10 Minutes of J. Jonah Jameson’s Unrelenting Awesomeness
Maybe it’s the last vestiges of the respectable journalist in me, but this 10-minute collection of clips from the original Spider-Man cartoon — specifically of Daily Bugle editor-in-chief J. Jonah Jameson — delights me to the very core of my being. It’s a non-stop assault of belligerence, idiocy, misogyny, irrational insanity, and screamed at the top of JJJ’s lungs — and only a very clips were edited for comedic effect. After all, J. Jonah’s work stands on its own. As does Spider-Man’s work, even when he’s dressed as the Green Goblin (apparently). (Via Comics Alliance)

He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.

Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
