Community is the best sitcom on television at the moment. At the very least, it's the best English-language sitcom. The story centres around a group of people who go to a second-chance college. Their lives have not really worked out, so they've gone back to college to either get a new degree, meet some new people, or get away from their previous lives. The show stars Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs,

Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight series have been a tremendous success around the World, and possibly the area between the World and Mercury. While Venusians are keen on the timeless tale of vampires and werewolves and the human caught between them, the people of Mercury find the writing to be a little lacklustre. The Martians are outright angry about the existence of the books, furious that there are

I was reading a newspaper article – I know, right? – about the decline of bizarre sports programmes. When I was a child I was roughly the same age as the reporter when he was a child, and his disappointment about the disappearance of Trans World Sport and Gazzetta Football Italia struck a nerve with me. Hello if you’re reading by the way, Johnathan Liew. Isn’t it weird how some people are called

Swimming is a great source of exercise. By jumping into a single contained body of water and not drowning for upwards of twenty minutes at a time, one can be refreshed, invigorate, and reminded what it feels like to have half a litre of chlorinated water swilling round between your eardrums, behind your optic nerve, and in your nose. But picture this scene, imaginauts – you are a girl.Picture

Noticed all those dead birds recently? If you’re the kind of person who enjoys leaving the house, you’ll have noticed by now that there are dead birds lying everywhere, just scattered dead on the floor like tiny bird-shaped corpse presents. What’s with all the dead birds, you guys? It’s a sign that the Giants are returning, is the answer. Why are they a sign that the Giants are returning? Let us

We're writing this post just after the release of Lady Gags' video release for her comeback single 'Born This Way', a Madonna-esque gay-power anthem which owes itself entirely to disco. The video can be seen below. Please watch it so you can draw your conclusions as to how effective it is as a piece of "art", which is almost certainly how Gags herself wants it to be seen. Well, it's B-Movie Art,

Apparently if you put the words “an xxx porn parody” after something, you aren’t infringing any copyrights whatsoever. That is, according to the porn industry, which has recently made films as diverse as “Seinfeld: An XXX Parody” to “The Office: An XXX Parody” (sadly, no Ricky Gervais cameo) in an attempt to fight back against the evil anonymous force of the internet, which has stolen all their

Although an exceptional font of camp, filled with mad characters, poor sets, odd acting and illogical plot twists, Doctor Who prevailed. Until it was cancelled by a BBC who could no longer handle Sylvester McCoy's insatiable appetite for blood. When the series returned this decade after years of limbo, it was streamlined. The show was sharper, stronger, with less time for idiocy. The villains had

He Killed Lindsay…!Who Was He?Lindsay Surname was a bizarrely long-running character on the show Angel, appearing in the first episode and sporadically returning every few months or so. Whilst a major character for seasons one and two, he vanished for large chunks of time afterwards and only reappeared a few times. Come the final season, however, Lindsay once again became a recurring character,

The list of American heroes is long and filled with people whose names resonate across the very fabric of time and space. From Spider-Man to Green Lantern, from Jack Bauer to House, they are all.... well, you get the idea. None of America's biggest heroes are actually played by Americans.

Sometimes I write articles which everyone can enjoy. Sometimes I write them for an audience of about seven people. Luckily, seven people makes up the majority of the readership of Wilftonville, so it doesn’t matter too much when I write about a radio station exclusive only to certain parts of England. Capital FM is one of the most popular commercial radio stations in England, based in London. The

Ladies and gentlewomen, I come from the internet but also from a place called Wakefield, which is in Yorkshire, which is in England, which is in the British Isles, which is in America. It is a rough mining town, where children are forced to go up chimneys from an early age.

Mermaids are poorly conceived. The top half of these mythological creatures is human, but they choose to live underwater. While this makes sense when you take into account their fishy lower quarters, mermaids do not have gills. They have a human top half, presumably including a working pair of lungs and the capacity to take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide. At no point is there the capacity to

X-MEN #170Golgotha Part 5: Fall-Out”Featuring: Havok, Rogue, Polaris, Emma Frost, Gambit, Wolverine and Iceman.This issue is going to be a pain to recap(itulate? ture? I don’t know what recap is short for), because it’s almost definitely the single worst issue Milligan wrote for the X-Men.

