            <title>Video Friday - Travel Delayed</title>
            <description><![CDATA[Ugh. (Unnamed Airline) sucks. Won't bore you with details of another wayward trip through hell, but there's no way a 90 minute flight from Milwaukee to NYC should including boarding, deplaning, bad information, a trip through Cincinnati, and b.o. that is not from this Earth. So, just like me, video Friday was delayed... until now. When I find solace in watching videos about airline travel. Yes, airplane jokes are as old as airplanes themselves, but just sit back, think of all the times you've been screwed, and enjoy. How To Irritate People - Monty Python Yesterday's Future Today - Funny or Die Yesterday's Future Today: Air Travel - watch more funny videos The Best of Johnny from Airplane - Funny or Die The Best of Johnny from Airplane! - watch more funny videos Time Travel Nightmare - The Simpson (okay, time travel, but still... it's a travel nightmare)...]]></description>

            <title>Milwaukee Ha Ha?</title>
            <description><![CDATA[No, really. I am in Milwaukee for a couple days. Performing at Marquette and UW Oshkosh. I got to thinking... Besides Laverne & Shirley, most seasons of the Brewers (especially the Red Necks and Jeffrey Leonard years), and the accents, what's so funny about Milwaukee? This site gives me some comedy around. There are a couple clubs, some improv, some sketch groups... but is there anything amazing here? Who's "come out of" Milwaukee? This type of town has got to produce some under-the-radar gems, so who are they? And, furthermore, let's maybe start a little breakdown of comedy cities in the USA. In fact, this Milwaukee trip has just inspired me to do so. I'm gonna give it an off-the-cuff stab below, but I want to create a good list of comedy cities, with stuff like history and opportunity and industry and support, etc. etc. etc. So, when you're done...]]></description>

            <title>The Times, It Is A-Laughing</title>
            <description><![CDATA[I tend to keep an eye on the MSM coverage of comedy. Having been exposed the UK comedy scene - where the big papers and the BBC routinely include comedy and comedians as major cultural forces - I'm curious to see what happens here. The intrusion of the Stewart-Colbert-Maher line into tradition media's role as information provider, the rise of comedy coverage and content online, the steady flow of laid off "real job" holders into the comedy ranks... all must be adding pressure to newsrooms to at least take a look into the ha-ha arts. The New York Times, for one, seems to have gotten it's comedy groove on recently. David Itzkoff always drops some nice comedy coverage, and there was the recent article about comedians in Queens (including yours truly), but this past weekend the paper landed a surprise 1-2-3-4 punch of comedy pieces: Nick Swardson Talks About His...]]></description>

            <title>Making a Mess... On Stage</title>
            <description><![CDATA[I was at a show last night with Elephant Larry. Very funny group. They made a mess on stage. Crumbled, mashed in cookies, cream, cupcakes, mush, goo, crumbs everywhere. I've seen The Apple Sisters routinely spray corn, melon, and water everywhere. I caught New Excitement dumping coffee, spit, blood, and food all over their play space, too. Those are just a few of the sketch groups that routinely make a mess on stage. My questions for you are: - What other groups do that regularly? (Answers including "Gallagher" or "Gallagher 2" will result in disqualification... from life). - Do you like? - For an audience, does it enhance the experience, detract from it, make you feel uncomfortably frightened, or draw you into a silly world of play where anything is possible ("Let the wild rumpus... get messy!")? - As performers, does making a mess provide an extra sense of ownership,...]]></description>

            <title>News! Antennae On The Move!</title>
            <description><![CDATA[Arrested Development is back on the air. Where it belongs... while we wait for the movie. On the other hand, The Jeff Dunham Show broke Comedy Central's record for a series debut. I realize everyone has different tastes, and not everyone knew how great Chappelle was before his show hit, and Jeff Dunham is undeniably talented and funny and hard-working... but... really? The stereotype enhancing show is that popular? Guess it's Mencia with a puppet. The New York Comedy Festival hits town next week. While mostly stand-up - and great stand-up at that - there are some solid events for sketch fans, including and especially the Andy Kaufman Award. NBC ordered up the rest of the season Community and Parks & Rec. Like Community, good stuff, well-cast, solid writing, tightly made. Parks & Rec hasn't yet done it for me. I want to like it, but, well, that may be...]]></description>

            <title>World&apos;s Largest Sketch Event: Halloweeen </title>
            <description><![CDATA[It's coming. Halloween. Great Pumpkins, fun-sized candy, and pretending to be someone else. Everyone plays, lowers his or her inhibitions, and gets candy... in one form or another... rrrow. (Seriously, there's a lot of Halloween action). The Halloween costumes are what make it special to me, though, frankly I like to think of them as characters, not costumes. I don't ask, "What are you going as?" but rather, "Who are you going as?" (Okay, wow. I just realized that's totally pretentious of me, isn't it? I'll stop. But at least I use bad grammar - should be "As whom are you going?" - so I'm still cool, right?) (According to subway ads, the chance to wear costumes only leads to sexy things - sexy cops, sexy bumble bees, sexy prostitutes. Don't get me wrong, I like sexy - "What's wrong with being sexy?" - but, come on, tap into something...]]></description>

            <title>Yes!  Arrested Development (&amp; TV news)</title>
            <description><![CDATA[IFC keeps reaching into my brain to find good ideas. IFC picked up all three seasons of Arrested Development, and will begin showing them this Sunday, October 25, at 10 pm. Part of the Automat. Monty Python and Arrested Development - it's like the best parts of my youth and of my recent past are coming together in one powerful form. What's next? R2D2 and Elle Macpherson delivering the 2004 Red Sox championship? Fox is putting together a comedy series based upon the Dog Whisperer with Wilmer Valderrama. Lassie with a laugh track? That 70s Dog? Do dogs have comic timing? Does Wilmer Valderrama? It's clearly going to be either awesome or terrible. No in between. I wanna watch. Fox ordered a spec script about a man who pretends to need rehab in order to connect with his high school sweetheart. Sounds more like a Ben Stiller - Kristen Bell...]]></description>

            <title>Laughs, Chills, &amp; Advice at the Monty Python Reunion</title>
            <description><![CDATA[Last night: Monty Python's 40th Anniversary at the Ziegfeld Theater. Here's how I lived it... First of all, the weather. WTF? I wasn't expecting a Winter Inquisition. No one expects the Winter Inquisition! Our chief weapon is cold. Cold & rain. Rain & cold. Wait... our two main weapons are cold, and rain, and wind... No wait, Three! i.e. The weather sucked, but that just highlighted how great the rest of the evening went. If it was worth hypothermia, it had to have been good. After grabbing my ticket and passing by the most enthusiastic usher in history (with apologies to Usher), I found a comfy spot at the end of the Red Carpet. Turns out it was a sort of Comedy Blog Alley, with TheComicsComic & The Apiary also represented. Blogs will have the last word, old media. Yes, we will. This, my first Red Carpet event, was as...]]></description>

            <title>While you wait for your wafer thin mint...</title>
            <description><![CDATA[NBC has ordered up a pilot from Reno 911's Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant! Will be great to see them back in action, but will a "network" spoil the fun? Fox gave an order for the rest of the second season of The Cleveland Show. I'm not yet a huge fan. Is the brand spreading thin? Suppose it's that or more whatever-non-animated-stuff-Fox-offers. House 2? 25? Monty Python was on Jimmy Fallon last night. Have I mentioned they'll be streaming right here, on IFC.com, 9pm tonight, and then all next week all over IFC? Have I mentioned that? The New York Times discovers comedy: Anybody Here From Astoria? Is Letterman Hurting Anyone?
