Josh Blue is One Funny Cripple!

December 7, 2009 By 4 Comments

Josh BlueGood lord. Don’t get your panties all up in a wad. I’m not making fun of Josh Blue. He doesn’t need my help with that!

For those of you who don’t know it, I guess Josh is the most popular comic of all time with Cerebral Palsy. And he’s living proof that all that whining and all those excuses people make about whatever they think is holding them back is complete BS!

I absolutely LOVE this guy. Not only is he funny as hell, but he plays for the men’s US Paralympic soccer team! And even if those guys did get their asses handed to them it doesn’t really matter since Josh took home the gold when he won season 4 of Last Comic Standing!

Smirnoff Tea Partay and the Green Tea Partay Response!

November 20, 2009 By 1 Comment

Tea PartayYo. Terry G. (the G stands for Gangsta) hooked a brother up with a link to this hardcore rap video called Tea Partay. As soon as I filled my ear holes with the lyrical goodness I knew I had to share it with all my Bitches.

These videos were created as advertisements for Smirnoff, and after getting over 5 million views I’d have to say they did their job quite nicely! By the way, I’ll pay $10,000 to anyone who creates a Rap video for Woopra that goes viral like this! (100% serious!) :-)

My Entry for Kyle Cease’s Stand Up Comedy Bootcamp

September 25, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Standup-BootcampSo, one of my favorite comedians, Kyle Cease, is having a course where they teach standup comedy to new and aspiring… um, comedians. Make no mistake about it, I NEVER want to be a comedian. Ever.

But I would like to go hang with Kyle and the rest of the folks and just experience what is going on there? Who knows? I might even do some stupid shit and give a few comedians some free material. One can never tell.

Anyway, Kyle asked people to answer a few questions so that he could choose to give one person a free pass to bootcamp. And I decided to answer just for fun! But since there are like 100+ entries (plus who knows if mine actually gets approved!) I figured I’d share my submission here for you guys to tell me how I did. :-)

The Amazing Hypnotic Powers of Kenny Craig, My Hero

August 6, 2009 By 4 Comments

Kenny Craig HypnotistIf I could have only one wish, it would be that I would be able to hypnotize people just like Kenny Craig here.

Apparently this is from a sketch comedy show called Little Britain. I notice that Kenny here happens to be one of the stars of a new Comedy Central show called Krod Mandoon.

Anyway, you are getting very, very sleepy. Look into my eyes, my eyes… not around my eyes…. Now, watch this video.

A Random Collection of My Favorite Comedians

March 13, 2008 By 7 Comments

Stephen LynchHi. My name is John, and I’m a comedy-oholic. They say that the first step to recovery is admitting you’ve got a problem. Well, I am completely addicted to Comedy Central Presents, a series of 30 minute specials of just about every comedian you can imagine. And I’ve seen them ALL!

Just to be clear, I don’t just watch Comedy Central at home. I also have XM satellite radio in my car and I listen to the comedy channel when I’m driving around! Now, you’d think all this exposure to comedy would mean some of it would rub off on me. WRONG! Nothing funny about me. But I have developed a keen sense of picking out the best and brightest, and here is a small collection of some of my favorites.

The Genius that is Steve Martin

February 15, 2008 By 11 Comments

Steve MartinFolks, everyone knows Steve Martin, and most of us love him (screw you buddy, if you don’t!). But I bet you had no idea how wide ranging his talents are. Luckily, I’m going to show you right now!

Martin’s comedy career began when he started writing material for other people. Initially he landed a job writing for The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, and ended up winning an Emmy Award in 1969. After writing for John Denver, Glen Campbell and Sonny and Cher, he later earned another Emmy nomination for VanDyke and Company.

Martin has also written two novellas, Shopgirl and The Pleasure of My Company. When asked in an interview about his novella, Steve said:

I wrote a novel this year called ‘Shop Girl,’ and several producers came to me and wanted to turn it into a movie. And I said, “If you think you’re going to take this book and change it around, and Hollywoodize it and change the ending… that’s going to cost you.

Oh, and as we all know he was also a star on Saturday Night Live, and he’s been in about 2,000 movies. However, keep reading and we’ll go over a whole list of stuff you did NOT know about Steve Martin.

Mitch Hedberg – Serious Comedian

January 23, 2008 By 8 Comments

Mitch HedbergMitch Hedberg was one of my favorite comedians. He had a really dry sense of humor and was absolutely brilliant when it came to one liners. For example:

I like escalators because an escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You’ll never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.

Both his jokes, and his delivery are unique and he cracked me up. Unfortunately he died in 2005 (of a drug overdose), so we won’t be getting any more of his comedic genius.

These two videos are from a special that was recorded for Comedy Central. I’m sure they are in violation of some sort of terms on YouTube, so don’t be surprised if they don’t stay up long. In the meantime, enjoy them while they are around!

This Guy is Way More Musical Than You

January 4, 2008 By 3 Comments

Reggie WattsReggie Watts is a musical genius. Seriously, watch what this guy does with a little digital recorder hooked up to an audio system. Is it just me or is there anyone else that thinks the phrase “he’s got more talent in his little finger than you do in your entire body” applies?

By the way, if you want to see more of Reggie, here is his MySpace page, and here are more of his videos on Vimeo or SuperDeluxe.
