The Annotated Wisdom of Louis C.K. | Splitsider

I've started to kind of hate people, and it's not because I have anything against them. It's just, I enjoy it. It's recreation.

@IJasonAlexander - A message of amends

Mon, 30 Jul 2012 22:25:11 +0000

So, I can only apologize and I do. In comedy, timing is everything. And when a group of people are still fighting so hard for understanding, acceptance, dignity and essential rights – the time for some kinds of laughs has not yet come. I hope my realization brings some comfort.

God Bless America (Official Movie Site) - From stand-up comedian and director Bobcat Goldthwait - Starring Joel Murray and Tara Lynne Barr - Now on Demand and In Theatres - Trailers, Pictures & More

Mon, 14 May 2012 03:50:38 +0000

Frank (Joel Murray) has had enough of the downward spiral of American culture, which he sees as overrun with cruelty, stupidity and intolerance. Divorced, recently fired, and possibly terminally ill, Frank truly has nothing left to live for. But instead of taking his own life, he buys a gun and decides to take out his frustration on the cruelest, stupidest, most intolerant people he can imagine—starting with some particularly odious reality television stars. Frank finds an unusual accomplice in a high-school student named Roxy (Tara Lynne Barr), who shares his sense of rage and disenfranchisement, and together they embark on a nation-wide assault on our country’s dumbest, most irritating celebrities.

NBC’s “Whitney” and CBS’s “2 Broke Girls” : The New Yorker

Tue, 22 Nov 2011 01:24:26 +0000

The problem is that “Whitney” is a terrible show, though in ways that resonate with our culture’s debates about women and humor. Like so many comedians on TV, Cummings plays an off-brand version of herself, an acerbic photographer with a live-in boyfriend. She resists pressure to marry; she and her dude bicker over household habits; they party with friends at a local night club. But, while Cummings is lacerating and deadpan, her fictional avatar reminds me less of Roseanne, or even of Silverman, than of someone much older: Lucille Ball.

NBCs mid-season schedule benches Community, kills Prime Suspect, brings back 30 Rock - HitFix.com

Tue, 15 Nov 2011 15:46:45 +0000

"Community" is a mess ratings-wise, but it's one of NBC's few shows that still draws largely unabashed love from critics (and from its shrinking but passionate group of fans). Pulling it off the schedule temporarily given the ratings is understandable; pulling it off the schedule while leaving "Whitney" on is not. Either show is going to do the same pathetic numbers on Wednesdays at 8 - away from its "Office" cocoon, "Whitney" could easily do worse than "Community" would - and one move at least buys continued goodwill from the press and viewers, whereas there's no one outside the immediate families of Whitney Cummings and Chris D'Elia who will be happy that show continues to air, week after week.

Mic to Mic: The mashed potatoes sample revealed!

Sun, 12 Oct 2008 02:44:32 +0000

"The source of a spoken sample used in the song "B-Boys Makin' with the Freak Freak" has been a topic of discussion in the Beastie Boys fan community since the release of Ill Communication, the album on which the song appears, in 1994. Uncredited on the album, the sample -- referred to as "the mashed potatoes sample" by fans -- has been a mystery. Fans have wondered and argued about who the comedian that says, "Shit, if this is gonna be that kind of party, I'm gonna stick my dick in the mashed potatoes" is."

Weird Al: Forefather of the YouTube Spoof

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 04:30:13 +0000

"Much like the big-name artists he once so expertly spoofed, Yankovic now inspires not just imitators but also competitors. He'll soon commence work on his 13th studio album, which will have to compete against his own singsongy progeny—the amateur satirists who can devise, record, and edit their own parodies in days, if not hours. To make matters more complicated, whereas Yankovic could once mine such inexhaustible icons as Jackson and Nirvana for laughs, he now has to contend with the likes of Jessica Simpson or Kevin Federline—celebrities who are more or less already self-parodies. Being a music satirist in 2008 is a bit like being a political cartoonist after the Harding administration: too many easy targets, too few sacred idols."

Suicide Jumper at Improv Everywhere

Mon, 04 Jun 2007 18:07:58 +0000

"A few weeks ago I ... noticed a four-foot tall ledge protruding from a seemingly abandoned building. The next logical step was to stage an Improv Everywhere Mission with a suicide jumper on the absurdly small ledge."
