Several child actors from popular '80s and '90s sitcoms and film such as Charles in Charge, Step by Step, Mr. Belvedere and others, have joined forces under the name of CCOKC (Child Celebrities Opposing Kirk Cameron), which is pronounced "cock," naturally. The group has committed themselves to raising awareness about a "serious threat to our civil rights — Kirk Cameron's stupid opinions," and the result is sheer delight. more ›

PBR, Dolores Park, Madrone, salted-caramel, guys who wear those brightly colored sunglasses, waiting in line like sheep for ice cream, start-ups, average-size penises — Chris Avery's parody rap video 'SF Playa' pokes fun at San Francisco's current state of insufferable smugness. (With nary a mention of anything gay, like the time-honored tradition of performing fellatio in the back room at the Powerhouse, we can't say it encompasses the full San Francisco-lifestyle package. But we're splitting hairs.) It also features an all-too-brief appearance from Wall-E. Good stuff. Enjoy. more ›

Yesterday evening an electrical worker found himself stuck in a SoMa manhole after he reportedly fell down the ladder at Howard and Fremont Streets. The electrical worker, who was apparently not part of PG&E's crack team according to the utility company, called the Fire Department for assistance around 9:20 p.m. Sunday night. It took rescue workers on the scene a solid 30 minutes to get the man out, but not before one of their own became stuck himself, leading to this awkward yet hilarious "2 men, 1 hole" series of notifications from @Emergency_In_SF San Francisco's unofficial emergency twitter account: more ›

Disgraced GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum claimed earlier this week that the University of California is responsible for ruining this country because they don't teach American history. This, of course, isn't true. All UC schools offer American history courses except for UCSF, the college system's noted medical school. (They do, however, offer a History of Medicine and Health Sciences course!) Last night, Stephen Colbert took on Santorum's latest inane claim, telling us exactly from where Rick pulled his facts. Behold: more ›

Today at a campaign event in Wisconsin, Republican presidential hopeful and jellybean fan Rick Santorum attempted to demonize California for eroding the values of Heartland, America. Santorum, who also believes that Obama was effectively brainwashing kids by sending them to college, claimed today that California Universities are partially responsible for ruining this country because they don't teach American History. Which is, of course, a completely incorrect statement. more ›

Forget Shitter. Dragon Lovers Camera is the app you really need. In fact, it might be the only app you'll ever need. Why? Because: dragons! more ›

Saturday Night Live recently hired a new female comic, Kate McKinnon, known for her work with Upright Citizens Brigade and the Big Gay Sketch Show. The latter hints at the fact that, yes, McKinnon is gay, which effectively makes her SNL's first openly lesbian featured player. (Terry Sweeney, who appeared in the disastrous 1985-86 season, was the show's first openly gay guy.) She makes her debut this Saturday when Sofia Vergara hosts. more ›

Behold Shitter, the latest entertainment app that will create four rolls of toilet paper out of a chosen Twitter feed. You can choose your own, sure, but that wouldn't be nice. You're a great person. Wouldn't you instead prefer to wipe your bottom sparkling clean with the stank words of, say, disgraced dirtbag Karl Rove, heartthrob turned creepy Hollywood type Scott Baio, or noted domestic abuser Chris Brown? The possibilities are endless. more ›

Basically everything is trippy slowed down by 800%. The true music geeks among you should enjoy this, as well as the same thing done to the Sanford & Son theme song. more ›

Good heavens, that's a lot of American cheese! Incomparable hot dog swallower Takeru Kobayashi showed up at dippy SXSW this weekend to chow down on 13 grilled cheese sandwiches in 1 minute. Looks tasty. And gross. We hope he has a regular fiber intake routine, because that sure is a lot of processed cheese and bread. Egads. Anyway, enjoy. more ›

Sons of Science set their humorous ditty "Motherfucking Bike" to video. The result? This comedic amuse-bouche featuring a slew of San Francisco cyclist stereotypes. It could've been more pointed, sure, but it's delightful and won't bruise the chronically tender feelings of those who choose to ride two-wheeled machines of danger! Anyway, enjoy. more ›

DollarShaveClub.com bills itself as a new membership-only company that promises to "shave time, shave money" by shipping you an order of razors every month without all of the pricey Mach3-Quattro-esque hoopla. According to the LA Times, "The company estimates that it will save members as much as $292 per year on shaving." But according to Mike, founder of DollarShaveClub.com, the clip you're about to see is one of the greatest (not to mention hilarious) moments in advertising history. (Who knew that combining "handsome-ass grandfather" and "polio" would have us reaching for our credit card number so quickly!) more ›

Please observe this darling little Peruvian hummingbird, called an Amethyst-throated Sunangel (Heliangelus amethysticollis), and listen to it snore. Ahhh. For more fun from the same videographer, please see this darling baby swallow-tailed nightjar. more ›

The fashion reports from Pebble Beach keep rolling in. First it was San Francisco Giants pitcher Matt Cain stepping out in argyle with the Giants broadcast team and now we have 2012 Bill Murray channeling 1980 Bill Murray and hitting the links in what appears to be an Army-issue camouflage ghillie suit for the AT&T National Pro-Am on Saturday. So far no incidents of exploding fairways have been reported. more ›

