Flight of the Conchords
June 19, 2007 at 12:39 am | Posted in Comedy, Movies, TV News | 1 CommentFor those who didn’t catch HBO’s new series Flight of the Conchords on Sunday, you can watch the whole premiere here. Act soon, since HBO will take the video down after a week or so. The show is weirdly charming, kind of like Napoleon Dynamite meets Extras meets, well, New Zealand. (But with music.) Below, you can watch one of their songs from the first episode, cheerfully entitled The Humans Are Dead.
The guy on the left has an indie film coming out called Eagle vs. Shark, which looks even more Napoleon Dynamite-y. Check out the trailer here.
George Michael gets pissy

Zach don’t dance
May 17, 2007 at 6:39 pm | Posted in Comedy, TV News | Leave a commentAfter today’s awful Veronica Mars news, I needed a little cheering up. The Cold Stone ice cream helped, but the below video really did the trick. The setup: comic Zach Galifianakis goes to a taping of Ellen.
Conan O’Brien presents Artie Kendall

Best Conan O’Brien skit ever! More Artie Kendall lyrics and links here.
Prepare your mind … for a mind explosion
May 7, 2007 at 1:34 pm | Posted in Comedy, TV News | Leave a commentI’ve got lots of love for Rob Huebel (Inconsiderate Cellphone Man!), so I don’t know how I missed that he got his own show — Human Giant on MTV. Here’s one of the sketches, mocking Criss Angel Mindfreak:
Paul Rudd’s such a drama queen
March 30, 2007 at 11:38 pm | Posted in Comedy, Gossip | Leave a commentEver watch those clips of Lily Tomlin and David O. Russell screaming at each other on the set of I Heart Huckabees? Pretty sweet, I know.
Anyway, I’m pretty gullible, so at first I thought this video of Paul Rudd and Michael Showalter was real. I should’ve been more savvy: for one thing, it’s the second Lily Tomlin clip almost verbatim, for another, like Paul Rudd’s really gonna do television now that his Will Ferrell-sidekick career has kicked into overdrive. Still, Paul Rudd’s such a good actor … I didn’t figure it out until Showalter started talking.
Who all seen the leprechaun, say yeah!
December 22, 2006 at 10:57 am | Posted in Comedy | 1 CommentThis is several months old, but I had to share this little piece of local news heaven:
The leprechaun has just replaced “the whistle goes woo!” as my favorite YouTube clip ever.
George Michael Bluth has a really good agent
November 28, 2006 at 4:45 pm | Posted in Comedy, TV News | 1 CommentArrested Development‘s Michael Cera stays really busy. When he’s not filming one of his many upcoming movies, he and his friend Clark make funny videos and post it on their MySpace page. Now, CBS has offered the boys a development deal to make content for their Innertube web channel.
He’s only EIGHTEEN. He should be out screwing up his life with Lindsay Lohan and the gang, not making business deals! Such a wunderkind.
Scrubs is back! Scrubs is back!
October 27, 2006 at 1:56 am | Posted in Comedy, TV News | Leave a commentOr at least, it will be. On November 30th, NBC is redoing their Thursday lineup to look a little something like this:
8:00 pm — My Name Is Earl
8:30 pm — The Office
9:00 pm — Scrubs
9:30 pm — 30 Rock
I’m glad that they’re continuing to give 30 Rock a chance, because I really think that show has room to grow.
Mark your calendars!
Battlestar Dunder Mifflin
October 24, 2006 at 6:31 pm | Posted in Battlestar Galactica, Comedy, TV News | Leave a commentI just caught Friday’s Battlestar Galactica episode, and all I can say is: whoa. Wait, I have another thing to say: President Roslin was an IDIOT for not killing that baby when she had the chance. It sounds pretty heartless, but it’s true.
If Cylons ever invaded The Office, it would probably look a little something like this:
Here they go again

David Brent is back
August 20, 2006 at 9:13 pm | Posted in Comedy, TV News | Leave a commentThe U.S. version of The Office actually turned out to be pretty good … but there’s no beating the U.K. version. Incredibly, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant have revived David Brent (the U.K.’s Michael Scott) for a couple of hilarious Microsoft training videos (total oxymoron, I know). Watch here. I guess it’s kind of selling out, but man, I bet they got paid so much for doing these. Everybody’s gotta eat!
The 4-Year-Old pulls a Mel Gibson
August 4, 2006 at 10:59 pm | Posted in Comedy, Uncategorized | 1 CommentMcSweeney’s Internet Tendency (run by Dave Eggers) is pretty hilarious, and I recommend it. My favorite recurring column there, by far, is The 4-Year-Old, who goes to work, goes on blind dates, and goes to anger management.
Anyway, the latest one is The 4-Year-Old Is Busted for DUI, and I think all those who find this site by searching “Mel Gibson jokes” will appreciate it.
By the way, this is my favorite Mel Gibson prank so far.
Heat Vision and Jack: what might have been
July 30, 2006 at 1:32 am | Posted in Comedy, Movies, TV News, Veronica Mars | Leave a commentThis whole “downloading TV on iTunes” thing is pretty trendy, and I’ll admit, pretty sweet. Remember last week, when everyone was all hyped up about the never-aired Aquaman pilot? That was an exciting time. Here’s the thing, though: we have not fully tapped the TV-on-iTunes potential. For one thing, Veronica Mars isn’t available. For another, if we’d ALREADY reached the TV-on-iTunes zenith, we’d be able to download what would have been the best show of 1999, had it ever aired … I now present Heat Vision and Jack, starring Jack Black and Owen Wilson, with introduction by Ben Stiller:
Incredible, right? I guess there’s no point in wishing that this show will be revived, but at least put it on iTunes! And Mr. Stiller, I’d definitely pay my hard-earned money to see Heat Vision and Jack: The Movie. I’m just sayin’.
You booze, you lose … except when you win

For more of that (and for a little sneak preview on how I’ll be spending this evening), here’s Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell:
