I have to work so I am going to miss them… but why watch the debates when you can watch Hockey Mom the movie…

Holy shit I wish this were real… Of course I mean the movie, if Sarah Palin becomes president I carve my own head off with a hockey skate.

The first time I saw Dave Hill do stand up about two years ago he showed a video of him interviewing people at Fashion Week.  It pretty much blew me away.  Yesterday I got an email from him with the newest video in his Fashion Week series.  I think you need to check it out as it is once again amazing.  In fact, I am posting the newest one on top and then the older ones below.  Make sure you check Dave Hill online here, or if you speak Japanese here.

This could be one of the best things I have ever seen dealing with politics on the even smaller screen. And just FYI it is from 23/6 which is quickly becoming my favorite website. The Get Your War On cartoons are even better than the comic, and my man Eugene Mirman kills it 24/7.

UPDATE: THIS video is the best thing I have ever seen dealing with politics. Jesus. Today was a marquee day for RNC YouTube coverage.

I have been sent this three times already, it clearly has to be seen. The Karl Rove thing is the best because I expect him to be a little slicker than this. Dick Morris and Bill O’Riley are hypocritical assholes anyway, so it is expected. Still this video is amazing. Send it to a conservative friend.

My friends Day By Day are getting ready for the second season of their show Stupid Face.  They just posted this new music video called “We So Broke”.  Evidently, poverty is the new bling.

Check out these photos I shot of Day By Day when I was out in LA in January.

The Onion News Network released one of my favorite of their videos so far today. Despite that McCain completely sold out his socially liberal beliefs in order to pander to the right wing and I am pretty positive that he would be a huge determent to this country if he was some how elected, I do find the fact that he can make a bow and arrow out of bamboo and his own hair and kill a man with his bare hands relatively impressive. He is probably the only candidate running for president that has willingly killed people. Semper Fortis motherfucker.

McCain Declines Secret Service, Dares Assassins To Try Something

My friend Robyn is amazing…. and every bit as good as Annie Leivovitz. I am sure by now you have heard about this “controversial” topless photos of Hanna Montana star Miley Cyrus in Vanity Fair. Well my friend Robyn shot two comedians who do a thing called “Red State Update” in the style of the Vanity Fair photos. I think the photos are pretty brilliant. Compare below.

Continuing my new found re-obsession with Tom Green here is a highlight reel of his interweb show from the first 1/3rd of ‘08. Watching him play Chuck D is pretty remarkable. I also find myself liking Pauly Shore more and more as my life goes on. And I still have a crush on Kathy Griffin no matter how weird that is.

So this is not really relevant to anything as this video was posted many months ago, but a friend of mine sent this to me yesterday with the instructions “you should blog about this”.  I will indulge him because I LOVE Jon Lovitz.  This is a YouTube video o f Jon Lovitz talking about how his myspace page is real and not a hoax.  He talks about his new comedy club and how he is doing stand up now.  If you go to his myspace page it talks about how he just started doing stand up and how Dane Cook has taken him under his wing or something and how supportive he has been.  I find this pretty sad since Dane Cook is pretty much a huge douche bag and of limited talents.  Jon Lovitz however is probably one of the funniest people on Earth.  It is sort of upsetting to see him posting photos of him and Cook on his page.  Also slightly upsetting is the comments on Lovitz page where he is shilling for his movie Benchwarmers.  He calls it “really funny”.  While I have no problem with someone plugging one of their films, to put his reputation on the line and call Benchwarmers funny is off putting.  This is because that Benchwarmers might be the worst film I have ever seen.  Ever.  It is consistently terrible.  Rob Shnider is the straight man somehow… the hero.  There is not one laugh in the whole movie… except when Lovitz is on screen.  He is pretty fantastic in it actually.  I started cracking up pretty much every time he was on screen.

Anyway, this video is just weird and surreal and you should just watch it and then go Netflix Hapiness, Trapped In Paradise and the entire series of the Critic and laugh your ass off.

