To celebrate the debut of the Screen Team Show, the Screen Team reveals their first movie memories. I personally talk about the awesomeness that is Who Framed Roger Rabbit? I also show some love to Meteor Man.

So, want the Comic-Con experience but don’t have the money to get to San Diego? No worries. Los Angeles/Pasadena has you covered Memorial Day weekend with the inauguration of the Los Angeles Rock’n Comic Con 2010.
The weekend long convention (May 28-30) is put together by FAME LA and Animation Ink, in an effort to support the animation, arts, music and film industries. The weekend will be a celebration of comics, gaming, concerts, performances and special guests. One of the biggest highlights in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, done by the king of comics himself STAN LEE, CREATOR OF MARVEL COMICS, EXCELSIOR!!!
No, not me. The real one, I swear.
Like many conventions, there will be booths, celebrities, cosplayers and goodies galore. But what’s interesting about this convention is that it will also have several musical performances (hence the “Rock’n” portion of “Rock’n Comic Con”). A Flock of Seagulls, Dramarama, When in Rome and The Hotels will just be some of the bands in attendance.
Other highlights include a panel of famous femme fatales (drool!), a Star Wars light saber battle re-enactment (take that, Civil War!), Cosmic Play Girls in superheroine costume (drool again!) and panels on sci-fi, horror, voice-overs and special FX.
Plus, the co-creator of the Ren & Stimpy theme song will be there. I’m sold.
You can find more info and get tickets from their website, www.rockncomiccon.com. I should know shortly if I will be making an appearance at the Con, so I will let you know in case you want to come say hi or glomp me.
Summer is a good time for conventions, so I will keep you posted of any more I see on the horizon, especially any I will be attending. You know I will be hitting up “the big one” in July. But until then, I think this would be a nice, fun Comic Con to attend, especially for the Memorial Day weekend. EXCELSIOR!!!
BarelyDigital.com has a music video series called The Key of Awesome and they are looking for the funniest YouTube music videos of 2009 that they didn’t make. The winner flies out to Los Angeles (or in my case, drives out, I guess). Plus, the winner will CAMEO IN A WEEZER MUSIC VIDEO! Yes!

One of my favorite moments of Anime Expo 2010 was so special, it had to be a clip of its own. I ran into a guy I call “Jigglypuff Elvis” and asked him if he would sing a song with me, impromptu, on camera. He suggested the Pokemon theme song. Our song signals a Wobbuffet and an audience applause. This is the kind of magic that happens at Anime Expo. As an added bonus, a beatbox with a guy playing the Super Mario Bros. theme song on a vuvuzela and give a shout-out to the YouTubers I met at AX 2010.
The Screen Team give their reactions to the 2009 Golden Globes. I personally discuss Mo’Nique and Avatar.

Want to wear Black Nerd Comedy stuff on yourself? Well, now you can! The Black Nerd Store, powered by Spreadshirt, is now officially OPEN FOR BUSINESS. At BlackNerdStore.com, you can buy Black Nerd Comedy shirts and merchandise. Plus original and funny pop culture-related shirts. And I created all of the designs myself. Awesomepants!
New items will be added regularly and there will be more to come. The “SHOP” menu item will still be a page on here, because soon I will be adding merchandise that you won’t be able to buy from Spreadshirt: ONLY from BlackNerdComedy.com. In the meantime, enjoy the Spreadshirt store.
And I’m completely open to suggestions on anything related to the store. If you have favorite quotes you’d like to see as a design, specific items you’d be interested in seeing, etc., please let me know. I make this store for you. And I thank you.
This idiot encourages a small boy to light a pile of flash powder at point blank range. Congratulations dad, your son is blind.
Have you ever wondered how Link would fare in The Mushroom Kingdom? Or Mega Man? Or one of the dudes from Contra? Or Samus? Or Simon (Belmont, not Cowell)? Well, now you can. Thanks to Exploding Rabbit, a contributor to Newgrounds.com, you can! In the Flash game Super Mario Bros. Crossover, play the original Super Mario Bros. using any of these classic characters (or Mario, too, of course)
And it’s not just lame character skins over the same actions (cough, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, cough). Pick a character and use their unique abilities: Link’s boomerang, Samus ScrewAttacks, Mega Blasters, and that crazy Castlevania S&M whip… they’re all here! No word yet if you can use The Contra Code, but until then, enjoy this Flash game full of epic win. Special thanks to @SammDogg for pointing this out to me.
I am proud to announce that my video response to Charles Barkley’s Saturday Night Live monolgoue is the #1 YouTube Spotlight Video for today. It is the #1 video under the People & Blogs category and also occasionally shows us on the main Videos page. Yay! Thanks so much for everyone who checked out and promoted the video. Especially to those of you who got the joke. Also, thanks to YouTube who came up with a great new title for the video, “Black Nerd Versus Barkley.” I like it!

