No, seriously, this is just a hilarious list of things white people like.

Skip all the junk about their book, but make sure to see #'s 75 and 78.

Flogging A Dead Horse

I know I've posted Shooting Stars clips before, but this is one of the best visual gags I've seen in a while:

Here are the 50 greatest sketches of all time as decided by Nerve and IFC. Whether or not you agree with their choices, there are copious links to the actual sketches and literally hours of classic hilarity all laid out before you. I've only made it through the bottom 15 and I'm very very very pleased.

There but for the grace of god ...

Turns out, Demetri Martin is just the nerdiest parts of me and my friends, all wrapped up in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

PS. I was solving my rubik's cube when part 2 came on.

Social Networking and Business

Mirzipan — 2008-02-27T20:33:27-05:00

Janeane Garofalo is having (with Dana Gould, Paul Provenza, and maybe the ACLU) an exclusive event for a certain kind of person. It's Friday, free, and part of Vancouver's Comedyfest. All it takes is lining up (first come, first served) with a print-out of your MYSPACE profile.

Is this the sort of thing that Dave Pollard is talking about in his "how to save the world" blog item 10? Your previous link-love got me thinking about it, and I later found myself on the comedy show's page. How can web-based social networking and the business mindset be used and harmonized? Or is this simply cross-promotional corporate advertising on the web?

Flight of the Conchords is wonderful. If you like what you see, invite yourself over to my house on Friday or Sunday at 10:30 to watch an episode of their 12-part series, which is the the best thing on TV these days.

Going Green

chrisdye — 2007-07-21T12:49:05-04:00

Last night, I went to a Just for Laughs show called "The Green Room", where headliners get interviewed casually. I lucked out- for my $18, I got to see Lewis Black, Billy Connolly, Eddie Izzard, and Louis C.K.. And when Eddie Izzard got tired and had to make a phone call (?!), Dave Foley and Kevin McDonald subbed in.

Due to the star-studdedness of it, I was lucky to have bought my ticket in advance: it was pretty awesome to get into Theatre Ste-Catherine (or "this corridor", said while Moses Znaimer (the guy who runs CityTV, MuchMusic, and half of the other crappy Canadian cable channels) stands outside, waiting to see if his pass will get him in.

A few good quotes:
"The words 'mission accomplished' can now no longer be used for anythig except a fuck-up." - Eddie Izzard

"Bush ruined the words 'mission accomplished' like Hitler ruined the little moustache." - Louis C.K.

"In the old days Britain, if we wanted to go to war, we'd send in a gunboat and blow the shit out of the place for a few hours, then come home and declare victory. We didn't stick around to see how it turned out. That would be bloody stupid." - Billy Connolly

"Bonnie Price Charlie was a retarded Italian dwarf. No wonder the Jacobite rebellion didn't work. Can you imagine an army of huge Scottish soldiers on their clydesdales being led by some wanker on a shetland pony, waving "Bongiorno!"
-Billy Connolly

"Who the fuck is Bonnie Prince Charlie? What the hell's a Jacobite? You guys are talking about more shit on this stage than I've ever even thought of, I'm going to spend the whole rest of the night: google this, wikipedia that..." - Lewis Black