Apologies for the randomness of this, I had an idea for the post but then I started watching hockey and writing a sentence or two between stoppages and I sort of lost my way.

So I just got an email from someone over at UCB and they told me that last month the State did a reunion show at UCB Theater in LA. If anyone is not aware of who the State are, please get educated. The State was a sketch comedy show in MTV in the early 90’s. It was probably the best show on TV at the time. Many of the State have gone on to amazing things. David Wain directed Wet Hot American Summer which was co written my Michael Showalter. The movie also starred Michael Ian Black who is that dude from the Sierra Mist commercials (not to mention many other things). The three of them also make up Stella which is a stand up comedy trio who also do amazing sketch videos and then had their own show on Comedy Central that was far too weird for any mass audience to enjoy. I don’t know who gave them a show in the first place, but I appreciate it. The other very successful branch off the State was Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant who along with Mr. Ian Black and the extremely sexxy Kerri Kenney started a variety show on Comedy Central called Viva Variety which while short lived was one of the most brilliant things I have ever seen on TV. The same group, minus Michael Ian Black then went on to do Reno 911 which has been the most successful State alumni project to date. Lennon and Garant also write and do touch ups for consistently horrible comedies such as Balls Of Fury, The Pacifier, Herbie Fully Loaded and Taxi! The other members of the State show up in things, mostly other State related projects from time to time, with Joe Lo Truglio getting the most work. He starred in the amazing web TV show Horrible People which just ended its first season today. Every member of the State was also in Wain’s film “The Ten” which came out last year.

Anyway, the first section from their LA reunion is below, and they will be releasing a new sketch here every Monday for the next few weeks.

State reunion better come to NYC… and MTV better finally release the State on DVD. The wait is killing me. You can see some episodes on iTunes in the meanwhile.

I keep telling you guys about my return to my obsession with Tom Green… Well it is not without reason. This is why he is still brilliant. He rocks the house from city to city.

I have been a Stella fan for a long time, long before they had their TV show. I bought the Stella shorts DVD collection many years ago, but they never sent it to me and I had to buy the second pressing of it kinda recently. Anyway, I had seen all the shorts, and by far my favorite one (actually, Dick Fish was a close second) was their music video for Chicago’s Saturday which is a pretty amazing song. The best part of it was seeing this guy dance in his underwear. It was amazing. Years later I moved to NYC and I have ended up becoming friends with this man. His name is Seth Herzog and I have blogged about him before. He does a comedy show at the Slipper Room on Tuesdays. I keep forgetting to go, so if you feel like going one day, remind me and we can go together. Sorry. Random. Watch the video. It is great.

So I am on a plane right now on the way to Miami for Winter Music shit. I posted the fliers yesterday so you know what’s up I guess. Anyway here is the first of 7 updates that you will be getting automatically when I am gone. I should have time to do other updates, but I didn’t while I was at SXSW, so this time I am on top of shit.

I just rediscovered Tom Green. I have spent probably 10 hours on his site in the last week. I was sort of obsessed with him in 1999, but like I sort of forgot about him at some point. Evidently he now does an internet talk show from his house that is occasionally shown on TV or something. I have yet to see it live, but there are TONS of old episodes on there as well as every episode of the pre Mtv Tom Green Show. His new show is way less insane, but it is very interesting. He just sits and talks to some celebs for like an hour about all sorts of random things. He tattooed Kat Von D, got in a near fist fight with Andrew Dice Clay and he out battled Xzibit. Below is the first episode of his old old show, but make sure you click those links above for amazing footage from his new show.

As I have mentioned before my brother works for the Onion News Network. This weeks video is one of my favorites ever. Enjoy.

Anonymous Philanthropist Donates 200 Human Kidneys To Hospital

I have been following Improv Everywhere for years. They recently blew up when their video of people freezing at Grand Central Station blew up on the internets. For their newest video they performed a musical in the middle of a mall food court. I have always wanted to do this, and evidently I am not alone because they got over 100 requests for this mission before they did it. There is no real point in me talking about it, just watch the video. Behind the scenes stuff can be found here.
