It happens after you've ran out of things to talk about with your partner, after you get your sh*t together and have talked about plans for a family. It is time to get engaged, send out the invitations, and start planning the wedding. NSFW audio

How to Eat a Watermelon

catch as catch can — Mon, 20 Aug 2012 03:03:30 -0800

How to Eat a Watermelon Tutorial (SLYT) was made by Tom Willett, a 74 year old semi-retired comedian, musician, and actor. Willett's personal website, Comedy Parade, includes style and character-building tips for budding comedians, interspersed with tributes to comedians he admires. This recent interview with Willett comes off the heels of the watermelon eating tutorial video's viral success.

When asked why he continues to film videos of his skits, comedic news broadcasts and songs instead of “retiring,” he said it‘s because he hasn’t changed from the 14 year old who decided to throw all of his ambition into being an entertainer. “I’m basically the same person I was when I was 14 — inside. I haven‘t changed what I like and I never do what you’re supposed to do. I do what feels right.”

[NSFW, TW] Sex House is an Onion webseries about six sexy Americans locked in a house for a reality show about getting nasty, but by the end of the first night things start to get terrible. Think No Exit meets Black Mirror (previously), it's a scathing satire of American sexual attitudes that's also amazingly suspenseful.

Irish Olympic Sailing Commentary & the Hardy Bucks

flex — Wed, 08 Aug 2012 09:21:07 -0800

"Over in Ireland, mention Chris ‘The Viper’ Tordoff of the Hardy Bucks, and everyone immediately thinks comedy. But when Tordoff’s mock-commentary of Olympic sailing went viral" (video, 3 1/2 min.) "most international media failed to get the joke." Often compared to the Canadian hit TV show Trailer Park Boys (previously here & here), Hardy Bucks is an Irish mockumentary TV show "set in a small town in West Ireland, following the misadventures of five hapless men down on their luck, trying to leave their backwards rural hometown and attempt to reach Galway to sample modern civilization". As a series of largely improvised webisodes, it went on to win the 2009 Storyland competition held by Irish national broadcaster RTÉ, which then commissioned nine TV episodes (two seasons) and a Xmas special. "The Hardy Bucks is based on the misadventures of four disaffected lads from the fictitious ‘Castletown’ in the backwaters of County Mayo, Ireland. Scheming, drinking, work-shy procrastinators, the Hardy Bucks are daft lads from the country – the epicentre of their universe – tormented by their nemesis and small-town hash dealer, Viper Higgins. Written by Martin Maloney (Eddie Durkan), Chris Tordoff (Viper) and Mike Cockayne, Hardy Bucks was commissioned by RTE after it won the www.storyland.ie competition. Their 1st series received record viewing figures for a new show on RTE 2 – as a result they were re-commissioned for the Christmas Special. Since then Hardy Bucks has aired its 2nd series which they have just received an IFTA Nomination for ‘Best Entertainment Show’."* nine webisodes & a Xmas short on the official Hardy Bucks YouTube channel (episodes 3 through 9 were the six entries in the Storyland competition) ------------------------------------------------------ *episode 1, parts one & two *episode 2, parts one & two *episode 3, parts one & two *episode 4, in full *episode 5, parts one & two *episode 6, parts one, two, & three *episode 7, parts one, two, & three *episode 8, parts one, two, & three *episode 9, parts one, two, & three *Christmas in Castletown, in full 4 mini-episodes (about 4 1/2 min. each): one - two - three - four RTÉ season 1, three episodes: *episode 1, parts one & two *episode 2, parts one & two *episode 3, parts one & two Tordoff (in character as The Viper) plays Modern Warfare 3 & offers commentary: Videos of MW3: Paris - MW3: London - MW3: Africa - MW3: Russia more recent (2011) videos: *Lads of Summer webisode *No One Shouted Shtop! webisode *Hardy Bucks Guide to St. Paddy's Day

Funny or Die has gone back to its archives and presents the FOD 1986 lineup. Among the eight shows available, genre fans are probably going to be most excited about getting a chance to see Malibu Days: Nights and Cop-Puter, but I was personally more excited at the fact they exhumed Buildings.