American comedy is single-handedly defined by the strength of the lead actor.It doesn’t matter much about the plot or the jokes, because everything has become a cult of personality. If you go to see a Steve Carell movie, for example, you can expect to enjoy lots of straight-faced nonsense. There is no actor better at holding a stony exterior than Carell, and his line-readings barely ever relate

DollhouseHow much range does Eliza Dushku have as an actress? Everyone who supports Joss Whedon’s new show ‘Dollhouse’ is a little worried about this right now. At the time of writing she has played four roles so far, and two of them appeared to be “Faith: The Vampire Slayer” but with different clothes on. When she dressed as a hostage negotiator it was not as incredibly credible as we hoped it

Best International Male Artist:Last week we discussed (well, I stated bluntly) that all American urban music is rubbish. This is something I still stand by, for the most part.

The Beano was and is a very popular comic for children, and most people in Britain as they’ve grown up have picked up a copy at one point in time. In our crazy, backwards and heroic country, it’s even more popular than internet porn or Rachel Stevens. The characters in the comic were madcap and filled with life, ranging from Dennis The Menace’s black hair and stripy shirts prophesising mayhem to

Most Underrated Act:In Britain, 2008 was yet another year for women to come along and laugh in the faces of men. Female singers are now by far the best ones around in our country, with everything from Kate Nash and Lily Allen right through to M.I.A. or Duffy. In fact, the retro musicians did themselves rather well all year, Duffy being one of the more obvious talents to break through recently.

Most Overrated Act:Glastonbury was the worst event of the year, being able to pull in only one decent headline act – Jay-Z, who was forced to try and make up for the B-List guitar rock of The Verve and Kings of Leon which depressed everyone with their mediocrity on the day before and after he performed. He managed to accomplish this, only just, but the staggering amount of overhyped crap which

60: Seinfeld: George Constanza (Jason Alexander)Although not a Jew, no one character has done more to nail down the persona of Jewishness since Woody Allen’s golden years. George was a neurotic guy, selfish and insecure to the point of dementedness, and the word stingy could well have been invented for him. Despite this, he was one of the most loved characters on one of the most loved TV shows

Worst Group:Many a group could claim this award as their own: the Ting Tings were disliked by most everyone over the age of thirty; Scouting For Girls had one melody to their name and milked it repeatedly for every single on their album; and The Script were one of the latest in a long line of wuss-rock bands who moaned and ached their way into the hearts of almost eight different teenage girls.

Oh, it just had to be aliens.Once filming wrapped on 1989’s Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade, all eyes fell upon the duo of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg to see what they had planned next. There were five films planned in the series, and with such a wealth of other items around that could be ‘found’ by Indiana – Excalibur, Atlantis, El Dorado – it seemed that the pair would have no end of

Best Group:The indie hipster lobby has placed significant pressure on Wilftonville to name TV On The Radio as the best group of 2008. However, Wilftonville cannot help but notice that their album is somewhat limp, despite several crafty and fascinating songs within the tracklisting. Similarly, Vampire Weekend seem unappealing and Elbow still aren’t playing their strengths enough. On the lighter

Jem"Finally Woken"***/5I know that you’re all quite keen on your Duffy records, but in no way does the Demi-Dusty match up to the pop craftsmanship of fellow Welshwoman Jemma Griffiths, who goes by the name of Jem. On her first album Finally Woken she not only co-writes all the songs but produces the record too. Jem’s music is primarily laid back white girl funk, with a fizzy pop sensibility. And

Generally Wilftonville stays out of American politics because we don’t approve of living in an America-centric universe. There are other countries, and the majority of them are way better than America is. Or at least, more consistent in their beliefs.

