Most of the time when you ask people who their fave candidate is in the presidential debate they’re going to be all like “Barack is my man” even if they didn’t watch the debate at all. It’s all about loyalty.

Jimmy Kimmel decided to put this theory to the test by asking random streeters: “Who won last night’s debate?” The trick is, the day Kimmel asked, there was NO DEBATE the night before. Sadly, people still managed to make up answers to either save face and look smart or to give a point to their candidate of choice.

During this presidential election, Kimmel has been doing hardcore journalism.  A couple weeks ago he started a discussion group with young children whose opinions are usually overlooked. Go Kimmel!

Jimmy Kimmel pranks his fair share of kids — which is totally cruel and all — but at least he balances it out by prying into their psyche and letting them speak their mind about a traditionally more mature topic: politics. He sat down with four kids and asked them all about the presidential debate and whether Barack Obama could take Mitt Romney in a physical confrontation.

A few interesting things came out of their conversation, including the role of cotton candy and chocolate in the White House (which might have to be painted over because girls don’t like that colour) and the president’s steep salary ($350-ish a week).

Their naivete is really endearing and some of them actually make some really interesting points. However, I think the guys were a little harsh on women as presidents — we do win most of the marital household fights anyway.

It’s amazing how gullible people can be when it comes to their technology. Apple debuts a shiny, new, kickass phone and no matter WTH you’re handed you’re going to think it’s awesome. Hand said technology aficionado an old model, a completely different phone — a banana for all I care — and call it an iPhone 5, they’re going to say it’s cool.

As we all know, iPhone unveiled the new iPhone 5 in San Francisco last Wednesday. Jimmy Kimmel decided to present the new model to iPhone users on the street, with one catch — they showed off the old model and pretended it was the new one.

The phone doesn’t look too different from the soon-to-be archaic model so it’s understandable why people would get confused, but it’s still hilarious that people will go cray over any old thing, just because they’re expecting epic-ness.

I hope Jimmy Kimmel pays for all the therapy the kids he pranked will need in their future. In the past, Kimmel has challenged parents to steal their kids Halloween candy or convince them to embrace Silverstoning. Usually the kids don’t find the pranks as funny as their parents, who are probably keeled over on the ground laughing because their kid threw a fit.

This time, Kimmel told parents to gift their kids ugly back to school outfits and load their reaction on YouTube under the title “I Got My Kid a Horrible Back to School Outfit.” As we all know from the brutal days of elementary school, a poorly assembled outfit can result in a horrible school year — that’s just playground logic.

Naturally, all the kids refused to wear their outfits, except for one precious feline who looked pretty suave in a crossing guard uniform.

For all those people who fervently believe celebrities are in fact robots who don’t have any feelings, Jimmy Kimmel has a message for you. Pull up your pants, do some serious self reflection and STOP bullying people on Twitter. In fact, many celebrities do read your mean tweets and are hurt by them. If you insist on trolling because it’s in your genes or something, then at least use your real name.

Over the past little while, Kimmel has been rounding up celebrities like Justin Bieber, Kristen Stewart, Snooki, Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel, to read some of the mean tweets they received from the Twitterverse. Apparently Stewart was better as a boy and Snooki has a vagina as big as an ocean (unnecessary rumor control: neither of these are true).

Ultimately, I think it’s a good idea that Twitter and YouTube are encouraging people to buck up and use their real names so they can clean up the discourse. Here’s the test: if you wouldn’t post a comment with your real name, then it’s best no to post it at all!

So, I’m going to go ahead and add this cat cafe that Katy Perry visits in her new film Katy Perry: Part of Me to my bucket list. While in Tokyo, Perry actually PAID to have a tea party with a bunch of costumed cats sitting and running around cupcake shaped beds.

While some people (ahem, Kimmel) don’t understand the draw of cat tea parties Perry’s obsession with Japanese culture goes WAY BACK. “I’m obsessed with Japanese people,” Perry told Jimmy Kimmel.

