Get more bizarre delight out of Brad Hall’s latest shoe review that focuses on the performance of Nike Kobe X hi-tops.

After watching it, you’ll want to try out doing basketball drills slowly with mannequins rather than people too.

‘Tis the season for all those indie comedies that hit it big on the festival circuit to start coming out in theaters.

People Places Things played at Sundance earlier this year and is the latest opportunity that you’ll get to see Jemaine Clement on any screen since the wonderful What We Do In The Shadows hit the States earlier this year. Stephanie Allynne and Regina Hall round out the cast in what looks to be another heartfelt modern family dramedy.

Watch the trailer for People Places Things here.

Marc Maron To Interview President Barack Obama on WTF

Literally speaking, Marc probably won’t be able to lock the gates.

Announced on the latest episode of WTF with Marc Maron, Marc has an interview with President Barack Obama set and will post it on Monday. Of course, Obama is in town for fundraising purposes, but we definitely hope that Marc goes through Obama’s fantastic White House Correspondents Dinner sets over the years. 

Knowing this is supposed to take place reportedly sometime tomorrow at Maron’s garage, LA’s Eastside will finally get a taste of that Obama traffic.

James Corden has been hosting The Late Late Show for almost three months now and has waited to have his first stand-up comedian perform on the show, presumably to make it more special.

Well, Nick Thune made doubly sure, as the show’s first comedian to perform stand-up, that it would be unforgettably special.

So, without further adieu, watch Thune’s “award winning” first set here.

“The Overnight” Released First 7 Minutes For Your Viewing Pleasure

adam scott, ew, jason schwartzman, taylor schilling, the overnight

You’re probably home or not at work by this point, right? If you’re going to watch this, you should probably be sure of that.

More and more, The Overnight with Adam Scott, Taylor Schilling, Jason Schwartzman, and Judith Godreche looks like the dark horse for this Summer’s R-rated comedy hit. Entertainment Weekly has an exclusive on the first 7 minutes of the movie, which will probably you bring around to our way of thinking.

Give it a watch here. 

And Here’s Your First Promo for “Why? with Hannibal Buress”

June 18, 2015
Uncategorized
comedy central, hannibal buress, teaser, why?

Over the years, you’ve seen Hannibal Buress crush it as a stand-up, actor, restaurant critic, sports reporter, and more.

That has to be part of why Comedy Central has a new show, “Why? with Hannibal Buress” where Hannibal gets to seemingly do and talk about whatever he wants.

You’ll see that in this promo and then be excitedly waiting for its premiere on Comedy Central, Wed. Jul. 8th at 10:30PM.

Chris Miller and Phil Lord Are Developing Animated/Live Action Hybrid Series Starring Johnny Pemberton

June 17, 2015
Uncategorized

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

Yep. We’re on board for all of this.

Hollywood golden boys Chris Miller and Phil Lord are onto the next step of their fast growing comedy legacy (Jump Street, LEGO Movie, Last Man on Earth, and more) with a pilot presentation of Son of Zahn at Fox.

The animated will be juxtaposed with the live action in a story where an animated Barbarian father has to deal with coming home to the suburban life where a very real and hilarious Johnny Pemberton will play the son. We’re thinking that it’s probably somewhere along the lines of a much more clever, sharper, and heightened version of Thor not having his powers on earth in the first Thor movie.

Either way, we hope it gets past all the pilot stages just so we can see what Lord and Miller have got cooking.

Nostalgia from your youth is bigger than ever right now and with that in mind, you could you ever forget the spinning and tossing of Devil Sticks? 

Well, Ron Babcock illustrates, in one of our favorite bits to watch, how Devil Sticks are less nostalgic for him and more like an ever present painful memory.

Watch it here as he does it live at The Super Serious Show.

Stephen Colbert Mocks Donald Trump’s Announcement To Run For President To Perfection

This election year just got a whole lot more interesting as far as comedy is concerned. Yesterday, Donald Trump announced that he is going to run for President of The United States, which very much seemed like a present from the comedy gods. 

Certainly, Stephen Colbert like the rest of the comedy world is already setting up for what will be a tornado of ridiculous soundbites and comb overs as you can see in Colbert’s announcement about Trump’s announcement done in the style of Trump’s announcement.

