9 People On TV I’d Like To Hit With a Shovel



And I’ll show you the shovel. A pretty easy concept to wrap your head around. I’m ignoring “fish in a barrel” types like Rosie O’Donnell, Jay Leno, Simon Cowell, John Belushi, Carlos Mencia, etc. and they're not listed in any particular order. Feel free to add more.


9) Jimmy Fallon- Apparently he’s taking over "Late Night" for Conan O'Brien in '08. A talk show. That’s right, the premise of the show is… Jimmy Fallon… talking. I’m pretty sure I could work up the anger to punch him while on ecstasy.

I chose a nice, sturdy-looking shovel for him. Solid construction, easy-grip handle... I anticipate a nice loud "gong" on impact.



8) Stan Lee- "Who Wants To Be a Superhero? C’mon, man, you're a god. You created the Fantastic Four, you’re better than this. Average slobs clad in repurposed workout gear does not a super-hero make. ‘Nuff Said.

I picked out a plastic scooped, gravel shovel. More of a mercy shot, just hard enough to knock him out so he can be taken some place far away from ill-advised basic cable trainwrecks.



7) Bam Margera- When does “fucking with your parents” stop being funny? I mean, start. Whoa, there are goats in the living room! Now there’s a spaceship in our bedroom! Now there’s a-- Zzzzzz... This mascara’d douchebag is the absolute definition of unamusing. His MTV show actually opens with a VO guy asking. “What will Bam do next?” Bam answers “Anything I want.” 11 year-olds everywhere flip off their parents, and go about the task of cleaning their rooms.

A short, squat, uninteresting tool. I'd have trouble telling them apart, but I'd grab the one closest to me and use it on the other. Mercilessly.



6) Isaiah Washington- For being a huge, whiny baby. Denying. Admitting, Begging forgiveness. Denying again. Complaining. That’s a great way to spend six months.

An aluminum show shovel. Not much damage, I'm guessing. More of an umcomfortable slap.



5) The asian contestant from Top Chef- I’m not looking his name up. He is atrocious. Ironically, his personality is the one thing wretched enough to render his glorious-looking food inedible. He should serve people through a plastic bubble.

A child's toy shovel. I'd slap him around with it, then insult him by using it to eat his food.



4) Mark Mcgrath from "Extra"- Or is it Access Hollywood? Congrats, you found a job more embarrassing than being in Sugar Ray. (I'm not proud.) And you seem really excited about shitty movies. Good for you. I wonder if you dream about saying, "Back to you, Dana."?

This appears to be some kind of post-hole digger. I'd bean him right over the head with it.



3) The Dos Equis beer-spawned, "Most Interesting Man in the World- "Hey, maybe no one will notice if we rip-off all those 'Chuck Norris facts' that were so popular on the internet a few years ago. We can even have a guy with a husky voice list all the manly atributes! It'll be really funny!" Poor Chuck... His throne, so delayed in arrival, was usurped in an instant.

Not sure what you'd call this. But I'd hit him with it and then use it to bury him. Right next to all the other shitty ad campaigns. Yeah, that's right, "Bud Light" VO guy.



2) Flava Flav You were in one of the greatest groups of all time. Now you're... I'm not even sure what you're doing. Sad. You need to take a close look at one of those dangling clocks...

This looks like a ceremonial ground-breaking shovel. Maybe its mighty blows would shake something loose, "breaking ground" on a whole new Flav... Either way, I'd have fun.



1) Hugh Hefner-I don't understand the holiest of holy reverence paid to this obsolete and embarrassingly out of touch dinosaur. The idea that HH is somehow considered a god or creature to be admired and celebrated. "Look, he's doing it for us!" What, exactly? "Umm, sex, or something. Isn't it great? He's fucking stuff."

And the comedy... Oh, the comedy. Every unfunny joke, aside, pun or poorly crafted piece of innuendo. Of course sex is phenomenal. Seriously, it is. Having sex is the greatest. You know what's somewhat less than the greatest? Endless variations on a joke where the punch line is always "sex." Whether it's HH himself groping a pair of uncomfortable looking sorority girls or some giddy talk show host intro'ing him as if he's done something fantastic for men everywhere and we should all bow down.

