Share Watch The Whole Show RIP To A Great Talent Y’all know I love me some Patrice O’Neal. I’ve posted his material before. I fell in love with comedy of Patrice O’Neal watching him on the Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen, and from then on, I was a fan. This video is about a [...]
SharePodcast SMODCast With Kevin Smith and Jon Lovitz I am a simple man. When I go to sleep, I always listen to my iPhone. It’s usually the same. Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Robert Anton Wilson, or Joseph Campbell. All good stuff with deep wisdom. I have added Jon Lovitz to that hallowed canon, albeit for [...]
ShareOh, Brian! Brian! Brian! Definitely NSFW Well, NSFW for you maybe. At my job this would be more like a taste of sherbet to cleanse the palate between courses of manifold deviance. Anyhoo, I had never heard of Nikki Payne until I saw this video on a popular social network. I thought it would be [...]
ShareJew Vill Ski! Jew Vill Not Ski! Jew Vill Watch! I remember watching this when it first aired on HBO, back in the early 80′s. I was living in Bedford, NH and one funny night in 1983 (I looked it up) Buddy Hackett made me laugh my ass off. He joked about homosexuals, and nazis, [...]
ShareThe Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the largest arts festival in the world. I didn’t know that, nor did I think Scots had a sense of humor in the usual sense. My idea of Scottish humor is more like this: A Scotsman walking through a field, sees a man drinking water from a pool with his [...]
ShareBo Burhnam Is Funny Kind Of A Dick I just watched Bo Burnham on Netflix. He is a funny, intelligent, almost Asberger-y, young comic. Henny Youngman meets the Rain Man. It’s good stuff. This is his Sonnet 155. It was shot on cameraphone in good old Portland, Oregon in 2009. The first 3 minutes are [...]
ShareIf you like this blog and haven’t watched Archer yet, prepare to be delighted. H Jon Benjamin doesn’t look like his voice, so we should hate him. He has one voice so the convenience store manager on Family Guy, and Bob, from Bob’s Burgers, all have the same voice. So we should hate him. I [...]
Share “I’m not a vampire! I’m a driving instructor from Johannesburg!” As a child of the 80′s, I grew up with MTV. At night, MTV would show the British comedy, The Young Ones, and it was good. Fucking hilarious, actually. This video, featuring the Damned (coolest band name ever!) and a vampire who was mailed [...]
ShareI have something wonderful, Youdopia! I have about nine minutes of perfectly written, and executed comedy. Mel Brooks ‘History of the World Part One is one of the funniest films ever made. I’ve written of it before. It is supernal in its excellence. Please enjoy this little fractal of perfection. Every time you hear the [...]
Share I miss Drawn Together. It made me laugh, often. I understand why it was canceled. Not everyone in America shares my dark, vile, racist, misogynist, heretical, irreverent tastes. It’s all good, Youdopia. It’s all good. Comedy Central has released (on 4/20, har dee har har) a Drawn Together movie, which I will legally purchase, [...]
Share Much as I have done to her with Led Zeppelin, Kiki has done the same to me, only with Coldplay. After years of being innundated/saturated with Coldplay… I started to like them. Now I like them on my own, but I would probably never listen to them again without the influence of my beloved [...]
Share This six minutes changed my life when it aired in 1985 (I think). I was a high school kid, just discovered Hunter Thompson, and Led Zeppelin. This is still hilarious. What got me back then, was the taboo aspect. The intensity, the misogyny, the heresy, the drug humor, and (underneath it all) the outrage. [...]
