Humor for Hockey Fans

This is funny only if you're a hockey fan. Actually, if you're a hockey fan, it's probably not funny because it hits a little too close to home.

Plight Of Missing Hikers Will Make Great Movie

I wish I could take credit for this, but...



Plight Of Missing Hikers Will Make Great Movie

[Television] I find this tv...acceptable

My new favorite TV show-- Acceptable.tv

The above video is just one of nearly two dozen similarly brilliant short videos made for this new show.

It's a filmed-comedy-sketch show that premieres on VH1 every Friday night (9Central) and replays numerous times throughout the week and is also available on their website, acceptable.tv (it's just acceptable.tv, no dot com) What makes this show particularly interesting to me is that it's attempting to wrangle this viral video phase the world is going through and bring some order to it.

The premise of the show is that each week, they debut five short "pilots" for new continuing sketches, each one about two and a half minutes long. Of those, you can go to the website and vote for the two you like best, and new episodes of those will be filmed for the next week's episode.

These 'official' pilots are produced by the Acceptable.tv repertory company, but each week, they play one user-submitted video, also voted on by the website visitors (actually, you have to be a registered member to vote... it's free though).

It's a really neat concept, and so far I'm loving it. Of the skits that the official group have produced, I've really liked almost all of them. In fact, out of 21 current skits, there are only two that I'm lukewarm on.

The people behind this show are executive producer Jack Black, and the group from Channel101, the people that have been doing stuff like this before they started getting financed by VH1/Viacom. Previous Channel101 alums are the Lonely Island guys, of which three of them are now SNL writers/performers. They're living the dream all us video producers nurture.

I could tell you about the funniest videos, but thanks to embeddable flash video, I can just show you. There's a bunch of them, and they are all funny. Enjoy. And if you like these, there are many, many more at the official website.

[ blogarati bulletin ] Yet Another Blogger Fooled by Fake News Story

That's right, another blogger gets caught in the fake news web, this time, niche blogger, Corey Bond, author of a Simpsons cartoon blog. His earnestness about posting this blog is matched only by his apparent ability to cut and paste news articles with the best of them.

In this new era of Truthiness-awarenessness, this comes as yet another black mark against the liberal humor media's loose interest in the truth. Who knows how far and wide this continuation of the mistruthiness will extend? Will this indeed cause legitimate Allah-fearing terrorists to now add Mr. Bond to their fatwahs? And by extension, will that list also now include me? Is it okay to even type the word 'fatwah' anymore? I don't know.

But what I do know is that Corey Bond has been PUNK'D by Australia!

[ humor alert ] Filliam H. Muffman

I've enjoyed The Colbert Report immensely up until now, but this past Thursday, they finally took it over the top for me and made it something I'll have to watch every day, for fear of missing the next big funny thing. Case in point: Filliam H. Muffman.

The sketch was a rather innocuous little thing called "Stephen's Laws of Love", using celebrity couples idiosyncrasies as the basis for forming successful relationships. They brought the funny when they demonstrated that you have to have a great marketable name by combining your names. Examples used were Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, "Brangelina". Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, "Bennifer II". And William H. Macy and Felicity Huffman, "Filliam H. Muffman".

I died laughing, and it was the first time I saw Stephen Colbert lose it on the show. He barely made it through the segment. I can't think of the name without laughing, and I certainly still have a hard time saying it. Go ahead. Try it out. Let the name roll off your tongue.

I know I can't wait to follow along on the splendiferous adventures of Filliam H. Muffman.

Actually, I'll be curious to see if this gets picked up in real conversation. The people that write the news watch the Colbert Report, and I know I'D try to work the name in somewhere.

[ humor alert ] That Wasn't Chicken

This is funny because a few years ago, I printed out a whole page of fake fortunes (about fifty) that I would swap out whenever I would go to a Chinese Restaurant with someone. While everyone was cracking open their cookie, I would nonchalantly get a fake one out of my wallet and make the switch under the table. No one ever noticed.

I had specific ones made for just about anyone that I thought I might ever have lunch with, and it was always good for a laugh.

Anyway, "That wasn't chicken" was one of the ones I printed out multiple times. And lo and behold, someone else thought of the same thing.

And now you know...

[ humor alert ] "Lost" pictures

I found this amusing blog while noodling around on The Fuselage, "Lost's" officially sanctioned message board. The first picture in this series (Hurley's head on a mutant body-builder's body) isn't that clever, but about five or ten down, you start getting some really wacky, amusing pics like the one shown here.

[ tv spoiler ] Leaked script segment from upcoming episode of LOST

For those of you that watch Lost, you're well aware of the impending war set to take place on Craphole Island. The following script segment was sent to me by someone I have on the inside.
The following is a more or less verbatim transcript from the upcoming episode right as the Lostaways are preparing for imminent battle.

Jack

Okay... I know I don't have to tell any of you just how dangerous this is going to be. If any of you choose to back out, we won't hold it against you.

[Jack glances over at a Lostaway we haven't met before wearing a bright red shirt. This is Gus. Gus nods grimly, but firmly. He's in. With a softer expression, Jack's gaze moves over to Rose, who's brandishing a rifle. She pats her gun, and then pats the large knife strapped to her leg under her comfortable slacks. She's ready.]

Jack

Alright. So here's what we're up against. These are the Others. We call them that because, well, because they're not US. And if you're not with us, you're against us.

Unnamed male Lostaway

How will we know it's one of the Others, and not just someone we don't know really well. I mean, until today, I'd never seen that guy over there. [points at Gus].

Unnamed female Lostaway

Yeah... [pointing at an older man wearing a red parka]... that guy's an Eskimo. We've been on this island nearly two months, and I didn't know we had an Eskimo living with us.

Hurley

You mean Metek? You didn't know about Metek? He wasn't on the plane. He was tracking a polar bear in Alaska or somewhere and ended up here and says now he can't get back.

[Metek nods solemnly and begins gesturing animatedly with his handmade spear and speaking pointedly in his Eskimo language. It's not revealed what he says, but his meaning is clear. He wants to get back at the Others]

Sawyer

Okay, quiet down Santa. You'll get your crack at them... [under his breath] but not until after I've had a little chat with ole Zeke...

Locke

There is an easy way to distinguish the Others with a capital O from the others with a lower case O. The Others will be dramatically lit from below, making them look more evil.

Charlie

What about Ethan? He wasn't lit from below...

Locke

Ethan was a spy, and had his lighting adjusted accordingly.

Claire
[while leaning over Aaron and putting camo face paint on his face and body.]

What do we do if we see something we've never seen before or meet someone that might be able to help us? Should we ask them some questions?

Jack

Questions? What do you mean?

Locke

The time for questions is conveniently past us. Now is the time for action.

Jack

Okay, now Mr. Eko is going to let us in on some special intelligence he's acquired from his time on the other side of the island. Mr. Eko?

Eko

Thank you. I killed some Others with my bare hands. I'd rather not talk about it. Thank you. [sits down]

Jack

Okay, there are two special Others that you need to be especially wary of. One of them is apparently carrying a teddy bear and is considered highly dangerous. Shoot to kill, repeat, SHOOT TO KILL. The other Other is a more terrifying prospect. It can apparently change size at will, especially if it senses danger. Do not engage in combat with this Other without backup support.

Desmond

What do we do with the prisoners, brutha?

Locke

That's kind of a silly question, isn't it?

Jack

Prisoners? This is WAR. There won't be any prisoners. Prisoners lead to questions. And questions lead to answers. And that's the last thing we want. Now you all have your assignments. Good luck.
