So, it The Daily Show is to be believed (and I have no reason to doubt them), this year the White House Correspondants Dinner had that edgy comedian Rich Little. Doing Jimmy Carter impersonations. I wonder why they played it so safe this year...
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

Experimental TV: Comedy
This thread is part of an experiment to determine Buffistas' interest in television discussion. It will close on June 1st, 2007, after which there will be a brief skirmish to sort out what we want to do next. This thread is for discussion of all comedy, regardless of airing station. [NAFDA]

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I love the Giant Head of Brian Williams on TDS. Genius.
Slap Bet is probably the pinnacle of recent sitcom television. I can't remember if HIMYM is available on iTunes, but it's one thing I would love to carry around with me on my iPod all the time.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I love the Giant Head of Brian Williams on TDS. Genius.His first appearance on TDS (Nov. 30, 2004!!!) is still on my tv. It's my bulletproof cheer up. I make anyone who visits watch. Often twice.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

The Robin Sparkle video is pretty genius also.
Emmett totally wants to be Barney when he grows up.

That's...a little frightening.
Of course, it would be worse if it was the big purple dinosaur he was talking about.

No, he hates that Barney.
Emmett already is a bit like Barney. He's got heart, but he's also got the ego and the self-interest.

Oh, finally saw the Colbert/Penn metaphor-off. Don't have anything to say that hasn't been said, but it was really funny.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
This thread has made me start to catch up with The Office. I just watched nearly all of season two today. Pam! Jim! Jim! Pam! Best ending evah.
Season three catch up tomorrow.

Like I said, I love that she called her mama. Most TV people are incredibly estranged from their families(Well, except for "Raymond", but that's...pathology disguised as warm affection.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Of course she called her mom! Her mom is all, "Which one is Jim?"
