The Definitive Guide to Comedy
Instead of three separate posts, might as well just show you three videos that you know you'll be wanting to see and talk about and share today. Let's get to them. First up is the celebrity spoof of a movie adaptation of MTV's Jersey Shore, complete with Mila Kunis as …
I just saw this on NBC's Today this morning, so I'll be uploading it as soon as the video becomes available. But it certainly threw me for a loop to realize that Steve Bridges, the impersonator who mimicked President George W. Bush to Bush's face at a previous White House …
Gavin Speiller is a popular improviser in New York City, performing regularly with UCB troupe Death By Roo Roo, as well as independent group Rogue Elephant. But Speiller also is available, ladies! Before you can figure out a way to mashup a Styx song with Go West's "King of Wishful …
