YES! Ron Burgundy Announces ‘Anchorman 2′ With Jazz Flute and Conan O’Brien

MissInfo:

I like to keep my chops up, jam with the cats…see if a lil’ backstage cutie ends up on my lap. And then later that night, she’s playing my flute. And by flute I mean…my turgid p—s.”

“I want to announce to everyone here in the Americas, to our friends in Spain, Turkey, and the UK, including England…that as of 0900 Mountain Time, Paramount Pictures and myself, Ronald Joseph Aaron Burgundy have comes to terms on a sequel toAnchorman. There will be a sequel.” *plays self out with jazz flute*

Clearly, this is the best news of 2012. There is no manlier man than Ron Burgundy. He’s forever changed the image of polyester. I can’t even think about milk without thinking of how it glistens on his beard. And his magic prose has been referenced by everyone from Kanye to…well, everyone.
The original Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy is practically a deal-breaker friend test (Did you love Anchorman? No? Goodbye!) And the DVD-extra Wake Up, Ron Burgundy: The Lost Movie was a nice hold-over for fanatics….
But we’ve been waiting for a real follow up for a long time.

Now, along with Ron’s sexy announcement on the Conan O’Brien show on Weds night, there is news from Deadline that Paul Rudd and Steve Carell are both joining Will Ferrell on Anchorman 2. And most importantly, Judd Apatow will again produce the flick, and Adam McKay will return to direct and co-write the script with Ferrell. I remember some early talk about the movie being set in the 80s, with Burgundy struggling to fit in? Then there were rumors that it was going to be in 3D, then it was going to be a musical. Oh whatever, shoot it on an iphone in a parking lot.

‘Mad Men’ Remixed: The Best Viral Videos

It’s not surprising that the stylized 1960s world of Mad Men, saturated with cigarettes, booze, and other politically incorrect behavior, has been appropriated, remixed, and parodied in countless videos by fans and pros alike. Here we present some of the viral hits that sustained viewers during the show’s seemingly endless hiatus.

Above: Elisa Kreisinger, aka Pop Culture Pirate, uses razor-sharp editing to subvert mainstream cultural messages. In Set Me Free, Kreisinger and Marc Faletti have the ladies of Mad Men cover the Supremes’ “You Keep Me Hanging On,” pulling the lyrics, word for word, from clips in the show.
