Top Ten Calvin Klein Obsession Ads

Oh, Eva Mendes. Eva, Eva, Eva... There we were, having a normal day at the office, Googling ex-girlfriends and taking clandestine shots from our flask, when all of a sudden you showed up and now... now our minds are like oceans -- calmed before the storm, but after the winds and rains, boiling at the thought of you and all the other Calvin Klein Obsession ads we've seen. Oh, how laughable, that we thought we'd never see them again. And how lucky for you, dear reader, that our favorites are here - featuring Kate Moss, Benicio Del Toro, Heather Graham, a bunch of other nameless hotties, and some deeply ridiculous Europeans in turtlenecks -- waiting for you and you alone... after the jump.

Test Your Troy McClure Memory

Troy McClure, the Phil Hartman-voiced, fish-fetishizing has-been movie star, was one of the greatest characters on The Simpsons (or any other show, for that matter). You may remember him, of course, from such films as "P" Is for Psycho and The President's Neck Is Missing! But can you differentiate Troy's filmography from the titles of actual bad movies made by actual movie studios? The fine folks at Mental Floss have created a quiz to help you find out.

Plus: When you're done with that, check out this groovy Troy McClure fan site. And when you're done with that, watch Troy in the classic musical Stop the Planet of the Apes, I Want to Get Off! It's the part he was born to play!

Phil Hartman: You May Remember Me From Such Tragedies As Ten Years Ago Today

Not to bring the mood down or anything, but we couldn't let the 10th anniversary of the terrible death of Phil Hartman pass us by without a mention. On Saturday Night Live, The Simpsons, and NewsRadio, Hartman was more than a gifted mimic or an eccentric personality with flawless timing: he was a machine, tossing off hilarity the way Iron Man deflects bullets. Many is the time we've thought how much better the world would be if Hartman were still around. Can you even imagine him in the same room as Tracy Morgan? Our feeble mindgrapes melt at the thought.

There are tons of iconic Phil Hartman moments and characters -- way too many to embed here -- but perhaps you'd be interested in a bonkers commercial he did for an Activision hockey game and a way obscure clip of from The Gong Show Movie?