Underground Casino Comedy “The House” Will Have Will Ferrell, Amy Poehler, and Jason Mantzoukas

June 17, 2015
Uncategorized
amy poehler, jason mantzoukas, the house, will ferrell

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

Hopefully, this will have echoes of Old School.

In “The House”, Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler play a couple that try to win back their daughter’s college tuition via an off-the-books casino. You wouldn’t be surprised to know that Jason Mantzoukas’ character has a lot to do with suggesting that idea.

So far, this has all the makings of the comedies of yesteryear that made Ferrell into the household name he is today. We can’t wait to see a trailer to see if that holds true.

IFC will have its latest mini series adaptation from the fictionally legendary author Eric Jonrosh (Will Ferrell) and his “masterpiece” The Spoils Before Dying next month on Wed. Jul. 8th at 9PM.

It’s a meta tale of murder, mistaken identity, jazz and questioning tropes of the whole film noir genre.

You can a great feel for just that in trailer right over here.

The Duplass Brothers Now Have a Four Picture Deal at Netflix and an Overall Deal at HBO

(via Variety)

Coming from a 7 minute short that followed a man trying desperately to record his outgoing voicemail they made over a decade ago, The Duplass Brothers are now real Hollywood power brokers.

Earlier this year, The Duplass Brothers scored a four picture deal over at Netflix, which was both new and exciting territory for Netflix as well as Mark and Jay. 

Now that the duo have succeeded with their series Togetherness and the upcoming Animals at HBO, HBO has gone in for a two-year overall deal for Mark and Jay Duplass to develop and produce more original series.

Between making their own TV series and movies then starring in others, they’re solidifying an indie empire of sorts.

Take note, they made you say ‘fractured but whole’.

As the massive gaming convention E3 is happening at this very moment, dozens of game trailers are being released to build up hype. 

One of those games is South Park: The Fractured but Whole, a sequel to South Park: The Stick of Truth that decides to parody superheroes in place of Lord of The Rings.

The very first trailer just got posted. Watch it here.

If you’re so inclined after that, you can pre-order The Fractured but Whole PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC here.

Bradley Cooper, Todd Phillips, and Andrew Lazar Are Developing “Ghost Army”About a Specialized WWII Hoax Unit

(via Deadline)

There was a unit filled art school/ad agency/etc. types tasked by the U.S. military to fool the Germans into thinking that they had more troops than they actually had and hopefully this feature adaptation will work out way better than Monuments Men.

Already, Todd Phillips of The Hangover franchise fame, is working on a more current war comedy in Arms and The Dudes that focuses on arms dealers helping U.S. forces in Afghanistan. His next project will have him team up once again with Hangover star Bradley Cooper along with Andrew Lazar, who Cooper worked with on American Sniper, on what has to be one of the more incredulous stories out of WWII. 

This ‘Ghost Army’ unit employed dummies, inflatable tanks, and more to fool German forces into how mighty the Americans were when advancing through Europe.

No talent is attached to star yet, but this could have the potential to be this decade’s fun WWII comedy.

Conan O’Brien enlisted the help of Aaron Bleyaert and Andy Richter to take on Thomas Middleditch, TJ Miller, and Zach Woods from Silicon Valley.

For the millions of us that couldn’t watch Monty Python live at The O2 Arena in London, we’ll get a better shot at catching two of the pythons this fall.

So far, from Oct. 2nd-30th, John Cleese and Eric Idle are touring the U.S. on their “John Cleese & Eric Idle: Together Again At Last… For The Very First Time” tour, which will include stops in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Baltimore.

Apparently, there will be anything from musical numbers to stories to aquatic juggling and more.

If you’re on the way on any of their tour that’s exclusively on the East Coast as of right now, you can get your tickets here.

Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney’s Catastrophe premieres stateside on Amazon starting this Friday Jun. 19th, but you can get a taste a little earlier than that in just a few hours from this post.

In about two hours, Amazon is making the first episode of Catastrophe available to watch on Facebook. You’ll be able to watch for 48 hours after that in case you want to watch it over again or can’t watch it right at 4pm today.

You’re probably on Facebook reading various people’s long posts about whatever they’re outraged today, so you can take a quick break and watch Catastrophe without leaving FB.