Worst Overall Year:Nobody could stop talking about Britney Spears. No matter what massive acts of violence occurred elsewhere in the world, the papers was far more interest in the current state of the former Mrs Federline than they were in anything else. 2008 was the year in which the industry decided to stop taking the piss out of Britney and start supporting her again, and she won a load of

Part 2: Personal Health.A true Damsel would want to try and keep in shape, so that when grabbed by a knight on horseback and carried off into the sunset she does not weigh him down to one side and cause the poor horse to collapse. Opposition to animal cruelty is almost always seen as a plus in the eyes of a potential suitor, unless you live in the countryside. Also, nobody likes fat people.

Best Overall Year:2008 wasn’t a year for gifted young prodigies. Rather, the bulk of the year was tailored more towards the old-guard; musicians who had dropped out of the industry a long whole ago and chose to make their fabulous return in 2008. And, as Robbie Williams decided to take a year-long sabbatical from music to rest in the USA and get some quality drinking-time in (presumably), Gary

With the World yet again poised on the bring of destruction, economy broken and all semblance of humanity crumbling right before our eyes as we suddenly see all the other countries of the world evolve into something threatening and alien, it appears that Wilftonville has a problem to solve.

2008 wasn’t a particularly blinding year for music. The top 40 became more bogged down with remixed dance songs than ever before, and creativity seemed to take a backseat to controversy as Amy Winehouse and Katy Perry stomped their way across the headlines for various reasons unconnected to music. On top of all this, returning heavyweight bands such as Coldplay, Snow Patrol, and Oasis released

The foetal position was one which Scrooge had never felt a need to crawl up into before, yet on this feral evening he found himself completely hunched up around his bed-sheets, sore and fearful. Last year he had been visited by four Spirits from the other side which had given him an eye-opening experience which changed the way he viewed the world forever. He had been a miser, a cruel grasping

The house was filled now with light and warmth, as Scrooge hurried round the various little rooms and switched on every gas lamp and fire he could find in an attempt to feel more secure in his own home. The visits of the previous three ghosts had all shook him to his very core, and he found that he couldn’t sit down properly anymore; a very horrible discovery indeed for this poor fellow.As light

A thin bead of sweat fell down Scrooge’s brow as he sat on the windowsill of his house, looking calmly over the frozen rooftops of London town. At this dark eve all the windows were shut tight against the westerly wind, and the lights extinguished so the little ones would be able to get to sleep, excited in the belief that presents would await them tomorrow. As they would, of course. A thin veil

The clock struck eight, and Scrooge rubbed his hands together to try and gather warmth. With the fire burnt out, and the windows shattered from the mind-blowing sodomy, the cold of the night-time air whizzed through from one side of the room to the other, and chilled Scrooge to the very bone. His only option was to retreat to the warmth and safety of his old four-poster bed, the one he’d been in

A Christmas CarolScrooge rubbed his hands together with a chilly disdain, and moved over to the fireplace. Working the embers with a fan, he began to pump up the flames, and tenderly restarted the fire which had burnt out so long ago.

At Wilftonville we recognise the inferiority of women. Not many sites will admit to being so forward-thinking as we are, but this is because most sites have a history of fascism."Fascism: nobody on the internet seems to know what it means."Whenever men and women get into a fight about which gender has it worst, the conversation inevitably turns to the idea of childbirth.

He Killed Off Anya!Who Was She?Anya was the hottest of all the girls on Buffy. Seriously! Now, let’s not get bogged down in a long diatribe about which of the girls on the show was the most attractive, but it’s commonly known that Buffy was not the one everyone fancied most. No, because Buffy was pretty up herself, and she couldn’t pronounce the phrase “ok” without doing this weird tic thing with

70: Wonderfalls: Jaye Tyler (Caroline Dhavernas)Wonderfalls was cancelled very early in America, which was a big shame because in Jaye Tyler, it had a genuinely brilliant and unpredictable central character – and one who was plagued by talking toy animals. Jaye was a grumpy angry young woman who worked at a retail outlet by Niagrara falls (sample grumpiness:Young Girl: “You’re not supposed to

