Your Comedy Moment

From this past weekend's SNL, two great clips of Back to the Future screen tests.  Bill Hader and Jay Pharoah steal the sketch, but Jon Hamm doesn't do half bad for himself.  Make sure to watch the clips before they're taken down by NBC.






Plan is to have the last entry into the top ten on Tuesday. However, on a serious note, I will be attending my grandmother's funeral tomorrow so I'm not sure whether I'll have time to finalize the write-up.  She was a good woman who this blogger will miss a great deal.

To keep with the 90210 theme, I decided to choose a scene of Tori Spelling first attempting to act and then attempting to model.  She fails on both counts. But it is hilarious.

With The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air as our featured theme song today, could "Your Comedy Moment" be anything but Alfonso Ribeiro doing "The Carlton?"


First, here's a compilation of some of the best Carlton dancing scenes set to Tom Jones' "It's Not Unusual." The second video (after the jump) is an unedited version of Carlton's dance with that laugh track clear as day.

Today I wanted to share with the audience one of my favorite South Park moments. I can't help but laugh out loud whenever I see (or I guess hear) this clip. Remember new episodes of South Park are running Wednesday at 10/9c on Comedy Central.

What Family Matters thought of as a "comedy moment," here's a compilation of the one and only Steve Urkel:

Hate Jim Rome, but in honor of former LSU Tiger Brian Wilson's performance in the NLDS here is his appearance on Rome is Burning from September.  Oh yeah, Wilson is crazy.

I wanted to feature some great, clever pre-title lines of the late Jerry Orbach as Det. Lennie Briscoe on Law and Order, but I can't seem to find any compilations online.  Thus, in his place, I'll use the poor-man's version.  Here's some horrible lines from David Caruso on CSI:Miami.

To go with our theme song of the day, here's a collection of some great The Simpsons clips.  This will be out biggest clip post in blog history, so if you love The Simpsons you'll be in heaven. You're welcome. 


Sorry for having to use Hulu, Youtube Simpsons clips tend to suck.  More clips after the break.

Eschewing some popular scenes that feature Niles heavily, I thought that for today's Frasier-centric "Your Comedy Moment" I'd feature a clip from the episode "The Show Where Diane Comes Back." I think anyone who's seen both Frasier and Cheers will quickly realize what's happening in the scene; however, I must point out Kelsey Grammar's hilarious facial reactions to the play he's watching as well as the slow boil that leads to the excellent last forty second of the clip or so.  


I always hated Shelley Long; this clip does nothing to change that hate.

Again, not too big of a Friends fan so I'm unfamiliar with much of their later, humorous hijinks. I always like a good Chandler clip though so here you go:

I've recently decided that repeating television shows in the "Your Comedy Moment" feature isn't necessarily the worst thing in the world.  Having said that, I've been plowing through a few hard to find, classic SNL clips that I could remember to search for.  From May 1992, here's one of my favorite bits from a Tom Hanks hosted episode. 


One of the problems with the early 90s SNL was the need to fit such a large cast into the show. That tended to lead to a number of skits where the goal was to get as many cast members into the sketch as possible.  The "Sabra Price is Right" skit is an example of one of these extremely full sketches that works very, very well.  My favorite moment is probably what happens once Chris Rock arrives, but the whole thing is great.

So my genius idea for Your Comedy Moment was to run a scene from the show listed in the Top 10 TV Themes Countdown for that day.  What I failed to realize was that Step by Step isn't quite as funny to me today as it was to me in 1995.  Still, I've resigned myself to this setup so here's today's "Your Comedy Moment" featuring the lovely Staci Keanan* acting a little too high, out-broading even the Code-man.


* Also, someone needs to sign Staci Keanan up for another sitcom. Between this show and My Two Dads we're talking two of the better themes over the last thirty years.

For today's "Your Comedy Moment" I wanted to include an entire, bizarre interview that David Letterman did with Joaquin Phoenix circa February 11, 2009.  Though Dave has gotten a little more crotchety in his old age, I wanted to give an example of how quick-witted and humorous he still can be.  Regardless of the validity of Phoenix's condition, Dave handled it quite well.

Figured I'd give a comedy bonanza today.  Three different clips.

My favorite scene ever on 30 Rock. Baldwin earned his Emmy that year.

For this special Tuesday edition of "Your Comedy Moment," we go to one of my favorite dramas of all time.  Here's a great clip from the Sopranos, just make be warned, there is some cursing.

Your 09/02/10 Comedy Moment

In honor of today's date and our good friends at Hogs for the Cause here's some unintentional comedy as only the folks at Beverly Hills 90210 can deliver.
