Monica Seles is no longer the most notorious female athlete to grunt.

Global Smurfs Day is a thing. A thing that I'm sure that not too many of us were aware of. But, in preparation for the release of Smurfs 2 this summer, Sony Pictures UK has decided to put together the biggest Global Smurfs Day celebration on June 22nd.

Terrifying 'Ice Tsunami' Slowly Consumes Backyard, Houses in Minnesota

Chris Chaberski — Tue, 14 May 2013 14:00:02 +0000

Yikes. It’s like in a horror movie when the deadly fog gradually creeps closer and closer, gobbling up all living things in its path. Except it’s made of ice. In the startling, nearly seven-minute video shot on Saturday by Darla Johnson, ice atop Mille Lacs Lake in Minnesota makes its way off the surface of [...]

Watch the Most Unbelievable 3-Point Shooting Display Ever

Drew Weisholtz — Tue, 14 May 2013 01:30:17 +0000

There are sharp shooters and then there are razor sharp shooters. In a display of 3-point shooting accuracy that makes Stephen Curry look like Helen Keller, Laurie Koehn sank a mind-boggling 132 of 135 triples in a five-minute span. Five minutes! That’s longer than the time it took to realize the last ‘Die Hard’ was [...]

Wonder what life aboard the International Space Station is like? Well, if you are astronaut Chris Hadfield, it sounds a lot like a David Bowie song!

Wendy Reed — Thu, 09 May 2013 17:53:50 +0000

Celebrities often get a bad rap, but recently a group of celebs came together to do something really great for a young man with a form of bone cancer. Zach Sobiech was diagnosed with cancer when he was 14 and was not given a very good prognosis. Zach has handled his diagnosis, and the knowledge that he will not beat this disease with grace and joy and love. And it helped him discover that he has a real knack for song writing. He wrote a song as a final goodbye to his family and friends, and the video for it went viral. What happened next is truly awesome.

SNL: Zach Galifianakis Kills With His Opening Monologue

Jacob Hall — Sun, 05 May 2013 15:49:03 +0000

Some SNL hosts just feel like they were born to be on that stage and Zach Galifiankis is one of them. Rather than do a traditional monologue, he performed six minutes of his oddball, avant garde stand-up comedy. It was a great reminder that he may be a big movie star now, but he's still one of the great modern comedians.

Jacob Hall — Sun, 05 May 2013 15:22:25 +0000

Even after all of these years, SNL does fake commercials better than everyone else. However, last night's New Balance commercial parody is the cream of the crop -- it's hard to remember the last time the show made a fake ad that was this funny and spot-on. Check it out below.

Police Officer Saves Man's Life (video)

Andy Rent — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 14:06:29 +0000

There are some heart-warming things happening in our world today. They don't always get reported, however, so it is difficult to see sometimes with the Boston tragedy, flooding in West Michigan, etc. News tends to focus on the bad stuff, but here is a wonderful video of a little incident that happened in the country of Columbia.

Craig Russell — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 11:00:48 +0000

The fun thing about having to write blogs for WFGR.COM? I get to surf the net and find funny things. Some are just funny, others are hilarious, and some are just dumb. And some aren’t safe for work, so beware. Like the kid who started–and ended–his broadcasting career with a couple of ill-timed four letter [...]

Craig Russell — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:00:56 +0000

Birthday presents can be simple or can be unique and extravagant. And some are creative. And a wife’s present to her husband can be special even if it’s something she makes, not buys. Leigh knows her hubby Oren very well, and his love of TV shows is pretty obvious when you see her present to [...]

Supernatural Farts Haunt Ghost Hunters in 'Paranormal Gastivity'

GuySpeed Editors — Sat, 20 Apr 2013 16:54:03 +0000

The clip above does a great job of pointing out a simple fact that seems to elude the stars of ‘Ghost Hunters’: Farts are scarier than ghosts. Also, farts are real. Ghosts … not so much. We’d watch the heck out of ‘Paranormal Gastivity’ if SyFy green lit it. Hell, they could probably even make [...]

WFGR Retrovision: Nipsey Russell [VIDEO]

Matt Hendricks — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 16:30:29 +0000

Anyone remember Nipsey? I do, mostly from game shows from the 60′s-90′s! This is a guy that managed to stay on TV for almost 4 decades, for really, just being a polished and funny comedian. Plus of course his trademark poems and “Words of Wisdom”. Another not exactly TV legend, but for some reason, he [...]

How Bout We All Look At Some Cute Puppies?

Craig Russell — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 09:00:41 +0000

With all the events of the past day, maybe a break from all the real world stuff is needed. How about some cute puppies set to a soundtrack of please Adult Contemporary music of “Kiss Me” by Sixpence None the Richer? Works for me. Try not to smile and say “Awww”. Go on, I dare [...]