Me and my friends The @FilmBadgers of the Screen Team will definitely miss LOST. So we came up with some ideas of spin-off shows with our favorite characters. Look for my cameo as Michael. I get to yell a favorite word. (Screen Team: http://screenteamshow.com)
Recently, Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas announced they were an item (Demi, take the advice of Taylor Swift and get rid of your phone). This made me think of other times Disney Channel stars ever hooked up… entertainment-wise that is. Here’s 13 times where Disney Channel stars collaborated with other Disney Channel stars. Why 13? Cause I like PRIME NUMBERS! IT’S A PRIME LIST!
For The Lion King deluxe DVD release, a bunch of Disney Channel stars got together to sing the “Circle of Life.” This was when Disney Channel was in its prime. Hilary Duff, Christy Romano and Raven-Symone in the same shot? They were the Disney Channel queens until Demi/Selena stepped in. As awesomepants as this song is, two things stand out. One, why is the voice of Penny Proud there? I mean, you don’t actually ever see her face in The Proud Family. It’s a cartoon! And two, is it me or does Smart Guy Tahj Mowry have the same singing face in every shot? Surely he’s not lip syncing. Surely he’s not.
If it works once, why not do it again? For the Cinderella deluxe DVD release, the Disney Channel stars reunited to sing. However, Duff was done and Romano’s too busy doing Kim Possible, so time for the new kids to take over. Sheesh, big mistake, because these kids can’t sing! Ashley and Aly (sans AJ) holds their own, but Phil, Zack and Cody have so much auto-tune, you’d think they were white T-Pains. But that aside, it’s still has a catchy beat and its so cute to see the Disney tweens merge.
Just one question… WHY IS PENNY PROUD BACK? I’m kidding. Mad love for the Pratt. Keep rocking those Dr. Dolittle direct-to-DVD sequels.
It’s funny that the main characters from Disney Channel shows are the ones hyped up as singers, but one of my personal favorite Disney Channel songs stars the side character from Hannah Montana and the side character from Sonny with a Chance. This song (for the Disney Channel movie Hatching Pete in case you care, which you don’t) is peppy, catchy and just plain fun! Not about Idol-esque note holding or passionate messages. Just a freakin’ pop song with a band. Ah, Mitchell and Tiffany, you hold a special place in my Disney Channel heart. Thank you.
Sorry Conan O’Brien, but I have to be a little cynical here. You mean to tell me Demi Lovato announces she’s dating Joe Jonas… RIGHT AS THIS SONG COMES OUT??? What, you didn’t think Disney’s Oceans movie couldn’t carry it enough. And what the heck does “make a wave” mean anyway. In life? In the ocean? In your hair? Whatever, I’m going back to the Mitchell Musso/Tiffany Thornton song.
At the time this song came out, rumors were rampant. Miley hated Selena. Nick broke up with Miley. Nick hooked up with Selena. Demi may want to be more than BFFs with Selena. Okay, made the last one up. But all rumors were squashed when the Disney kids came together for this anthem for Disney’s Friends for Change program. So you see, there’s one thing that can stop petty bickering… your required obligation to volunteer from the Walt Disney Company.
Also, gotta feel bad for poor Selena Gomez here. Miley sings with boyfriend Nick, Demi sings with boyfriend Joe… and Selena’s stuck with Kevin, the wingman of the Disney Channel stars.
OMG, Selena and Demi are best friends. OMG, Selena and Demi should do a movie together called Princess Protection Program. OMG, Selena and Demi should DO A SONG FOR PRINCESS PROTECTION PROGRAM! OMG, Disney just made a crapload of cash off of former Barney kids.
Um, excuse me, shouldn’t this be “WE’VE Got the Party With Us.” I’m just saying. Let’s show the kids proper English.
Awesome, it’s the Mitchell Musso/Tiffany Thornton song again. Except that’s not Tiffany Thornton, that’s the female version of the kid in The Sixth Sense. And that’s the song from Monsters Inc. And that’s… ugh. Sorry Mitchell, stick with Tiffany and band geeks.
When you get the star of Hannah Montana and Cory in the House together, along with their best friend and brother respectively, what do you get the little tykes to do? Freestyle rap to a Dr. Dre beat and dance to a song that tells you to, quote, “Superman that ho.” Makes perfect sense to me.
Seriously Corbin, this was post High School Musical… 2! Aren’t you a little old to be skipping through the fields with MiCy. If you were a movie, you’d be on Lifetime. And I’d call Chris Hanson. And you would be in jail in the end. You’d be showering, dropping the soap then… let’s just stop the song parody here. It only gets worse.
Maddie’s school puts on a production of High School Musical and Maddie loses the part of Sharpay to London. YOU GET IT, BECAUSE THE ACTRESS THAT PLAYED MADDIE ALSO PLAYED SHARPAY! THAT’S FUNNY! This clip’s pretty funny, and best of all, neither Zack nor Cody sing during this performance. And you also get the gay kid from Ugly Betty. Bonus!
Blah blah blah, Miley Cyrus joke. Blah blah blah, Nick Jonas dating Miley Cyrus joke. Who cares? I just want to finish this list so I can go back to the Mitchell Musso/Tiffany Thornton song. “I don’t care what they say, I’ll just be me / The only person that I want to be…”
There’s so many I could’ve chosen for lucky 13. That’s So Suite Life of Hannah Montana or Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana or the upcoming (I’m fantasizing) I’m in the Suite Life of Zeke & Aaron Stone, So Good Luck Charlie in the House of Waverly Place.
But this trumps them all, an event that brings all your favorite stars together…. the Battle of the Network Stars… I mean Circus of the Stars… I mean Disney Channel Games. Running at least 3 summers straight, stars from various Disney Channel stars (except for the ones too big to do this) competed in sporting events of Double Dare like proportions to determine which Disney Channel kids are most athletic and which ones need to lose more weight. This clip is from its 1st year when it was awesome and I knew everyone on the teams. The following years they did International teams… BORING! Do I LOOK like I watch Disney Channel Australia???
Alright, that’s it. I’m done with list. Smart move making your Disney Channel kids work together. I hope other networks follow suit, cause the world needs an iCarly/True Jackson VP collaboration song. Now if you’ll excuse me, there’s a Mitchell Musso/Tiffany Thornton song that needs my undivided attention…
Last weekend, Date Night starring Steve Carell and Tina Fey opened, was #1 at the box office, and then got that taken away by a bunch of CGI Krakkens. But the Screen Team saw it and most of us liked it or thought it was so-so. I’m in the review, too, liking the movie, demanding a 30 Rock/The Office crossover, making a very obscure Vanessa Hudgens song reference and blackmailing the FilmBadgers.

The (key of) awesome folks at Barely Political made a hilarious video during VidCon about “Troly-Poly” -- the best YouTube troll ever. A gaggle of YouTube weblebrities appear in this “documentary” talking about why Troly-Poly’s negative comments are so important to YouTube. People like Alphacat, Phillip DeFranco/Sxephil, Tay Zonday, Suburban Homeboy, iJustine, Michael Buckley/What the Buck, Meekakitty… and… wait a second… is that a Black Nerd I see before me? That’s right, I’m in the video, too! Woo hoo! Look at that black guy and his face.

I celebrate the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. for the 8-bit NES. But even though Super Mario games are near-perfection and I have a “Super Mario Bromance,” I do have a few complaints about Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, 3 and Super Mario World. Here is a list of 7 things I actually hate about Super Mario. Including Hammer Brothers, missing features, misspellings and a gender-confused mini-boss. Plus I announce being on Vsauce and StirfryTV, plus give a hint on future videos.
COMMENT: What do you NOT like about Super Mario Bros. games? And would you like to see more “Countdown List” style videos?
