Karl eats a knob at night

Tweet Those of you who are familiar with Karl Pilkington (which is most of you if you’re here) will remember his famous “knob at night” quote. When discussing the challenges on I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here during an episode of the Ricky Gervais Show podcast, Karl said that he couldn’t eat a kangaroo penis on an empty stomach and mused, “I could eat a knob at night.” That quote spread like wildfire and make Karl an icon. Now, thanks to An Idiot Abroad, it seems that Karl really did eat a knob, though I’m not sure if it was at night. … Read entire article »

Trashwire updates and such

Tweet It’s been a while since I last posted anything on this blog and I decided it was high time to update. Since we last spoke, I moved Trashwire to a new web host. As many of you (and our Twitter followers) know, I’d been more than a little displeased with the annoying downtimes of our former host. I’ve got to deliver Trashwire to the people 24/7! I can’t have some company standing in the way of your ability to read our completely unimportant-but-amusing ramblings! So far, so good with the new host but let me know if you notice any problems or glitches by using the contact form on the site. In other news, I decided to change the Featured Article block (that one with the larger picture off to the … Read entire article »

Big Brother 8

Tweet Trashwire will be covering CBS’ Big Brother 8 all summer on our Big Brother 8 Blog, a special section of the site dedicated to the ultimate summer guilty pleasure. You can check out the new section at trashwire.com/bb8 Here is a description of the new section: Years ago, CBS debuted a new reality series called Big Brother. Back then, the cast was older, the show was more interactive, high-speed internet access was rare, and the live-feeds were tiny, grainy images of a chicken coop for most of the day. Since then, the show has evolved into a summer guilty pleasure with eye-candy abound. Though there have been new twists in the game (the Power of Veto), new architecture in the house (the addition of a second story and HoH suite) and new … Read entire article »

Carlos Mencia Gets Served

Tweet Joe Rogan became my hero the other day when he went crazy on Carlos Mencia onstage at the Comedy Store. Mencia is a well-known joke thief in the comedy industry and Rogan was one comedian who had the balls to call him out on it. It was like something out of You Got Served as Rogan verbally kicked Mencia’s ass and the crowd cheered him on. The video, which has been circulating the internet, apparently got Rogan banned from the Comedy Store. That’s so insane! So, someone who steals other people’s jokes, yells annoying catch-phrases and brings little to the table in terms of talent can perform there, but not the person who stands up to said hack? I knew Rogan was a funny dude, but this makes him totally … Read entire article »

Death to Spammers

Tweet First, I want to say that I’m sorry the updates have been so few and far between this week. I’ve been really busy with real life stuff and I just haven’t had time to add anything great. On top of that, I’m still looking for some more writers to help me add some substance to this blog and to the main site. A few people have expressed interest and if you’re reading this and want to contribute, just post a comment here and I can send you an email. Any genre of content will do—celebrity gossip, movie reviews, rants, your favorite quotes, weird news stories from your local paper, web videos—anything is good. Second, and I know it may seem like I’m just making excuses, the amount of spam posts … Read entire article »
