Just over two weeks ago we here at YakkityYaks started the Best Movie Of All Time Showdown. We started with 100 movies, paired them up and voted between each pair which one was better………and now we’re FINALLY down to our FINAL TWO MOVIES!!!! So now it’s time to decide which of these two, according to YakkityYaks, are the best movies of all time. I have to tell you too, I haven’t voted yet because they’re both great! So what are the two movies??? Well, it’s come down to One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest Vs. The Godfather, Part II!!! Continue reading “Best Movie Of All Time According To YakkityYaks!!!”

Saint Dagame’s Sermon

Greetings one and all please allow me to introduce myself.  I am Saint Dagame, patron saint of reality shows as well as high priest of the Church of Gina Gershon and today starts a new era for the Yak.  This is the first of many sermons that I will be giving to you, my adoring congregation, so remember this day because it will be one you will rejoice for decades to come.

I have decided to make this first sermon about tainting victories.  Did Apollo Creed ruin Rcoky’s title win?  Did the Patriots come up with conspiracy theories when they lost the Superbowl to the Giants?  Did Arnold Jackson make up excuses why he lost his fight with The Gooch?  The answer to all of the above is a resounding no, yet so many of you out there want to taint Kris Allen’s victory over Adam Lambert on American Idol by coming up with crazy conspiracy theories and downright nonsense so I’m here to set you straight.

Annoying commercial of the week…

OK all….I have decided to share my newly found irritation with the rest of you.  I understand that commercials are here to serve a purpose, to raise revenue, create jobs, etc.  Now, here is my issue.. I hate being held captive by these creations when they are stupid, asinine, or play on peoples fears. My first installment of most annoying commercial is the latter. It attempts to strike a fear in us so deep that we will be paralyzed by it until we call their number, purchase their product, and line their pockets. Then, and ONLY then, will we have peace in our homes forever…puuuuhleeeeease.

This weeks’  gem is brought to you by Brinks Home Security….who’s only interest is in our complete safety.

IStillRock out…..

Celebrities We’ve Lost

Here we are in May and we’ve already lost too many celebrities. While we are aware that we get older every year, it seems that we tend to forget that the celebrities we grew up watching age, as well. It’s likely that we remember them at the age that we last saw them, so at first thought, we’re shocked that they’ve passed. It’s very sad that their lives came to an end, but for most of them, they lived a long, successful life and passed on knowing that through the years they’ve entertained millions of people.
These are the people that we’ve lost in 2009: Continue reading “Celebrities We’ve Lost”

The cause of death has not yet been released. Gans’ wildly successful Vegas run began in 1996, when he landed a three-month gig at the Stratosphere Hotel. In the intervening years, the Broadway vet had shows at the Mirage Hotel and the Encore Theater at Steve Wynn’s Wynn Las Vegas Hotel. He is said to have sold more tickets on the Strip than the Rat Pack or Elvis Presley, and was voted Las Vegas “Entertainer of the Year” for 11 consecutive years. He is survived by his wife and three children.” He will be missed.
