Music Video: Marshall Eriksen, "You Just Got Slapped" (from How I Met Your Mother)

BuzzSugar — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 12:34:29 PST

What's better than slapping your best friends across the face in a hilarious and unexpected manner? Why, singing about the slapping, of course! If you watched last night's very special Slapsgiving episode of How I Met Your Mother, you saw Marshall's latest slap of Barney - and you also saw the gang gathered around the piano at the end, singing an ode to the special moment.

Well, that's not all: The HIMYM crew recorded an official music video for the song, with Jason Segel's Marshall fancied up all in a tux and tails, slapping glasses off the top of his grand piano. All it's missing is Barney's warbling harmonies.

The "You Just Got Slapped" video has replaced the countdown clock over at SlapCountdown.com, or you can also just watch it right here if you

No Balance Transfer Fee Offers Aren't Always a Bargain

Business Insider — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 10:49:00 PST

We're thrilled to present this smart Business Insider story here on Savvy!

Credit card companies may be targeting consumers with great credit with a host of new perks recently, but CreditCards.com warns against falling for 0% balance transfer fee offers.

In a study looking at offers from 37 lenders, the site found offers to waive these fees for as many as 21 months.

But there's a catch: Companies are also charging much more for balance transfers once the offer period ends.

They've got customers who carry balances and have a healthy credit score in their crosshairs, rolling out more than 1 billion mail offers to consumers in the third quarter of 2011 alone.

Earlier this month, Cardhub.com's Credit Card Landscape Report found credit card companies were more than willing to extend 0% introductory rates for new customers in the last quarter of 2011, and offered 60% more cash back rewards offers.

"After the CARD Act, we thought zero percent balance transfer offers would just go away," Linda Sherry, director of national priorities for Consumer Action, told the site. "But it turned out that wasn't true."

Another way they've compensated for keeping the waiver alive is by nixing the usual $50-$75 balance transfer fee caps.

CreditCards.com's survey found 12 cards offer the fee waiver for six months, three for a year and seven for 15 months.

Glee-ful Highlights From Episode "I Kissed a Girl"

Shannon Vestal — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 07:41:59 PST

Everyone's got election fever on this week's Glee, and we find out the results of both the student body and congressional race. Because of the political ad threatening to expose Santana, we watch her deal with her sexuality, and the support she gets (and doesn't get) from those around her. It brings out a soft side of Finn (no, that's not a reference to Santana's preferred insults for Finn), who asks everyone to sing a song celebrating women. Sue also gets taken to task for her love life, but her tactics end up hurting Coach Beiste.

Meanwhile, Puck and Shelby take their forbidden relationship to the next level, and Rachel does something to help Kurt, but she ends up hurting the whole glee club. It's a surprisingly emotional episode, and there are lots of great lines (Santana and Sue really outdo themselves this week), but what made it for me are this week's upbeat, encouraging musical numbers. Let's break it all down into the highlights when you keep reading.

Keep Your iPhone 4/4S Slim With the Moshi iGlaze Case

Kristy Korcz — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 05:01:50 PDT

Some people just feel better with protection. iPhone protection, that is. I've been using the Moshi iGlaze case ($25) on my iPhone 4S for the past few days now, and I have to say - it's been a very pleasant experience. Not only does the iGlaze keep my phone from getting scratched up in the back (thanks in part to a buffer film that you attach before slapping on the case), but it also keeps my iPhone 4S looking slim and trim. The sides of the case don't protrude out, and after a while you'll barely know you've got a case on your device. What's more, there's a nice matte finish on the back of the cases of color, while the clear version virtually disappears altogether.

The Moshi iGlaze comes in the five colors you see here (along with a clear version), but you can get a closer look in the gallery!

4 Reasons Roommates Fight About Money

Kiplinger — Mon, 23 May 2011 11:55:44 PDT

We're thrilled to present this smart Kiplinger story here on Savvy!

Whether you're moving out of the dorms for the first time or you've been living sans-resident-adviser for a while now, you might consider getting one or more roommates to help cut costs. But sharing a living space can be a minefield of monetary problems.

