Comic Kurt Braunohler successfully raised $6,000 on Kickstarter so he could hire a plane to write a joke above LA. The result: See photo above.
I'm also a fan of Kurt's "Stop" sign and his Vine remakes of famous movie scenes.

Socrates and Glaucon on The Home Shopping Network.
SOCRATES: But an ordinary mop will not do this?GLAUCON: No, Socrates. Look what a hassle it is for me to use! And none of the stains are coming off!
SOCRATES: Yes. It is quite impossible to get one's kitchen satisfactorily clean with an ordinary mop. But one could add Dirt-Fighting Technology™ to an ordinary mop, could he not?

Yes, Starcraft is so huge in Korea that it can get you wild applause from an adoring audience and get you laid.

Does anyone tell a better story than George Carlin? I submit that no one can. I bet George woulda had something really good and hilariously insightful to say about 2009.

Drew Carey comes face to face with his doppleganger on Price is Right. They proceed to try and eat one another. Okay, maybe not. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALaqGjx8M5I&fmt=18]
I thought the movie "Cliffhanger" would have a more ambiguous ending.

Two sides of the same Alaskan commemorative coin from The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brian honoring Quittin' Palin's resignation.
Louis CK sits down and revisits with TIME his now YouTube famous hilarious interview with Conan. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjNgNDZzH5o&fmt=18]
Colbert live-twittering while live interviewing Twitter co-founder Biz Stone. SO META MY BRAIN EXPLODED.
Watch the hilarious interview.

Joseph Tartakovsky wrote a great essay in the New York Times on the Rodney Dangerfield of comedy, the ever groan inducing "inglorious pun." It just gets no respect. Read it. It's a great way to pass the time...
It's kind of a no-brainer, but which do you prefer? In other words, it's a battle between helicopter and welfare. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AO1KsU1rG7s&fmt=18]

Little known (weird) MRod family fact: My grandfather was a clown whose visage appeared on the cover of Parade magazine.I guess this is a little old, but it's still funny. MadTV spoofs "So You Think You Can Dance" by featuring a dance off between Obama and McCain (played hilariously by Bobby Lee).

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.
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]
