Canada Wins for Best Super Bowl Ad (And It’s About Hockey)
Written by Pats Papers | Friday, 3 February 2012 10:09 AM
Of the Super Bowl ads I’ve seen so far, this is my favorite. Labatt, which distributes Budweiser in Canada, delivered a very pleasant surprise to a group of guys playing a recreational hockey game.
Pat Kiernan, Cordless Drill Fanatic
Written by Pat's Papers | Thursday, 2 February 2012 8:33 AM
Most of you know me as Pat Kiernan, NY1 anchor. But little did you know I have another career: cordless drill fanatic. Actually, you would know that if you’ve invited me to your wedding in the last decade—it’s my go-to gift, whether it’s made an appearance on the registry or not.
Today’s Starbucks Alter Ego: “Hairly”
Written by Pat's Papers | Monday, 30 January 2012 6:01 AM
We got an email from Hilary this morning, after she made a pit stop to get some coffee. She writes: “I stopped into a Starbucks en route to DC and despite giving and spelling my name (h-i-l-a-r-y), they called out and spelled Hairly.” Our advice? Don’t take it personally.
Sh** Pat Kiernan Says
Written by Pats Papers | Wednesday, 25 January 2012 11:40 AM
The hilarious “Sh** News Yorkers Say” video is at well over two million views now, and all of them have witnessed creator Eliot Glazer’s apparent fascination with Pat. So it seemed appropriate to deliver a response video.
Play Trivia with Pat at the Bell House
Written by Pat's Papers | Friday, 20 January 2012 6:35 AM
I’m getting ready to host another TrivWorks event at the Bell House, this time in celebration of my adopted city. “We Love NYC: A Pop Culture Trivia Night Celebrating the World’s Greatest City” will take place next week, on Wednesday, January 25th, starting at 7:30. This week I sat down for a couple of interviews to talk about why it is I love New York so much, among other topics.
Sh** New Yorkers Say
Written by Pats Papers | Wednesday, 18 January 2012 11:20 PM
It seems as if all you have to do these days to make a video go viral is put Sh** Blank Blank Say in its title. This week we’ve already seen Sh** Nobody Says, and Sh** Yogis Say. Now, I’d like to present Sh** New Yorkers Say. Let me mention I would have enjoyed this video even if it didn’t mention me by name three times.
VIDEO: Sh#% Yogis Say
Written by Pat's Papers | Friday, 13 January 2012 8:37 AM
If you enjoyed the VIDEO we put up a couple days ago detailing the…stuff no one says, you’ll probably enjoy this one that Lululemon has just published, Sh#$ Yogis Say. Seems kind of edgy for a company to make fun of its core buyer but I guess a viral video is a viral video. Among the gems: I’m concerned about your aura. I’ve got total yoga hair. I’ve got a blockage I’m working on.
VIDEO: SH#% Nobody Says
Written by Pat's Papers | Thursday, 12 January 2012 7:02 AM
I just wish there were more WNBA on television. Does anyone know how to make Papyrus my default font? Baggy t-shirts look awesome on you. Never seen this IKEA furniture at any else’s apartment. The Beatles suck. First time hearing these phrases? That’s because they’re Sh$# Nobody Says, the name and the premise of a very funny new video blog. Speaking of, I think they call those vlogs, which is also something people never say. VIDEO
VIDEO: World’s Coolest Flight Attendant
Written by Pat's Papers | Wednesday, 11 January 2012 6:51 AM
You know how boring it is to sit through that same announcement every time you board a plane, the one about where the exit rows are and what to do in case of emergency? Well, apparently it’s as boring for flight attendants to announce as it is for us to hear. Unless, of course you are the world’s coolest flight attendant. VIDEO
Today’s Starbucks Alter Ego: “Amber”
Written by Pat's Papers | Wednesday, 11 January 2012 6:38 AM
Today we got an email from Catherine, detailing the scene that unfolded as she tried to get her morning coffee:
Conversation at Starbucks this morning:
Cashier: What’s your name?
Me: Catherine
Cashier: Amber?
Me: No, Catherine
Catherine adds, “What name showed up on my coffee? That’s right, Amber. At least I knew they meant me when they called it out.”