Not a single desire I possess is quenched by the sight of a hideous old man winking creepily at me while making suggestive comments. The subtext of every statement is "I'm going to have sex! Get it? Wink, wink, I'm having sex with this woman! Here is some not so clever joke about how I love sex. Here is a viagra reference! You know... For all the sex!"

A rusty, tired-looking shovel that's seen better days. You'll notice, unlike Hef, its rugged oak shaft has no problem staying hard. Or knocking down old men.

Surprisingly, Jay Leno is a pretty cool guy and his wife Mavis should be considered a goddess to anyone out there that calls themself a feminist. Do the research. Wiki "Mavis Leno" ya dumbass.

Other than that, this is a great list! I'd bang a snow shovel against everyone else here...

First, Conan O'Brien is leaving Late Night?!

Ooooh, I seem to remember hearing something about that.



We need to hit Jay Leno with a shovel, so that Conan can get his time slot sooner.



I don't know about that. I think I'd rather have Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien than Conan and Jimmy Fallon. "Lesser of two evils" and all that.

Why did I bother reading this?



Maybe for the same reason you actually took the time to type this?

I would change the list this way:

Only Jimmy Fallon. End the list there and hit him with nine shovels.

It is such a glaring example of how blind and idiotic network executives are that they would give him a talk show. And the most intelligent one on TV to boot. I eagerly await his failure - which will go on for a excruciating amount of time, as it always does in late night.

That's a good point. Can we at least switch Conan and Jay's time slots?

Being from Australia I mercifully don't know who the first seven people listed are, but that line and the rest of the article still cracked me up.

And best of all it made me realise that I'm not a psychopath just because tv makes me so angry that I want to really badly hurt the people on the other side of the screen. Now, content in my knowledge that I am not a psychopath, may I suggest that in some situations a shovel isn't the best tool for digging - this might be more effective for the holes you'd like to dig:

What about Tom Green or Andy Dick. Actually I heard Andy Dick got his face smashed into a bar top from Jon Lovitz. Thank you Jon, thank you. Hopefully more people will smash Andy Dick's face in.

Good list though. I love shovels to the face.

Dead on with Hefner! Anyone who thinks that guy's dick has been used in the last ten years with either of those three "girlfriends" is insane.

You're a lucky man.

And +1 for wanting to hit Flava Flav.

most people will tell you, the reason Jackass 2 was such a good movie, is they make Bam cry twice


I'm going to add to this list, Olivia Munn from Attack of the Show
(hell, take everyone on that channel out except Blair Butler and WIll that does the gadgets with a Wrecking Ball. . . .just show Ninja Warrior all day)

Now...I want you to know that I DO agree with you here. I think Hugh Hefner is a creepy, sad old man. I'm sure he actually WAS cool in the 50's & 60's on the swing-scene.

Hugh Hefner NOW, however...creepy. If you look down on the 30 year old guy who still goes to college parties......what must we think of the 80 year old guy who still goes to college parties?!

The glazed look in the eyes of his "girlfriends" is people's exhibit A. It's nto that I care that the only reason they're "sleeping" with him is to advance their careers....or get a bigger slice of the pie. It's that he's trying to sell it as a guy who "still has it".

So, Hef....you mean pretty young women will sleep with you if you're rich & famous...no matter WHAT you or your wrinkled old cock look like?

Now...the reason I actually posted in here was to tell you that the shovel you used to hit Hef clearly has a fiberglass handle....not oak.

This picture alone affected me more than any of the humor I found in this article.

Damage imagined + the expression on this guy's face = Fuckin' creepy.

Also, Jimmy Fallon can't talk to save his life, but he's totally hot and if tuning in every night to watch him helplessly stutter and dissolve into giggle fits for an hour is wrong, I don't want to be right. blush



Oh, come on! I can do that, and I'm quite hot, too... Or so I've been told (by people on this site, no less).
