1) Let’s start off Black Friday right with Michele Bachmann plugging her book Core of Conviction FoD style.
2) We have no idea how this slipped through the Comedy Bureau interdepartmental walls, but faux-retro-action-comedy web series Danger 5 did. It’s crazier than Inglorious Basterds in much more manageable lengths. Watch the trailer. [via JackieKashian]
3) There are no doorbusters here, but Team Coco just opened their new online store, which you can buy Conan merch without any risk of bodily harm from other shoppers.
4) The Midnight Show gives you tips on how to plant your own vegetables. That’s all there is to it…
5) You do know you can write for Cracked, right?
6) Though we missed posting this on or before Thanksgiving, Alison Agosti gives some great tips on how to get into the holiday spirit, especially you hate things like getting into the holiday spirit.
7) The Pardcast-a-thon starts at 6PM PST tonight and going for 12 hours. Laugh and donate. That’s all you need to do with that one
