Snoop Dogg Defeats the Watchmen (Barely)
Good lord. I’m sorry to show this to you guys first thing in the morning, but at least you have the consolation that if you survive six minutes of Snoop Dogg bantering with Regis Philbin on celebrity/charity Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, you can’t possibly encounter anything more awkward the rest of the day. Obviously, as horrific a pairing as Snoop and Regis is, the reason I’m showing it is because Snoop immediately gets asked a Watchmen question, to which he doesn’t know the answer (he fell asleep during the movie, which should please some of you). Watching him struggle with such a simple answer is like pure torture for nerds. Again, if you survive the video, it’s all up hill from here. (Via /Film)
