Ancient Comedy Jedi

There’s a reason that Conan O’Brien yawns at the sight of Tom Cruise, but gets all jittery when in the presence of Jonathan Winters.

Hired Goons

An old Fry and Laurie sketch that may be more prophetic than they anticipated.

The Surprising Adventures of Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

Monty Python meets the Kids in the Hall meets the Venice beach boardwalk. By the way… this is the tune that Digby is muttering to himself.

Fear not, Earthlings!

We come in peace?

We come in peace?

Okay.  Obviously Olympic mascots aren’t something to which people pay a lot of attention.  But if you’re hosting the Olympics in, say, 2012, and you’ve already had a few issues with some of your, ahem, graphic design choices, wouldn’t you make sure you had vetted everything properly before unveiling these?

Off the Hook Haiti Benefit Rockomedy Concert

Last night I went out to LA’s Wiltern theater to witness a once in a blue moon assortment of talent assembled by Jack Black and co. to raise money for Haiti earthquake survivors.

I recorded some fantastically washed-out grainy video in an attempt to share this experience with you. Not only do the following clips give you a sense of the performances, they also recreate the crowd’s futile attempts to see anything amidst a standing room only mob. In any case, enjoy the festivities:

A truly unexpected performance here from the WWF’s Iron Sheik.

Here’s the Shins’ James Mercer covering Neil Young’s Don’t Let it Bring You Down

Genius comedian Patton Oswalt regaled the crowd with his angry musings before an Aimee Mann set.

He then brought the house down with his Yoshinoya Beef Bowl routine.

Here’s Ben Stiller vamping on stage with a mysterious figure referring to himself as ‘Fabreeze Fabreeze.’

A vindictive Stiller returned during Tenacious D’s closing act with a giant drum set…

All in all, a very compelling night of entertainment.

Stacey: Hey Tracy! How was your weekend?

Tracy: Hey girl! It was good. I saw a movie Saturday night.

Stacey: Awesome! What did you see?
