Famous Twins, In Vivo


A collection of famous fictional twins as they may have looked in the womb. I can only imagine that babies being born with weapons and clothing would be a little disturbing. (Film Twins by Mr. Whaite, via That Geek Lover)

Can't We Nerds Just Get Along?


Captain RibMan has a dream: "From the sandy hills of Tatooine, let freedom ring; Let freedom ring from the mountains of Mordor; Let freedom ring from the plains of Rigel VII; Let freedom ring from the hallowed halls of Hogwarts. From every tree in Pandora, let freedom ring.

And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every alien village and every shire, from every castle to every city in the clouds, we will be able to speed up that day when all of The Force’s children—black men and white men and half-black-half-white men from Cheron from that one Trek episode, Muggles and wizards, those who want to believe and the skeptics, Jedi and Sith, Time Lords and Daleks, will be able to join hands and sing the words of the old Ewok spiritual, “Yub nub, yub nub.”

Available on redbubble and for cheap for a couple more hours on TeeFury.

The Many Faces of Gary Oldman


Who is Gary Oldman's hairdresser? They need an Oscar. I wonder what I'd look like with a Dracula? (Gary Oldman by Derek Eads; link via Pacalin)

Best Rock Collection Ever!


Of course the reason these rocks and minerals are so rare is because you have to break through the layer of adamantite to get to everything else. This almost makes me interested in geology. Almost.

Going Down To Hogwarts Gonna Have Myself A Time

Witches and wizards everywhere, magic folks without limitation. Emily Bob remakes the characters of Harry Potter as South Park characters.

Harry Potter Is Dirty Harry


"Police Inspector 'Dirty' Harry Potter is a hot-headed rookie fresh out of the Hogwarts Police Academy. His first assignment is a sadistic serial killer known only as 'Voldemort'. Dirty Harry will stop at nothing to solve this crime even if it means roughing up a few muggles along the way."

Well, Daniel Radcliffe has said he wanted more adult roles. (T-Shirt Laundry via Fashionably Geek)

Maybe You Can Hire The Pop Culture Team


Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the Pop Culture Team.

Glen Brogan put together the perfect stereotypical gang for Front Magazine. 'We have Peter Venkman as the ladies man, Donatello as the brains, Chewbacca as the muscle, Screech as the wild card, Dobby as the mascot, and the A-Team van as the vehicle."

The Tee Which Shall Not Be Named


What better t-shirt to wear to the premier of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows than John Tibbott's The Tee Which Shall Not Be Named? Well, it won't be ready to be worn by November 19 but you still have one day left to vote for this reference-apalooza shirt at Threadless. (Link via Shirtoid)

Harry Potter And The Sin City Hallows


Graphic designer Olly Moss gives the penultimate Harry Potter film a darker, cooler look in his illustration for Empire Magazine. Check the extra Voldemort touch on the scar. I still can't believe they broke Deathly Hallows into two parts. Just get rid of all the sulking around in the forest and boom, a much tighter film.

Geek Army Knife

This is the ultimate Swiss Army Knife. Who needs nail scissors, saws and screwdrivers when you have an array of weaponry like this? Really, what couldn't you accomplish? Damn heavy though.

Top: Noisy Cricket from Men in Black; Rorschach’s grappling gun from Watchmen; Frodo’s sword Sting from Lord of the Rings; He-Man’s Power Sword; Thor’s hammer; Obi-Wan Kenobi’s lightsaber, Harry Potter's wand; Lion-O’s Sword of Omens from Thundercats; James Bond’s Walther PPK.

Bottom: Doctor Who’s sonic screwdriver; Hellboy’s revolver; Star Trek phaser. (Geek Army Knife by Ian Summers)

Harry Potter And The Office Of Unemployment

Harry Potter and the Office of Unemployment

As the Harry Potter movies get darker, so do the parodies. This time round, a wizard runs off with everyone's tuition money and Hogwarts is turned into condos, forcing Harry and his classmates to hit streets looking for work.

