Nothing better than Schweddy Balls, right?

It’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.  During Saturday Night Live’s most recent heyday, one of the stand-out skits was Molly Shannon and Ana Gasteyer’s Delicious Dish segment.  A parody of public radio cooking shows, each episode was laced with sexual innuendo, terrible jokes, and the best deadpan delivery I’ve ever seen.  The most famous skit, of course, was Delicious Dish’s segment on Pete Schweddy and his delicious Schweddy Balls.  Well, now you’ll be able to eat Pete Schweddy’s balls for real, and you have Ben & Jerry’s to thank.  Ben & Jerry’s will be releasing Schweddy Balls ice cream.

“For a long time, I thought that ‘Here Lies Pete Schweddy’ would end up on my tombstone,” said Alec Baldwin in a statement.  “Now, thanks to Ben & Jerry’s, the goodness of the Schweddy family recipe won’t go with me to the great beyond.”

Added Ana Gasteyer, “The Schweddy Balls sketch was a personal favorite from my ‘SNL’ run, so I am pleased as holiday punch that Ben and Jerry’s has taken it upon themselves to share the Schweddy Family recipe with the world.  As a person and a performer, I am a sucker for holiday balls.  And I have no doubt this ice cream will cause many to scream ‘Good Times.'”

Fortunately for ice cream lovers, Schweddy Balls contains no breast milk and is not based on fish and chips.  Instead, Schweddy Balls will feature premium vanilla ice cream with a hint of rum, studded with fudge-covered rum balls and milk chocolate malt balls.  Sounds like it’s going to be pretty good ice cream, despite the name.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
