I’m Actually Feeling a Little Posehn, but He Doesn’t Have an Album

Filed Under Records, Stand-Up Comedy

Neglected to mention I listened to David Cross’s It’s Not Funny while on vacation too.  There’s nothing like driving through the deep woods in Larry the Cable Guy country and listening to a commie-terrorist like David Cross spew his filthy joo mouth at decent God-fearing people. Thank Beelzebub!

I seriously loved how David Cross imagined the journey of exploitation it took to make the gold shavings for his fancy restaurant dessert. I imagine some would take David Cross to task for being in such a restaurant in the first place. I just find it amazing they could fit both their head and a stick in their rectum.

Though I do loves me a good comedy record, I ain’t so fond of listening to them over and over and over again. Even new masterpieces like Cross’s. That said, I’m planning on getting myself Patton Oswalt‘s Feelin’ Kinda Patton as soon as possible. The man has been a fave of mine for a while. He does stand-up for stand-up’s sake and, unlike a lot of comedians, unironically loves lots of pop culture ephemera. (And make it too, the guy wrote a well-regarded JLA comic last year.)

One of my favorite things about Patton has been how communicative he is with fans… particularly on what’s becoming alternative (for lack of a better name) comedy’s biggest message board, Mr. Show and Other Comedy on the Tenacious D “A Special Thing” Board. Check out this thread and see Patton be unfailingly honest not only about why MADtv doesn’t work but why he doesn’t work for MADtv, among other stuff.

This list of five awful Saturday Night Live hosts can't entirely be proven, since Lorne Michaels won't let the Milton Berle-hosted episode see the light of day again. Which is probably a good thing.

The trailer for Ghost Town, the "Ricky Gervais plays a dick who learns to be a better person thanks to dead people" movie, just went up. That's probably all you need to see of it.

Fox execs think comedy writers are uncomfortable pitching in stuffy offices. So they suggest they'll take pitches at restaurants or at writers' homes. Also, will fund writers to shoot short comedy web vids to test concepts.

Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman break up after five years. I'd suppose that means any possible bits featuring the pair are out as well.

Paul Scheer says there's going to be a third season of Human Giant, they just got to work around Aziz Ansari's schedule, now that's he's a character in the Office spin-off. (Best Week Ever)
