| I am a performer at Legoland California, a place where kids come to play and parents come to spend exorbitant amounts of money to prove to their kids that they love them. But the ones the kids really love is we the performers. After every show I am greeted by a swarm of the swing-set set throwing down high fives and throwing up peace signs for picture after picture. A few days ago, I was playing Fire Chief Stern, the head honcho at Fun Town Fire Hall. A kid I'd place around 6 years old asked me to come to his birthday party. I asked him where he lived, and he said Wassington (incorrect spelling intentional). I told him I would if I could, but I couldn't leave Fun Town or there would be no one to fight the fires. He was visibly disappointed however understanding. Just at that moment a fly buzzed in my ear and zoomed in front of my face. I attempted a swat. The little boy's face scrunched up as he asked "What was thaaat?!" "Just a fly," I replied. "Oh," he said, "Flies eat poop." | | |

| I'm not one of those people whose up on the latest YouTube clip that everyone has seen. I don't have much use for it. It is fun to sit around a laptop with friends and share our favorite clips, but I think it's more fun to create our own moments. YouTube has become a kind of inside joke that anyone with a computer and internet access can, well, access. On the one hand, I guess it's "special" to have the whole world be so connected, that some little Korean kid and I are laughing at the same idiots walking into sliding glass doors. But on the other hand, it's almost ironic how boring it is to spend the time I have with my friends laughing at idiots on the computer instead of at eachother. My friends are my idiots, and I treasure that. The one thing I do love on YouTube is clips of stand-up comedians (most recently Louis C.K, Lewis Black and Demetri Martin), but only when I'm alone. It's true, alot of comics are funnier than my friends, but I can't be with them all the time. Plus, watching comedy makes can make your life better even when you're not watching it. Good comedians can be just as insightful about life as poets and philosophers, only more entertaining. Good material can clue you into the nuances of daily living as well as broad and complicated politics. Furthermore, the best reason in my opinion to watch a lot of stand-up is it gets you thinking like a comedian. Even if you don't think you're funny, the more comedy you watch, the more you'll appreciate it, and then you'll want to be like the comedians, and before you know it, you'll find yourself thinking like a comedian. Everyday events become fodder for the kind of banter you've always dreamed about. It's just science. Smart funny makes you smarter, funnier. Telling your friends about the dumb stuff people do on YouTube will never be as funny or as rewarding as being able to relate a particularly hilarious piece of stand-up. | | |
| I don't believe in capital punishment, which is why I try really hard at Hangman. | | |
| The Daily Show is really good. I wish it was on every night.
The Colbert Report is really good as well. I wish it was on every night and twice on Sundays.
How is it SNL and MadTV have all week to write their shows and can't do in an hour and a half what The Daily Show does 4 nights a week? (That obviously being "make me laugh")
Not that I know what I'm talking about, but I think Jon Stewart is the most important comedian in America.
One thing I finally picked up on is that sometime over the last couple of years, The Daily Show ceased to have "celebrities" as their primary guests. I don't exactly know when this started, I only know that I'm usually surprised now when the interviewee is an actor. More often than not the guest is an author. I swear I've wanted to read every book I've seen on The Daily Show. In fact, I'm reading one now. If it's not an author, it is an important political figure like John McCain or John Bolton. The same goes for The Colbert Report.
At this time I'd like to officially jump on the Upon Further Review, Dane Cook Sucks Bandwagon.
I'm not sure if Dane Cook really does suck, but the Bandwagon has been picking up speed lately and I want to get it on before it gets away from me.
Finally, what are tags? | | |
