This is reminiscent of Jamie Kennedy’s Heckler documentary (or Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, if that’s more your cup o’ tea), but with Chris Gethard confronting someone who criticized him on IMDB.

Imagining Sean Duffy’s All Real World Cabinet [BWE]

I’m pretty sure this will be the only time you read Dominic Griffin’s name on the Internet today. THE DOMMER!

This is great. I was pumped to see that Sean Duffy was now an elected official, until I saw his face pop-up several times in Sarah Palin’s “we did it, you betcha” video celebrating all the candidates she endorsed.

Montana and Cyrus would be so disappointed.

Watching election coverage makes me wonder why cable news networks even bother interviewing officials from the “other party.” It immediately devolves into the interviewer asking the same question over and over while the party official spews rehearsed talking points and ignores the question at hand. It’s a waste of everyone’s time and a really, really annoying “game” in which all these people seem too eager to participate.

Nights like these make me wish for a day when all interviewers will pursue their subjects with the tenacity of Jeremy Paxman in the clip above.

I finally saw The Dead Set via IFC’s Halloween-week marathon. It was the perfect marriage of reality TV and zombie doomsday scenario. The bleak ending was exactly what I hoped for, and was about as opposite of what an American version would be as possible.

A great entry into the zombie canon, and one that any fan of the genre simply can not miss.

Here’s Gordon Keith (the guy who Ferned Zach Galifianakis) doing a great interview with Will Arnett.

Gordon Keith is having the Best Week Ever (is that still a thing? If that’s still a thing, Gordon Keith is definitely having it.).

STAND OUT. ABOVE THE CROWD.

I was a kid who legitly fantasized about doing things like this and genuinely thought it would make me cool.

When I was 14, I moved to a new city. I knew no one. I stayed in my room all summer and listened to Top 40 radio. I convinced myself that if I created a choreographed routine to Marky Mark’s “Good Vibrations” and then performed it in front of the entire student body at a school assembly, I’d be instantly accepted by everyone and celebrated as the coolest kid in school.

Thank god YouTube didn’t exist back then. Seriously. Thank. God.

The Jersey Shore part of last night’s South Park is getting all the attention, but the Real Housewives part is even better.

The week’s episode, “The Gang Buys a Boat,” was classic Sunny. Dennis and Mac’s reaction when (SPOILER ALERT) the babes strolled onto the house boat was what that show is all about.

“My favorite jokes are always jokes that have some real insight into the human condition, in some way more so than about some specific current event, you know? There are things that have an impact that lingers, that stick with you for a while, and a lot of it’s self-revelatory or shows a lot of honesty about yourself onstage. Like I used to do a joke… It was about this homeless guy who asked me for money and I was about to give it to him, but I stopped and thought, ‘But he’s just going to use it on drugs or alcohol.’ And then I realized, ‘Wait a minute… That’s what I’m gonna use it on!’ You know, why should we judge this guy and do that ‘go and get a job’ and all? The guy was wearing his underwear outside his pants, so I’m guessing his resume ain’t all up to date, you know?”

He was one of the good ones. I saw him perform with Dave Attell, Dane Cook and Sean Rouse at the House of Blues in Vegas (when they filmed this) and he absolutely killed.

I always hoped he’d find that elusive thing that would help him make the jump to the next level, but even without becoming the next big thing, he was one of the funniest dudes working today, with the one thing for which every comic strives: A unique voice.

Just sucks we won’t get to see what that voice would have created over the next couple of decades.

“I’m not going to quote a bunch of stats related to comedy album sales figures and how they have changed over time. I mean, give me a break, I’m not Nate Silver. Plus, most of those stats are only available through Nielsen’s Soundscan service, and they expect you to pay a boatload of cash to access their precious database. Would you hand over the equivalent of your most recent paycheck to find out how many copies of Nut Sack Rodney Carrington sold in 2003? Yeah, me neither.”
