It's Funny, laugh
# Posted by Joel Dixon at 10/10/2007 05:30:36Updated by Joel Dixon at 19/02/2009 22:56:57 - fixed dead links
Some of the videos in this post contain profanities
You may have noticed that I've changed my generic subtitle line from "I still doubt that I will post here much" to my original intention of random quotes. They're not so random at the moment, as there's about 40 in total - and they've been selected from the limited source of The Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy and some Saturday Night Live sketches.
If you've yet to experience Saturday Night Live's Celebrity Jeopardy, I highly recommend you legally purchase all of the videos, and laugh hysterically. Here's a YouTube compilation video that explains the concept and fits in most of the favourite jokes (except for my personal favourite):
Celebrity Jeopardy!
In another seamless segue, Jeopardy also features in one of my all-time favorite Jerky Boys prank calls (of which there is a lot) - Testing for Jeopardy:
Testing for Jeopardy!
I got into the Jerky Boys during high school, when some friends and I stumbled on the universally-panned feature movie The Jerky Boys. The movie may have been pretty bad, but we loved it. When we found out that they had better stuff on CD - we loved that even more. As soon as I get some extra time I will be adding some Jerky Boys quotes to the site.
Another part-time prank caller (very weak link, I know) is Matt Besser from the Upright Citizens Brigade. A friend from work put me onto the Upright Citizen's Brigade, an improv comedy group originating in Chicago in the early 90's. I'm more familiar with the three seasons of television that they created (based on sketches from the live show) - of which season two is on sale now. UCB is hit-and-miss comedy, so some cause a bit of head-scratching. But these two don't (or maybe they do):
Little Donny
Part 2 and Part 3
Little Donny is a child that has the disability of being unaware of his enormous penis. This video is The Little Donny Foundation's version of a "" style song. The people on the street were asked to sing "enormous peanuts", and the reason Donny is crying in the end is because Tuvok was unable to find his way home in Star Trek.
Astronauts
UCB also have an irrational hatred of astronauts
The UCB crew also founded a Theatre which plays host to a number of improv and sketch comedy groups, including some of the members from Derrick Comedy. Derrick Comedy aren't enormously popular, and are also very hit-and-miss, but I find most of the videos on their site amusing. They've also done a few "rejected TV theme songs".
Mafia
Keyboard Kid
Stick with it - gets funnier after a minute or so
Daughters
There's also some less tasteful ones - so I won't embed them - but provide links (don't say I didn't warn you). Of course, I find the distasteful ones some of the funniest:
Memory Loss - A slightly different version of Memento!
Bad BJ Girl - she's got it a little wrong
Bro Rape - a special report on "Bro Rape"
The Cool Breeze - not necessarily distasteful - but I figured it wasn't worth an embedding
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Theme - Again, not disturbing - but weird!
I think I've linked enough of the clips - if you still don't like their comedy - I doubt I can persuade you! Enjoy (I hope).

If only the mafia head's response to having his eye burned with the 'capo di tutti capi''s cigar could be repeated on a child-friendly website! In other news..Cam Ward is like a brick wall # Posted - 10/10/2007 11:50:48 |

Dude - http://youtube.com/watch?v=32-W8M33oGE Go to 2:48  "" Did you see the game? Nice pass from Malkin for our goal - he's been pretty solid so far. I'll be watching the Montreal game tomorrow - first chance to see Kovy in a game for a while. # Posted - 10/10/2007 13:04:55 |

Nah, haven't seen that game, but he CAR won 7-1 today over Toronto, who would have been fired up after the Jason Blake cancer announcement. If MAF can get to his level consistently we will be fine. # Posted - 10/10/2007 14:25:13 |

Shiz - 7-1 over Toronto (who aren't terrible this year - for them). I'm glad we only lost 4-1! And yeah - that cancer thing was a bit of a scare - lucky he can still play (he seemed to play well with Sundin in the first game) BTW - I assigned all of your posts to your new username (I like the username!). Let me know if I missed any. And edit your profile to add an avatar image. I can think of so many that would suit you! # Posted - 10/10/2007 15:25:57 |

Me and a friend once tried to purchase buckfutter.com but it was taken... I wonder how that guy got it. We would have done essentially the same thing with the domain if we got it... clip of the buck futter show, and a "holy shit, I can't believe we got this domain" message. # Posted - 10/10/2007 19:19:46 |

I like their by-line - ""! By the way - that is the coolest avatar animation I've seen! I've actually got a list of things-to-do for this site, and testing the upload of animated images is one of them. Thanks for ticking that one off for me  # Posted - 10/10/2007 23:46:12 |

Thanks for the heads-up Hitman - a guy from uni was talking about Newstopia as well. I thought it premiered a few days ago? All I can see on the website is a thirty-second clip (which still wasn't too bad - "Here's your news ... lick it!"). Are you able to watch the first episode from that site? Wikipedia lists Matt Cameron, Doug MacLeod, Dave O'Neil, Tony "Guido Hatsis" Moclair and Richard Marslander as contributors - pretty good bunch for an SBS show. # Posted - 12/10/2007 09:43:45 |

Newstopia Hi Joel, You should be able to watch Newstopia from the URL provided. Definately worth it. "What interview? This has become a monologue." "This is Chris Walken reporting" And "Digitally created slowness" Some of the material is absolute gold. # Posted - 13/10/2007 15:22:40 |

Nope, I'm still getting nothing but a 30 second promo. I assume it's because I'm coming from a Canadian IP address. I've emailed them to find out. Oh well - guess I'll just download it - until it comes out on DVD. Did Shaun do his Chris Walken impression? He does a really good one - and used to do "Winter Gardening Tips with Christopher Walken" for Vega every so often. # Posted - 14/10/2007 09:05:32 Last Edited - 14/10/2007 11:46:48 |

Yeah, Micallef does a great Walken impression and he pulls it off again here. # Posted - 14/10/2007 09:46:26 Last Edited - 14/10/2007 09:47:44 |
