In a non-spoilery scene from Sunday's "Breaking Bad" obtained exclusively by HitFix, Walter has a meaningful interaction with Bogdan, the owner of the car wash the Whites are buying in order to launder their meth money.

The scene stars Marius Stan as current car-wash boss and wise-yet-tough elder Bogdan, who, as Alan Sepinwall points out, was not an actor, and only supposed to be an extra in the beginning of the show until his role was expanded. Pretty good acting for a regular guy! Also, this scene makes my esteemed colleague Tara Ariano's "Breaking Bad" car-wash sitcom spinoff idea "Whitewashed" even more plausible by adding a recurring cashier-wiping-cars conflict!:

"Have you ever seen a beautiful and well-dressed woman dancing and getting down on the dance floor?" asks what we can only assume is the proprietor of "Divine Rags," a women's clothing store in the Wolfchase Galleria Mall in Memphis, TN. And this local commercial only gets weirder from there. (The last few seconds being especially weird!) Note that this isn't the work of intentionally-funny-local-commercial makers Rhett and Link: they would have had higher production values. This looks like the real (crazy) deal, enough that it might result in internet meme tourism for Divine Rags. It could be the new Graceland!

Last night, during a pun-filled monologue about the actor Gerard Depardieu allegedly relieving himself on an airplane, Anderson Cooper broke down into a serious case of the giggles, finally just giving over to laughter and covering his face. Anderson's breakdown was enough to make the 8 a.m. hour of "The Today Show" this morning, where the team seemed to revel in their fellow broadcaster's lack of control:

And in case you were wondering if the internet has already made an animated .gif of Cooper's giggle fit: they have.

It's actually rarer than one might think that channel-mates and buddies Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are forced by events to joke about the same topics, much less make similar jokes.

But Rick Santorum's strange comments yesterday comparing marriage to napkins and gay marriage to paper towels (I think) proved to be one of those cases. Though each host brought his own angle to the topic, both ended up with a roll of paper towels on his desk and a Brawny logo behind him, and both made jokes that involved dogs (though they weren't even remotely similar jokes, strangely enough). Here's each guy's take on that funny Mr. Santorum and his attempt to explain the concept of the slippery slope using napkins:

Stewart: This could lead to "mouth-on-dog wiping!":

Colbert (about 3 minutes in): "This undermines the sanctity of the thing you use to pick up dog vomit":
