Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor sketch

February 1st 2008 21:51

This video reminds us why Richard Pryor was the king, and that Chevy Chase used to be a pretty funny guy.

It's got offensive language, but it's all done in good humour, and I think Pryor must have knocked himself out laughing at this. The commenters are suggesting that the sketch was written by Paul Mooney, one of the original comedy writers who wrote for Pryor, In Living Colour and Chappelle's Show.

(Found on Funny or Die)

A dance lesson by James Brown

January 24th 2008 21:26

Whew - I don't know where they dug this up from. A time capsule, launched into space, then returning to Earth in a fiery blaze?

James Brown used to be a major dancer, but, when I started listening to his music, his best years had flown by, leaving him angry and drug-addled. We've all seen interviews with James mumbling away incoherently, and that was part of the charm.

I saw him live in concert in Ottawa, when he came for his Canadian tour in 2000. He wasn't so spry then, being over 70 years old, but he still put on a decent show. Not a great show, by any stretch of the imagination, but he pumped out some good tunes.

Unfortunately, he needed to take a couple of breaks... he'd scream out 'Sex Machine' and 'Get on the Good Foot', but then would retreat from the stage at the bridge, letting a bikini babe come up on stage to dance up a storm. It worked - I was distracted.

Back in tha day, though, James was the master of showmanship. He was kind enough to give us a hard-to-follow lesson:

Bill Gates' Last Day at Microsoft

January 7th 2008 23:12

Bill Gates arrested mug shot jail picture

This is hilarious... Bill Gates gave the keynote speech this week at CES 2008, announcing that he was retiring as Chairman of Microsoft (but he'll still be on the board).

In addition to the speech, there was a skit played on the screen that showed Bill's last day at Microsoft, poking fun at Gates... it's an unusually funny side of Gates, self-deprecating, using a lot of star cameos to poke fun. We're talking Jay-Z, Bono, George Clooney and more

Indian version of Sweet Child O' Mine

January 7th 2008 05:43

It's the ubiquitous party song from the late 80s/early 90s - Guns N' Roses put out this song, Sweet Child O' Mine, and it lit up the radio, with the screeching of Axl Rose and that liquidy guitar playing from Slash.

It was written about Axl's then-wife, Erin Everly, niece of one of the Everly Brothers, and the signature opening guitar riff was played by Slash as a joke. Who knew

Paul Rudd on the Daily Show

January 4th 2008 21:40

Paul Rudd is the charismatic actor you've seen everywhere, especially recently, since he's been added to the close-knit Apatow & Friends gang, starring in most of Judd Apatow's comedies.

He was in "Knocked Up" and "The 40-Year-Old Virgin". He was Mike Hannigan on Friends, as Phoebe's boyfriend. He was in "Clueless". "Anchorman", "Cider House Rules" and "The Great Gatsby

Spin - a short film about destiny and turntables

November 25th 2007 22:45

This short film from Double Edge Productions is incredibly well-made for a short and has won several awards.

It's not too ingenious, treading some predictable ground, but the beauty is in the execution

Ricky Gervais in Africa

November 23rd 2007 18:34

He's done The Office and Extras, but Ricky Gervais still hasn't jumped the shark, using his notorious fame to poke further fun of his pudgy faced humour...

... in this short, Ricky films a humanitarian report from Africa, showing an extraordinary depth of humanity. Ah, Mr. Gervais, you are a great and noble person

November 4th 2007 22:00

Another entry in the nearly-spent genre of 'Chubby Kids Making Fools of Themselves', is the Ninja Turtle Boy, a, predictably, chubby kid who paints himself green and prances around with a nunchuck to emulate a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

Rudd vs. Howard '08 election rap battle

October 30th 2007 03:17

Sydney comedy outfit, Axis of Awesome, put this brilliant satirical video, a mock-rap battle between prime-minister hopeful, Kevin Rudd', and wannabe Commonwealthy kingpin, John Howard.

Most white-boy comedy rap is irritating to watch, and worse to listen to, but the lyrics combined with the bad-ass video make this just delightful

Ah, this just makes me feel good all over.

Tired of CGI? Me too. What better way to exercise your imagination than by using the plasticine world of claymation