Once upon a time, in the middle of a small island which was in the middle of a very big sea, lived the Terriers. These terriers were nothing like the animal you know today, though – they were much larger, and had dry, shaggy hair that covered their bodies. Now, if the terriers on this island had one passion in life; it was in hunting. It was necessary for survival, of course, but the terriers

What an awful show ‘Heroes’ has become. It started two years ago, at a time when Lost had, ahem, lost the way and was floundering about with barely any scenes featuring Locke, Sayid or Desmond at all. As Lost was going nowhere quickly, people jumped on Heroes because it was fun, moved quickly, and answered the questions that were asked of it with an impressive regularity. No four-toed statues

Who Is She?Once upon a time, there was a villain called The White Queen, who used her considerable telepathic powers to cause mayhem within the ranks of the X-Men. Her real name? Emma Frost. The White Queen served as a villain for a long time with the X-Men, alongside her allies in ‘The Hellfire Club’. After this, she opened up a

A prolific musician, Beck Hansen has released more than a few CDs in his time (which is fancy talk for “I haven’t checked Wikipedia to see how many he’s made”), all of which vary uncontrollably from good to bad, and go through a range of different styles. Ever helpful, we here at Wilftonville decided to put together a hitlist, so you can decide for yourself which albums might appeal to you,

There are those of you who believe that the music charts mean nothing anymore. That because everyone steals their music online anyway; nobody buys records or singles anymore, so the chart is based on radio airplay more than anything else. And those people would be right. Nobody cares about which song is number #1 anymore, because it’ll inevitably be whichever musician has been given the biggest

The castlist for the 2008 ‘I’m A Celebrity: Get Me Out Of Here’ social experiment has been announced today, and the main surprise was that there were many actual stars in the line-up. For those of you who do not live in Britain and thus do not understand, this scientific project has happened once a year in Britain for the past seven or so years.

It’s quite upsetting to read the papers every morning, because without fail one of the headlines is going to tell us all about how a musician, previously admired, has gone off the rails. There’s a massive problem in Britain, and not many other countries have it quite as bad as we do, where the media can’t stand to see someone succeeding in life. Not just the media, but the general public too. As

A lot of Americans recently believed that Barack Obama was a Muslim, and that because of this he shouldn’t be allowed to become the awesome new President of the USA (or as we call it in Europe, ‘Disneyland’). This Islamophobia is not something that the Americans alone are guilty of, though – Britain seems to be obsessed with it. At least, the papers are. Every day the worthless newspapers spread

The Scarlet Witch, named for her scarlet outfit and the fact that… well, she’s a witch, is also called Wanda, which I’m told is a real name that people honestly have in real life. I remain sceptical. It’s a little bit of a stretch to put her in this list, in honesty, let alone this high up on the list, because she hasn’t logged that

There’s an argument within the media that if something exists, then it must be offensive to someone. It’s an argument which suggests that when Alec Baldwin shouts at his daughter down a phone, it means he’s actually a closet sexist who hates all women and wishes to eradicate the female race using only a seasoned pimp hand. Obviously that’s not true (the only woman Baldwin hates is Kim Basinger,

General Appearance (cont.)Clothing:Clothes are, as far as anyone knows, one of the four deadly kryptonites for women (we’ll get to the other three later on).

So Wilftonville leaked the pitch for Nintendo's new game "Super Mario Underwater" on Monday. I'm writing this before the post which announces this leak, but I'm certain that the response was overwhelming and that hundreds - nay, thousands - of people commented with their thoughts on the strength of the pitch, and that argument and debate developed from it. We promised that we'd send someone to

We got our hands on the pitch submitted to Nintendo for the next Super Mario game! Having heard that this was definitely definitely the pitch that Nintendo were going to go ahead and develop into a game, we then sent someone into the future to find out for us how the game performed when released.
