If the Summer Olympics rewarded teams for being douchebags, Team USA would easily win the gold. While the likes of Kevin Durant and Derrick Rose are leading the way for humble stars, the NBA still has a lion's share of d-bags and nobody leads the pack quite like the Nets' Kris Humphries. Between the caveman face and the fling with the Broad with the Big Ass, Humphries has built an impressive resume. The power forward gets booed by his hometown fans... even though he was easily their second-best player last season with Brook Lopez on injury reserve. We're looking forward to the Nets' move to Brooklyn where Kris can box-out hipsters or steal a kid's hot dog at Coney Island.

While his missteps have been many, it looks like Humphries at least has a sense of humor about it and shot a video with Funny Or Die mocking himself. This may be his first step on the road to redemption... or it may just be more fuel for fans' hatred.

There's a lot to love about "Community"--Annie's Boobs and Annie's boobs immediately come to mind. There's also Troy and Abed's obsession with the fake TV show "Inspector Spacetime." A "Dr. Who" parody starring the dashing Inspector and his trusty assistant Constable Reggie, "Inspector Spacetime" is the type of show anti-social dweebs love. Which is to say, we'd love it. It's also part of an exclusive club of fake TV shows within real TV shows that we'd totally watch. Below we've listed all 10 members of that club.

Like professional athletes training for a grinding schedule, the cast of MTV2's "Guy Code" spent the past several months sharpening their wits for the upcoming season of the show. After reviewing their off-season training regimens, we're pretty much positive they'll be ready to dish more great "Code." For example, Jon Gabrus traveled to the Middle East  for a massively unhealthy offering from a domestic fast food chain--Pizza Hut. Because why not? And Melanie Iglesias double-teamed the "Cat Daddy" dance, from which we gleaned a simple but important mathematical equation, below. Check it out.

Sa da tay! Comedian/writer/director Louis C.K. just announced that his forgotten first feature film "Tomorrow Night" will be available soon for purchase on his website. Despite featuring the likes of  Todd Barry, J.B. Smoove and Steve Carell, the dark comedy has flown under the radar of even the most hardcore comedy nerds since its release in 1998 due to lack of distribution. Lucky for us, Louis is now excited about selling his work online after his "Live at the Beacon Theater" sold well.

Perhaps "Tomorrow Night" will join Louis C.K.'s other feature film "Pootie Tang" as a cult hit. Its release in 2001 was anti-climatic, but "Tang" has gone on to develop a strong following, jump-started the careers of s today's comedy stars like Wanda Sykes, Dave Attell and J.B. Smoove and honed C.K.'s directorial chops for FX's "Louie." While waiting for the Louis C.K. machine to release "Tomorrow Night," you can bide your time with these 10 weird and funny "Pootie Tang" GIFs.

Many of today's rap stars are incredibly industrious and ambitious people who have worked hard to accomplish their celebrity. And many of them, despite having "made it," still work tirelessly in the studio and apply their business savvy to ventures outside of music. P. Diddy gave us Sean John Clothing, Lil Jon brought the world CRUNK!!! Energy Drink and Jay-Z is part-owner of the Brooklyn Nets. And, oh yeah, Lil Wayne never sleeps. You get the picture: these guys are everywhere, always on the grind, 24/7.

So, what do you for fun if you're an enterprising rapper constantly focused on building your personal empire? You make a cameo in a comedy movie, of course. Short appearances in funny films give rappers a lighthearted break from their regular dealings and rigorous schedules (while still bringing in that paper), and we as the audience get to see that they don't always take themselves so seriously. Check out the following six funny rapper cameos in comedy movies.

On mtvU's "Stand In With Bill Maher," UCLA Politics professor Tom Schwartz, an outspoken republican, decides one day to let comedian and famously smarmy left-wing old guy, Bill Maher, take over his Intro to American Politics class. Even though professor Schwartz rides a motorcycle and is probably pretty damn cool, it has to be the most interesting thing that's ever happened in his class. When you're a nineteen year old UCLA student, having Bill Maher show up to your class and give your stuffy right-wing professor is probably akin to your renegade uncle showing up at Christmas and convincing your dad to let you get a tattoo. The initial exchange between professor Schwartz and Bill Maher looks like it might erupt in a smarm-off, but Schwartz gives the floor to Maher before he really turns up the swagger.

In the clip below, Maher addresses Mitt Romney's Mormonism and how it's going to play into this year's election. He then drops some religious knowledge on the kids, hoping for a room full of gasps, not realizing that they've all seen that definitive "South Park" episode. Enjoy.

Lindsay Ames' original comedy series of shorts is back at MTV Clutch! "How To End A Date In 30 Seconds Or Less" showcases a variety of horrible dates that end faster than it takes to text message someone to get lost. This latest one features a man that has an interesting talent. "Interesting" is an overstatement and "talent" actually means "something most 10-year-old boys can do." Still his dedication to it during his first date with Lindsay is impressive.

NBC has released promos for Eli Manning's upcoming hosting gig on "Saturday Night Live" and, to paraphrase former Cardinals coach Denny Green, he's a little bit awkward and definitely not as funny as Peyton. Eli goes back-and-forth with Kenan Thompson for most of the spot. The 6' 4," two-time Super Bowl winner says "hosting" and "SNL" eight times, which wouldn't be notable except that Eli has a little bit of a lisp. That's nothing to be ashamed of, but the producers probably wouldn't ask a one-legged man to jump rope for an entire sketch.

Overall, the promo is just OK but we still have hope because Eli's appearance brings a wealth of sketch possibilities: Eli overhears the writers discussing how Eli isn't very funny; cast members repeatedly call him Peyton during the monologue; Lorne Michaels mistakes the youngish looking Eli for an NBC page and yells at him. A Reddit commenter suggested an "MTV Cribs" episode where Eli's house is a shrine to himself and Cooper Manning is the butler.

Peyton set the bar for NFL players on "SNL" pretty high. Read on for Peyton's best sketch plus the top acts from other football studs on the show.
