For those who missed the Daily Show last night
Jon Stewart had a hilarious segment summing up the Scooter Libby Trial. It was the funniest thing I’ve seen on the Daily Show since the rerun of the previous day’s Daily Show three hours earlier. Click here to view.
Have You Really Met Myspace Tom?
Matt Besser continues to make me laugh.
Public Service Announcement… (Bears Related)
If you are living in or around the Chicago-Land area – be prepared for the press to try and make fun of you with the Bears being in the Superbowl.
One trick they have up their sleeve is: “Do you know the words to Bear Down Chicago Bears?”
You do now. Don’t get caught unawares. That’s an embarassment to this city. Even if you don’t care about football – for God’s sake – learn the song. Let’s not give the lazy reporters anything to talk about, k?
Bear down, Chicago Bears, make every play clear the way to victory;
Bear down, Chicago Bears, put up a fight with a might so fearlessly.
We’ll never forget the way you thrilled the nation with your T-formation.
Bear down, Chicago Bears, and let them know why you’re wearing the crown.
You’re the pride and joy of Illinois, Chicago Bears, bear down.
Bear down, Chicago Bears, put up a fight with a might so fearlessly.
We’ll never forget the way you thrilled the nation with your T-formation.
Bear down, Chicago Bears, and let them know why you’re wearing the crown.

A Retrospective, Part III
“Heeeeeey baby, it’s not often that we see each other, that’s why I cherish every moment that we spend together.”
Circle Circle Dot Dot
I don’t know what kind of career Jamie Kennedy is going to end up having – but damn I like that guy.
Here’s another example of his awesome style. A video done with lego characters?? Fuck off White Stripes – why didn’t you do something like this? Then you might still be around.
Between this and Rollin’ with Bob Saget – I just think this guy is hilarious. I hope he’s making enough money to keep being funny.
** KSFW (Kinda Safe For Work) Plug in the headphones – there are some …questionable… lyrics in this one – although the video itself – not so bad…
Forget the Players, It’s Surreal for Me!
Top of the Morning to Ya! I watched all the news last night and tried to catch all the shows that send people to media day to get a glimpse of more national coverage of our Bears in Miami. Every time I see a 2nd teamer or practice squad guy messing with a Mexican hottie reporter, it reminds me of how sweet this is.
More Bears, Obama/Clinton, Stroger and Scooter the Geek, after the jump.
Weather Babe Watch
If you don’t know, I have a thing for Weathergals.
I went on a “crusade” to save Michelle Leigh’s job at Fox – and failed. But I had a lot of fun, and got to meet the spunky gal.
For anyone out there that still watches Fox32’s news (and I think we do now, because we have no idea what Byron Harlon is going to do next…) – our familiar weatherdude, RickDiMaio – is gone.
And replaced with a gal from Philadelphia. Amy Freeze. Yup. That’s her name. Now, I’m not reporting anything new here – Feder let this out yesterday – but I feel as though it’s my duty to mark it here – and ask the all important question: Being from Philadelphia, Pat’s or Geno’s?
Mix Tapes – America’s New Terrorism
Did you see the story about the law raiding a mix tape office in Georgia? See, mix tapes are the way to get to the streets. The artists release their music to DJ’s and mixmasters first to get street cred and to pump up the promotion on the record (see Nas, Kanye). But the record industry wants it all! All of it! Or nothing! Don’t you imagine the head of the record industry in fluffy medieval dress making decisions like he’s the evil king in Braveheart? I do. If I knew it was against the law, I would have never put Beautiful South and the Pharcyde followed by Lyle Lovett on a tape for Amy Anderson. Anyway, I hope they never catch us. Schadenfreude made a mix tape. We just wanted to get it on the streets before we made some serious money off of it.

We’re not just YouTube here at schad.net.
We’re deeper than the metaphorical puddle. We also cross time, space and language barriers. How? Check out this sketch from “Back in the Day”. We bring the past to you, on the internet. Any time of you day you wish.