Sidestep any big blowups by discussing how you’ll address potential problems with your roommate(s) before you even sign a lease. And consider formalizing your chat by creating an official roommate agreement - signed and notarized, just in case a little spat escalates to a legal battle. Here are eight common causes of cohabitation conflict that you might address in your contract:

1. Size Matters

Specify how much each person will pay for rent and which room (or side of the room) each person will get. Especially if one room is bigger or comes with better perks (such as a nice view or its own bathroom), everyone needs to agree on the living situation. You may all decide that the person taking the biggest room ought to pay the biggest slice of rent.

Or you can work out another arrangement. For example, my old roommate and I shared a two-bedroom apartment, where I got the master bedroom (complete with a view of tennis courts, where unwitting casual players were subjected to my dramatic, stroke-by-stroke commentary) and she took the other, much-smaller room. We didn’t want to quibble over how much each room was worth, so we agreed to split the rent evenly. To make it fair, I let her use the majority of the common area as her personal office space. And we lived together happily ever after -- for a year (she was even a bridesmaid in my wedding).

Miriam Lacey — Thu, 26 May 2011 11:40:00 PDT

Dolly Parton is an irrepressible blond bundle of bonhomie and bon mots, and she's been talking up a hilarious storm lately. In an interview with UK magazine Q, she dished on everything from losing her wig and having a legendary bosom, to sawing Taylor Swift's legs off at the knee, to her thoughts on giving Reese Witherspoon enlarged assets. To see all the juiciest tidbits from the interview, just keep reading.

Buzz Blabber: Game of Thrones Wins a Following

BuzzSugar — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 03:05:00 PDT

You guys got chatty this week when it came to some topics you were passionate about. This week, that included the conclusion of one of TV's awesome new series, a cheesy trailer, and the eliminations of a certain dancing show.

Game of Thrones' first season gets your stamp of approval

"I'm definitely hooked, and no one is more surprised about that than me! I didn't even like LOTR (sorry, everyone, don't kill me) but as the season went on Game of Thrones just got better and better. During the last few episodes, I found myself thinking about the show almost nonstop, something I haven't done since Lost. Yay for good storytelling and a genre that feels totally new and different." - jadenirvana
"Next year can't come soon enough. Game of Thrones is probably the best thing on TV right now, too bad the season is so short. I can't wait to find out what happens now that Dany is the Dragon Queen and if Tyrion is gonna go to King's Landing and slap Joffrey upside the head a couple more times. Hooked, I tell yah!" - maiirs
"I am completely hooked; I already was in the first episode. And the development of the story lines just makes me even more interested in it. Think the cast is beyond fantastic and that it's a great hit that George R. R. Martin is a main part of the direction of the show, too. Now I am so excited about what's coming next season, and can't wait for more Joe Dempsie (Gendry)!" - pss

To see what else got you guys talking, just

"I completely disagreed with the judges. I would have kept the couple who they were initially going to save, Iveta and Nick. I also disagreed with their opinion regarding Wadi's solo, I thought it was great, and he did an amazing job. Ah, c'est la vie!" - Tari007
"I really wish they'd done a bottom-four couples to give more options for elimination. Nick got the boot far too soon. If they'd had one more couple in there I think he and Missy would have both been safe. Or if they'd made eliminations last week, the bottom three would have been completely different this time around. Having said that, there's no way they could let Ricky go after his solo. It was probably one of the best I've seen throughout the show's existence." - demarco11
"It's a shame that Iveta isn't on the show anymore. She's amazingly talented and she really showed us that she's great. I think that it's hard with her, though, since she's a world champion already, but I think that she should have stayed. You knew that the judges would keep Ryan, though - they have a special place in their hearts for her (right now at least)" - ilanac13

The Footloose trailer offers up some cheese

"I love the original - I don't think it needed a remake, and it really isn't relevant to today (I agree with what you say, no town now would ever have a ban on dancing)." - littlemunchkin
"It looks exactly identical to the original. Exactly. But insert hip-hop music for awesome. cheesy '80s music. Dang, Hollywood is lazy! Oh, but I am still totally going to go see it, which makes me very angry." - emilylastr
"I have not seen the original and I do not want to see this. It looks so cheesy, corny, and it would never happen today. But the dancing does look good." - Gdeeaz
