Boat Crashing Into San Diego Dock

A Gorilla Was Just Spotted On International Space Station

sickio says...

It's not a one off gag, Scott Kelly is actually a furry and needed this to keep him happy for his long year in space.

There's 5lbs of science payload wasted.

At least Hadfield's guitar was a genuine personal item and not a one-off gag.

A Gorilla Was Just Spotted On International Space Station

spawnflagger says...

I was just thinking "doesn't it cost $1M a pound to get stuff into space?"
so I looked it up, it's more like $10k (to $25k) to get 1 lb into LEO (low earth orbit, where the ISS is). But between 1lb and 5lbs, that's and expensive gag.

Ya, I'm a killjoy.

Victor Borge - His Greatest Piano Jokes

MilkmanDan says...

He looks quite young there compared to any of the other videos I've seen of him.

I love his "Best of" video that I think PBS put together back in the 90's (I think clips have been here on the sift). It has all of these gags except for Moonlight Sonata. Judging in comparison to here, I think his comedic timing got a bit better with age.

Such a talented and funny guy -- was a shame when he passed, but he had a very good run.

**edit**
This one is from that "Best of" special: (a few more on search here, but this is the highest voted one from that particular show that isn't dead)

This Is Why You Don't Go Close to the Ocean During a Storm

poolcleaner says...

It's amusing how cruel people can unwittingly be (on YouTube) making fun of the elderly man being sucked into the sea to die and their misplaced vitriol at the disabled person who is unable to help. It's not so much that an old guy almost died and a crippled person couldn't do anything; it's the the irony in the comments due to people not knowing the truth. Then again, maybe it could also be a skit like the disabled fat guy from Little Britain?

Certainly, it is funny, despite the cruelty in laughing at other people's misery. It could be a gag in an Adam Sandler movie, except the old guy would be Bob Barker and he'd be pulled out to sea and heard cursing as he drifts and blinks out in the sunset. *Plink!*

Everyone would laugh and then Adam Sandler would kiss a blond woman, probably Drew Barrymore, while the sun sets and we do the Looney Tunes fade out, with Porky Pig interrupting with a hand gesture, "A bi-di-a-bi-di-a-bi-di-abi-di-that's all folks!"

greg giraldo owns denis leary on tough crowd

poolcleaner says...

Isn't Leary's whole shtick that he's really just a lucky asshole?

He's in character. He typically gets humbled (owned) in his comedic acts; he's the every man's angry man that needs the humbling experiences to grow rather than be destoyed by hubris.

I've never seen him as the type who competes, rather he reacts with the inhibitions of an angry drunk tellIing it lIke it is. It's difficult for me to see the difference between him being Dennis Leary for real and him being Dennis Leary in his acts. You always get the feeling he is implicitly telling his jokes from the underdog's perspective. He was just wrong about a fact, except he's a comedian, so being owned while in character is the riposte and payoff for the act. Greg's stare down ONLY works because it's against Leary. Two man bit. Three man with Colin's visual gag. (It's like the Marx Bros.)

They both win at comedy, but Greg wins at facts.

The Simpsons - YOU'RE NEXT

shang says...

The director of the movie "You're Next" applauded this 'homage'.

So wonderful


The Simpsons’ couch gag has become a great place for innovative filmmakers and artists to show off their take on the iconic nuclear family and the many denizens of Springfield. From the creators of Rick And Morty, to Don Hertzfeldt, Guillermo Del Toro, John K., and many others, all have left their individual stamp on the opening of the classic show and its opening segment. Now another artist has thrown his hat in the ring, albeit unofficially, with a gruesome blending of The Simpsons with Adam Wingard’s film You’re Next.

Lee Hardcastle is an experienced stop-motion animator that has applied his craft to a segment in The ABCs Of Death, a mash-up of Frozen and The Thing, and even a music video for the group Gunship. Now Hardcastle has brought that same off-kilter horror sensibility to his proposed couch gag for Springfield’s first family with a possibly NSFW-ish (due to clay violence and gore) and fairly disturbing short. Hardcastle’s couch gag opens serenely enough before devolving into a home invasion pastiche just like You’re Next—much to the appreciation and applause of Adam Wingard himself. It’s unclear although unlikely that Fox will actually use this couch gag on screen, but maybe it will help boost Hardcastle’s chances for crafting a Treehouse Of Horror intro/segment.



His channel is awesome, his mashup of Disney's Frozen with John Carpenter's The Thing, absolute masterpiece.
