http://www.yardbarker.com/entertainment/players/amy_poehler/87880 Recent articles about Amy Poehler en-us Patton Oswalt is having a fantastic week year. First, as the bumbling Constable Bob, he took down a mob hitman (after getting the crap kicked out of him) in arguably the best episode of Justified ever. A few days ago, he delivered beautiful and poignant commentary in the wake of the tragedy at the Boston Marathon. Fast forward to Thursday, and he’s set to guest star on Parks & Rec as a citizen at a town hall meeting. But that’s not even the best part of his appearance. NBC released an unedited clip of a lengthy filibuster where Oswalt improvises the entire plot of Star Wars: Episode VII — at least his version, that is. It’s worth a watch, especially with Amy Poehler playing along for the duration. It’s absurd and genius work from a true nerd, and one of the best comedians in the business.

Now that we have crowned the Baltimore Ravens champions, we can also close the book on the single largest advertising day of 2013. As always, the advertisements were ... interesting. There were several winners, plenty of losers and even a few that still have us scratching our head.  At an average cost of $3.8 million for 30 seconds, which companies made the most of their time and which would have been better off saving their money? Disagree with something on our list or think we made a glaring omission? Let us know in the comments.  Five Best Ads from Super Bowl 47 By: David Rogers  Overall, I thought the 2013 crop of commercials were not only pretty weak, but that they also had some of the most divisive commercials in recent memory. Very few commercials could be unanimously picked as either a winner or a loser. Over on Twitter, the @Awful_Ads feed would be filled with commentary both ridiculing and praising the same commercial.  In no par...

But they weren't the only ones. These 10 commercials were all winners in our book. Best Buy: "Ask Amy" We'd have thought this one was amusing even if it was just Amy Poehler repeatedly saying the word "dongle." But that was only one of several good lines the "Parks and Recreation" funny woman got off as she peppered the most attentive Best Buy employee ever with a series of questions. Tide: "Miracle Stain" A San Francisco fan spills nachos on his jersey only to find the resulting stain resembles 49ers legend Joe Montana. As pilgrims - aka Niners fans - flock to Montanaland to pay homage, his wife (a Ravens supporter) gets the last laugh when the offending stain is removed thanks to Tide. Kia: "Babylandia" Dad attempts to explain to his young son where babies come from (it involves - among other things -- a planet named Babylandia and baby-dispensing rocket ships).

Perhaps the Taylor Swift face will be the next to make the internet rounds. She was very unimpressed by Adele beating her out for a Golden Globes award; here’s the reaction that the camera caught. She also got slammed by co-hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. from Perez Hilton (where you can watch the video) Thank you Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Thank you for saying everything we’ve been thinking all night! LOLz! After losing the Globe for “Best Actress in a TV Comedy,” the diabolical duo decided to get (pretend) drunk and talk some serious shiz.

You remember the one -- the one shortly before Brett Hull retired with the Phoenix Coyotes. No, no, no. Seriously. He was with the 'Yotes, remember? Here:     Told you he played for them. Anyways, Hullie made a stop over at Weekend Update to give Amy Poehler the inside scoop on the lockout.
