You may recognize Frank Caliendo. He does a million impressions, but he always looks like… Frank Caliendo. He was a part of the low-rated MadTV sketch comedy show. Now, he’s the star of the low-rated Frank TV sketch comedy show. Lately, he’s been starring...
Between being bogged down with work and keeping up with domestic activities, like lawnmowing and updating Myspace pages, parents in the near future will be far too busy to keep their friends and families abreast of their new baby's oh-so-adorable first...
It’s about time that we dropped the facade around that button in the elevator that allows you to close the door. It’s time to rename it. It’s no longer the “door close button;” it’s the “jerk button.” You know why? Because the only times people ever actually...
Been Done Seen That (BDST, for short)(link). What exactly is Been Done Seen That? Well, it’s an ebonic syntactical construction meaning “I have seen that, already.” It’s also a website that I have started, part experiment and part proof of my skills....
Ike Turner, inventor of domestic abuse, died yesterday. Known for Tim Meadow's Saturday Night Live impression of him, Ike Turner had a hand in the creation of rock and roll. The same hand often was seen to have traveled across the face of his wife. When...
The Fresh Prince begins by expounding on the universal inability of parents to understand their children, suggesting that neither time nor location would make a difference in parents recognizing their kids’ potential to err. He suggests, however, that...
It’s almost Labor Day, which we all know means it’s time for the administration to begin rolling out new products. Since the lineup for the new fall line is not quite set in stone, I have a few prototypes at which I’d like to offer the administration...
We’ve all been there: The most stupid disagreement blows up into a full-blown argument, and then you find yourself running to the internet to figure out who was shorter - Gary Coleman or Emmanuel Lewis? Two hours, 75 google searches, and 30 IMs later,...
It is increasingly clear to me that with regard to universal healthcare in America, there are two camps: people who support universal healthcare and people who are so blinded by their political prejudices that they can’t fathom why we should have it....
Our quest to find the worst rapper of the decade is more defined by its means than the end. That is to say that the journey and discussion that comes from our hunt provides us the satisfaction and validation we need. To that end, we’re overjoyed that...
The day I began getting hits for a certain video I’d posted a link to, I knew that the video was something special. In fact, I’m still getting hits from people searching for the video: Milk and Cereal - Asian Version. I watched that video three times...
My sincerest apologies on this my thirty-third birthday, but due to an agreement between myself and the sovereign nations of Denmark, Argentina, and Freedonia, my birthday has been cancelled this year. What this means for you is that the week-long celebration...
Dahlia Lithwick’s recent piece on Connick v. Thompson is one of the most troubling things I’ve read in a long time. In Connick v. Thompson, a man who’d been on death row and was later found to have been the victim of evidence having been withheld by the...
I have a lot of reasons to brainstorm when away from the computer: blog posts, script ideas, jokes, etc…. I have never been one of the kinds of guys who has been able to use more traditional means of keeping track of ideas. I can’t handle the embarrassment...
High School...
I’ve been thinking a lot about gadget and devices, lately. God help me, I love them. If, at 3:00 am, an ad for a device that does nothing but costs $9.95 airs, then I will wait patiently for it to air again just so that I can get a better look at it....
EWTN, The Global Catholic Network, is currently airing a show titled “I Was a Teenage Darwinist.” I tuned in, hoping to see a 50’s style creature feature, where some poor Catholic teenager suddenly suffered a mutation and was forced to explain to those...
On one of those cool, clear nights typical in Southern California, Warren G is driving around, looking around for women to have sex with. He’s chosen to engage in this pursuit all alone. Nate Dogg, however, has just arrived in Long Beach, seeking Warren...
I should've mentioned this here a month ago! I've moved Midseason Replacement back onto my own servers so that I could exercise greater control over the look and feel of the site. You can find it at http://mellifluent.info. I also have launched a new...
A lot, or more accurately, none of you have been wondering where the follow up to Man with a Moustache is. It's coming. Matt Leach and I have done a lot of writing since Man with a Moustache but not much production. Matt did a music video for The Evangelicals,...
Matt Leach and I have just finished the last draft of our new short film, That's Not Funny. Now we're heading for preproduction with a goal of getting this short shot before September. At this point in the process, I'm entirely dazed. Just as happened...
If you are reading more than five blogs or news sources a day, you are in serious need of an RSS aggregator. What? No one has told you what an RSS aggregator does? Well, it’s very simple. Most blogs and news sources that publish on a regular basis push...
That’s the name of a moving company, and it’s also typical of the descriptions you might read on Craigslist while trying to find a mover. I think it should be the name of an etiquette service. Intimidation is a powerful tactic; it’s the sort of thing...
Guys, we need to talk. You need to stop kickstarting the vanity projects of the rich and famous. I saw that Kristen Bell and Rob Thomas (not the Matchbox 20 guy) raised three million dollars on Kickstarter to fund a Veronica Mars movie, a couple of days...
Washington Heights is the best reality show you haven’t watched. Remember everything you hated about The Hills? Remember the vapid young people with no drive who got to use their wealth to live lavishly and party all the time? Well, MTV’s Washington Heights...
