A few weeks ago, we introduced you to the Laugh Factory’s weekly live event, The Kevin Nealon Show. In short, the Saturday Night Live alum introduces a great comic onstage to the famous venue’s Los Angeles location to perform a few minutes of comedy, and then invites them back onstage for a fun chat. Think of it as Inside the Actors Studio without the creepy host; also replace the pretentious actors and actresses with comedians, who, are way the opposite of that.
This week, Nealon welcomed comedian Brad Williams. Check it out below!
And while you’re at it, check out a few more episodes — featuring Mike Epps and Adam DeVine — after the jump.
So we already knew that Snoop Dogg was joining forces with stand-up comedian Mike Epps for a music and comedy tour, kicking off on April 27. But what we didn’t know is that Mike Epps is the equivalent of Snoop in the comedy world. How can we be sure? Because muthafuckin’ Snoop said so himself. Check out the video below.
When we reported on March 4 that Hulu had failed to strike a deal with Viacom (who owns Comedy Central) to keep publishing clips from The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, we referenced the three-year-old lawsuit Viacom has against YouTube for allowing Comedy Central’s copyrighted material to be posted on the massive video sharing site.
Today, that lawsuit was pushed to the forefront as the opening briefs became public. And as boring as this has the potential to sound, it’s not; both parties are firing some pretty heavy allegations at each other. And the outcome of this whole debacle has equally as heavy consequences for the way comedy is shared online. So let’s get to the accusations.
Comedy Central darling Nick Swardson has been tapped to star in a cross promotional campaign that teams up Vitamin Water and the NCAA basketball tournament. In a series of spots called “Mad Tips,” Swardson gives his audience helpful hints on how to better enjoy this year’s college sporting event of the year. In each of the ads — check them out below — a co-star is also featured; 30 Rock’s Katrina Bowden, Kevin Farley and John Farley are all represented. Enjoy!
Starting at 10 pm EST tonight, Comedy Central is going to treat you to some hardcore animation– first in the form of South Park’s season 14 premiere, wherein Tiger Woods, David Letterman and other famous sex addicts are targeted, and then secondly from the wholly bizarre series premiere of Ugly Americans.
The latter show is a look inside an alternate New York City, filled with demons, vampires, zombies and humans. There’s humans! We’ve lazily embedded a pair of preview clips for each show below. Will you be watching tonight?
These never get old. Whether Zach Galifianakis is awkwardly and rudely interviewing Charlize Theron, Natalie Portman or Jon Hamm or in the newest case, Ben Stiller, you could always expect some quality comedy from Between Two Ferns, the every-now-and-again released web series created by the bearded one. Check it out, kids!
Sometimes the universe lines up in a special kind of way. At least, that is the only explanation I have for the video I just watched, appropriately titled “Dick Towel” – a music video that combines the FX show It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the hilarious Nick Thune, and the legendary concept rapper Kool Keith.
Inspired by the Dick Towel, a product that appeared on It’s Always Sunny that prominently features several perspectives of both a large (“huge cock”) and small (“tiny bird”) penis placed conveniently on a towel, Keith has provided us with a tasteful song detailing said towel. The video, directed by Bradley Scott, is enjoyable, though I’m not exactly sure if it was because it’s funny, or because it is so delightfully confusing.
It starts off innocent enough, with Thune and actor Justin Dray discussing a lighthouse painted on the wall, but it quickly progresses into a world of animated sailboats, crabs, Dick Towel-clad women and an ocean of swimming penises. The rhymes aren’t Keith’s best work (that would belong to the timeless Dr. Octagonecologyst), but given the subject matter and the overall absurdity, they create a wonderful tribute to a hilarious television show.
You can watch the video here. We think it’s NSFW. God it’s getting harder and harder to tell these days.
And if you are curious –yes, Dick Towels actually exist. And they can be ordered from dicktowel.com.
On tonight’s Late Show with David Letterman, the big man welcomes Jimmy Kimmel to the guest seat. Not surprisingly, Letterman thanks Kimmel for all he’s done ripping apart Jay Leno during the Great Late Night Clusterfuck of 2010 (our term, not his).
What we found most hilarious, is Dave’s quick aside to Kimmel, saying that he’s still in the game to lay into Leno, despite Jay having already taken over the new Tonight Show. Shit, we hope he’s not just joking. Check out the clip below and tune into the Late Show tonight to see the interview in full.
UPDATE: Seems CBS is having some trouble with the embed code for this clip. If you don’t see the video load below, check it out here.
The other day, we introduced you to the two comedian contestants on this season of Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice. Well, in one episode’s time, the comic representation as been cut in half, as the Donald axed comedian Carol Leifer on Sunday. Sinbad is now the lone comedian on a show full of the likes of Sharon Osbourne, Darryl Strawberry and Cyndi Lauper.
Check out Leifer getting fired below. Guess she’ll have to go back to being a successful show writer and touring comedian.
New York based comedian David Angelo is asking you to steal his jokes, perform them on video and send them his way. You might as well do it. You can win $500.
Here’s the deal: Angelo has compiled a list of his own cast-off jokes. You can find them, along with all other contest info, at CodeNameJoke.com. You pick one (or any of Angelo’s jokes, if you’re familiar with his work), video tape yourself performing it upload it to YouTube with the words “Codename Joke” and then send the link to video to submit@codenamejoke.com. Submissions will be accepted until 11:59 pm EST on May 31. Industry insiders will then choose the winner.
“The appeal, for me, is that these people can fully commit to a sub-par joke because they aren’t self-conscious about having written it,” says Angelo. “The worst they can do is harm my reputation – which is already beneath contempt. So it’s win-win!”
Let Angelo himself explain it to you in the video below.
