It's going to be all bloody telepaths, isn't it?

the telepaths think they're the best people for the job .....and now you do to.

Every non-telepath X-man is basically on retainer in case Magneto or Juggernaut show up in their respective mindproof helmets.

Having seen all but the Cyclops video, I was quite pleased to see that Ororo told Chuck to go to hell and walk out. No way would she put up with that crap even for the sake of comedy. :)

Professor X sure did make it weird

I'm literally shedding tears from laughing so hard. Tears, I should say, that will harm no one.

"Professor you established this mansion as a haven for the mutants. Was this all an elaborate trap to lure us in and insult us?"
"...A little bit."

Bonus outtakes: Wolverine, Gambit.

"Why was the orphanage levelled? Because Scott didn't want to look like a dork."

I think this was a Claremont story, was it not?

But this is really Emma Frost trolling everyone with a Shi'ar hologram disguise, right?

These started out okay for me, but then went on a bit too long. YMMV.

I was hoping the Rogue one would end on a more cordial note. Like a handshake.

Funny stuff, though it makes me hope that this will be the end of the final episode (Auto-play music).

These are hilarious, but to dig into the nerd weeds for a second, Cyclops' eye-beams are not lasers. The emit force not heat. And with that, I'll slink back into the body-odor scented D&D lair from whence I came.

I am now reminded of the heartbreaking* moment when Cyclops and his absentee dad Corsair are camping, and Corsair, it becomes clear, is expecting Cyclops to light the campfire with his eyes.

"It doesn't work like that, dad."

Scott Summers' terrible need for a father figure really makes a lot more sense in context...

*FSVO heartbreaking

Calling Gambit a Blade Fag was a little unneeded, Pro. X.

Well, these made for an entertaining commute. Gambit's was the best though.

Pete Holmes also does DC as Badman:
Batman Vs. Superman
Batman Meets Two-Face
Batman vs. The Penguin (Featuring Patton Oswalt)
Batman Blows His Cover
Batman Can't Stop Thinking About Sex
Batman Says His Goodbyes
Batman vs. The Scarecrow
Batman Chooses His Voice
Good Will Batman

The Ex-Men skits along with some of the Badmen videos have been playing as part of his new late night show (full episodes available online) which also features Matt McCarthy who plays Gordon. And of course, his podcast You Made it Weird remains excellent.

(I'm kind of a fan)

The Badman sketches kill me dead every time. The "Can't Stop Thinking About Sex" one is both incredibly offensive and milk-nose-spurt inducing.

Not to mention his other part-time career of annoying Doug Benson.

Assuming I have the right guy, that's not the first time the actor playing Angel has been involved in bird-style regurgitation.

I could be wrong, but I heard that as "Blade fan".
