If you haven't seen "Funny or Die's" popular culture game show "Billy on the Street," then you probably don't recognize the name, Billy Eichner. However, if you've watched NBC's "Parks and Recreation," then you might recognize the name Craig Middlebrooks – better known as Crazy Craig. Still confused? Take a look at some of Craig Middlebrooks' best scenes and then come back.

"Billy on the Street" brings the essential nature of Craig Middlebrooks to the streets of New York City, where Billy quizzes random passerby's on the latest in pop culture. Billy's erratic behavior and outlandish responses to random men and women on the streets of New York are shocking and hilarious, both to the viewer and the innocent participant. In no particular order of preference, here are some of the many times Eichner made our abs hurt from laughing – that's considered a workout right?

1. When he made Michelle Obama, a.k.a. #FLOTUS, push him around a grocery store while he read Gwyneth Paltrow's acceptance speech.

2. When he took Amy Poehler caroling around the streets of New York City.

3. When Billy paid this stranger a dollar after he admitted that he thinks Jimmy Fallon is the best talk show host in front of Seth Meyers.

4. When Billy and Lindsay Lohan smashed a "How I Met Your Mother" decorated car in spite of the show ending.

5. When Billy harassed innocent civilians by playing a lightning round of "Would You Have Sex With Paul Rudd?" with Paul Rudd.

6. When Billy encountered a woman who couldn't name another woman in the lightning round of "Name a Woman."

7. When Billy not-so-subtly called out the issues of cultural appropriation.

8. When Billy told Drew Barrymore what Drew Barrymore would like in a game of "Would Drew Barrymore Like That?"

9. When Billy introduced his favorite civilian Elena to her favorite person, Michelle Obama.

10. When he had Julianne Moore act for the money of tourists on the streets.

Also, see "Anna Kendrick vs. Katy Perry's Cat."

If these perfect examples didn't convince you enough that you need to watch "Billy on the Street," then I don't know what will.

Four seasons in, "Billy on the Street" has pushed a new kind of comedic envelope. The traditional game show setting has changed drastically over the years, leaving the audience-filled studios and taking to the streets of New York City. Billy catches people in their most natural and honest moments, showing us the essence of human nature that the show is built around.

Watch here or every Wednesday night at 11 or 10 p.m. central and 11:30 or 10:30 p.m. central on TruTV.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.
