I knew the Argentinian pipesman would come up again.

Sunday, February 22nd, 2009

This dude has been found by the aggregation websites. The more retarded among them think this man makes fetish videos. This is not devotion to a fetish, but to serious comedy:


Suppose for one second that he was actually making these videos for fetish purposes; do you know of any porn stars that work that much? Know anyone that smokes that much? He hasn’t even been a youtube member for one year. That means he’s making 20 or more videos per day. To suffer the annoyances of youtube through even 100 videos shows dedication; to have created thousands of videos is on the level of something that happens only in William Gibson novels.

He subscribed to my youtube channel a few months ago. His videos are endless and hilarious and mysterious. I didn’t say anything until now because I thought it was a weird dream I had.

He’s one of today’s most viewed comedians on the site now.

The most important attack ad of the year.

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

This election is about serious issues. Seriously, it’s so fucking serious that I am letting myself put videos of two different sizes here at the same time. This is atrociously serious.

It’s time to get serious.

Oh, and we can’t forget Bill Clinton’s endorsement of Barack Obama:

/update .sig “CHECK US OUT ONLINE”

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

I have updated my sig to increase heavy webs traffic. Tubes be slightly lubed and warmed and damned. Click it to see the not-crushed-by-wordpress sized image.

check us out online

This will increase immediate revenue streams, which should offset the recent effects on the household of the current mortgage crisis and stumpfucking recession.

Not really. This is not-for-profit. Also, the website just got vandalized back to normal. Graphs were taking nosedives.

National Emergency: New Yacht Rock.

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

The horrors of Jimmy Buffett are thwarted in the holy-shit-they-really-did-it new episode of Yacht Rock. It was such a goddamn surprise, there was an announcement.

Featuring Vatche Panos as a drug user! JD Ryznar and Hunter Stair live up to the Yacht Rock name. What could happen next? Is it a one shot to tease the masses, or a sign of continuance? Proper link.

Too bad about Jason Lee, especially considering his recent career choices.

adult swim round-up January’s end 2008.

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

New shows on adult swim this week are insane.

  • Aqua Teen Hunger Force seems to be going on this odd journey with Carl and this new landlord guy, and the food people are nowhere to be found (they got cocooned I think). Carl is lured by the new neighbors, giving the episode the title “Sirens”. Lots of blood and innuendo.
  • Tim and Eric erupts into a complete civil war. Steve Brule does a wine tasting. Full-on classic level of blood and puke. Honestly, WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN?
  • I gave up the on the Boondocks a couple weeks ago. It was a very disappointing decision to have to make.
  • Squidbillies is inhumane, excessive, all over the place, on fire, genuinely unpredictable, and covered in hair. uh, all to save Rusty from dyslexia I think. Lots of blood and burns.
  • That Crook’d ‘Sipp was classically southernly uncool, but it’s a pretty interesting pilot with great art that I missed a while back.

All shows this week contain seriously fucking traumatic injuries. Lot of boobs.

Not the best week but certainly an odd theme. I am getting convinced almost completely that they do coordinate the creation of these shows to the small degree necessary for them to share overarching themes.

Do not watch this video from the internet. Don’t.

Channy Awards 2007.

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007

The Channel101 Incredibly Prestigious Achievement Awards happened. They’re pretty good picks. I missed a couple things and it’s awesome to have them dropped in my lap.

If you don’t know what Channel101 is (or Yacht Rock or Classroom), or didn’t know what the Channies are, Channel101 is a democratic faux television station model of video production that is screened in Los Angeles monthly and the Channies are its incredibly prestigious awards.

Yeah, that’s a serious Tim and Eric explanation of Channel101. Seriously. Channel101 was created by the authors of my favorite comic book ever.

The Beards in Space Principle.

Friday, December 7th, 2007

This sketch from The State was the first time I had been made aware of the idea of pushing a nonsense argument beyond its own limit:

This method has come under frequent use the past couple of years under what has become the insane modern umbrella of serious comedy.

With some comedy we are just past the point of jokes, where a joke can even be past itself, and this is that case. The real emphasis lies in drawing attention to the argument despite its pointlessness. This is a serious matter. This is acting; there’s an art form in excessively pigheaded lying.

Seem familiar? If you work in a bureaucratic environment, this crap tends to happen in real life! Politics? Watch a modern debate and tell me those guys are pushing lies to the point of comedy. They use this beyond circular reasoning crap as a debate tactic. It’s post-ironic.

This week’s adult swim roundup.

Saturday, December 1st, 2007

The Boondocks has become almost a frustratingly dumb show replicating finally in style and writing what it always replicated in visual design: shitty anime. This week was much, much better than the last, but the show is still very shallow. It’s a fun ripoff of the The Mighty Ducks ripping off The Bad News Bears or Slapshot or South Park or something.

Xavier’s not a big thinker this week, but it’s also not as gratuitously gratuitous. Some interesting ideas, but a lot of garbage that some people might accidentally take seriously.

The hook with Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job is that anything is fair game as long as it could possibly be considered funny by anyone. Or maybe it’s an inside joke. Or maybe it’s performance art (complete with everyday people performing in weird ways) blended into video art (complete with shitty vhs effects) and something worked. Steve Brule rules also. This week’s is about dolls but this clip isn’t (pull the timer to :50 to see what I’m saying):

video removed!

And Garth Marenghi was a weird, slight letdown.
