repository for Manti Te'o jokes. Ever since it was revealed yesterday that Te'o's story about his perfect girlfriend dying of cancer was a big fat sham (for the full story, this is a good source), the only purpose anybody has to go on Twitter right now is to make jokes about it. Here are some of our favorites, although there are so many it's real
