In modern society, men who dress up as women rarely do it to fool anyone. At least, we have to assume that because they're doing an absolutely awful job otherwise. In these ten works of fiction, the cross-dressers are doing no better, yet all of them managed to fool dozens of unsuspecting dupes.

10-Daniel Hillard played by Robin Williams from Mrs. Doubtfire

If you didn't DOUBT the effectiveness of Daniel Hillard's disguise, you should probably be set on FIRE (see what I did there).  While the costume certainly makes Robin Williams less recognizable, it does a less admirable job at making him appear authentically human.  In fact, I've seen mountains on Mars that look more human than that.  If there is one thing that says you're fit to have custody of your children, it's sneaking into your ex-wife's house by posing as an elderly Scottish woman via cross-dressing.
 

Unlike Britain’s frumpy, singing-sensation, Susan Boyle, the majority of us have had significant others at one point or another.  And yet there are many of us that are still single (by no fault of our own, of course).  If only we could find a girlfriend who’s up to the high standards that film and TV have established, we could kiss loneliness goodbye forever.  With that in mind, here are the 12 girlfriend archetypes that keep us searching for Ms. Right.

12-Clementine Kruczynski from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind


It seems like only yesterday when we watched Leonardo DiCaprio paint a nude Clementine Kruczynski just before their boat hit an iceberg and sunk.  And in the 200 years that have past since the sinking of the Titanic (I didn’t major in history), Clementine got all crazy.  We can tell this by looking at her wacky clothes and her brightly colored hair, which indicate that this babe is most likely a freak in the sheets (I apologize for using that banal colloquialism).
 

As men, we spend a good portion of our time doing manly things. Unfortunately, there are certain things that have to be done on occasion that cause us to betray our specified gender roles. Here are 8 things that it's tough to keep our Man Card while doing. Not even John Wayne could do the things on this list without sacrificing a little bit of his manliness.

8- Tie a ponytail


Long hair, especially when it's tied off in a pony tail, is a perfectly fine look for women and girls but on men, it's a little iffy. Thankfully, there are enough badass men who have rocked the pony tail for us to ever question a man's decision to tie his long locks off into a hair whip. But have you ever watched a man actually tie his hair off into a pony tail? It doesn't matter how manly or scary or metal the dude is: the sight of him gathering his hair together and then twisting a rubber band-or worse, one of those stretchy band things girls use-around the ensuing bundle is just plain wrong. We're not saying pony tails on men are bad-unless you're this guy, at which point, it is-but dude, if you're going to rock one, do yourself a favor and tie if off in private because it totally makes you look like a wuss.
 

The release of Watchmen is fast approaching, and you know what that means: it's almost time for the internet to become filled with nerds complaining about what they did wrong. When you take the most respected book in the entire comic community and make it into a blockbuster movie, some internet backlash is bound to occur. But what are you going to hear comic nerds ranting about as they leave the midnight showing? Here's a handy guide of what to expect.

6. "They changed the dialogue!"



When it comes to anything written by Alan Moore, for comic fans you might as well be talking about the Bible. In fact, scratch that. I think even fundamental Christians have the occasional doubt about what they're reading. But not for Moore devotees, who revere each word like a tiny angel that is whispering truths of the world into their ears. So when it comes to any adaptation of his work, fans go in with a negative opinion knowing that the dialogue will have been altered. And they're not wrong, Alan is a talented wordsmith, but there's no sense in complaining about every change. As long as I don't hear "Dudes, I totally did it 35 minutes ago" I'll be pretty happy.


Celebrities have bad days just like the rest of us. Unfortunately, there are usually still recording devices nearby when they have those bad days. Unfortunately for them that is. Fortunate for us, because that means we get to hear them. And here are 9 of our favorites.


9-  Chris Berman



Somehow, the fact that a sportscaster like Chris Berman has a nasty temper really doesn't come as much of a surprise. So when some people are walking around during his shot it's pretty expected that he would freak out on them and throw a little tantrum. But what really makes this one memorable is his inability to let it go. Every time he takes a breath you think his rant is over, but nope, he gets riled up again and has to keep repeating how shocked he is that his amateur crew would dare to distract him from his craft. Chris, you're reading footbal scores off a prompter buddy. It's not like they walked through your monologue during a production of Hamlet.
 

Professional athletes take a lot of punishment but at least they get an off-season to recuperate and heal; sports fans don't have it so easy. Sports is a year-round proposition, thanks to ESPN, sports-talk radio and the Internet. The good news is that we can talk about and think about sports every single day. The bad news is that there are days (and even weeks and months) in the sporting calendar that absolutely suck. For every memorable event like the Super Bowl or the first pitch of the season, there are dead spots where sports fans are left begging for something interesting to happen. These are the 8 worst times of the sports year where the stars do whatever the opposite of aligning is and we're stuck with a day's worth of Jai-alai and WNBA recaps on SportsCenter.


