You see them every week selling paper (and now printers!), but the cast of The Office does much more than that. I’ve assembled this collection of videos to show what they do outside of Dunder Mifflin, and I think I managed to grab a video of every single recurring member currently on the show.

Some are videos of them before they hit it big, some after. Some are on different shows, some are in movies, some are doing stand-up. I think you’ll be surprised to learn how many of the actors actually have the same names as their characters in real life. Especially Creed, who I now know is literally playing himself on the show.

Check out the video collection below:

This is mainly for people in my generation, who had crushes on girls before we really even understood what crushes were. Most of these shows are in the early to mid nineties, and even though the girls may not have been particularly hot at the time, we still loved them.

Well now it’s fifteen or twenty years later, so I decided to go back and see how everyone progressed over the years. The results? Pretty spectacular actually, and half these girls you won’t even recognize. Do you even know who that lead picture is? No one looked very good in the nineties, though I suppose someday people will be saying that about us today.

Check out the gallery below, and let me know if I missed your favorite crush.

I thought we were like, saving the earth and stuff, but thank god we’re actually building giant robots to protect humanity from other evil giant robots. That really makes me want to separate out my cans and bottles.

This Optimus Prime is made out of boat, car, motorcycle, dishwasher and television parts, and has the uncanny ability to attract Asian girls as you can see in this picture and the one below. Hit the jump for two more shots.

Oh also, you can buy him. Only $7,500.

Alright Lost, you are intriguing me yet again. This week’s Sawyer-centric episode had us hanging with the Not-Locke crew and featured an alterverse episode I didn’t actually hate for once. Not bad Lost, not bad.

Not-Locke has everyone setting up camp uh, somewhere, I’m not sure exactly but it’s all full of trash and random household items. I thought it was 815’s old camp, but isn’t Team Jacob over there right now? Whatever.

This week, Not-Locke has a very special assignment for Sawyer, who has finally shown up after a two week hiatus, along with Jin who has apparently been unconscious for a solid week due to bear trap-related injuries.

Some of you might remember in a galaxy far far away that select episodes from all Star Trek series were released in box sets organized around certain themes or characters, such as Q, the Borg, Time Travel, and Klingons.  I hope that most of you enjoyed these wonderful collections of weirdness.

But alas, perhaps these boxsets were on to something.  Perhaps there’s room for many more themes and characters to dedicate these boxsets to.  And from the looks of it, many fans have spoken.

The folks at Something Awful asked it’s base of photoshop freaks to come up with some alternative ideas for these boxsets and I’ve gathered the best 15 I could find.

Enjoy

Alright look, don’t yell at me, I’m not being sexist. A few weeks ago, I wrote this post, about the strangest looking actors in Hollywood, and now I’m doing a follow-up with actresses . I’m fair and balanced just like Fox News.

In any case, these are a collection of actress I just find “strange” looking.  Now, that’s not to say that many of them aren’t hot, as most actresses are to some degree, but there’s just something about them that’s almost…unreal, if you’ll pardon the reference. I think you’ll see what I mean as you look through the gallery.

As always, this list probably isn’t definitive, so feel free to shout out any you think I’ve missed.

Yeah yeah, spoilsports, before you tell me I didn’t do my research, I understand that this is a giant Gundam statue in Japan and NOT an actual robotic alien invasion, but isn’t it a lot more fun to think of it that way?

This also happens to be exhibit #9203 as to why Japan is way more awesome than here. The only things we have to rival this is the incredibly boring Statue of Liberty and a few inflatable Michelin Men, both of whom would lose to this thing in a fight for country mascot supremacy.

Use some of that stimulus money and start getting people to build giant robot statues Obama! It’s a job creator and will make America 10,000x more badass.

Not that I ever envisioned seeing life sized Muppets but now that I have I can pretty much guarantee you that in person they would scare me a hell of a lot more than clowns would.  And that’s saying a lot.

Put it this way, anything Jim Henson designed that’s the size of a human is major cause for concern.  It’s one thing when they’re no larger than your shin.  It’s another when the head is the size of your entire torso.

These things freak me out.  Plain and simple.

And just for good measure I’ve added a small gallery of other life sized Muppets after the jump

So it’s not very often we feature ads on the site unless we’re being paid to do it, but that’s not the case this time. This Samsung spot is just plain awesome, and deserves a place here on its creative merits alone.

This is more an MySpace era issue (and era that is way, way over) but many high school kids still try to pull this crap today on Facebook. You know what I’m talking about, the super angled, super cropped pictures that can turn a guy or girl (but let’s be honest, mostly girls) from a sea creature to a model.

The ad uses literal monsters to show exactly how this technique can be used to your advantage, and eve I was surprised by how well the end results turned out. Take a look.

The rollercoaster ride screaming to the end of Lost continues again this week, with things settling down a wee bit after Smokey raided the Other temple and massacred pretty much everyone there. Surprisingly, we got a Linus-centric episode this week, as I was expecting a Jin adventure due to his sudden appearance in a freezer last week. But alas, he’s still missing, and that makes two weeks in a row now. I guess bear trap wounds take a while to heal.

Linus is with the “Jacob” group as I guess we should call them, which is now made up of Illana, Sun, Lapedus and Miles. On the hike back from the temple, Ilana gives Miles Jacob’s ashes to confirm how he died and whoops! It’s Linus, a fact that quickly turns Ilana’s mood toward him from distrusteful to murderous.
The gang marches back to the 815’s original beach camp, because why the hell not, and Ilana immediately shackles Ben to a tree and tells him to start digging a grave next to Nikki and Paolo, a gun pointed at his head as he does so.

Meanwhile, this week’s obligatory alterverse episode centers around Ben Linus: History Teacher, and it’s exactly as riveting as it sounds. Cameos abound as Locke, Artz and even Alex show up, because of course her French explorer mother would relocate to LA and send her to the exact school where Ben Linus teaches.
