Your Comedy Moment

Freaks and Geeks was the inspiration behind starting this blog, so why not feature one of the show's funniest moments for today's "Your Comedy Moment."

You'll recognize both Jason Segel and Seth Rogen from their recent success, but when Freaks and Geeks was shot they were relatively unknown.  Playing "freak" friends on the show, Segel (character name Nick Andopolis) and Rogen (Ken Miller) often found themselves playing off one another in the scene.

Here, Nick decided to test a song he had written for the object of his affection Lindsay (played by Linda Cardellini) with Ken first before debuting it for Lindsay.  What follows is a beautifully horrible song that Segel actually wrote for his character.  Enjoy the witty banter that follows after the song itself as well as what happens when Nick decides to play it for Lindsay.

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.