After her usually-angelic teenage sister was banished from her family home for stealing lingerie from Macy’s, Perry’s parents accepted Japanese exchange students to live in her sister’s room for a couple months.

“I was just like AHH! Everything is Hello Kitty and it’s perfect and it’s clean and you eat with sticks!!” (I add the extra exclamation marks because of her pure excitement.) “She brought me these Hello Kitty chopsticks and I still haven’t opened them and I was like 13. I will always and forever have them.”

Fast forward more than a decade and Perry is basically an anime character who wears Hello Kitty dresses and visits quirky cat cafes with her besties. What’s not to love?

It’s a truth universally acknowledged that when NBA players attempt to act it makes you want to shut your eyes, stuff plugs in your ears and pretend you never saw the movie in the first place. Unfortunately these films don’t do very well. FINALLY professional actor Gary Oldman is speaking out against this precious cause with the help of Jimmy Kimmel.

The usually well-spoken Oldman loses his sh*t: “STAY THE F*CK OUT OF MOVIES!” He yells. “You’re not actors, some of you can’t even speak English. You suck. Get it?”

Oldman easily transitions from sane to cray in two seconds, ultimately proving that he’s an amazing actor. Can you do that Shaquille O’Neil? Huh?

There’s nothing like the gift of a glorious, surprise water spray attack for Father’s Day. It’s doubly funny because the joyous occasion is supposed to pay homage to hard-working dads everywhere — so they’re probs expecting morning breakfast or a steak barbecue, not a full-power hose in the face.

Jimmy Kimmel continued encouraging families to play pranks on each other with his newest YouTube challenge “Hey Jimmy Kimmel, I Sprayed My Dad With a Hose.”

My favourite is the dude at the end who gets sprayed on the way to work in his suit … oh wait a second, that’s Kimmel getting served.

Sage Jimmy Kimmel and Truth Fairy Guillermo hooked a makeshift lie-detector test up to an innocent seven-year-old and prodded him about the very serious things kids think about: hating school, peeing a little bit in the swimming pool and hating dogs.

It was all in the name of teaching the next generation how necessary the virtue honesty is. The questions were simple and non-confrontational at first: “what’s your name?” “how old are you?” But eventually they became more serious. Ultimately, we learn that the next generation despises school, hates dogs and treasures a lexicon of saucy profanities.

People don’t usually take comedians seriously but given the importance of the issue, Andy Samberg decided to speak up against cannibals. Samberg shared the important anti-zombie PSA with Jimmy Kimmel.

Here are Samberg’s top tips:

1) Don’t eat any people.

2) Do eat things that are not people.

3) Do make sure it’s really lobster (not a person in a lobster costume).

4) Don’t snort bath salts.

5) Denver (it’s a great city).

What if you were at work or school minding your own business, like always, then all of a sudden everyone who walks by you starts high-fiving you? It’s innocent at first. One or two friends come by and give you the up high greeting. But once it reaches five people in a row, you stat to get suspicious.

This is exactly how Jimmy Kimmel pranked his security guard Adelina. Things start to get cray cray when movie characters like Edward Scissorhands come by for a high five. She also high fives a football player, a gigantic hand and an unhygienic dude with spaghetti all over his hands. She’s too polite to reject him.

The funny part is, she just goes along with it and even starts to put her hand up high when a new person walks through the door.

Jimmy Kimmel decided to help out comic fanatics who are campaigning for more gay superheros by combining an episode of Project Runway with the Justice League. His newest episode of Kimmel Kartoons chronicles Batman offering design advice to the ever fashionable Superman…. or should I say Tim Gunn offering advice to the designer Joshua.

Unfortunately Gunn thinks the material Joshua plans on using for his new Project Runway clothing line is tacky garbage, sending him home to start from scratch. This is one superhero cartoon I might watch.

Would this qualify as the best or worst prom ever? Well, it depends on who you ask. High School students in Miami were getting ready for one of the biggest nights of their lives, but didn’t realize the location for prom was in the same building as a  porn convention.

The school hired police officers to keep the prom and Exxxotica Expo separate, though we wonder if there was any Girl Next Door action.

