Sarah Palin's "Debut" on SNL

Here's Tina Fey, as expected, playing the role of Sarah Palin on SNL in the first episode of this new season. Pretty spot on. All the YouTube uploads get removed pretty quickly, so here's a link to the Hulu one: Hulul

McCain's Phone Call to Sarah Palin

Admittedly his voice sounds a lot like...Bush imitating McCain's voice, but this "recorded" phone conversation of McCain's one and only phone conversation with Sarah Palin to offer her the vice presidency still cracked me up. I doubt the spirit of this whole thing isn't too far from the truth: McCain does have that infamous temper, which seems to be a personality trait of Vietnam vets, such as my father. I'd be gruff and easily irritable too if my helicopter was shot down and people were shooting at me, like MRod Senior.

NEW SHOW: NO HEROICS!

I can't wait to watch this new UK sitcom No Heroics centered around the various city superheroes who hang out in a bar. I'm stoked about the casting of Patrick Baladi ("Neil" from BBC's The Office ) as the resident jackass superhero. And also, the guy who can look 60 seconds into the future has a hysterical super power. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3zpMTKvvgk]

AMERICA'S NEXT VICE

Although the topic is a little dated by a few days, from across the pond, I like the Guardian political satire blog's introduction to their horse-picking analysis of the various candidates up for the role of vice president.

Who has the experience? Who's pretty – but not so pretty they kind of look like a slut? Whose name will fit comfortably on a bumper sticker in a garish red-white-and-blue font?

And their opinion on why McCain may choose Mitt Romney, which is because Mitt:

...sweats liquid money

It's kind of true.

ICE CREAM IS A ROCK

Ice cream is apparently an igneous rock. The science of it frankly bores me. This entry is just an excuse to share again my all time favorite Eddie Murphy joke, which happens to involve ice cream, and it is this skit that was running through my head when I ran like Usain Bolt after the Mr. Smoothie truck a few weeks ago.

You know the shit is hysterically genius when the dude telling the joke is wearing a full red leather jump suit and that isn't what's funny.

AZIZ TEXTS WITH OBAMA

I'm not surprised Aziz is tight with Obama. Anyways, he was good enough to share his text back-and-forth with Obama.

My Text Back and Forth with Obama at 3AM Last Night... Barack: I’ve chosen Senator Joe Biden to be our VP nominee. Watch the first Obama-Biden rally live at 3pm ET on www.BarackObama.com. Spread the world!

Aziz: Hey man, that’s great. I’m actually asleep, I’ll catch ya tomorrow.

Barack: No man, we gotta party! Come out!

Aziz: That’s all good, I’ll party up tomorrow.

Barack: Quit being a bitch, come out!!!!

Aziz: I’m good man.

Barack: BIden said you are a pussy.

Aziz: I’m pretty beat man, tell Joe congrats.

Barack: Come on playerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Shawties got dem apple botttom jeaannns, and da booots wit da furrrrrrrrrs….

(After 4 minutes of no response)

Biden: WAKE

Biden: YO

Biden: ASS

Biden: UPPPPPPPPPPPP

Biden: FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Aziz: Fuck! Okay! Where you guys at?

Barack: Shit. Bar closed up. We heading to get food now. Brunch/Death Race tomorrow?

Aziz: Sure.

Hahaha, brilliant. They say that politics makes for strange bedfellows, so why not Obama and Aziz?

Hm, Obama and Aziz?

Obama-Aziz 2008.

That ticket right there would have been enough to have the ol' white folk of rural Pennsylvania and such run straight into the open and waiting old, wrinkly arms of John McCain.

THE B BOYS

See what they are doing here in this video? They're are playing on the pun of "B." It's kind of terrible, but then again I am posting it here because I figure it is in someway blogworthy. Anyway, (surprise!) it's a "viral" effort for some save the bees campaign. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m5vt07W2n4]

TRIUMP THE INSULT DOG AT BON JOVI CONCERT

I don't know how I missed this, but Drew sent it to me and although it's kind of long (that's what she said), this segment of Triumph the Insult Dog at a Bon Jovi concert this year in New Jersey is pretty damn funny. The band has a pretty good sense of humor about it all considering it's a puppet taking a shit the entire time on their entire musical career. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1EEqt0ovfE]

[Thanks Drew!]

RETROSPECT: CHRIS FARLEY

New York Magazine reviews new biography of Chris Farley starting with this hysterical summary of his childhood and young adult antics. Unfortunately these traits would later, the book suggest, result in his tragic but predictable death.

Farley grew up in a wealthy suburb of Madison, Wisconsin, where he was a local legend from childhood. In church once, on the way to communion, he filled his mouth with white Tic Tacs, fell face-first into a pew, and pretended to spit out all his teeth. In math class he crawled on his belly to the front of the lecture hall, hid behind a curtain, and—just as his teacher, a retired Air Force colonel, was delivering his customary terrible joke to end the session—mooned the class. (Farley’s parents were called in, but he wasn’t punished because the authorities laughed too hard every time they tried to talk about it.) In college he was famous for his naked beer slides down the bar and for his filthy room, which other students would visit just to marvel at the squalor.  But even early on he exhibited the fatal Farley flaw: a tendency to seek approval at all costs.

BOTTLE ROCKET

HAHAHAHAHA. Seeing someone get smacked in the nuts = Always funny, unless it's me on the receiving end, which never happens because I'm Asian and have ninja like reflexes from all my time training in the dojo.
