killscreendaily:
Trussed-up telenovela Downton Abbey, an Edwardian-set import, has captured this nation’s hearts and imaginations with its savvy combination of icy British subtlety and hot-blooded American-style romance. And much like your average everyday card-based RPG, the show often stages the fall of…

WatchPre-Game. This was a fun one. David and Josh are total pros, and I’m unabashedly in love with the complete non-ending ending. Also please excuse my absurdly oversized shirt in the last scene. We ran low on wardrobe, and when I wear normal-sized-people shirts I look like one of Jesse’s friends from Breaking Bad.

WatchThis is my favorite episode of The Chris Gethard Show yet. Chris invites Alyssa, a 16-yr-old comedy superfan and one of the show’s most frequent callers, to the set and surprises her with appearances and messages from Tina Fey, Jeff Rubin, Jon Glaser and more. Alyssa comes off cool and honest and a little nervous and it will make you feel whatever the oposite of being cynical about...

Head to the front page of CollegeHumor today to see a collection of our favorite movie-themed stuff, including an Inglorious Basterds parody I wrote with Sarah Schneider and a Social Network sketch in which I got to wear a Mark Zuckerberg wig.
Watch“Phish and Chips.”
Recently I started (a) listening to Phish and (b) writing later into the night. This is the inevitable result.

Klutz books

A thing that flies
A thing that sticks
A tee shirt with a tree frog on it

Founding Fathers
I know it’s Presidents Day, but the truth is America’s in rough shape. If only our Founding Fathers were around, their political genius could restore our great nation.

Wit and Wisdom From Joel
“I’m going to tell you a story. It’s a story about a man. This man did not like going to church. Every Sunday he would sit in the back pew, staring at the pastor, but in his heart he was home, watching TV. Finally, one week, an old woman in church could tell the man was uninterested in the sermon. She tapped the man on the shoulder and said, ‘You there. I can see you are...

Takin' It Easy This Valentine's Day lol ; )
Sure I’m single. But yikes, who wants to deal with all the stress of a Valentine’s Day date?! Give me a good book, some hot tea, a little light jazz on the radio, a comfy couch, maybe a few chamomile candles, a Meg Ryan movie on Netflix, my cat Whiskers on my lap, a foot jacuzzi, a neck pillow, a warming lumbar supporter, a little soft rock on a second radio, one of those machines that...

Any chance I get to direct and shoot esoteric sketches with talking body parts, I TAKE. Written by Sarah Schneider and Dan Gurewitch, produced by Steve Cozz, starring Emily Axford. Can you name the actor who cameo’d for Mr. Elbow? Hint: “Aladdin!”
I’m the voice of a knee in this, which is something I’m excited I get to say for the rest of my life.

North Korea reacts to Obama’s marshmallow cannon - news footage leaked from the secretive nation!
This is a weird idea I wrote yesterday. Mad props to Jest editor Drew Nissan for throwing it together. Mad apologies to the people of North Korea, for everything.
