Blogs about: Humor

A priest, a monk and a rabbi walk into a bar and sit next do a doctor. He listens to them tell a joke. “That was very humerus!” he says… Er, yeah, not very funny. So, no, we’re not quitting our day jobs. Hmm, how about we let let one of the masters speak, shall we? (*Cue Seinfeld theme song*) “To me the hardest part of being a professional football player is on the one hand you’re a millionaire. On the other, they blow a whistle and you have to run around after a football.” Now that’s funny. As Steve Martin said: “Comedy is the art of making people laugh without making them puke.”

In Which I Review 5 Improv Chairs
Yes Andrew

I’m going to review improv chairs. But before we crank up that excitement, a little background: I love the website Fiverr.com. The premise is simple: You pay $5 to someone who gives you something in return. Most of the offerings are either bizarre (one girl will write any word you want on her lower lip, take a high-rez pic of it, and send you the photo) or downright lame (“I will give you 50 Facebook likes for $5!”). But some of the deals are fantastic, including the artist who made this illustration of my face for 100 nickels: So anyway, I briefly got addicted to buying strange things on this strange site. And I decided that my main improv troupe, MANDINKA, needed a logo. So I bought one from one of the higher-rated logo designers on the site. The seller had me fill out a questionnaire so he could get a better idea of “what I’m all about.” I tried to convey the spirit of improv, of what I was looking for—e.g., something fun and playful without being cheesy or old-school, something tha

Ladies Who Lunch
Wine and Cheese (doodles)

Photo: Etsy.com There were a dozen or so of us in the park, picnicking under a glorious Danish sun.  All female, varying ages, enjoying an azure sky; the kind of blue you only see in Copenhagen and only when you are very, very lucky.  The kind of Danish summer sky you dream about.  Prosecco was poured, toasts were made, sweets were nibbled, savouries savored. Yesterday, we were ladies who lunch. Naturally, we immediately stripped down to our filmy, flimsy undergarments and had a pillow fight.  We fell about, squealing and giggling like naughty school girls, bare flesh glistening in the summer sun, downy feathers raining down upon us, until we fell, breathless, into a big girly pile and napped, head to belly, in the warm, dappled light. Of course we didn’t.  But I swear to God that’s what every heterosexual male thinks when he hears “I went out for lunch with the girls”.  Probably even the homosexual ones too.  Maybe in an icky way, I don’t know.  But menti

What Makes a Comedy Good?
The Secret Geek

Inspiration for this came because I’m having the hardest time attempting to write a comedy story. This genre is turning out to be difficult. Also, the other night I watched Movie 43 and was wicked upset I spent the money renting it. (Did someone actually like this movie?) These things made me question what makes a comedy good? And how is it that there are some things that make some people laugh and others not? Some people think that it’s because they are more mature or they are at a intellectual level that some things aren’t funny anymore. I’ve met people who don’t even want to watch a clip of something silly. “It’s going to ruin my brain…” or “God, how can you laugh at that?” It honestly puzzles me because then what does that say about me? I’m the type of person who will watch the Colbert Report and laugh or some political/social comedy and laugh at that too, but I’m also the type of person that will laugh at Jackass or any silly comedy. I don’t mind if a movie is crass or if it

It’s over
Tabby Cat's Blog

So despite the play being about everyone dying we actually had a lot of fun with it. I mean there was probably more drama off stage than on but that happens every time youth theatre do a show! Backstage is always the best bit! The jokes, rumours and chocolate eating! So now it is over. All those weeks of rehearsals for two nights. I didn’t get in until 10:30 last night and didn’t sleep till midnight and then I woke up at 4:30 in the morning. So I’m a bit tired but I am not going to bed early tonight. Not when The Apprentice is on!!! It’s another quick one but I have a lot on my mind and am busy panicking about stuff! I have table tennis tomorrow so everyone can laugh at my lack of co-ordination. I am far too violent for table tennis, I don’t think it’s my sport. So yeah my mind is already drifting to other matters so I shall go now… Goodbye Tabby

Men’s Wearhouse Guilty Of Testicular Discrimination
COLDTONES

Men’s Wearhouse fires founder George Zimmer; no reason given – latimes.com. Oh there’s a reason. My sources have confirmed to me that which I have speculated about for years… George Zimmer has 3 testicles. His deep voice and wall rumbling gurble was simply too much man-ness for the Board of Directors over at Men’s Wearhouse to stomach. Each day in his presence was a slap face reminder that they don’t know the true meaning of having bass in your voice. This is outrageous. Remember when Gilbert Gottfried got canned as the voice of the AFLAC duck? They’ve never fully recovered. Who will they replace him with a rudimentary baritone?  Foul Ball! Poor Form!

The Meat of the Matter
Existing In Transition

I have a personal rule on this project. Not too many entries in a row where it’s super depressing sadness. Which is why I’ve struggled this week. I’ve been too tired and worn out to write, and bang out some humor up in this bitch that I’ve just held off. I do have so much I COULD SAY though, fodder from my recent trek home to DC was just a cesspool of material. So I might just change up the format a bit and get to the meat of the matter here and hit this entry with a few of the lessons bestowed upon me from my visit back to my roots. DC is my soul city. I love my home, I think it’s beautiful. It’s vibrant, smart, fun, and full of opportunity. However, I also call it my domestic violence relationship. It’s always waiting to beat the shit out of me when I come home for a visit, because after all that’s where my dysfunctional family lives. This trip I learned…. 1. Some family members never change. You don’t even need to speak to

E3 2013: Ubisoft Media Briefing: News From “La Maison de Wow” Is Always Good…
"DESTROY ALL FANBOYS!"