MC Voldemort Owns Harry Potter


Poor Harry Potter, he just can't bring the hurt against Voldemort, even with his "Hagrid-sized balls."
I'm the darkest dark wizard in all of history
I'll slay your ass out like Cedric Digory
With a wave of my finger I'll put you on the floor
You a punk ass little kid without Dumbledore
I'm the best wizard rapper you ever will see
You're a puny rich midget with a dead mommy

Harry Potter And The Alternate Ending

The end of the Harry Potter saga, if it were written by:

Joss Whedon:
As the conflict with Voldemort comes to a head, Ron Weasley is suddenly and shockingly killed. Hermione responds with steely determination, joined by Luna Lovegood, who turns out to be a rare witch who has super-powerful martial arts skills. While Harry tries ineffectively to help—often with comic results—Luna kills the Death Eaters with Unblockable Scorpion Kicks and Hermione defeats Voldemort in a head-on battle of magic.

George Lucas:
The battle between Harry and Voldemort comes to a close with an exciting magical glowing sword fight in the never-before-seen high-tech part of Hogwarts during which Voldemort reveals that he's Harry's real father. Then the Death Star blows up.

George Orwell:
As the students looked in at the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix, they could no longer tell one from the other.

Scooby Doo writers:
As Lord Voldemort draws his last breath, he utters, "And I would have succeeded taking over the world if it weren't for YOU meddling kids."

And on and on like that, in many faux-authors voices, at Windypundit. (Link via Phangirl)

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Bunnies


Wow, that took way less time to watch than to read the first five books. And they need two movies to show Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? Maybe the 30-Second Bunnies should direct.

Yo Momma So Fat The Sorting Hat Put Her In All Four Houses

A call by the Nerdist for Hogwarts snaps pulled in over 400 highly-inappropriate Harry Potter insults. Here are a few of my faves:
dino_rider: Yo mama’s so ugly the Dementor’s Kiss was swapped out for a hearty handshake and a promise to give her a call sometime.

bradheintz: Yo mama so nasty, Dobby wouldn’t take her sock

Burnaway: Yo momma so skanky, even her patronus got knocked up

chompychomp: Yo mama so stupid, she drowned in a pensieve

melgotserved: Yo momma’s so fat she got stuck in the Floo Network
Read the full list at the Nerdist.

My Little Pony Madness

In the 1980s my sister was obsessed with My Little Pony. They were candy-coloured, sparkly and everything a teenage boy wanted nothing to do with. Some people have decided to do something about this. Tiffany, this is for you...

My Little Alien: I knew there was something wrong with My Little Pony, I just didn't know it would come bursting through my chest cavity. This, and several more are from Mari Kasurinen, who has a Flickr page, a Deviant Art site and a website devoted to her custom toy creations.


My Little Edward Scissorhands: A misunderstood My Little Pony with razor-sharp blades for hooves. Marvelous! It even looks like Johnny Depp!


My Little Buckbeak: Nothing really horrifying about this custom My Little Pony, in fact the Buckbeak was a friendly to Harry Potter. I just loved the look.


My Little Han Solo: Had carbonite freezing been available in my teen years, this is how all of my sisters Ponies would have ended up.


My Little Boba Fett: If you have My Little Han Solo, you naturally have to have My Little Boba Fett. Now no more of this before George Lucas gets any ideas.


My Little Borg: If the Borg were to assimilate everything then it follows that they would assimilate My Little Pony as well. But it would be there undoing...


My Little Cthulhu: H.P. Lovecraft's embodiment of extreme horror, terror and evil, Cthulhu is a perfect candidate for a My Little Pony mod.


My Little Worf: Comes with his own bat'leth. I think Klingons would secretly love My Little Pony, just like they love prune juice — because they are both so terrible.


My Little Master Chief: The Chief isn't quite as imposing as a pony, but I'd happily stick a few plasma grenades on him, just to see what happens.


My Little Trojan Horse: Ah, the Classical Studies education pays off once more. How could the Trojan's resist bringing in something so cute? Which makes me wonder about Trojan condoms — oh sure, it's clever, there's something hidden inside! But when it gets out (and it does) it will slaughter you and burn everything you have to the ground. Hmm, guess that's why I'm not in advertising.

And for good measure, Robot Chicken's Apocalypse Ponies: Pestilence Pony, War Pony, Famine Pony, and Death Pony.