I’m Cursed.
I always like to think that I’m in the right. But I’m beginning to think otherwise. I’ve had a 2000 GMC Jimmy for about 4 years now.
In those 4 years, I have been rear-ended 3 times. Once in Minnesota (there’s video of the aftermath somewhere – I’ll get Adam on that). Once was in Chicago, right underneath Lake Shore Drive in front of Navy Pier, some tourist was doing a “Jetson” across 3 lanes of traffic – and failed. And now last night. heading north on LaSalle, to the gas station by the Rock ‘n Roll McDonald’s – BAM! Some kid, trying to change lanes, and not paying attention.
Is it because the car is red? Is it because I just have negative car energy around me? I don’t know. But thank God for phones with cameras – here’s a little gallery of the crash up.
The good news? I’m renting a car from Enterprise – they DO pick you up!

Tuesday 24 Wrap Up – 11 AM – 12 PM
So, you thought you had a rough Thanksgiving. Aunt Jean not talking to Uncle Bob?
Screw you. Try being a Bauer.
It starts with having a lame name, like Graem, and ends with an Oedipal Complex that would make the ancient Greeks spin in their graves.
Last night’s recap, observations – and a huge bonus after the jump.
Sometimes You Have To Bloody Up an Audience to Get Through!
If you saw a Schadenfreude show from 1998 to 2004, you probably saw me strip down to my lady underpants and rip a beating heart (caro syrup/food coloring) out of Sandy and bite it. The blood would trickle down my face and my body. It was a great, weird ending to a solid sketch comedy show. I learned a couple things along the way to the art of the “heart pull”…..
Pot is practically legal here.
Here, courtesy of Ryan Anglin’s refrigerator, are two ads you can find in every L.A. paper, every week. You can go get evaluated to see if you need medical marijuana. Personally I think you get the cuffs slapped on you for even stepping foot in one of these scams, but I am told otherwise.
In My Never-Ending Search for a C&D…
It’s just this thing I have. I feel as though you haven’t really “arrived” as a blog until you get a Cease and Desist letter from some major corporation. It’s like earning your strips. Gives you street cred.
Gives you something you can tell your kids about.
“Hey Matthew, George, Ana-Lucia, Margaret, Gregory, Arnold, Butternut, Bilbo – come gather round, your papa’s got a story about this one time, he went up agains Apple.”
So here’s my latest attempt.
Turns out that the world of fanboys went crazy when they saw the new Jesus Phone from Apple. It does everything – makes calls, gets messages AND will save your soul. On top of that – when Mr. Jobs did his Keynote announcing it, he did a demo, which included a ringtone that sounded this close to Angels dancing on happy clouds while eating cheezy poofs.
I wanted that ringtone. So did half the nation. Nay. The entire nation – you just don’t know it yet. Well. I found it – and a couple other sites got C&Ds when they posted them, so here’s my shot at it. Ready?

So… Now That Vampires Are Played Out
Is America ready for werewolf movies?
I’m gonna say no.
This opened this weekend. Here’s the synopsis:
With the Five on her tail, a young beautiful werewolf named Vivian seeks peace in the arms of Aiden while escaping the never-ending infatuation Gabriel has on her. But when a string of accidental murders happen, this threatens to rip and expose her pack apart.
I’m gonna go with my original theory: No. America, ne – the World, does not need this drivel.
Hey Hollywood – give us a break from vampires and werewolves.
Let’s Play Name That Bear!
Let’s play name that Bear this morning. Yeah, there’s Urlacher. And Briggs behind him. But who is the Bear in front of Urlacher? Come on die hard fans, try to guess without googling. Other stories after the jump? Fighting Colts fans; Bill Zwecker’s awesome line; and changing teen driving laws.
Any Adventurers Out There? Casting Call! Casting Call!
We here at schad.net are here for you. My sister-in-law just forwarded me the following email. Looks like The Eye (CBS) is looking for some pirates. And by pirates, they mean hot 20-30 something men and women to go do the Pirates of the Carribbean for Mark Burnett.
Interested? Details after the jump…
Great sketch
Here’s a great sketch with David Cross as “Russ Lieber” being interviewed by Stephen Colbert as “Stephen Colbert.”

We now return you to your previously scheduled website already in progress.
**We’ll do that every once in awhile – listen to you – so if you have anything else you’d like to see done ’round these parts – email Stephe – he does the magic with the interweb.**
