Everyone Hates Sarah Marshall

sarah marshall

This weekend marks a big test for the Judd Apatow camp. His last two (produced) films (Drillbit Taylor and Walk Hard) were box office flops. Can the man with the comedy Midas touch gain a little cred back with a comedy that is more in the vain of mega hits Knocked Up and 40 Year Old Virgin? If it fails, don’t blame the quality (amazing 85% on RT) – blame this HORRIBLE ad campaign. Does anyone think this an effective campaign – black on white, no photos, no sign of stars? Walk Hard (much funnier than the credit it is given) also suffered from a horrible campaign. John C. Reilly’s shirtless chest and ugly mug didn’t make anyone want to go see what was probably the slapstick comedy of the year. And this… does the casual observer even know what this is for?

Where is Mila Kunis? Where is Kristen Bell? Does anyone disagree? Regardless, I am excited for the film (written by Jason Segel) and hope to check it out this weekend.

WVotW – Falling Down

There really may be no funnier act than people falling down. This guy certainly cracks up. It made America’s Funniest Home Videos a hit for years. What is our primal reaction to this act? Something about the action that makes us different from animals breaking down? I don’t know but I am on board. It is hilarious.

WVotW – Presidential Campaign Edition


Hillary4U&Me

There is a horrible new trend happening all around us of amateur videographers making grotesque campaign videos to show their support for their candidates. I can’t imagine these are sanctioned by the candidates… unless they are really struggling in the press oversight department. Hillary’s is especially horrendous and absolutely serious.

There are a ton out there for Obama as well – this one is particularly bad. Man I hate iPhoto-esque slideshows set to music. How many transitions can you come up with?

This Week in Obama

Obama H.S.

There is a pretty hilarious front page piece in this week’s The Onion entitled, “Black Guy Asks Nation For Change.”

According to witnesses, a loud black man approached a crowd of some 4,000 strangers in downtown Chicago Tuesday and made repeated demands for change.

It is estimated that, to date, the black man has asked every single person in the United States for change.

“I’ve already seen this guy four times today,” Chicago-area ad salesman Blake Gordon said. “Every time, it’s the same exact spiel. ‘I need change.’ ‘I want change.’ Why’s he so eager for all this change? What’s he going to do with it, anyway?”

Those who encountered the black man Tuesday said he engaged in erratic behavior, including pointing at random people in the crowd and desperately saying he needs their help, going up to complete strangers and hugging them, and angrily claiming that he is not looking for just a little bit of change, but rather a great deal of change, and that he wants it “right now.”

Is anyone offended by this? Of course it is satire – but even so is anyone out there a bit offended by the racial issues?

…I’m not. But why would I be? The real humor is that I actually do get an email prety much every day from the Obama campaign asking for money.

*      *      *

In other Obama news, Barack has announced that he will have an intimate dinner with 4 lucky donors selected at random from people who donate between now and Mar 31. Interesting idea – win a dinner with Obama. It does not seem to be evident where the dinner will take place and I can only assume winner will be responsible for getting to the location (odds on it is Pennsylvania). Anyone think he might see some backlash for this kind of move?

*      *      *

Finally – both Arianna Huffington and Bob Scheer had some really great things to say on last week’s episode of Left, Right and Center (radio) about Obama taking the higher ground and winning! This is in response to last week’s amazing “A More Perfect Union” speech addressing race (which everyone has already watched, right?). This week’s episode has a lot of the guest host annoyingly arguing with Tony, but to hear the two progressive voices very very happy with Obama and the nation’s reaction is quite heartening. Time to build some MOMENTUM!!

Black is the New President, Bitch!

I’ve been spreadin the love over SNL since they came back from the strike a few weeks back. I’m happy to say that after an off week last week with Amy Adams (maybe not her fault) they were back with guns firing this week with Jonah Hill. I’m definitely not saying that every sketch is a hit – but this is the zeit poppin off and there are some definite winners. Above is the clip from this week’s Weekend Update where Tracy Morgan takes a shot at Tina Fey’s pro Clinton mono from a few weeks back. Booosh.

Here are a few links to this week’s SNL. Check out the DigiShort and my other fave this week, the Country Music Commercial – Rocket Ships, Model-T Cars, Toddlers, and Jars of Beer.

…Notice that last one wasn’t a link. That is because NBC has been on the DMCA takedown warpath – pulling all their clips from YouTube. WTF!? Sure they might be losing some ad dollars from their nbc.com site – but they don’t seem to be getting the fact that it is allowing people like me to email these clips around that gets twice as many people to tune in NEXT WEEK. The buzz around SNL 3 weeks ago (after Huckabee) was nutty – the next week they KILLED it with Clinton. But not allowing their clips online and not putting all the clips on their site is just backwards backwater bullshit thinking. Booooo.

Good Times. Bad Times.

goodtimesbadtimes

This is for Oliver, Gerrard, and Pettler.  Always good times guys (oh and some bad times apparently).

And also for all those awesome clichéd college posters (avail on amazon) and the many jokes to be made about them -  though these lists are missing the ubiquitous Pink Floyd Albums on Girls’ Backs.  Love it.

Squeegees – live and hysterical

Squeegees

The hilarious new web series from the Handsome Donkey crew (check out Le Montage) is live at ABC. 2 episodes up already and they’re great.

From the site:

This hilarious new web comedy that follows the ups and downs of four buddies trying to make it in the rough and tumble world of high-rise window washing! It’s packed with high-flying stunts, steamy romance, hair-brained adventure and plenty of blood, vomit and nudity. Buckle your harness … this job is not for the faint of heart.

Congrats BC – you are an inspiration to all of us.

Garfield minus Garfied (= hilarity)

Garfield minus Garfield

From the site:

Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life?
