Iggy Azalea initially hoped to drop her debut album The New Classic last year, but in the time that’s elapsed since then, the Australia native got a chance to perfect her sound, resulting in new songs her official first single, “Work.” For the video, she tells MTV News that she drew inspiration from a classic Australian comedy and from OutKast.
Sometime post just speak for themselves. These clever and quite bitter illustrations are pretty funny. Check them out.
One of the major fears with technology of the future is malfunctions. iRobot, The Matrix, and Terminator, are all based on the fundamental principle that advanced technology is capable of terrible things when it has the wrong motives. That being said, the video below (which is fake) is one of the funniest sketches I’ve seen in a while. Thanks to ‘Rami-From-Miami’ for the link.
I’ve always been an immense fan of stand up comedy. On rainy days when people are sad, couples are cuddling, and art school girls are sitting at home drinking exotic teas, I’m normally at home, engineering music, and running a stand up comedy marathon on my big screen. It’s just something that always puts me in a better mood. Patrice O’Neal (rest in peace), became one of my favorites after his untimely death, but his comedy still makes me, and millions of others none the less. In one of his many funny bits from “Elephant In The Room” he talks about missing persons, and how it it relates (in HIS head) to race, color and beauty.
Consumer technology can evoke a mix of love and hatred in its users, making it ripe for comedy. Take smartphones, for example. We may come to feel dependent on our pocket-sized gadgets, but we may also feel embarrassed about our dependency and grow to resent the devices, as if they are sentient beings bent on making us weak or incapable of functioning independently. Hatred, is a strange emotion to feel towards a phone, a fact that is not lost on comedian Louis C.K., who calls out smartphone owners for being ungrateful for their “amazing” devices. “We have these phones that you can call in an airstrike. You can look at the top of your own head,” said the standup star during his 2011 Comedy Central special Hilarious. “We have this beautiful thing, and we hate it. I never saw a person going, ‘Look at what my phone can do!’ Nobody does that. They all go ‘This f—–g thing it sucks.’”
I had a conversation with one of my best friends about the 2012 elections, and I made some pretty logical points. During the course of that little talk, a third party asked if I was quoting comedian Carlos Mencia. After a little research, I found the spot they were talking about. Check the method below. All in all, Carlos is just happy that we have a president in office. See Carlos’ new special “New Territory,”
Around the holidays, everyone is looking for that perfect card to say exactly what they want. Some folk write their own cards, others buy them, and then there are the few that pick from e-cards and just email them to people. Until this morning, I was under the impression that the e-card sender were weak… but when I saw someecards.com my mind was blown. Regardless of the intent you may have, they have a perfectly twisted card for you. For the first time in life, I’ve seen a collection of cards that sound just like things I would write if I knew no one would read them. Check out all the 20,000 + cards they have. Brilliant.
For some people, putting their children down to rest is a precious, heart warming, bonding moment they look forward to. It can be a time when a child looks to their parent for comfort and protection, in the uncertainty of the night, or after the turmoil of a haphazard day. For other parents however, bedtime is simply a time when they clock out of their parental job, and they just need their little to one to go the f*ck to sleep for a few hours. Adam Mansbach’s book “Go The F*ck To Sleep” is almost a perfect blend between the two extremes of being sweet, nurturing, and totally fed up with your child. Now for the epic twist… It’s narrated by Samuel L. Jackson himself. Click the pic to listen. (via BuzzFeed)
My sister Christine has always been a fan of Eddy Murphy, and my generation/age group was introduced to him in movies like ”Dr. Dolittle” and other cute family friendly movies. But soon after I grew up, I realized that most famous comedians, (Eddy Murphy, Bob Saggat, Robin Williams, and the like) were much more ”Raw” than they seemed later in their careers. So seeing individuals like Eddy Murphy on stage, in the production titled ”Delirious”, was at first a shock, but now that I’ve been grown for quite some time, looking back on it is just as funny as the first time. Check the method below, and enjoy Eddy’s thoughts about racism, slavery, and everything that comes with it.
