make 'em laugh.

So apparently this week is Comedy Week (capital letters indicate that this must be read in a stadium announcer voice, fyi) over at Vulture. On their first day they complied a list of "50 Comedians You Should And Will Know". For a burgeoning comedy nerd like me, this is a goldmine. Some of the people on the list I was familiar with (like Jason Mantzoukas aka Rafi on The League aka Dennis Feinstein aka awesome), and some I had never heard of but really like. One of the chosen few in the latter group is The Birthday Boys, a comedy troupe consisting of seven guys. They've done mostly internet videos so far, but apparently some big things are coming up for them (IFC anyone?). I really wanted to include a clip not on the Vulture list just in the remote possibility that you would actually read it, but this PoolJumpers trailer is just too hilarious to resist.

And here, I included another one, just in case. (I love the NPR at the end.)

distant cousins.

Who knew Steve Buscemi was such a Vampire Weekend fan? Who knew Ezra and the boys could act?

a bit of scott & hamm.

How did I not know this existed?

You should probably read this first if you want to have any idea what is happening.

Also, Adam Scott has said that he is going to be doing another The Greatest Event in Television History starring Amy Poehler and Horatio Sanz. (And hopefully more Paul Scheer!) Hells yeah.
