Taking care of some business

If you're interested in purchasing some beaded, or charm-type jewelry for the holiday season, please check out my wife's site http://www.lucindascharms.etsy.com She has some pretty good deals on some great stuff!


Found a pretty good comedy "troupe" on YT. Landline TV. Here's a few of their clips:

Super Comedy!

When I was a youngster, I used to stay up late and watch the Late Night with David Letterman with my parents once in a while. I liked a lot of the skits and guests that they had on the show. One of my favorite guests was Super Dave Osborne, the deadpan stuntman whose stunts were less exciting feats of precision and daring, and more often hilarious tragedies! I couldn't find any of these clips on YT until just recently, and I am glad I at least found a few! Geez-I didn't know that "Osbourne's" brother is Albert Brooks! I like Albert Brooks a lot also! And I didn't know that their real names are Albert and Bob Einstein!



I tried to find more of his inane stunts but couldn't find them. I also thought his interviews on Late Night with DL were pretty good-couldn't find any! Here is a "non-stunt" clip that is kinda funny.




Have you ever gone to a thriller type of movie and, because it tries to be "twisty" and surprising, the storyline is shot to hell!? The plot? What plot?! I swear sometimes a movie can have so many plot twists and turns that you end up more confused and pissed off that you just spent a good chunk of change on admission on the crap you can't believe you just spent the good chunk of change on! This little sketch satirizes that kind of thriller's plot pretty good! I've posted some of these guy's skits before-Derrick Comedy with (Special Agent) "Tom Rogers Must Get His Daughter Back"



* Next post I will have more excerpts of Jerome Corsi's Obama Nation book!

Saturday Night Live bright spots/assorted mish-mash

Happy Saturday! Hope you all have had a great start to the weekend!
For this week's posts, I would like to focus on Saturday Night Live. I just came across a fairly recent clip from the show, the "Penelope" skit, and thought it was pretty funny.(I am posting a link to both of the Penelope clips below)
I, like many other people have lost interest in SNL over the years. I don't stay up to watch it anymore, even with a few bright spots like Will Ferrell and some of the female comics like Kristin Whig (who does the Penelope skits) Maya Rudolph, and Amy Poehler, that have seemed to invigorate the show in recent years. I remember as a teenager staying up late to watch the show and seeing Eddie Murphy, John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd, and John Belushi, etc. make me laugh my head off! I think part of the problem with the show in the later years, was that they would draw out some of these skits each week so that they were not funny after the 10th time. I hope they don't do more "Penelope" skits. That sketch isn't thick enough to draw out much more than 2 -3 times.

"Penelope" (*I updated this link-The others were taken down-I guess NBC is cracking down because of the copyright issues, so laugh while you can at this remaining "copy"

I thought Maya Rudolph and Amy Poehler were hilarious in this satire about America's Next Top Model show!

David Blaine Street Magic parody Part 2:




I have always loved Robert Smigel's TV Funhouse animations: Here is one that parodies the Dora cartoons! (the humor is lost if you haven't sat down with your little ones when they are watching Dora)

Hey kids! Make your own damn comics! Then check out the comedians!

Hey guys! Hope you all had a great weekend! I am trying something new. I trying to make my own comic strips. Its something i have always wanted to do, but since i am not even a mediocre artist, it never worked out! I have posted a few strips that i created with a really neat site called http://www.stripcreator.com/. There you can easily make up your own stupid strips, just like i have done!

Here are a few more clips that i think you might enjoy. The first is from the Dave Chappelle show in which he hilariously plays a blind, black, white racist! (!)
Dave Chapelle - Black White Supremacist Clip » RealVideoSite.com

I thought that this little clip of an overzealous Paris Hilton fan (or was it a prankster-couldn't tell!) was funny. The crowds' admonishment towards him and the defense attorney's non-plussed demeanor is priceless!


Some classic Richard Pryor about the time him and Gene Wilder filmed Stir Crazy in the Arizona State Penitentiary!




A classic Ellen Degeneres standup clip:


I gotta have more cowbell! SNL BOC sketch.

Auto dealership ads on TV are so annoying! They always yell at you and say stupid things, then expect you to want to go their dealership and buy an overpriced car or truck. Well @$##%# them! This clip is a perfect satire of those ads. It has lots of adult language and its pretty crude so be warned!

George and the Juiceman

Here are a couple new posts from two comedians that can be very funny! First, is a George Lopez clip where he discusses the different discipline styles of white and Mexican-American parents.


Here is a great clip of Jim Carrey (from In Living Color) doing the Juiceman in "Juicemania"
