Crapstick Doodle Episode 14

Boink!

1. This video actually directly pertains to the current #1 movie in the country. Holy shit, it has potential to get as many as 200 hits!

2. Yes, I know the verbal similarity between "Negro" and "Knee Grow" isn't exactly untapped comedic ground, but I'm relatively confident this is the first time it's been used in this context. Is this because I'm an original comedy genius, or is the idea simply so fucking stupid and strained that no talented people have bothered to come up with it?

3. Totally the second one

4. I lied when I said last Friday was my last day at Cracker Barrel, but this time I'm 100% sure Thursday will be the last day I work there. I will then launch into a few weeks of self-imposed unemployment in order to visit my family, move into my newly purchased house with my girlfriend, and just generally take some time off to find some direction and somewhat get my shit together. But before any of that, I'll celebrate my unemployment by getting really hammered on Thursday on a variety or ridiculous drinks I've never had before. I'll definitely be buying a pack of Hard Creamer, and I'll try at least one Irish beer that requires a knife and fork in order to be consumed, and I demand suggestions for what else I should buy.

5. In keeping with watching shows from the 90's and early 00's that were canceled after one season, I blew through The Tick as well as The Dana Carvey Show. The Tick is pretty good. However, it's not quite as good as Action, and nowhere near as good as the fanboys calling for the ritualistic suicide of Fox executives who killed the show would have you believe. The characters are pretty awesome, particularly the sexy latino sensation Batmanuel, who is played by none other than the guy who plays Richard Alpert on Lost, but they just aren't given that many amazingly hilarious things to do. I'd give it a 7.5/10, where I was glad I watched it, but knowing it was canceled and I'll never see those characters again didn't make me want to punch walls until my hands bleed like it did with Action.

6. As for The Dana Carvey Show, it captures the spirit of Saturday Night Live: Fresh, hilarious, imaginative sketches that don't outwear their welcone, and eight shitty sketches that take an idea that wasn't that great to begin with and proceed to pound it into bloody submission for each of the good ones. You also can't feel too bad that the show was killed after 8 episodes when you consider that the opening sketch of the first episode (which followed Home Improvement) featured Bill Clinton breastfeeding puppies. I couldn't come up with something more off-putting if I was fucking trying to get a show canceled. It's interesting to watch just to see what the hell Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell were doing before The Daily Show, as they're regular cast members on this show, but I'd recommend staying the hell away for the most part.

7. For those of you keeping track at home, I just cricized someone else's comedic work in the same blog post in which I posted a comedy video where a black man gets irrationally angry, fucks a white woman, and cooks crack. No tired, offensive stereotyping here.

8. I know it's just a movie, and looking at it won't make me instantly die in real life, but I still get a little weirded out by looking at pictures of the Basilisk.

9. I finally saw Bill Maher's Religulous today, and while I see what people are saying about him beating up on easy targets and overall not saying many new or interesting things, I think his point about how terrifying it is that religious people are looking forward to the end of the world is right on, particularly since we actually have the means to end the world if we really try. Just yesterday at work a few people were discussing the (bullshit) theories that the world will end in 2012, and a hardcore Christian girl told me her theory that on December 21st, the flames of the sun will expand outward and engulf the entire surface of the planet in fire, and the end times will begin, and she told me this with the genuine excitement of a child on the day before Christmas. I'm still a little afraid to talk to her again.

10. It's obvious who Harry and Ron are in this cartoon, but I have no idea who the kid sitting next to Demetrius is supposed to be. He's whatever the Harry Potter universe's equivalent of Wedge Antilles is.
