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.
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.
Cartoon Dump (cartoondump.com) is a sketch comedy troop that use spandex, song and old cartoons to delight audiences on stage and on the interweb. The troop features Frank Conniff from Mystery Science Theater.

They are “100% Aluminum, Manufactured in Milwaukee:A City Known For Its Very High Strength-to-Weight Ratio”.

B3ta has been an oasis of Monty Python style animation for some time. Classic examples include Jada and the Moon Song.
One of the stars of this type of animation is a cat named Cyriak. I came across this compilation of his animation today — it’s crazy and quite amusing.

(What do you call something that you perceive as being clever in a humorous way, but doesn’t actually make you laugh out loud? There has got to be a long German word for that. Clevereabernichtsehrlustig?)
Maria Bamford cracks me up (and therefore is not boring) and her song Dark had me a laughin’.