While a couple high schoolers and parents thought it was a shame, some of the male attendees were totally impressed. Stick around for the kid at the very end, who has an awkward giggle fit while admiring one of the porn stars.

Jimmy Kimmel reports…

We shudder. In his newest pedestrian question game Jimmy Kimmel sent his correspondent out on the street to ask the scarring question “have you ever seen your mom naked?” The segment was in honour of Mother’s Day.

Again, we shudder.

Turns out, most people have indeed seen their mother naked, though they some don’t immediately admit it. One trio from Toronto, consisting of a mom and two children, who admitted they play a game called “sexy or gross?” whenever their mom comes out of the shower. Another said he has see his mom naked and now he’s gay.

I always found Kristen Stewart’s interview style to be endearing. Despite being famous since she was a child, it seems like she hasn’t gotten used to talking about herself in interviews, punctuating most sentences with “ums” and “ahs.” This gives me hope that awkward people can be famous. Win. Plus, it’s nice that she doesn’t spew out the same media-approved spins that most famous people do.

Anyway, Stewart stopped by hobbled to Jimmy Kimmel Live! to promote her new movie Snow White and the Huntsman, which comes out on June 1. She was wearing (what else?) a dorky red sweater and sneakers and was limping because she accidentally stepped on a nail while doing a Breaking Dawn reshoot. She promised the injury wasn’t an elaborate ploy to wear flats.

Stewart talked about seeing Hologram Tupac right up close with her friends at Coachella. While she was hanging with Katy Perry (just hanging, no biggie) the popstar decided she wanted to sit up front — and you’d best know what Katy Perry wants, she gets. Kristen Stewart and Katy Perry parted the crowd like Moses to get to the coveted spot. Guess that’s a story for the grandkids.

She also said that saying goodbye to Twilight’s Bella Cullen wasn’t so hard, because she had to do it three times round after multiple reshoots — they didn’t even throw a wrap party the last time round. “I’ve done it three times,” she admitted.

Jimmy Kimmel was shocked to learn about the sex scandal involving U.S. secret service men in Columbia, so he decided to ask streeters on Hollywood Boulevard if they’ve ever exchanged money for sex.

Before the streeters answer, Kimmel paused the video so we can guess which ones have paid for sex and which ones haven’t. I’d say the audience has a 50 percent success rate though there are a couple surprises in their too.

For one thing, the audience was stumped at the French woman (French people do weird things but women don’t) and a man dressed as Darth Vader. There’s also one person who hasn’t had sex at all, but I won’t tell you who!

It’s 420! In celebration, we play the “guess who has smoked pot?” game with Jimmy Kimmel and watch a music video that will probably kill your buzz. Then we admire Jennifer Lawrence’s impressive archery skills.

420 is the holiday on which people who already get high everyday, get high again.

To celebrate the esteemed holiday, Jimmy Kimmel sent a correspondent out on the street to play a new round of their popular pedestrian guessing game.

Here are the rules: they ask each contestant whether or not they’ve ever smoked pot and you have to guess what their answer will be. It’s more difficult than you think, though a couple of them are givens, ie the guy wearing the cannabis shirt who has a join behind his ear.

We finally reveal the lucky winners of our Hot Chelle Rae video message competition and watch the band’s reaction to the heartfelt video. Then we watch bra unhooking artiste Zac Efron destroy Jimmy Kimmel in a friendly competition.

As we all know, Zac Efron is something of an accomplished bra unhooker with his masterful technique the “pinch and slide.” What I didn’t know is that Jimmy Kimmel is also skilled at the art and decided to challenge “The Lucky One” actor to a bra-unhooking duel on his show last night.

Standing in for the female forms were Guillermo 1 and Guillermo 2, each wearing four identical bras that Kimmel and Efron raced to unhook. As soon as the gun sounded, it looked like Kimmel had it. He was calm and patient while Efron fumbled with both hands. But it was the last one that caught up to Kimmel and Efron managed to take the Crown.
