If Tom Cruise kills that Adolf Hitler birthday cake kid this week, I will totally see “Valkyrie.”
I want to say that this is just a good, solid joke, but honestly, I’ve already set aside ten dollars should Cruise actually do this.
BONUS ROUND: If he takes out his sister, Aryan Nation, I’ll go see Delgo.
FUNNY DOT COM
It seems almost coincidental that each of these things happened today.
MTV officially announces they are set to air The CollegeHumor Show in 2009.
Season Two of Flight of the Conchords premieres exclusively on FunnyorDie.
Turner Broadcasting finally pulls the plug on SuperDeluxe.

MTV, drunk on profits from The Hills, decided to give us our own TV show.
We’re excited. More details to come, obviously.
FINALLY! Not blogging about this has been the hardest test of self control in my life. And in case it still isn’t clear, our show is NOT A REALITY SHOW. For some reason even Variety can’t seem to figure this out. It’s fully scripted and we’ve...

Word on the street is some TI-Lovin’, Katt Williams-worshipin’, Christopher Meloni-wishful-molestin’ bitch is 21 as of 14 minutes ago.
I expect $10 from anyone who reads my tumblr. It’s only fair.
Happy Birthday! Mine ended 14 minutes ago.
I donated $10 to The Human Fund in your name. I hope that’s ok.

I hate comedy CDs. I think they’re dumb. I used to review them for a really fantastic stand-up site, and the exposure to stand-up was cool while I was rocking the Arctic Circle. However, there’s such a huge part of stand-up that gets lost in translation from stage to CD. (Same with stand-up online, but at least that tends to be free.)
It’s so personal and honest and seemingly...

The Adventures of Modern Day Jesus: Christmas.
Jesus meets his girlfriend’s mom for the first time at Christmas, and things seem to be going fine, until the dreaded ex shows up — one Kris Kringle.

Hilarious. This is an example of a simple idea that makes for a great sketch.
Clap. Clap. Clap.

BETWEEN TWO FERNS: Jon Hamm interviewed by Zach Galifianakis*
BREAKING NEWS: Jon Hamm likes websites. I repeat: Jon Hamm likes websites. Additional information to follow, as it unfolds.
*This has been updated to correct both the name of the show and the spelling of the guest’s name.
You know what's surprisingly fun?

Drinking alone.
This is something I’ve never been able to bring myself to do. It just seems wrong. However, I used to feel the same way about going to the movies by myself.
In other words, bottoms up.

Dear Lord,
I don’t come to you often, but this is of the utmost importance. Please, please, please make MTV stop.
Also, if you can get around to ending disease and world hunger, that would be great.
But mostly the MTV thing.
Amen.

Whipits, the shortest sketch show in history. We shot this over a year ago and Atom recently debuted it on their site. Reblog if you digg!
Love it. Great work!
I just like it, ok? For obvious reasons, I don’t want to go into any further detail.

Here’s something weird!
I was in this goth outfit for another project and happened to be singing and talking about Dave Matthews. That seemed like a funny idea and we shot it in about 15 minutes. Pardon the horribly off-key high note in #41. You’ll hear it.
This is hilarious. I might even go so far as to say it’s better than ezra.

MUSTACHE TV! →
Listening to past episodes of Jordan, Jesse, GO! on the iPod this morning and comedian Andy Daly was talking about this site of his. It seems to go well with the unusual number of m(o)ustache posts I saw in my dashboard this evening.
“Mustache TV is the hip new party game that is sweeping the nation. It’s AWESOMELY stupid.”
Bite Size Top Chef
Does anyone understand the logic or reasoning behind the one or two extremely short segments that air during episodes of Top Chef this season? Like, they come back from commercial, show a few people talking in the apartment for a minute or two and then right back to a commercial.
I’m sure there’s some logic behind it. Haven’t figured it out.
Surely, it’s somehow TiVo...

Videogum presents the Vest Viral Videos of 2008 - A MASHUP!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The Chuck-E-Cheese band performing Usher’s Love in This Club is, for some reason, the most bad ass business ever.
We’ll never forget you 2008! Oh, what? You’re not leaving just yet?
Hmm … OK … Awkward.

I don’t like this one bit. Not one bit.
I just don’t see how this doesn’t dilute NBC’s Tonight Show-brand. People are going to be confused. Well, at least those people who still haven’t figured out this whole DTV thing. Seriously, who are these people?
Certainly, this doesn’t bode well for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, either.
