-Spike inspecting people’s junk at the beach…pretty funny.
-News dude Rick Richards…so so…Leave Britney alone…
-Ryan Seacrest…a timely guest, but not a fan
-Old dudes getting freaky with the Koolaid man..just plain creepy
-Goth baby kicks butt on emo baby in Comedy for Stoners , It was no Lincoln or LarryKing..but those will be tough to beat

There have been writer changes as I already knew…cause I’m good like that. The Myspace site lists:

WRITER BIOS:
MATT O’BRIEN
Matt O’Brien is a male comedy writer. His credits include SNL’s TV Funhouse, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

Note #1 That Matt is indeed male or he writes for a male comedy niche… Time will perhaps tell.

Note #2 Can’t help but go back to the classic Lovelines bit 11/9/2003, where Adam asks Producer Ann and Drew

…Triumph the Insult (clapping) I swear that’s driving me nuts…………Ann, What word is missing from that Triumph the Insult Dog?….and I don’t mean it like in a sarcastic way………..(Drew) The Comic Insult Dog?..(Adam) Is the word Comic in there? …or there’s something …there’s a speed bump in there…I can’t figure out what it is….(Drew) can we look it up on the web? …Yeah…….(Anderson) It’s Triumph the Insult Comic Dog….(Adam) O comic Right right …alright.

Lincoln Park is gonna be in here uh on Tuesday, …….. …Cyprus Hill……What word’s missing from Cyprus Hill?……….Oh yeah ….Weed…….

Papa Roach is gonna be in here on Thursday…..It’s a full week..oh yes

Make a Log Cabin You Wimps and Babies!

September 1, 2007

Can you imagine if I could talk to my great great grandfather? Beyond the “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” part, if he handed my sorry out of shape self an axe and said…boy fell that tree yonder! And I’d take two or three good swings and break a vigorous sweat and declare time for a break.

Can you imagine that a man came into the wilderness without any power saws and used his axe and took down, then stripped and cut down enough trees to build a log cabin before winter set in. If he was lucky, maybe there was another family or two traveling with them. And…if you were unsucessful, winter would set in and you could freeze to death or just be eaten by bears.

Honestly, even with a few power tools, I’m not sure at all that I could make a log cabin that would be safe to live in.

We won’t even embarrass ourselves reflecting on raw human power in making the pyramids of Egypt or the Mayan pyramids.

So, with all our power tools and computers…the average person should have outdone his predecessors…right?

Err no. We are weak, fat and less of darn near everything.

But we talk a lot more…O yeah..cause talk…is cheap….

Adam Carolla noted on one of his free-fm radio shows that we’ve run out of real problems (or for the most part) like malaria and mumps and chicken pox and measles and polio and the plague that you had to stay toughened up to survive.

Spike Feresten…Talk Show with Spike Feresten(New on the second season coming..Wooohoo!!!)

February 16, 2007

(Wait, wait!! A lil birdie is whispering about the second season…Stay tuned…)

(Hmmm…Not even a peep from Spike since FOX renewed the show for a second season…What’s up with that? Is he going to the View? I guess busy with Bee movie?) 🙂

Had to get a few quick lines on here to give propers to Spike. His new show is on Saturday nights after MadTV on FOX. Spike has been a writer for many shows including Seinfeld, Letterman and back in the day (Saturday Night Live’s Dennis Miller)

It’s part talk show, part field reporting, part edgy humor, part anything goes!

Google “Electric Lincoln” Youtube

to see one of the classic bits at the end of most shows called “Comedy for Stoners”

BTW, Abe looks a LOT like Clint Eastwood, hahaha Yeah baby!

Another skit that technically wasn’t in the comedy for stoners, but…Return of the Dapper Daniels….and their barber shop quartet’s homo-erotic tribute to “I’ve been workin on the railroad”

Google ….return dapper ifilm

Then its “Return of the Dapper Daniels” on ifilm

Some moron took down the one on youtube…dann weenies.

 

Okie dokie…Moving on…
