The Christmas ads have already started rolling out on TV, but the ad agencies behind these seasonal spots might as well give up because the all time holiday ad winner has already come out.

It has everything you want in a seasonal ad- warm, happy themes of togetherness, cool Christmas decor, the tree, the presents, stop motion animation and James Corden singing.

But it's more than just an ad for Sainsbury's- it's an eye-pleasing animated short!

If this Sainsbury's ad gave you all the feels it's probably because of the incredibly expressive puppet stars, who were painstakingly crafted and animated by Passion Animation Studios in London.

There will be people out there trying to get you to join the Empire and see the galaxy, people whose war machine is fueled by hatred and rage and who may or may not have cookies.

They will speak of greatness and power, but siding with them will only lead to ruin...or riches, depending on your perspective.

Maybe you're in to wearing big shiny helmets and stomping around in shiny black boots while your stylish cape flutters behind you.

Perhaps you enjoy watching entire planets get disintegrated while force choking fools who are late in bringing you your lunch.

If so then you've got a lot in common with Andrew Bridgman and cartoonist Anna-Maria Jung, and you should both go paint your faces like Darth Maul and sit on a moisture vaporator because Jedis are way cooler! And they don't die, so beat that!

If the NFL gets any more physical it will have more in common with wrestling than any other ball based sport, which will definitely change the branding for each team.

Instead of the classic fully clothed New England patriot we'd have a bare chested John Cena, and that racist and outdated redskin's head would be replaced by Hulk Hogan's noggin, to help bring Hulkamania to the gridiron.

Teams like the Chargers who seem to be up for grabs in terms of home city would dig in to their roots with a little help from the Undertaker

And Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson would return to his roots in Miami to become the head of the Miami Rocks. Smells like he's cooking some pigskin!

If a character's name didn't mean anything then virtually every fictional character would be named something like Gene Goodguy or Penelope PureHeart, but thankfully creators like to get creative with their character's names...kinda.

When the hero is supposed to sacrifice themselves for the good of the people they're named after Jesus, like Commander Shepard in Mass Effect or John Connor (JC) in Terminator.

Name a bad guy Shepherd and they instantly become the worst of the worst, and audiences instantly know what's going to happen. (NSFW-ish)

So how can we avoid this cookie cutter character naming convention?

Get creative and think of names that don't directly relate to the character's archetype, and by all means stop with the obvious biblical connections already!

Nothing will make you feel old like seeing new inductees into various Halls of Fame, because that doesn't happen until they've been around a long time. It's hard to believe the game Dungeons & Dragons has been around since 1974, but there it is as a new inductee into the Toy Hall of Fame.

The Hall is housed at the Strong museum in Rochester, which also has a Video Game Hall of Fame. The toy hall, which dates back to 1998, now has 62 entries. D&D was one of three inductees this year alongside Fisher Price’s Little People playsets and the humble garden swing. Inductees are selected based on having “inspired creative play and enjoyed popularity over a sustained period.”

Newman was a campy character who started out as nothing but a disembodied voice on Seinfeld but became the ultimate annoying neighbor whose allegiance was never made clear.

He was the kind of friend who would look you in the eye, smile and shake your hand while stabbing you in the back, which is what made Newman such a fun and interesting addition to an already colorful cast of characters.

But was Newman truly evil?

Uproxx conducted a scientific investigation to determine how evil Newman actually is on Seinfeld, examining seven different scenarios where Newman felt free to show his true colors.

The ultimate verdict- "So, how evil is Newman? Pretty damn evil, if you ask us."

C. Robert Cargill, cowriter of the movie Doctor Strange, Tweeted a picture of this guy's clever cosplay mashup of Doctor Strange and Stranger Things. He's got the Cloak of Levitation and the facial hair of Doctor Strange …and the Eye of Agamotto appears to be a waffle. But squint your eyes and you'll see Eleven's dress and the wall of Christmas lights from Stranger Things. -via The Daily Dot

We keep driving on down the line until our motors give out, and then we're forced to park and put away the keys for the rest of our afterlives.

But sometimes our road trip ends too early, well before our engines give out, and we find ourselves stranded by those we once loved having by our side while we drove through life.

People don't generally think of elves as being badass, especially compared to orcs or dwarves, but if the works of Tolkien, Bakshi and Henson have taught us anything it's that elves should not be underestimated.

Even elves who more closely resemble the small but magical beings from mythology can serve as powerful allies to mankind, just look at what Honeythorn Gump from Legend and Buddy the elf did for their human friends.

Okay, so Buddy isn't the best example seeing as how he isn't technically an elf.

But the rest of the elves on Gamespot's list of The 20 Most Badass Elves Of All Time are truly tough, and they don't take kindly to rude remarks about their ears.

You know what's the main problem with every single Batman movie adaptation ever?

Batman is never badass enough, because in order to create a faithful adaptation of the comic it would have to be Batman- The Movie starring Batman.

What's worse is we're constantly stuck with Batman reboots, where we get to watch Bruce begin his campaign against supervillainy all over again, which has been done to death.

But if you really want to see Batman become the god among superheroes he was meant to be you've gotta dig into the vaults and check out all the alternate versions of Batman found exclusively in the comics.

There you'll see Batman as a member of the Green Lantern Corps., a Victorian Batman hunting down Jack the Ripper, a few different versions of Vampire Batman, and the time Batman sat atop the Mobius Chair and actually became a god.

Ned Flanders hasn't inspired churchies to hit the gym and get ripped or to grow cool moustaches, but he has inspired one heavy metal band to trade in their leather jackets for sensible sweaters.

They're called Okilly Dokilly, and despite the evil sound of their songs they worship at the altar of Nedal, meaning you would mistake those guys for bible salesmen if you saw them on the street.

And even though they're from Phoenix, Arizona instead of Springfield, USA their first music video "White Wine Spritzer" will give you a taste of what it's like to live next door to The Simpsons!

People are constantly trimming off their pubic hair without a second thought, throwing it away like a pile of curly garbage even though all it wanted to do was please us and keep us warm.

We watch it fall away, toss it in the trash or flush it down the toilet, all so we look more appealing to a potential partner, but what if our ideal date was growing right under our belly buttons?

This wonderfully absurd music video for Francobollo's Wonderful EP somehow manages to turn a ball of unwanted pubic hair into an interesting character. Oh, and the song is really good too!

Something you never thought about before, but it makes perfect sense: Chewbacca had his own lines in Star Wars. While filming, Peter Mayhew spoke those lines in English to give flow to his conversations with Han Solo. But since they spoke in different languages, Chewbacca was overdubbed in Wookiee. When Mayhew posted this Tweet, the first comment was

there's something wonderful about a narked off Wookie with a Yorkshire accent, i'd have loved that in the final cut

The Walking Dead began as a faithful adaptation of the comic book series but soon went in a completely different direction thanks to budget restrictions, fan input and the logistics of creating realistic zombie hordes.

One way in which the show differs greatly from the comic is the cast of characters, and many of the most popular figures in the comic aren't featured on the show and vice versa.

Most people know the Dixon Brothers Daryl and Merle aren't even in the comics, but many of the other significant differences between the comic and TV versions will surprise you.

I don't want to give away any spoilers, but if you enjoy the TV show and/or comic and don't care about spoilers you should check out this Ranker list of The Greatest Walking Dead TV Vs Comics Differences.

It's interesting to see the differences spelled out in such a clear cut way, but it will straight up spoil some major character events.

And if you're on the fence about all things The Walking Dead I would suggest reading the comic book series before (or instead of) watching the show, because in my opinion it really is much more enjoyable overall.
