I can't believe this is still online. →

I don’t think it’s embeddable, but this link is an old video about the UCB, I think from 2001-ish. I stumbled across it years ago, and I’m glad to see it’s still up.
It’s a really cool time capsule, including footage of what looks like an old Asssscat show, footage of a Delaney class at the old offices, and comments from UCB student Zach Woods.
Nice old find, Hal! That...
Not My Wedding →
nicolemarietherese:
I do not want to get married any time in the foreseeable future. But I want to plan weddings everyday for the rest of my life. My favorite thing? When friends get married. My very favorite thing? When my favorite co-worker gets engaged and asserts that we have a wedding to plan. PERMISSION.
So. In the tradition of weddings, I’ve started a new tumblr to post pictures for...

Angry Love Songs
patbaer:
healywu:
Or, possibly more aptly, break up songs. And not resigned, cold anger - I am talking about hot, livid, tearful rage. The good stuff!
I want your recommendation of songs with this theme. It’s not a mix for someone else, I just want a more thorough mix than I currently have. The two most fitting songs I currently have both have screaming repetitions of ‘Fuck’, to give you...
Conan chants

Just stay quiet, Leno
This whole mess is all NBC.
While I am not a fan of Leno (He steals bits from The Howard Stern Show, his show, on average, is not well written) and I am a fan of Conan, I do believe that NBC went to Leno and said, “Hey, Conan’s getting offers we don’t want him to go so we are going to force you into early retirement.” One can get that through the subtext of the...
Upcoming Horror Remakes

My Parents
My parents are celebrating their 30th anniversary tonight. You’d think one would get sick of a person after 30 years. They must really like each other.
And that’s just 30 years of marriage. They were middle school sweethearts that got married in their 20s. Which by the way, made me think I lost my chances at marriage when I broke up with Peter Martelli in 8th grade.
Jimmy Kimmel does his entire show as Jay Leno →
I don’t know if you guys saw this. They purposely wrote bad monologue jokes, the headlines desk bit. Chevy Chase was Conan for a little bit. It was a good episode.

Pat Robertson blows it for Christians. Some of the more memorable lines: “True story!” “Resorts and etc.”
I think the more horrifying thing is that the chick is just nodding along.

Conan O'Brien releases a statement
vaov:
People of Earth: In the last few days, I’ve been getting a lot of sympathy calls, and I want to start by making it clear that no one should waste a second feeling sorry for me. For 17 years, I’ve been getting paid to do what I love most and, in a world with real problems, I’ve been absurdly lucky. That said, I’ve been suddenly put in a very public predicament and my bosses are demanding an...

– Common sense goddamnit! (via shirapiell)
I just learned why there’s liquid on toilet seats. Did you know some women don’t fucking sit down when they pee in a public bathroom? I overheard two women talking about it. I think they’re insane. You actually can’t catch anything...

Leno's back at 11:30/10:30 Central →

I’m glad his show is not in that time slot anymore, but I’m not a fan of Leno continuously inadvertently fucking with Conan’s career.

Comedy. Why?
mir777:
I’ve been having some issues lately with comedy.
Why do we do it? What is the force driving us? Do we do it for ourself or for others? For art or for acceptance? When is the art overcome by the business? Do we study it or do we just do it?
Or maybe I’m just full of artistic shit.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately too.
I started out doing it for the art. Then when...
The Hipster Show
The Hipster Show at the UCB theatre went super awesome last Saturday. Thanks for coming out, it was jam packed. And thank you to the two chicks that saw the show topless, even after receiving Hipster Show shirts.
I don’t remember anything after the Death Star blowing up at midnight. Great party, Purns.
