John Mayer vs. Rainn Wilson, Round Two: Wilson Apologizes, Mayer Retreats And Deletes

By

We’ve got some interesting updates for you, the loyal Best Week Ever reader, regarding the digital catfight between John Mayer and Rainn Wilson. As you’ll recall, sexual napalm enthusiast John Mayer unleashed an epic tirade on Rainn Wilson on Tumblr last night, one in which Mayer accused Wilson of stealing one of his buddy’s jokes. Well, as you can see above, word quickly made its way to Wilson about the accusations, and he apologized to his 1,981,623 followers — he managed to pick up 281 followers since last night! — on Twitter for the mistake. However, Wilson has yet to update his original post, and commenters on his site have taken him to task for that.

What happened with Mayer, though, is slightly more interesting.

John Mayer Accuses Rainn Wilson Of Joke Thievery

By

Whether it’s been Joe Rogan vs. Carlos Mencia or Patton Oswalt vs. The Yale Valedictorian Who Plagiarized Him, we here at Best Week Ever have always paid close to the dirty world of joke theft. And now, none other than John Mayer is accusing one Rainn Wilson, the not-so-popular-choice to be the next head of The Office, of thieving one of his friends’ jokes on Twitter!

On a post he wrote on his Tumblr site earlier today titled “Show Your Notes,” John Mayer presented some pretty compelling evidence that Rainn Wilson had stolen a joke that was originally penned by Jordan Rubin and posted to his Twitter account. The original joke, which was originally posted back on April 10 and was viewed over 100,000 times, was a Photoshopped look at Rubin’s inbox, one that was meant to convey how dashing and important Rubin is. Not necessarily hilarious, mind you, but it was something that Mayer claims Rubin worked long and hard on. Then, just yesterday, Wilson posted THE EXACT SAME IMAGE on his Wilson’s Tumblr site without any attribution whatsoever.

The evidence is, as you might expect, below:

Stop Plagiarizing Patton Oswalt. You Will Get Caught.

By

By Patton Oswalt. And that’s no fun. The latest in the plagiarizing Patton Oswalt trend is Columbia School of General Studies valedictorian Brain Corman. Dude used Oswalt’s “Physics for Poets” bit in his speech. Because no one would notice the wildly successful comedian’s popular bit? I don’t know. I just don’t know. Here’s the excerpt from Corman’s speech:

Here’s Oswalt’s original bit:

Sorry that was cut off. You get it. Corman apologized to Oswalt, which is nice. In that it’s completely too little too late and WHAT WAS HE THINKING. This should serve as a PSA to anyone who is even considering slightly referencing an Oswalt joke without proper citation. Just don’t do it. Write your own sh*t.

Not for nothing, when I gave my college commecement speech I ripped off Scottish comedian Denny Willis’ “The Fox Has Left Its Lair” bit.* Killed, KILLED. And no one was the wiser. Fools.

*No I didn’t.

The 7-Year-Old Car Thief Is Playing All Of Us Like A Cheap Set Of Legos

By

Hopefully by now you’ve seen the video of 7-year-old Preston Scarbrough expertly evading the police in his parents’ car then ditching the vehicle and making a run for it like he was on a Disney Channel version of Cops. This kid is my new hero. If he’s not yours, then you are clearly a racist (yea, I said it). However, I can’t shake the feeling that there is something sinister behind those innocent eyes…

First, check out this video of Preston talking with Natalie Morales and Al Roker on the Today Show.

Cute, right? How could you be mad at that kid? Let’s just give him his license now because it would be adorable and he’s pretty damn good behind the wheel, right? Not so fast, citizen DMV worker. Preston was on the Today Show again with Meredith Viera, and his story seems to change a little bit when asked why he took the car (after the jump).

This Guy Picked The Wrong Week To Start Being A Superhero

By

You know how in a lot of superhero movies there is a part where the authorities decide the hero is a menace and wants them arrested, but then the villian’s plan comes to fruition and everyone realizes that they need the help of the hero after all? Well this scene from Times Square yesterday has me worried there is trouble a-brewing:

supes_down

According to the New York Post:

Superman, aka Maksim Katsnelson, 23, of The Bronx, was arrested and charged with assault and resisting arrested, police said, accusing him of punching a female officer in the face while she was trying to subdue him.

The incident occurred when cops approached Katsnelson, who was panhandling, and asked him for ID.

When Katsnelson said he didn’t have any ID, cops continued to ask him questions, sources said.

That’s when Katsnelson punched the female officer, sources said.

Let’s hope we can spring Superman from the slammer in time before Lex Luthor kills more celebrities.

Hey everyone, had a fun two weeks with you all. Hopefully we can blog-out again soon.
