A Colbert Christmas with Willie Nelson

Smoke 'em if you got 'em... that's how you celebrate the season!

Interspecies Love Doesn't Work

Full Metal Elf

Remember the 1987 film "Full Metal Jacket"? How about the drill sergeant? "I'll bet you're the kind of guy that would f$%# a person in the ass and not even have the goddamn common courtesy to give him a reach-around." How about this little holiday remake? Merry Christmas!

(Adult Content: Oh noooooooo!)

A Frosty Night in Houston

The Naughty Skeleton

If only Candid Camera had balls like this back in the day. Damn FCC would've beaten that @$$! It's an email forward so I'm sorry if you've seen it already.

Happy Birthday Mikey!

That old ass mofo turned 33 today. And fyi - I'll be kicking his ass in golf Friday.

SNL Rewind

I missed this one Saturday night. Damn that s#!% is funny! And look for Justin Timberlake's appearance. Thank God Anthony Yanez stays home on weekends to let me know what I missed.

Prop 8: The Musical

With this economy, I hope Funny or Die can stay funded. They keep turning out hilarious stuff (College Humor is good too). But anyway, they've got an all-star cast for this Broadway parody. "Prop 8 - The Musical" just kills. I'm no theologian, but doesn't the bible condemn divorce more than homosexuality? Anyway...

Manuel Loves This Bit

I'm posting this because Kevin "Breakfast Taco" Manuel wanted me to. Seriously, this guy Jeff Dunham is a pretty good ventriloquist. I hadn't heard of him before Kevin "Owner's" Manuel told me about him. I laughed a little, but didn't have 10 minutes to spare to watch the whole bit. Of course, Kevin "Scale Buster" Manuel doesn't do much work most days.

WTF?!

What the hell is the deal with the Scottrade helicopter? WTF does that have to do with investing? Is the guy even a real pilot? I don't get it. This blogger from Austin wrote a pretty funny post about it.

Not Funny

I'm still not sure the point of this blog, but generally I like to post funny, amusing, and entertaining items. Here's one that's so bad it's good. It's infuriating too. Especially if you're a comedy writer (which I am not).

Quick background: I subscribe to a daily newsletter about the TV News biz. For some reason, the editors like to include dumb-ass jokes from a guy named Jim Barach (I reluctantly link to his blog because it's only fair). Hopefully they're getting paid for it. Here are a couple examples of his "jokes"... and they're this bad EVERY DAY.

"'Twilight' is number one at the box office. A teenage vampire is the new kid in high school. He heard there's this gang he'd like to belong to. The Bloods."

"Washington Mutual bank is closing branches and laying off employees. Some signage isn't very comforting to customers. 'All deposits are now guaranteed by the FDIOU.'"

"Disney's 'Bolt' is out in movie theaters. Despite its silly storyline, the animated film actually has a message for kids. 'Bolt' merchandise is available at WalMart and Target."

Poke Your Hontas

The Boner Pill Works

I don't usually post parody videos unless I make them. But this one is worth it. The production value is okay. But the idea is hilarious!

You Only Get One Shot

A convicted killer in Argentine kills himself in front of a TV crew. Don't watch it if you've got a sensitive stomach.

Cartoons Come To Life!

WATCH AT YOUR OWN RISK!

From The BeeHive

Every sports team needs an introduction. Years ago it was just music and a spotlight if you were lucky. These days it's all about multi-media. When I was in high school I did tape-to-tape music mixes for the basketball team. Now an old bastard, I threw together some audio for my boy Brandon Smith from the sports media department at East Carolina University (home of the Pirates, arrrrrrrr). He was creating a special production for the men's and women's basketball teams, to get everyone rowdy before the game... and there's apparently a light show to go along with it in the arena. I think it kicks ass. (Please, Cougars and Owls don't be mad. It's not like I'll root ECU over my home teams. For real.)

Martial Arts Kick-Ass

This is a movie trailer for a Thai martial arts film called "Ong bak 2." It has some of the wildest, craziest, best fighting ever recorded. (Thanks, B)

A New View of WWII

Cleaning out their Grandparents' home in Colorado, two brothers found this incredible film, shot by their Grandad at the end of World War II. The footage is amazing. The shots of an American aerial assault look amazingly like so many war movies we've seen. Anyway, the story got kick-started when the boys took the film to NBC affiliate KUSA in Denver. You can read the full story here.

WTF?!

Did you hear Joe Scarborough of MSNBC this morning? WTF was he thinking? Honestly, I shouldn't talk smack 'cuz I worry about doing that myself everyday. But it was funnier still that Joe had no idea what he had just said. That's the problem with talking too much junk in commericial breaks -- you get too comfortable and increase your chances of letting one slip. Although it's just cable people!! What's the problem?! The FCC is so prudish. Wonder how much they'll charge the network? At least the Huffington Post is there to upload the clip for all to see. Let's see how long it's available before NBC makes them take it down.

And my dear friend Rincon adds: "Eff the effing EFF-C-C." Nice.

Undacova Again!

Our boy Cory "Undacova" Goodman brought up this post election point:

Why are no newspeople talking about the fact that Massachusetts has now decriminalized pot, by a 65% margin. If you are caught in the state with less than an ounce you get a $100 ticket that you can mail in. In Michigan pot is now legal for medical purposes, won by 63%. In Arkansas and Hawaii they voted to make pot the lowest police priority.

Here is a rundown of them all. Most won by more than 60%. The only one that failed was in California, of all places, due to a multi-million dollar smear campaign headed by the Governator (including 4 other former governors) and the Prison Workforce Labor Union (due to the fact that it would mean less people in prison and less work for overtime).

Next year a bill in the House will decriminalize pot federally, Obama has stated he supports the tenets of the bill in the past (not the bill itself though since it was introduced while he was running for prez). He supports medical and revamping the War on Drugs towards decriminalization. I hope News organizations start covering it so that there is a chance it will pass.

Undacova, ladies and gentlemen. (applause)

I would add this: We're down hundreds of billion a year on the federal budget. It might be time to really consider regulating and taxing marijuana among other things. Decriminalize. Medicalize. Radicalize. Whatever. Tickets bring in money. Putting cops on more important shit saves time and money. We need new sources of revenue fast, like yesterday. More income tax is not the way to go. We're already pissed about that. New sources of revenue from new markets and new ideas is what we need. There's gotta be some smart economist dude who can dream that plan up for us. How about a contest among college students to submit new, fresh ideas? Winner gets a job at the Fed or something. I'm just saying...