Mission Bicycle recently unveiled via Facebook a bicycle for children named after the area's neighboring 'hood, Noe Valley (a neighborhood stereotypically teeming with families and lesbians and lesbians with families) called "The Noe." Cute, right? Well, according to the Mission Bicycle employe SFist spoke with today, it's a joke. Said employee claimed it was a potshot at poor, innocent Noe Valley. Heh. Then again, the Mission District also bubbles over with, dare we say, native Latino kids residing in many, many parts of the Mission. But that's... well, it's not something any self-respecting Zeitgeist-going, Brian Wilson beard-growing, Tartine-queuing young adult chooses to think about too much. Kills the magic, you know? more ›

Wow. That was horrific. Don't get us wrong: We are not (that much of) a food snob, one who loudly sings the praises of "The Laundry," the latest obscure Mission District restaurant, or, far more obnoxious, an Oakland food truck. Aside from gastronomic trends that we enjoy, and then enjoy making fun of others for enjoying, we have a profound fondness for any sodium-rich treat that reminds us of our upbringing — e.g., Jeno's Pizza Rolls, Ding-Dongs. So it was with much anticipation that we headed out the door today and into San Francisco's Union Square to buy ourselves Jack in the Box's latest concoction, the Bacon Shake. Boy, was that a tummy error. more ›

SFist contributor Jerry James Stone brings us this eeee!-inducing clip of a bulldog riding a zip line in Costa Rica. Youtube user Garzilly, who shot the video, explains: "I filmed this in June 2010 during our honeymoon stay at Finca Bellavista; a tree-house community located in the southern zone of Costa Rica. Kimbo Slice is the resident bulldog and loves to zipline around the skytrail, a network of zipline trails around the property. Craziest thing I've seen in quite some time." more ›

We've done a 180-degree turn on Mr. Anthony Bourdain after viewing last night's San Francisco The Layover on The Travel Channel. Bourdain calls Swan Oyster Depot one of his favorite places in San Francisco, talks about crossing swords at The Tonga Room, slurs his words, and throws shade at food bloggers. At North Beach's Mr. Bing's, he yells, "You're going to get a lot of annoying, foodie f**kin bloggers saying...What kind of psychotic f**king freak would not love this place?" more ›

Via the fine folks at Laughing Squid, Weird Al Yankovic, Alice Cooper and Steven Tyler joined forces at Mala Restaurant in Maui, Hawaii on New Year's Eve to sing "Come Together" by The Beatles. Why? Who knows. Who cares. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy one of the world's greatest living entertainers as he performs with an American Idol judge and that old dude who wears black eye makeup. more ›

How did the woman who brought us Handi-Off turn into this paranoid, confused pile of a human being? Who can say. Only the voices that swim inside her head know for sure. But she sure is zany these days. Take, for example, the most recent bout of logic diarrhea she shat on Politichicks, her painful YouTube show: "I just went to a briefing in Washington DC, across the street from the Capitol, at the Longworth building at 8:30 am two days ago and it changed my life. For six hours, I saw pictures and names and dates and facts and Islamic law books and Korans, Surahs for six hours and they proved to me...that the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated our highest positions in government and this is serious." more ›

Well, this is fun. Muni Diaries brings our attention to a Bruce Lee look-alike caught rapping freestyle whilst riding a BART train the other day. Also, he has no shirt on thus showing off an admittedly taut and lovely body. Delightful. more ›

For better or for worse, the UC Davis pepper spraying cop has turned into a white-hot, photoshopped thing folks currently love to blast out over a sundry of social media outlets. Which is to say, it's now a meme. (Side note: are there any other terms that old-school print journalists love and love to abuse more than "viral" or "meme"? Like a sneezing panda or Rick Astley song, they're both so interwebby 2.0!) Here are a few we enjoy. We hope you do too. more ›

Ricky Gervais’s new sitcom Life’s Too Short debuted in the UK TV this week. We hope it's as good as his other work. This piece in particular, featuring Gervais, Stephen Merchant (fellow Office creator), and Liam Nesson do some improvisational comedy that, more or less, doesn't go over too well. more ›

We don't know who the Kaplans are, but we sure do like their style. Lauren and Michael Kaplan used edited footage from a recent trip to San Francisco to re-creating the intro to Full House, the greatest Friday night sitcom in ABC history. While it starts off with an eyebrow-cocking "San Fran" (forgive them for they know not what they do, commenters), the entire thing is delightful, humorous and well-produced. more ›

Mission Mission brings word that Martha Stewart, one of the most critical yet underrated philosophers in these our modern times, fell prey to San Francisco's sensitive cycling community over the weekend. It seems that, while shopping at Paxton Gate's Curiosities For Kids on tony Valencia Street, the (wrongfully!) convicted inside trader/domestic thinker parked her presumably gorgeous vehicle in the bike lane for a scant, very necessary five minutes. more ›
