Autolycus AKA Bruce Campbell
Used to be, my wife and I would watch Xena, Warrior Princess together on TV. The show, by itself, had some very funny moments. However both Xena and Hercules had a reoccurring character that was quite silly. No, not talking about Ted Raimi's Joxer the Mighty (though I loved him to) but the King of Thieves - Autolycus, played by B as in B-movie (or is that Burn Notice?) Bruce Campbell.
Its funny 'cause its true
So I have been an avid Adobe user for quites some time now. I've been using their tools for many years and, even though I'm not much of an artist, I've been known to use Photoshop from time to time. So when I saw someone link a video that said "Fotoshop by Adobé" I had to check it out. Even if it was bad, being an Adobe nerd I might get a chuckle or two.
Mock GOP Cyber Debate
As we enter the 2012 election year, we can already see things heating up on the political front. What does that mean fothe rest of us? Lots of great humor will be coming out over the next year that will have us LOLing and ROFLing.
Billy Quan - Enter the New Year
This episode of Mind Your Manners features Billy (played by Darrell Suto) getting ready for a New Year's Eve party. Suddenly a party crasher (John Keister) comes along and ruins his party before it even starts. Billy then proceeds to teach him some manners, Billy Quan Style.
Its getting real...funny
I've been itching to write a blog post for a while. However its been a busy time as I've moved from San Jose to Seattle. Well now I'm getting settled and I'm ready to write about something I've found funny for a few months. If you have shopped at any place similar to Whole Foods the song and video for 'Whole Foods Parking Lot' should at least have you break into a chuckle.
You're the most annoying dude I've ever seen bra Could you please move you're right in front of the Quinoa
So here's a little taste of that humor in video form [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UFc1pr2yUU&w=560&h=315] Not one to miss humorous music I also came across another song by DJ Dave and company. Following his hipster trend we saw in the previous video he follows with 'Yoga Girl'. It has some silly lyrics in it as well that a white boy like me (or anyone who would make fun of a white boy like me) can laugh at.
You wanna meditate with me? I'm like...o/uhmm
[ad#Google Adsense] Also there is some pretty crazy yoga poses in this video. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-8IPDR4Khc&w=560&h=315] And you haven't had enough of the boys of Fog and Smog there is one last thing I'd like to show you. It seems they did a little spot for Hyundai that is right in line with their same rap humor. Also, 'tis the holiday season and this video is from a holiday promotion. Nice!

I'm a big fan of humorous music. I follow Wierd Al on Twitter, he's funny there too. Do you know some other funny music I should check out. I'm all ears.
My farewell show at Comedysportz San Jose
As you may have heard, from recent posts, I am moving to Seattle for a new job. They wanted me to start October 31st but I wasn't having any of it. Not because it is Halloween, though I did love Halloween at Gaia, but because I had an improv show to do November 3rd and I wouldn't miss it for the world. I have had a great time training at Comedysportz San Jose and had a blast with my fellow improvisers so I had to see how we'd all do at a honest to goodness Comedysportz formatted show.
For your information, we did great. Also, my wife got some shaky video of most of the show. So sit back, relax and have a laugh at my expense.

BTW - 80's bands should have been my category. Next time I will not falter!
If you enjoyed this, you might also enjoy my previous show that I posted here during the summer. That is long form improv but still quite fun.
If you enjoyed this please tell all your friends by tweeting, posting to facebook, google plus, tumblr, myspace whatever. If you didn't enjoy this...shhhhhh...no one likes a whiner. ;) Seriously, I'd love to hear what you think of the show. If you have any samples of your own improv and/or stand up comedy I'd love to see them as well. Good alternatives for the game of 185? 80s bands that I should have said(this could be a long list)? Post them in the comments.
Sunday Funnies - Seattle
So a few weeks ago I made my way to Seattle on a top secret trip. I went, I saw some sites, met some friends and family and top secretly went to a job interview. I kinda hated the secrecy but things are the way they are in the job world. To make a long story short, I got the job and I'll very shortly be moving back to my old home of Seattle.
Since I think of Almost Live! when I think of comedy in Seattle (for now anyway) and I need to be reminded about how to live in Seattle the following playlist is my comedy for the week. I thought about breaking this up into several weeks instead of a playlist but the move is coming faster than I think.

I am really excited about my move but even more excited to get involved in a new improv scene. Currently, there isn't a ComedySportz in Seattle so I'll need to check out Jet City Improv and Unexpected Productions.
High-Five'n White Guys - Sunday Funnies
This past weekend I got to revisit my old home of Seattle, WA. I wanted to do a Sunday Funnies post in honor of that trip. When I think about Seattle and humor I think of one thing...Almost Live! Anyone who was in Seattle from the late 80's through the 90's probably already knows about this show. For the uninitiated, Almost Live! was a show that came on before Saturday Night Live so thus they were Almost (Saturday Night) Live. It followed a similar skit comedy format with some recurring characters.
Lately I've had people bring up high fives, especially high fiving yourself. I have shared the following video.

Do you remember Almost Live!? Did you live in a city with something similar? Do share your thoughts. I love myself some comedy and I look forward to finding more.
The Meta Picture - 50 cent vs Teddy Roosevelt
I've recently been turned on to the website themetapicture.com. They have plenty of witty, silly, thought provoking and downright wierd stuff posted there. However, I knew I could find something that was a perfect post for my first Sunday Funny in quite some time.
Here it is. A comparison of 50 Cent and Teddy Roosevelt
There you have it. Museums are historically hardcore.