Like their DRM policies or not, you simply can’t ignore Ubisoft’s power in the game industry. A stable of hits, some always surprising new IP popping up seemingly out of thin air (the company KNOWS how to keep a secret and reveals only when necessary) and even some film projects in the works based on some of their best games, it’s clear that they’ll be around for a while. Much of what’s here is so impressive that I’d bet we’ll see some sort of Ubisoft channel coming to future consoles dedicated solely to the companies offerings all playable on whatever you have getting content into your home. Granted, should the internet die thanks to some hack or country to global-scale event, welp… there goes the neighborhood, I suppose and guess what, we’re all starring in at least two of Ubisoft’s upcoming games. I’ll let you peruse this event video to find out which two…

First Time Holidays
F is forr...

 Sex and sunburn. Holidaying together for the first time. If you’ve been waiting on those tables or flicking blue tack at the clock in the office hoping it might make time go quicker, or even been in the lab with your goggles on just to get the pennies together, you might have saved up enough for a little holiday this summer. And if you’re planning to go with your other half, it can be the most amazing sexual time of your life, or you can arrive back in the UK ready to poke your girlfriend’s eyes out with the large novelty crayon she thought to buy you as a ‘fun’ gift. This will probably be the first time you’ve spent a lot of time together, just the two of you, with no distractions at all and no friends around that you can cling to and pretend to talk about parrots just to get away. Whether you go to a beach chalet or a hotel on the edge of a volcano, it’s just the two of you, and many couples don’t think about this before they head off to paradise. The first thing you have to do befo

Best job in the house.
Scot Drew

When I have my son home with me on Tuesdays and Thursdays, he likes to move his Cars desk to my office area so he can “work” alongside me. This arrangement has greatly helped to alleviate the Daddy, look at me syndrome we experienced earlier this month. Foster’s “work” mainly consists of doing his superhero sticker books. This week, he has been working on completing his Spider-Man Ultimate Sticker Collection book. I am able to help him as needed because I have been a Spider-Man fan since I was his age. However, sometimes I just don’t have the time to continue giving him ongoing assistance, and I let him know that I have to get back to work. Well, I guess that phrase stuck. At the end of the day, Foster was very nearly finished with the entire sticker book. (This has been an ongoing on-and-off project for several months.) I shut down my computers and told him we were done for the day and that it was time to take a quick trip to the grocery store befor

The Rules of Disneyland: Rule #2

This is Rule #2 in my Disneyland rules SPECIAL. If you did not read the Rule #1, you did not miss much. Just the greatest blog post to ever grace the interwebs; that’s all. Oh, so you do want to read Rule #1? Just finger this O and it will lead the way. For those of us continuing the journey. Proceed. Now then, from the man who brought you Rule #1 and the hit Hip-Hop single Trying Desperately (#1 single in FOUR countries, not yet to exist), the man with no plan, that one guy who writes stuff, he needs no further introDUNKtion (Because I am watching the Finals…Some basketball association. Although, the game will be long over by the time this is posted.)…Drum roll please….The titillating Kenny! I just introduced myself. I just did that. Next Rule! 2.

The way in which to accomplish this task is to perform the Disneyland Walk™. In other words, you

Drinking Tips for Teens

I write for a regional audience — The Sherbrooke Record, CBC Radio, Life in Quebec — and then I post what I write on this blog for the world to see. And when I do that, I realize just how specifically Quebec-oriented much of my content and references are. And when I step back even further, when I start thinking about how to make these references understandable to the rest of the world, I realize that Quebec is nuts! Being English in Quebec provides a person with a slight immunity to the madness but only in a way that, say, you’re not at the hospital with the flu but you’re definitely running a fever. In many ways, thought, it’s worse, like running a fever with multiple personality disorder. Being English means that you’re part of a minority community in a French population, which is itself a minority community within Canada, and as an English person, you’re actually part of that national majority and so you’re sympathetic to the fact that

Cicada or Secada (aka John Secada)
spurloo

Which sound do you prefer? Cicada or Secada. Even though the Cicada’s hypnotize me and make me do there bidding, I prefer them. Who knows what crazy bug hi-jinks I’ve been involved in. At least it doesn’t make me want to walk in front of a train because of the same song going through my head again and again. Give me the reason, give me the reason… I find I can’t resist. It’s just another day without you. I’m not that strong! No No No! Oooooo. Or maybe the Cicada’s are singing John Secada all day long, and I’m picking up their signal.

Top 5 Words You Never Want To Hear Your Mom Say
The Arbitrary Index

1- Sexy. Gross, gross, ga-rossss!! Full body cringe, indeed. 2- Insurance. A stressful conversation is bound to follow, no doubt. 3- Marriage. Let’s cross that bridge when we get there, mmk?  4- Your *insert family member here. When they stop becoming hers and suddenly belong only to you, family drama is a’ brewing. 5- Excuse me?! Uh-oh…now you’ve done it. Best bet is to make yourself scarce.