I’m not really one for cartoons, but when someone you live with keeps chanting the same thing you get a bit curious. One of my boys kept saying “I don’t mean to brag, I don’t mean to boast… But here goes some Hummus for these Mini-Toasts!”, so after hearing this no less than 90 times, I had him introduce me to the “Regular Show” on Cartoon Network. Check the clip, but if you find yourself with a bit of spare time, watch the show, it’s actually pretty funny.
On a recent episode of Family Feud, host Steve Harvey asked contestants to name, “Something that gets passed around.” Simple enough. When the straight-laced, WASPY looking dude in the tie buzzes in first, you’re more or less expecting him to say something along the lines of “the flu!” or “a birthday card for your boss!”, but his answer ends up being a little less family friendly. Watch Steve Harvey oscillate between shocked and amused after the jump.
The other day after my little incident in Emeryville with the police, I came home only to to be engaged in an annoying conversation with a disgruntled female, and afterwards the only thing I could think to bring my irritated mood, was a bit of stand up. When I say I watch stand up, I literally mean I’ll watch no less than 5 or 6 specials from 3 or 4 comedians for 6 or 7 hours while I work at home. One of the best acts I watched that day was a little piece from British comedian Ricky Gervais about Noah’s Ark. Gervais has an uncanny ability to take a simple story, and point out facts that seem like they should be obvious in a way you never really thought about before. The section of his most recent stand up (Out Of England 2) thats named “The Book Of Noah” had me cracking up the entire time. I wasn’t able to find the entire 17 minute piece, but the video below is a good chunk of Ricki Gervais’ best. Check the method below.
So I’ve seen quite a number of “awkward white guy high five’s” while working in the club industry. So when my assistant showed me this video, I only thought it right to share with as many people as I could. Check the method, and enjoy.
So in the process of starting work on my newest project (which I CAN NOT say anything about until New Years, so please don’t ask) I came across a video during a break that I’m still laughing at right now. Old School PSA’s are often misdirected, and full or sexual, racial, religious, and class oriented slurs, but this one from the mid 50′s was just perplexing both as to its purpose, and its target audience. None the less, me and my boys I’ve been working with were cracking up for a solid hour with some of the “issues” tackled in this PSA video. It might just be our sense of humor, and the vibe in the room at the moment we watched it, but check the method below, let me know what you think.
So, I’m sure I’ve preached over and over again about the my veracious nerd-ism. I’m just the type of person that loves to laugh, and I have the ability to find some of the dumbest things on earth very hilarious. That being said, I have to apologise if any of this stuff is way too corny for you. I’ve come across some “Comixed” shorts every so often and laughed to myself, but when I was chilling with Duckworth of Tokyo 24, we laughed so hard at some of these short strips that I knew I had to share some of them. And once again, you probably won’t find it too funny, but I think these are too good.

Whenever I have a stressful week, I like to watch something funny to relax while I’m working. Either stand up comedy (shout outs to Jo Koy, and Sergio Chicon) or Fresh Prince normally does the trick, but this weekend, I had to stay in and work on some new material at home Friday night, and caught a Fresh Prince marathon. After seeing the bloopers the end of every episode, I had to post some of the funniest ones. I’m not responsible for making the video, but most of the good ones on there. Click the pic to watch.
So, my boy Charlie and I had a long discussion about the top 5 commercials we crack up at every time we see them. Some of them are recent while others have aged quite a bit. But regardless of the date they were released, they all cater to my sense of humor in such a way that puts them in my top 5. (Note: The names I’ve put are not the actual names of the commercials, just the way I remember them.)
5. The iPhone4 WILL MAKE YOU PREGNANT.
4. Your Man Could Smell Like He’s Black.
3. All That Language
2. Black, Black, Black, Black, Black Odor… For 16 HOURS.
1. The Greatest Commercial Ever.
