We’d like to dedicate this week’s post to Photoshop, which has made possible a barren and omnipresent wasteland of flawless billboard pod people whose pictures make it increasingly difficult to feel like a somewhat acceptable-looking human being if you happen to be the bearer of pores.

Sue Galloway, don’t let the bastards get you down. You look fab. Now go forth, and use your winnings to buy some jorts.

Everyone who was lucky enough to attend last Saturday’s screening at the LA Comedy Shorts Fest already knows this, but we’re proud to announce the newest series from Front Page Films (the gang behind the Doctor and Hotel series) Kid Farm, the story of the Engvalls, the family with, you know, around 17 kids. The trailer is all over the internets, but more episodes will be arriving exclusively on Atom. Check out the depressingly accurate trailer right here!

This week, we’re in limbo between our 50 week milestone and our one year anniversary! All around the limbo clock, hey, let’s do the limbo rock!

How low (well…high, actually) did you go?

The gang from Comedy Central‘s newest show, Workaholics, which premieres Wednesday, April 6th, at 10:30p/9:30x, sat down with close personal friends at Jokes.com in lovely Miami, Florida, to talk about their show and how they got their start on the Internet, and how their process for making Internet videos (shoot anywhere you can, mostly your house and your office) informed their process for the show, which takes place in… a house and an office.

Watch their great series Crossbows and Mustaches right here on their site!

It’s that time of year again, where we rev up the action on the Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge. Think you’ve got what it takes to capture George Lucas’ attention? Submit your Star Wars-themed video for your chance at a nod from the big man himself!

Unfamiliar with the contest? Let us break it down for you:

You submit short-form fan-made movies to The Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge before the deadline, June 6th at 12 noon PST, sharp. One lucky submission will be crowned the “George Lucas Selects” recipient by the big GL himself.

For more detailed info and complete rules and submission guidelines, check out the info page.

Submit your best stuff and the next winner could be you:

Happy 50th (week) anniversary, guys! Help yourself to a piece of cake and a pass at the chocolate fountain. Champagne is over there. Just don’t get too buzzed, because we are so not above plastering your sloppy mess all over the internet. On second thought, that could probably be pretty big. Get on it. We’ll be over here slow dancing to the sweet dulcet tones of the Atom Tournaments.

On to the winners!

We sure ain’t foolin’ when we say this Tournament Contender has scored the first Atom Pick of April. That means tons of cash for spicybackpain, tons of babies shooting out of disembodied uteri for us. Money is cool, but I think we all know who the true winners are in this situation (us!*).

*April Fools!! (About the “us” part, not about the Atom Pick part, because seriously, how dickish would that be? Super dickish. But because this is the day of the prank, of lots of rib-tickling gotchya-ness, of rolling on the floor and holding your sides to stop yourself from bursting with unbridled joy and amusement at the utter hilarity of said pranks, we could be fooling about that, too. This could all be some elaborate, official-looking, dream-killing prank on just one member, spicybackpain, whose hopes we got up and then dashed upon the jagged rocks of reality. But we would never do that. Not us. Congrats, spicybackpain! You’re still a winner!)**

**OR ARE YOU?***

***Yes, for real. Good job.

It’s almost officially Summer Time, and what better way to get ready than by getting the living mess scared right out of you. That’s right, the crazy maniacs who brought you “Saw” and “Paranormal Activity” are back with a new jam, “Insidious.” Check out the trailer and then, when you’ve recovered, go out and see the movie, in theaters everywhere starting April 1st!

And if you’re still freaking the F out, here’s a light hearted parody of Paranormal Activity to help smooth you over:

What did you do this month? Did you hang out on South Beach in your pink visor and blinged-out sunglasses chain talking about pistol whipping Busta Rhymes?

No?

Dammit. I had hoped you were Ice Cold Rhoda (and/or Rachel Feinstein) and that I could brag that famous Yiddish homegirls read this blog.

Oh well, watch this clip and take notes. Maybe someday you’ll get this fresh and I can brag about you, too:

It’s week 49 of the Tournament, and according to this handy chart, that means you should be showering us with “luxuries, any kind” to celebrate. While we patiently wait for our mailboxes to fill with unbridled extravagance, we’ll preemptively forward along some of those riches (in the form of cold hard cash) to these noble winners:
