Igor in the movie Young Frankenstein approaching Castle Frankenstein's enormous front door, which has huge iron doorknockers. This is the setup for a funny joke about boobs.
Elric of Melnibone illustrated by Michael Whelan. I don’t know how to describe this pose! It’s like he’s posing for a portrait, cradling his soul-devouring sword Stormbringer while half-kneeling, half-lounging on the base of a pillar in some sunken ruins. Unlike some of the more muscle-y depictions by Whelan, here he’s slim and almost delicate. If you aren’t familiar with the character he’s an albino with snow-white skin and long hair dressed in ragged black armor.

"You yellow dogs, you thought l'd never make it home from the land of Troy. You took my house to plunder, twisted my maids to serve your beds. You dared bid for my wife while I was still alive. “Contempt was all you had for the gods who rule wide heaven, contempt for what men say of you hereafter. Your last hour has come. You die in blood."
Back before the home video revolution you couldn’t just watch whatever TV episode or movie you wanted. You had to wait until it aired on broadcast TV or showed in a movie theater. Fotonovels aimed to fill the gap with mass market paperback graphic novels using still images from a movie or TV show instead of artwork. Here’s one for the Star Trek Episode “City on the Edge of Forever”.

President Richard M. Nixon saying "Sock it to me" on Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In. It's the kind of thing that can't be explained, you had to be there. But at the time this humor absolutely killed.

A screencap from Rad Omen’s music video for “Rad Anthem”. Four young men in costume as Jack in the Box, Ronald McDonald, Burger King, and Colonel Sanders are out on an all-night bender fueled by massive amounts of drugs and alcohol. At this point they’re staggering down the sidewalk, sweaty, disheveled, and alternately laughing and crying.
Bathroom graffiti that reads, “Suicidal people are just angels that want to go home.” Below it in different handwriting, “bitch what the fuck”
Teen Talk by Susan Blobs and blurbs Rock 'n' roll, as we indiscriminately call all popular music these days, is in such a fertile state of growth and expansion that all sorts of strange things are happening to it. One is that people from the worlds of art and poetry have chosen it as a medium of expression. An example is a new release by the Velvet Underground and Nico, part of the pop art world of Andy Warhol. The group is already known to those have seen Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitable discotheque in New York and on its visit to the West Coast. There's even an underground Velvet Underground fan club led by a 16 - year - old girl. The record features the death-ish, dismal distinctive voice of beautiful former fashion model Nico singing "I'll Be Your Mirror" and "All Tomorrow's Parties." Warhol produced it.
It’s 1922, the beginning of the wave of joy, rule-flouting and excess they’re starting to call the Jazz Age. With World War One and a deadly epidemic now safely in the past, America collects on that overdue promise of life, liberty, and headlong pursuit of happiness. Prohibition came into effect a couple of years back, but to those in the know, the champagne still flows. In Westport, Connecticut the beguiling rhythms of the Jazz Age emanate from Beacon Hill, a magnificent estate recently purchased by enigmatic millionaire Huck Stanton. Next door, Steve and Delia Stark, a good-time couple with bad news on their heels, look to Beacon Hill and hear a siren call. Huck Stanton is about to change their lives forever.
SNL’s “Global Warming Christmas” sketch, a holiday variety show where Carl Sagan (Mike Myers) talks about the catastrophic effects of climate change while his co-host Dean Martin (Tom Hanks) tries to keep things festive. Weirdly it doesn’t seem to be on YouTube!

My Recent Searches list consists of: swan penis destiny I know "swan" is for the comic Swan Boy and "destiny" is for the video game. I think "penis" was when I read a post where someone demanded that a victim of sexual assault describe her accused attacker's penis and wondered whether this was widespread or just one misogynist freak.
Swan Boy thinking, "My unique brand of bullshit is maybe not what the doctor ordered for this specific context."
Smithers: That's Homer Simpson, sir. Burns: Simpson, eh? New man? Smithers: Actually, sir, he thwarted your campaign for governor. You ran over his son.

A little guy composed of stat blocks for head, arms, chest, abdomen, and legs, with space to write your armour points, encumbrance, and hit points. In RuneQuest after you hit someone you roll a d20 to determine which part of the body you hit, so each box has a number or numeric range for quick reference.

A screencap of Dana Carvey on Saturday Night Live. playing news anchor Tom Brokaw. He’s recording pre-tapes announcing the death of former President Gerald Ford in case he passes away while Brokaw is on vacation. As the takes go on the causes of death become more ridiculous.

A rural Texas cemetery beneath a ghastly orange sky. Someone’s dug up an old, rotting corpse—wearing the suit it was buried in—and posed it sitting on top of a tombstone holding the severed head of another corpse. Its legs inside the trousers are at a profoundly disturbing angle. Over the scene you hear a radio news broadcast saying that some unknown person or persons dug up and dismembered multiple bodies buried here, turning them into something like art.
Uh, what am I watching Toni Collette do in this scene from Hereditary? It’s dark, and the perspective is confusing. And what’s that sound? Oh. Oh Christ. No. No no no. Does she…does she know she’s doing that? Is she in a trance, or just gone, or is her consciousness trapped inside her body as a passenger, experiencing everything that’s happening but unable to stop it?
[Chorus: Andy Samberg & Chris Parnell] It's the Chronic—what?—cles of Narnia Yes, the Chronic—what?—cles of Narnia We love that Chronic—what?—cles of Narnia Pass that Chronic—what?—cles of Narnia

Screenshot from the article: Heath Carter, a professor of American Christianity at Princeton Theological Seminary, said the broader debate over Matthew 25 may reflect “deeper, longer-standing divides” among U.S. Christians that date back at least a century. On one side of the theological chasm, he said, are those who believe Christianity is “oriented around the salvation of individual souls” and that “the way that you change society is by changing every soul within it.” Their de facto opponents, however, hold that “inequality and social problems spring from structural or systemic roots” and argue that “part of what it means to be a faithful Christian in the modern world is to fight against inequality and its structural forms.”

George is dressed all in blue denim; Paul is in a suit but is barefoot; Ringo is dressed in a black suit and dress shoes; John is dressed in a white suit with white shoes.

The movie poster for Undertone. It’s black with a red illustration of an audio track spiking and a young woman wearing headphones looking VERY concerned about it. I think it’s about a haunted podcast? I don’t know yet.
The aforementioned hamper.
There was also a horde of Nazi memorabilia, including a bust of Hitler, mannequins in Nazi uniforms, swastika pendants, SS rune-shaped lamps, and a statue of a naked warrior holding a sword in his extended hand that once stood outside Hitler's Chancellery in Berlin, by the dictator’s favorite sculptor, Arno Breker, reported War History Online.
