My daughter’s heroes (other than Dora and Boots). My oldest says that the Power Rangers could take these punks.

PS: no, it’s not broken, it really repeats. Just. Like. Tivo.

The 50 Greatest Comedy Sketches, as picked by Nerve / IFC. I may not agree 100% (I noticed the distinct lack of muppets, and thought perhaps there should be a yardapult in there somewhere, but I may have overlooked some favs)

Anyway, have a look. Many have youtube style video goodness to refresh your memories. What’s your favorite funny sketch?

Local boys (sorta, 100 miles from here).

Lyrics and language will offend many, definitely not safe for work (have headphones!)

“Is that a guy?”

“He sounds more like a man on the radio.”

“Yuck.”

His brother is always the crossdresser, but he wasn’t in the room at the time…

Dueling televisions, both cranked up LOUD because their owners cannot hear.

One on Fox News, the other on CNN, during prime time.

Especially exciting games like the playoffs (usually).

But I can not stand the freakin’ bear commercials where the idiots pretend to talk to coaches, which are clipped from actual press conferences. If I didn’t already not drink their beer, I would stop. They’re that bad.

They need you at the Superdome.

Hurry. Please.

update: my comments on the game? Shit.

I can so relate, says the ass…
