Comics to tickle your funny bone...or any other bone you want tickled!

My apologies to The Animal Humane Society and other pet adoption agencies for this one! They do great work! This one just popped into my evil head so...well... its just a joke!

One of my favorite comic strips is Red Meat by Max Cannon-this comic has the raw(pardon the pun) dark kind of humor I really like! One of my favorite characters is Milkman Dan. Here he is doing what he does best!

Another one of my favorite comics is PS Muellers strip:

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)

Speaking of Robert Smigel, i have been wanting to post some Triumph clips! Next time i post i will have some!

Here is the Riverdance Rap:

Man, its hard to believe that people were pitching cigarettes as healthy back in the day!

Happy Belated Father's Day! Magical comedy and some real standup guys

Hi everyone! Happy belated Father's Day! Hope all you fathers out there had a great day! It was a pretty good day-went out to eat and and then spent some time with my family. It was bittersweet because i lost my father almost exactly 2 years ago. He was a great person who taught me a whole lot and one of those things was to have a good sense of humor. If you can't laugh at least a little in this life, then you will be very unhappy. Here's some things to hopefully help you laugh a little.
I came across this clip a little while back and i think to get the full effect of the humor in this, you had to have seen a (real) David Blaine clip. Check a "real" David Blaine clip out on You Tube and then check this one out!

I'll post Part 2 of this David Blane stuff next time! I've always liked this next comedian! Brian Regan is one of my favorite comedians! His head-bobbing delivery, complete with patented silly voices, and his great everyday life observations are some of the best comedy around!

This next and last clip has been around for a while in various incarnations. Pablo Francisco can be very funny! His sound effects alone are incredible! He has a large repertoire of voices that he uses to great comedic effect. Sorry for the subtitles in this clip if they are a little disconcerting, but this clip's overall quality is good and it seems that he has refined this bit about the movie preview guy well compared to older clips i have seen him doing this material in.

Here is another comic strip, kinda going along with the other one i made about the poetry slam idea. Guess I'm stuck on poems right now!

Stupid Comics for smart people

I am thinking that I might slow down a little on the frequency of my posting stuff and maybe try for having more stuff for you for one posting than posting every day or so. I will try to post probably every weekend. Its hard to try to find unique funny clips, and comics that people will enjoy without devoting a huge amount of time to it. My wife and son need my time first so this is what I am going to do.
Here are some of my own comics. Hope you like them.

Don't mess with the South/Phony phone conversations

I have always wondered what would happen if someone did this! Now I know!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2syY12OPkwI

I was just surfing the web one day a while back and came across a link for this comedian, Eugene Mirman. On his site, he had some audio of some great phone conversations he had with an anti-gay long-distance calling provider trying to get him to change to their company. He had great fun with several of their company's representatives. I just thought about this guy recently and thought you might like hearing these.
Mirman recently took the Mp3's off his site-they are now just streaming type clips. (damn! shoulda downloaded them when I had the chance!!)
Anyway, here is a link (scroll down to "Phone Calls"-they're the first 3 clips) to where the sound clips are-all 3 of them, and Youtube "clips." These clips were made by a guy named Johnxrox http://www.youtube.com/user/Johnxrox -who thinks very highly of Eugene-just as I do. Check out his channel he can make videos for you and he has some funny clips! These clips are well done and just the thing for you- just in case you wanna look at Eugene while you laugh your ass off!

Thoughts about the PC/Mac War, Unions and other ramblings

Hope you all are having a good start to the work week! Here's some stuff to help you get through the beginning of the week with some laughs!
There is and always has been disagreement about what is better: a Mac or a PC. This funny little clip goes right to the source of the Mac and PC "war"!

An old parody of an AFSCME union PSA: (this one has a lot of harsh language!)

One of my favorite cartoonists is Dan Piraro. I will try to link to the Bizarro site once in a while to show a comic like this one.

Here is a link to the Perry Bible Fellowship site done by Nicholas Gurewitch. You can find some great comics there!

Hope you enjoy this stuff! See you in a bit!

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!
