I Kind of Want to Watch The Simpsons Again
Somebody at The Simpsons gets it. I haven’t watched the show in years, and I’m fairly certain all the new episodes are humorless and desperate, but somebody, somewhere, has their finger on the pulse of the exact level of camp that’s hilarious in 2016. How else do you explain this amazing Coach Gag that parodies the 80s to such a perfect degree?
That’s gold. And it’s an official Simpsons Coach Gag, to appear on an upcoming episode. That whole parody video is one bit of brilliance after another. Only to blow it in the final seconds with that bit about Maggie. But somewhere, it’s good to know somebody at The Simpsons understands what the hell they’re doing.

Only Leigh’s Year In Review
We here at Henchman-4-Hire are big fans of Internet cartoonist Only Leigh, so I see no reason not to share her 2015 year in review video! Warning, there are some Game of Thrones spoilers hidden inside, if you’re doing your darndest to avoid those things.
Great cartoons! And if you haven’t seen it yet, she did a pretty funny bit about BB-8.

A Short Film About a Girl Who Loves Hockey
It’s genius in its simplicity. A certain Internet mastermind, Jordan Hanzon, has edited the Pixar movie Inside Out to remove all the ‘inside’ parts that deal with Riley’s emotions. What’s left is a touching story about a girl struggling with moving to a new town. It’s just plain neat.
It’s such a simple but brilliant idea. I’m glad someone thought of it, though I wish it were me. I need to become Internet famous in 2016…

My 6 Favorite Things of 2015
And so we bid goodbye to another year. Overall, I think 2015 was good to me. I went to England, the first time I’ve been out of the country. I had a successful Kickstarter and self-published my first comic book, Gamer Girl & Vixen. I bought a new high-end computer. I got two new winter coats. Life is pretty good, all things considered.
So let’s engage in that great Internet tradition of counting down all the best pop culture of the year!
It was a year
What was my favorite movie of the year? My favorite comic book or TV show? Did I buy any good action figures this year? I know for a fact that I didn’t hear any new or interesting music in 2015, because I’m a square. But we definitely had a lot of fun stuff! From Age of Ultron to The Force Awakens, what did 2015 have in store?
And please share your own favorites in the comments!
6 Coolest Abominable Snowmen in Pop Culture
Christmas time has come once again, and being the easily manipulated fool that I am, I’m doing another Christmas List of Six! I’ve done elves, I’ve done reindeer, I did Santa Claus, and now I’m turning my attention to that lovable Christmas friend, the snowman!
But not just any snowman, I’m talking of course about…the Abominable Snowman!
This takes me back
The Yeti is a far cooler creature than someone like Frosty the Snowman, and the Yeti usually deals in a lot cooler magicks. Yes, yetis are real, and they totally practice magic. Everybody knows this. They live in the Himilayas. They’re the Asian branch of the Sasquatch family. It’s basic cryptozoology, everybody.
Join me after the jump for the coolest yetis and Abominable Snowmen in pop culture!