8- All-Star Weekend


Fact: All-Star games suck. But you already knew that right? The only real reason why All-Star games still exist is because it's profitable for the league and they draw in non-fans who 'ooh' and 'aah' at the pretty light show. Real sports fans know that the All-Star game is pointless; hell, even the athletes involved know it. Yes, there is a certain honor in being recognized as an All-Star but fan voting has turned All-Star rosters in a popularity contest, meaning you're more likely to get voted in based on name recognition than on actual skill and stats. Couple this with the fact that the outcome is absolutely meaningless (don't get us started on Selig's ridiculously stupid decision to grant home-field based on the All-Star game) and you have a recipe for a craptacular game that's bookended by a lot of craptacular "entertainment" like home run derbies and ice-skating races. What sucks is that the leagues make such a big deal out of them, shutting everything down so they can put on a glorified dog and pony show; is it any wonder why All-Star celebrations are looked upon with such disdain by true sports fans who aren't fooled by the glitz and the glamour?
 

Celebrities do not rise overnight. Well at least not real ones. The girls from the Hills and the now infamous Joe the Plumber may have gotten famous extremely quickly for apparently no reason, but most actual celebrities have to work tirelessly over years to get where they are now. That is why some of today's best actors have filmographies filled with some less than stellar film choices. The best, of course, are the ones who acted in projects that have no resemblance to anything they do today. Here are 8 of the best.

8- Laurence Fishburne- "Pee Wee's Playhouse"

These days Laurence is known primarily for offering horrible actors a blue or red pill, but back before he was the too cool for school Morpheus he appeared on Pee Wee's Playhouse as the, well, somewhat less cool Cowboy Curtis. With long black curls flowing from his oversized cowboy hat and an "only in the 80's" pastel splattered cowboy outfit, as Cowboy Curtis Laurence Fishburne managed to make the cowboy from the Village People look like John Wayne and Clint Eastwood rolled up into one. And the crowd he hung out with sure was different. I don't remember Chairy or Jambi the Genie ever dodging bullets in slow motion.

For something that's probably scientifically impossible, works of fiction sure seem to make the living disembodied head commonplace. The following ten heads have floated to the top of our hearts.

10- The Wizard from The Wizard of Oz

While the Wizard's status as a floating head can be disputed, what with it being a camera trick carried out by a bodied fat dude behind a curtain, the Wizard's place in movie history can be disputed. By showing the disparity in fear produced by a floating head and a normal guy, future scribes learned a valuable lesson. Floating heads are scary.

There is perhaps no boat, with the exception of the bikini-babe filled yacht, that man yearns to be inside more than the submarine. Hollywood has realized that and has produce many fiction stories featuring the aquatic wonder. However, some of the lamer ones are about as stupid as a screen door on a... well, you know.

7-The Penguin Sub from Batman: The Movie

It's tough to instill fear in your enemies when you're 5 feet tall and over 300 lbs, and you do yourself no further favors when you choose to sculpt your means of transportation after one of the most harmless birds in existence. But that's the breaks for the self-proclaimed "criminal mastermind" who has an unexplainable affinity for the flightless bird known as the penguin. During the 1966 Batman movie (based on the infamously campy Batman series that ran during the 60's), the portly super villain known as the Penguin harbored a menagerie of master criminals in his penguin-shaped, submersible lair. Eventually, said lair was discovered by the dark knight, and The Batman proceed to beat this plump super villain into compliance. But prior to this fat-ass-kicking, spectators were treated to several "high tech" underwater shots that showed Hollywood's movie-making magic at its best. The Golden years indeed.

In real life, it's hard to take down an enemy with one punch. Moreover, it hardly assures your dominance after the act. In the wonderful world of Hollywood, however, a well-placed punch will bring about great change. Here's 8 punches that mattered.

8- Jason Voorhees vs. Julius Gaw in Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan

Friday the 13th antagonist Jason Voorhees has two types of interaction with his enemies. Either he's quickly killing an unsuspecting and usually nude victim or being slowly killed by the survivors at the end of the film. His brawl with pugilist Julius Gaw seems to defy that convention, which makes the conclusion all the more shocking. Julius unloads punch after punch on Jason, which fazed the mass murderer ever so slightly. After a minute of uninterrupted and ineffectual offense, Julius relents, allowing Jason to finally get a punch in. He only needs one, since it beheads Julius, sending his cranium careening off the roof, and into a dumpster, with such force that the lid closes over it!

Knockout Time: 1:56.
