Have you seen the new Cinco phone? It’s amazing.
BTW, what happened to Ed Begley Junior’s career? I’ll tell you what happened: it’s better than ever!
Bernie Mac is gone. Bernie was a unique and talented entertainer. I’m going to miss him.
One of the funniest comedy routines ever (video is not safe for work, but funny as funny gets):
This video should explain the previous post:
Be sure to watch That Mitchell and Webb Look on BBC or BBC America, don’t fast forward through the commercials, patronize all their advertisers, and then buy their DVDs. Normally I would offer a link to Amazon to where you can buy their DVDs, but never in the 12 years I’ve posted such links has anyone ever purchased an item.
Patton Oswalt (Ratatouille, King of Queens), Brian Posehn (Sarah Silverman Show), Maria Bamford and Zach Galifianakis. The Comedians of Comedy. Last show ever coming up.
George Carlin is dead. Word is a flight attendant told him to get on the plane, and he literally got on the plane, slipped off and fell to his death somewhere over Union New Jersey. Just kidding, he died of heart failure.
Carlin, counterculture comedians’ dean, dies at 71.
Wikipedia article about George Carlin.
George was always funny and entertaining, and appropriately depressing. He was also, like “one minute she’s laughing, the next minute she’s crying and that’s the end of your date” depressing. Oh well. If your date can’t make it through a Carlin special without crying — that’s a good sign of things to come…

TV Funhouse was an absolutely insane (no exaggeration) TV show created by Robert Smigel, the rotten mind behind the Saturday TV Funhouse cartoons on Saturday Night Live and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. The show featured a cast of degenerate animal puppets (Anipals), actual live animals and Your Pal Doug, and a format similar to live action kids shows like Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Rogers. Each week Doug struggled to get the animal cast to follow the format and theme of the show, but invariably the animals would sneak off to un-family friendly places like cock fights, whore houses, or Las Vegas. In the Christmas special the Anipals incapacitated Doug and made drugs from his spinal fluid — which for me pretty much summed up the insanity of the mid-late 1990s American cultural landscape in under 30 minutes.
The DVD is of the show will FINALLY be released on July 22nd. I recommend it. It’s a buy.
Peep Show E0504 is up on the YouTube, and it just keeps getting better. This episode revolves around Jeremy’s chance to inherit a small fortune (20 pounds — which he thinks will make him a millionaire), and Mark’s chance to be a war historian.
“Older people are still people, they’re just people who think when they open a new window on the computer, the previous window is disappeared for good.”
The humor is crass and offensive, but the situations are completely believable, and of course, hilarious.
Penn and Teller have been around for what, 20, 25 years? I’ve always found them entertaining, particularly Penn’s interviews.
Now Penn is doing a video blog on Crackle.com, and if you like the guy, they’re worth a listen.
Here’s his take on New York and San Francisco — the 2 most pompous cities in the world.
The Gong Show is coming back to American TV, and it will be hosted by comedian Dave Attell (not original host and CIA agent Chuck Barris). It will air on the Comedy Network, and Dave promises it will be edgier than other talent audition shows like America’s Got Talent.
This could be good news.
Here’s some classics from the old show:
Pee Wee Herman on the Gong Show:
The Unknown Comic on the Gong Show:
David Letterman on the Gong Show:
Years of listening to Shonen Knife, Cibo Matto, Puffy AmiYumi, and watching Vermilion Pleasure Night, MXC, and Morning Mesume clips have prepared me for the wonder that is Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show.
