On Coke: Richard Pryor

Portrait of a mad black poet. "Fuck Charlie Chaplin! Motherfucker didn't even talk"

With age comes wisdom

As a child, I looked up to one man above all others. That man is Chevy Chase. That acid-spewing, hate-filled master of one-liners and pratfalls. But then there was a huge backlash against him for being such a cock to people. So what if the man compared Bill Murray's skin to the cratered surface of the moon. And what if, in a supreme act of callousness, he chastised John Landis for the death of Vic Murrow and two Vietnamese children. And I can't repeat a rumored sketch idea he may have mentioned to a gay SNL cast member. Just know the punchline is about a gay man dying from AIDS.

So he's a piece of shit. But he made "Fletch". Even more, he made "Fletch Lives". He was FUCKING Clark Griswald! This man was in BOTH Caddyshacks damn it! Hasn't he paid his dues with his 90s and 00s career? Can't we welcome this man back into our hearts?

Now that he's a 66-year-old clown prince, he seems humbled. He can laugh at his misfortune and misteps. He even pats people on the back these days. He openly envies Bill Murray's career and speaks fondly of his fallen rival John Belushi. He mentions that most of his films sucked.

See how un-smug he can be?

Fucking horrible

Sick Animation

I love my comedy as juvenile as it is adult. True comedy has BALLS. And sickanimation.com is never lacking in that genital category. Surreal, silly stuff.

YAY! Chevy!

I've always been a super nerd for Chevy Chase films. But he's always been such a smug and rude hated personality. But now that he's in his late 60s and a deflated comic legend, he's like a rather hip grandpa we all can enjoy. Here's the best interview I've ever seen with him. He's kind and not stroking his own ego AT ALL! Well, just a teensy bit.

More STEP BROTHERS

I think STEP BROTHERS is one of the best comedies in the last 30 years. Probably the best of this generation of overpaid hacks. Its up there with Caddyshack and Tommy Boy in the annals of ridiculously silly, male-influenced, improv-heavy, slapsticky fun comedies. So if you watched it and enjoyed it, here's what didn't make its way in the final cut. Apparently, there's enough material to make another movie.

RIGHT NOW

The only thing more intriquing and foreign to me than Ghetto music is Ghetto comedy. This is a parody of the musical stylings of Gucci Mane and OJ da Juice Man. They reveal how incredibly easy it is to create their oddball Gangsta rap with some of the weirdest comedy I've heard in a while. BEWARE This is extremely catchy and juvenile.



"I walk with a waddle 'cause I got webbed feet!"

"I eat my sandwich plain/ It was a cheeseburger till I took off everything!"

comedy: Joysticks

Things I like about this movie:

1. Joe Don Baker as the middleaged villain
2. The kids include a dirty fat party animal (HAWAIIAN SHIRT!) and AN 80S nerd (bowtie-wearing, ofcourse)
2. There's a sex-hating nurse
3. Street gangs and colored haired punks
4. 30 year old teenage girls with FUCKING incredible breasts
5. A climactic arcade battle
6. Strip... arcade
7. The best hotdog gag EVER

COMEDY: School Spirit

Right now, I'm obsessed with stupid-ass comedies of the late 70s and up to the mid 90s. You know, sight gag-filled, slapstick-filled, boob-filled, sexually frustrated nerd-filled goodness. Here's some interesting crap:



Notice the main character, Billy Batson, is named after the child alter ego of the original Captain Marvel. Sweet.

This movie does look like shit though. I like that the trailer reveals, immediately, that at the end of the film, everyone learns he has become a ghost. Who cares about plot anyway. This has a lot of skin and falling down! Yuk-yuk!

RIP-OFF: Up the Academy

In comedy... and horror... and any genre of film, a terrible rip-off or cash-in of a more artistic and legitimate property can be extreme fun. Here we have 'Mad Magazine's Up the Academy'. When National Lampoon had a few successful hits like "Animal House" and "Vacation", MAD churned out this odd little "Stripes for Teen Boys" picture. I think its cool the awkward cute geek role went to a black kid. Nowadays, they'd just hand this role to Michael Cera.

Lost Comedy Gem: Guick Change

I'm getting this movie. Bill Murray and Randy Quaid makes my funnybone water(?), but Geena Davis too! Anything she's in is atleast watchable. Bill Murray, possibly the greatest modern comic actor, directed this little gem too.
