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?
Marc Maron has returned from performing at the Glasgow Comedy Festival and is back online streaming at WTFpod.com and iTunes (not that there was a break in programming anyway).
This week on WTF, Maron welcomes comedian Rob Delaney, who shares some pretty dark and heavy shit – a must listen – and Marc’s therapist “almost” Dr. Steve talks about addiction. That episode is up now. Tomorrow, Dov Davidoff chats with Maron about Scotland.
You should also know that Maron’s got a bunch of live dates coming up. In the next few weeks you can catch him at the Grog Shop in Cleveland (March 21), the Black Cat in Washington DC (March 22) and the Funny Bone in in Bloomington, IN (March 25 – 27). All of Marc’s dates are at marcmaron.com.
The legendary and late comedian George Carlin will be honored by some of the biggest names in comedy March 24 in New York City. A Tribute to George Carlin, will go down at the New York Public Library at 7 pm as part of the library’s LIVE from the NYPL series.
Ben Stiller, his parents and comedy legends Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, along with Louis C.K., Kevin Smith, Richard Belzer and Lewis and Lapham are all scheduled to perform. Whoopi Goldberg is set to host the gala. You can purchase tickets here.
On his stellar 2002 album Superhero, Stephen Lynch, he of the funny song writing ilk, ends his disc with a wee ditty called “Down to the Old Pub Instead.” Why are we telling you this? Well, because it’s friggin’ St. Patrick’s Day and said song, according to Lynch, was inspired by this holiest of holidays.
And what kind of site would we be if we didn’t somehow try to shoe-horn some kind of St. Patrick’s Day reference onto the blog on this day? The last thing we want are our Irish-American readers to feel slighted. So, don’t say we ignored this day. Now, enjoy the music of Stephen Lynch.
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.
First the live Conan O’Brien tour becomes official and now this: Deadline Hollywood, who’s not in the habit of getting things wrong, has just reported that Coco is in early talks to produce a documentary film around his 30-city tour.
Mike Fleming writes on the site: “Planning is just getting underway, but I’ve heard that Media Rights Capital has already had conversations about coming aboard as financier. Rodman Flender is in talks to direct.”
We can only hope that if the film comes to fruition, it owns an equally long-winded title as Conan’s tour, dubbed The Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour.
The ever growing Bridgetown Comedy Festival, now in its third year, today announced its massive list of comedians set to perform April 22 – April 25 in Portland, OR. In its premiere year, 40 comedians descended on the crunchy town; this year, locals and travelers to the Pacific Northwest alike will enjoy more than 75 performers.
All the information you’ll need for your fest-going activities is handsomely laid out at a newly-launched site, located at bridgetowncomedyfestival.com. For your immediate needs after the jump, there’s a partial list of comedians scheduled to perform:
It’s hard to believe that a cable channel that boasts four different ghost hunting shows would even employ a guy like Tracy Morgan. But they did. And they’re doing it again.
It was announced today that the stand-up comedian and 30 Rock star will return as the host of the hidden camera reality show Scare Tactics. If you’re unfamiliar with the show, it’s basically a combination of Candid Camera, Punk’d and Fangoria magazine.
In addition to host, Morgan will also serve as executive producer on the 13-episode order. “We’re ecstatic to be bringing back ‘Scare Tactics’ for another season to all our die-hard Syfy reality fans,” said Mark Stern, executive vp of programming, according to Hollywood Reporter. “Tracy has his finger on the pulse when it comes to comedy and having him on board as executive producer just adds another layer to the huge success of our show.”
In other words, over the last year Morgan has blown the hell up and SyFy needed to do something to keep him on their network.
Ok, stop reading and check out a clip of Scare Tactics below.
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.
