Your Comedy Moment

Sorry for not posting anything new yesterday, was stuck in a very boring meeting all day with no internet connectivity.  Here's an especially funny clip to make up for my failure:

Top Ten 80s TV Themes - Number 8

Before getting to number eight on our 80s TV Theme Countdown, I wanted to let you, the one visitor, know that I have discovered that the Seinfeld clip has disabled embedding. Sorry for that inconvenience, but you can still view the Costanza at his best by clicking on the link in the video.

Now, before you get too bored by the daily housekeeping, the clip you've been waiting for:

Your Comedy Moment

Before we get to today's comedy moment, let me tell you that for all future porno parodies I'll refrain from placing the video on the opening page as I don't want to get anyone in trouble while they're at work (even though I will never put actual pornography on this site). I hope that will prevent any potential problems for you and your's while viewing this blog at work.

For today's comedy moment, I present to you Jason Alexander's greatest scene on Seinfeld. Memorized immediately before shooting and nailed on the first take, this scene kills me every single time.

Presenting: Porn Parody Profile

Introducing the first weekly feature on our fair blog, "Presenting: Porn Parody Profile" where the blog features the trailer (don't worry, they're not pornographic) from a pornographic a parody of a popular television show.   I got the idea of this feature when I stumbled across Thomas Lennon's (of The State and Reno 911 fame) twitter account this morning and saw a posting for his review of the Reno 9111 XXX Parody on Funny or Die (definitely, NOT safe for work).

This discovery lead me down the rabbit hole to find what other shows had been parodied, and I was shocked to see that there were many, many more.  Thus, without further adieu, I present the first trailer in our journey through the porno parody world:

Top Ten 80s TV Themes - Number 9

As we continue our walk down 80s television theme memory lane, I wanted to take pause.  Pause so that you can mentally prepare yourself for what's to follow.  Pause because you're going to be shocked that I can find eight theme songs better than this one. Pause for you would not have thought of this song were it not for me.

Your Comedy Moment

As I wet my feet in the world of blogging, I thought it would be worthwhile to provide you, my visitors (or perhaps just myself) with a comedy moment that resonates with me.

Today's comedy moment comes from FX's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.  Since Frank and Mac have shunned both Charlie's and Dennis' involvement in their band (the "Pecan Sandies"), the certifiably crazy Charlie and the self-obsessed Dennis combine their musical "talents" to create "Day Man."  Truly, the whole was greater than the sum of its parts as Charlie's spray paint induced highs and Dennis' octave bending falsetto intermingle to create musical genius.  If you can watch this clip without laughing, then you do not have a sense of humor.

Leverage Creator's Blog

Though I have been unable to post anything of note today because of other obligations, I wanted to post a link to this blog.  It will take you to "Kung Fu Monkey," the personal blog of Leverage creator John Rogers.

Top Ten 80s TV Themes - Number 10

Because I'm struggling with ideas for material to write about, I figured I'd do a run through of my all-time favorite television theme songs, broken down by decade, over the last 30 years.  The only rule for ranking is my own personal preference. So, without further adieu:

 #10 "Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now" from Perfect Strangers 

Fourth of July - Freaks and Geeks

Always a devotee of the Apatow/Feig produced "Freaks and Geeks," I thought it would be appropriate to upload a scene that I always loved from the original show.  Taking place in episode 15 - "Noshing and Moshing" - its the ending montage featuring some great work by Samm Levine, James Franco, and Busy Phillips. 

If you watched the show you'll note that I removed "You're Nobody Til Somebody Loves You" by Dean Martin and replaced it with "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" by Neil Young - as the producers originally intended.  I think it adds a bit more pathos to the scene and is worth checking out.

Happy Fourth of July!

Though not from TV, this video feels appropriate:
