The imprint label of Literally Figurative Records launched by Jonah Ray with AST Records is on its way forward with its first taping and it should be a doozy.

Not only is this first taping going to be the announced series of 7", but it will be recorded live at one of the most popular living rooms in the LA comedy scene, The Comedy Living Room.

Tues. Nov. 11th, Sean O Connor, Paige Weldon, Kyle Clark, Alex Hooper, Rhea Butcher, Matt Mira, and Jim Hamilton will get to lay their jokes down on vinyl and you can catch this moment in comedy history and what promises to be an overall great night of comedy for free.

Just make sure you RSVP to Literally Figurative Galaxy of Stars; A Live Album Recording.

RiffTrax Launches New Site; Will Be Doing More “Total Riff Off” For National Geographic

October 23, 2014

nat geo, national geographic, rifftrax

If watching all the Mystery Science Theater 3000 that you possibly can on Vimeo isn’t enough movie riffing fun for you, then you’ll be happy to know that many of the MST3K guys, now the stars of RiffTrax, have redone their entire website to make it easy to find, get, and enjoy their riffs to your favorite bad movies.

The National Geographic Channel is also having RiffTrax back this December after a successful run on April Fool’s Day, riffing, as they do, over animal footage.

That should be enough to satisfy your movie riffing fix.

Watch and enjoy over and over here like the rest of the Internet will be doing for next several days here.

“Rick & Morty” Working on a Simpsons Couch Gag

October 23, 2014

adult swim, couch gag, rick and morty, simpsons

(via Den of Geek)

The iconic “Couch Gag” in the opening of The Simpsons has become its own show of sorts with hundreds of variations and plenty of series crossovers including one with Game of Thrones, another one with Robot Chicken, one by Hayao Miyazaki, and one by Don Hertzfeldt.

Now, the best new animated series to hit TV, Rick & Morty, is getting their own Simpsons couch gag in an upcoming episode according to a NYCC announcement.

That only makes our mind wander as to what Rick Sanchez would do with the power plant, taking on Mr. Burns, etc. Surely, a portal to another dimension will be involved.

A New Try at Adapting “I.Q. 83” Brings on Steve Carell and Charlie Kaufman

October 22, 2014

arthur herzog, charlie kaufman, iq 83, paramount, steve carell

The Arthur Herzog novel I.Q. 83 has been in the process of being adapted for the big screen, but has stayed in “development hell” for over a score of years. Various adaptations of the story of how a virus that dumbs people down (perhaps a sort of prequel to Idiocracy) haven’t been able to get the project moving forward much.

However, with the addition of Steve Carell starring and Charlie Kaufman writing a new adaptation over at Paramount, there might be hope yet. We’d be thoroughly taken aback if the two of them can’t get this to work.

“Sky Maul 2”, The Kind of Sky Mall Catalog You Really Want, Out Now

October 22, 2014

parody, sky mall, sky maul 2

We’ve given you a heads up on the parody of Sky Mall catalog, Sky Maul 2: Where America Buys His Stuff and we’re more than happy to tell you that it’s finally available to buy from the comfort of wherever you are that probably isn’t an airplane.

Bullet-Allowing Vests and Catbox Viewing Domes are only the tip of the iceberg here, ladies and gentlemen. So, get your copy and wonder at the stuff that you’d probably print up if you had a 3D printer around.

Tenacious D Set to Tour Throughout Asia and Europe

October 22, 2014

asia, comedy tour, europe, jack black, jimmy kimmel live, kyle gass, tenacious d

Hong Kong, Malaysia, Tokyo, Seoul, Germany, Italy, Austria, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, and The Netherlands are all stops that Tenacious D will be hitting a month after they get through Festival Supreme.

Both Jack and Kyle have yet to rock as The D in Asia and are most certainly looking forward to it as you can see during their interview on Kimmel last night.

Tickets for most of these shows running through two continents from Nov. 30th-Feb. 14th are now on sale.

Steve Coogan To Replace The Late Philip Seymour Hoffman in Showtime’s “Happyish”

October 22, 2014

happyish, philip seymour hoffman, showtime, steve coogan

Earlier this year, Showtime landed something big when they ordered the dark comedy series Happyish that was going to star Philip Seymour Hoffman.

As you probably know, Hoffman passed away tragically not long after Showtime picked up the series.

Steve Coogan has now been appointed in filling the role that Hoffman was set for and given just his recent work on Philomena and Alan Partridge, he’ll fill in quite nicely.

