Friday Lulz - Comedy Nostalgia

[stewstewstewdio.livejournal.com]

I fondly remember the days when I would set aside a certain time to hit the couch and watch some of my favorite sketch comedy.  Tivo, DVD's, NetFlix, On Demand and online programming has made that unnecessary, but I still miss that time I set aside.  Then, the programs either disappeared or changed to a cast that was so bizarre that everybody lost interest.  Here are clips from a couple of my favorites:

 

MadTV - Will Sasso and Mo Collins as Arnold and Maria Scharzenegger

The Man Show - Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Corolla featuring Man Show Boy

The Man Show Fake ID

My fave TV comedy is 'Allo, 'Allo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/'Allo_'Allo!). It's pure classic! And also I'm sure some of our history/military/British-humor junkies would enjoy it immensely.

I love British humor but why the canned laughter ? Why ? ლ(´﹏`ლ) This is pure sadism.

[htpcl.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's the thing I hate about American tv comedies. The laughter. Cmon, can't I decide when to laugh that they'll have to nudge me? It's almost as if I have one of those blinking signs at home which says "Laugh here". Dumb.

[the-rukh.livejournal.com]

focus groups have found comedy shows funnier if fake laughter is added to the show. not even kidding.

[htpcl.livejournal.com]

And of course there must be a measuring scale of funny-funnier-funniest somewhere out there that I'm unaware of. :-P

[the-rukh.livejournal.com]

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if stations had a "funny metric" to rate shows on.

[lai-choi-san.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Totally counterproductive, above all when the laughter is louder than the dialogues.

[htpcl.livejournal.com]

And when it occurs every 5 seconds. It tends to drop the value of genuine laughter.

Argh, can't watch the videos.

That's why Friday Luls always make me so sad :-(

So Jesus was blond with blue eyes, hu?

In the musical, yeah.

If only it was was just there...

I know blond jews with blue eyes, in fact one of them gets tired of hearing that he looks like a Nazi German, so there you go.

They probably had ancestors who were in Europe. But blond Jews in the 1st century BC? Kind of reminds me of Sharbat Gula, the girl from the NG cover, who's Pushtun but has blue eyes.

He's full Jew, no intermarriage (he even had that DNA testing thingy). Genetic mutations happen all the time (interestingly King David was described in I Samuel as being ruddy faced, a feature of red headed people). But yeah, it's a clip from a musical made from a concept rock and roll album: it wasn't a biography of the historic Jesus of Nazareth. And the historic Jesus was no doubt dark skinned and not a whimpy gurly man as portrayed in the movie clips. Cool fact: John Travolta was nearly cast as Jesus for the original Broadway production in the early 1970s, DISCO JESUS!!!

Every time I hear Jesus, I think of this guy:

I occasionally give my wife crap (she's Catholic, I'm atheist) about how much it would cost to replace the Aryan Jesus pictures, etc. in a given church with more accurate portrayals. I think she actually sympathizes.
