Storm
Tim Minchin's delightful little song story, Storm, is candy for skeptics. And this new animated video for it makes it eye candy as well.

REGULAR IS NOT A SIZE
All of this happens multiple times a day. It is not an exaggeration. Well, maybe less swearing.

Axe Cop...The Movie!
Here's a fan film adaptation of the sensational webcomic (also, book comic) Axe Cop). Hopefully there will be more.

Batman Does It Better...
I need no further proof that I need to start watching Batman: The Brave And The Bold than the following innuendo-laced musical number in which the Birds of Prey size up DC's greatest heroes:

Al Roker Gets His Nub Yubbed
On October 30th, the entire cast of the Today Show got into the Halloween spirit by dressing like characters from Star Wars. They even hired extras to play characters like the Ewoks featured in this clip. Maybe you should have a better screening process for extras when you have a live broadcast...
That Ewok is my new hero.

Hugh Laurie - "Mystery"
Dani and I watched A Bit Of Fry And Laurie last night. This song by Hugh Laurie was the highlight of the first episode for me:
If you're only used to seeing Laurie as Dr. House, it's pretty amusing to see him doing his earlier comedy work.

I'm Officially Hooked On Glee
The pilot didn't completely sell me on Glee, but the show has been getting progressively better in each episode. Here's one of my favorite moments so far:

Bruno

Bruno was probably my least favorite character from Da Ali G Show, so I was a bit puzzled when I heard Sacha Baron Cohen was making a movie based on him. Then I saw the trailer and it changed my mind. The word "genius" gets tossed around almost in every conversation I've heard about Cohen, and I've even used it a few times myself. But I think for the kind of character acting he does you'd be hard pressed to find someone more dedicated to the roles he inhabits. I think the real genius comes when he refuses to break character under any circumstances. When most others would flee for their lives, he pushes things way past the point of comfort. There are several points in Bruno, for example, that make you wonder how he even got out alive.
Or maybe that's not genius. Maybe it's just crazy. In any case, it's hilarious. Bruno certainly ups the anty when it comes to uncomfortable (and often gross) situations. Like in Borat Cohen uses his over-the-top characterization to reveal things about people they might not normally reveal in more comfortable settings. He's often going after easy targets, like Bill Maher does in Religulous. No one will be surprised that there are homophobes in Alabama, but it's still funny as hell to see them squirm. And many of these people deserve to be mocked, whether it's the Christian homosexual deprogrammers, or the stage moms who will subject their babies to anything if it means they get the paycheck.
Bruno isn't as funny as Borat, but it's pretty close.