Joseph Pera Reviews Pancake Breakfasts as The Pancake Breakfast Critic

October 22, 2014

It’s about time that someone got to the bottom of what makes a good pancake breakfast and where to go to get them. Comedian Joseph Pera has taken on this very task by going from town to town and reviewing their local pancake breakfasts for MTV Other.

The result is the wonderful, just a tad off-kilter web series The Pancake Breakfast Critic. Get some pancakes, watch, and enjoy here.

Netflix Orders 70s Animated Series “F Is For Family” Created by Bill Burr and Mike Price

October 22, 2014

animated series, bill burr, f is for family, mike price, netflix

While the label of being the next Louis C.K. has been put on Bill Burr from time to time, Burr has insisted that, as nice as that is, he’s not C.K.

In the sense that he’s expanding from being one of the most beloved stand-ups currently working today to creating and starring in shows, Burr is certainly moving in the same direction that C.K. has and we have no doubt he’s going to be great at it.

He already has a pilot ordered by FX, Pariah, and now, Bill has just scored a series order from Netflix for an animated 70s family comedy he co-created with The Simpsons’ Mike Price that will be titled F Is For Family. Burr will also be voicing the head of the family along with a great cast of Laura Dern and Justin Long.

In case it isn’t clear, we love everything about this.

Gary Gulman Returns to Conan While on Tour

Gary Gulman is currently on a tour across the country that will lead up to the taping of his third special. Not many comics get to have late night be one of the stops on their tour, but Gary got to return to Conan for a second time to do stand-up and showcase the sharply written comedy that’s gotten him to this point after 20 years.

Watch his set here.

“Meow The Jewels” Raised Enough Money; El-P Auditions Cats

October 22, 2014

brooklyn, cat auditions, el-p, killer mike, meow the jewels, remix, run the jewels

We had no doubts that the Internet would back a remix album of underground rap made from cat sounds and “Meow The Jewels”, that very kind of remix of Run The Jewels, indeed reached its Kickstarter goal.

So, with that part finished, El-P, half of Run The Jewels, had to go audition cats, obviously. Watch that and throughly enjoy here.

“Schitt’s Creek” Picked Up at Pop, The Rebranded TV Guide Network

October 21, 2014

eugene levy, pop, schitts creek, tv guide network

Well, it didn’t take long for Schitt’s Creek, the Eugene and Daniel Levy Canadian faux-reality series parodying the Kardashians, to find a home here in America.

TV Guide Network is being rebranded to have more programming as “Pop” and has just acquired Schitt’s Creek to play here in the U.S.

In a TV landscape with plenty of channels rebranding, this seems like a pretty good step forward for the launch of Pop.

ben schwartz, hit record, joseph gordon-levitt

Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Hit Record is continuing their crowdsourced experimental form of entertainment, this time with a little help from Ben Schwartz.

Basically, Schwartz and Gordon-Levitt want to make comedy sketches based off of anonymously submitted secrets for Hit Record. In this way, deep, dark secrets could be shared, supposedly, without anyone’s identity or reputation being compromised as well as presented with great comedic embellishment.

For more details, watch the two give you all the details.

SNL Bumps Up Leslie Jones to Cast Member

October 21, 2014

leslie jones, nbc, Saturday Night Live, snl

Saturday Night Live hired Pete Davidson as the only new cast member ahead of this season’s premiere, which, apparently, left room for some promotions internally.

Announced yesterday, SNL writer Leslie Jones has made her way to being an official cast member on the show. Jones has already appeared in numerous sketches as well as doing bit of stand-up on Weekend Update.

This leaves you wondering if any more changes are set to come midseason for SNL.

Henry Rollins and Ryan Murphy Both Have Horror Comedy Series In The Works

October 21, 2014

fox, he never died, henry rollins, ryan murphy, scream queens

The melding of the genres of horror and comedy got a real push forward today as the horror comedy movie He Never Died starring Henry Rollins is now intended for a mini-series spin off as well and Fox ordered the Ryan Murphy horror comedy project Scream Queens to series.

Given how much intentionally bad horror movies have reemerged as a fun subgenre, we’re a little surprised that there aren’t more horror comedy series in development/in production/being released.

Dead Kevin Is Coming Back

October 20, 2014

ahmed bharoocha, dead kevin, jack robichaud, ryan o'flanagan

Being caught up in The Walking Dead, you might think that the headline here is for a warning for an actual “walker”.

It’s not because zombies aren’t real. However, one of our favorite sketch groups, Dead Kevin, is completely real and finally coming back with new videos every Mon. starting next Mon.

Here’s a sketch/announcement, again, completely zombie free.
