Fun Friday: Comedy Hour

I just realized we haven’t done a fun friday since mid December. It’s gotten way too serious around here. I’m sorry about that. So we are going to rectify that by posting our favorite comedy routines (youtube embeds or anything else that will work in the comment thread).

Here’s my contribution. I recently saw Jason Mantzoukas in Sleeping With Other People and he just cracks me up. So I spent some time on YouTube just now looking for something good from Jason. This bit about making french press coffee is spot on and is why I never make coffee that way.

So now I’ve made my contribution to fun friday. It’s time for yours.

        Happens a bunch of times in 8 Mile. Great movie.

        1. jonathan hegranes

          So good… I need to watch that again. Soon.

        On the floor, not the feet…FTW.

    If a man can make a satire on the Holocaust and win an Academy award, he is quite talented. Here is a hilarious clip of Roberto Bernini” a night on earth.” He is a taxi driver confessing to a cardinal and it’s freaking hilarioushttps://m.youtube.com/watch…

    Louis CK on “Everything’s Amazing but Nobody’s Happy” cracks me up… (on Conan)https://www.youtube.com/wat…

    1. Matt Zagaja

      I downloaded and watched his special that was released on the website earlier this week. Good stuff!

      1. Sebastien Latapie

        I did as well, didn’t love as much as some of his older material, maybe I should give is a second shot

    2. lksugarman

      About that word “amazing”…when did everything in our daily lives become amazing? Oh, that fried egg is amazing…that French press coffee is amazing…. At the same time, as Louis CK pointed out, what is really, truly amazing is discounted as something that is just a part of daily life.So, what’s the word you use when you’re absolutely, truly amazed today? And, do you know the difference anymore?Not to be totally serious, here’s the 10 reasons geeks make better lovers – http://archive.wired.com/cu

        Guilty as charged. Trying to curb use of the word “amazing” but how I love it! Meanwhile, the step up word is “brilliant.”

      2. William Mougayar

        That’s an amazing comment 😉

      ^ An instant classic. I have this theory that because Louis C.K. got his start as one of the original writers for Conan, he does new material on Conan’s show as a way to pay it back. Here’s another awesome clip of Louis on Conan:https://www.youtube.com/wat

        Most excellent!

    RIchard Jeni’s “Card Table Dating”. Unfortunately, he, like many great comedians (Robin Williams, Greg Giraldo), fought demons and eventually couldn’t anymore. But, his comedy lives on – he was one of my personal favorites.http://youtu.be/SsxQLYjwN2g

    Loved the French Press routine. Came across Sebastian Maniscalco this past summer; here’s one of his routines about checking in at the airport.https://www.youtube.com/wat

    Was about to post Russell Peters…but Bill MecNeely took my clip 🙂

    I love the Onion and recently was cracking up reading a piece about the snowstorm. It was even better when Mayor DeBlasio did a dramatic reading of it:https://soundcloud.com/nycm

    This blew up last week but worth throwing in the mix for Super Bowl weekend… NFL Bad Lip Reading strikes again: https://m.youtube.com/watch

      I was going to add this. Funniest thing I’ve seen in a while.

      I’m a big fan of these too! Here’s last years for anyone who hasn’t seen it: https://www.youtube.com/wat

    Greg Giraldo was a comedic genius. RIPhttp://youtu.be/6kr6R-BRKy0

    A bit old school now, but this MST3K short “Why Study Industrial Arts” is my absolute favorite. Toooool operator. https://youtube.com/watch?v

    1. Kirsten Lambertsen

      MST3K!!!!

    Love this. Here’s my twin son, Thaddeus, showing us this morning how to properly complete a plate of cheesy, creamy grits. Happy fun Friday!

    Hi there, long time reader, first time caller. What better opportunity than a Friday to express my love for West Wing?http://youtu.be/cGXp34c_o48

    This is funny. I make a french press everyday and will never go back.Here’s Joe Mande (writer on Parks & Rec) with a great joke about the movie “Wild.”http://youtu.be/tYglp5clXDE

      Man on the moon was one of the most underrated films ever.

    For us golfers here’s a Robin Williams classic. Caution : strong language.m.youtube.com/watch?v=pcnFb…

    1. David Semeria

      Superb

    2. James Hare

      Speaking of golf, after watching this scene dozens of times, it still cracks me up, which is nice… https://www.youtube.com/wat

      1. Michael Pratt

        I agree. And I believe that that entire bit was ad lobbed by Bill Murray and wasn’t actually part of the script. Or is that just an urban legend?

    Out of all the amazing Peter Sellers choices — eg. Gentleman please! No fighting in the war room — I chose this one, 1 minute.https://www.youtube.com/wat

      Panther movies were classic.

    1. Donna Brewington White

      Agree.

    1. Kirsten Lambertsen

      Well done!

  25. panterosa,

    This made my night last night. Not a comedy routine, but Richard Dawkins reading his hate mail. Beware, profanities abound, because scientists seem to terrify some people to the point of stupidity.https://www.youtube.com/wat

    So my repetoire is fairly limited to what my husband or kids show me and this was popular at our house a few years ago. Looked at it just now and it cracked me up… once again.Eddie Izzard — Cake or Death (Lego Version)http://youtu.be/rZVjKlBCvhg

    1. Guyes

      Fucking silly brit joke

  27. Donna Brewington White

    Speaking of which, I bought an old fashioned percolator recently for parties. Coffee was AMAZING! (sorry @lksugarman:disqus, habits die hard) But for everyday, personally, I think a french press is da bomb.

  28. David Semeria

    Brilliant Carl. Though I doubt my people will understand from this clip just how smart JV actually is.
