This is so amazing. I’m such a huge fan of Adam’s from Anchorman, Talladega Nights, Step Brothers, etc, all the way back to his work on SNL.

This made my month. Thanks, Adam! 

Good for Matt Braunger! That’s more than Favstar could do, right?

Simply amazing.  Glad that I finally got to go to a prom that was fun, even if I was holding two cameras at the same time.

WHAT A MOM WANTS

If you’ve just checked out the site and haven’t watched the video, please do so!

Much love to Tess Lynch, Rob Delaney, Jill Kushner and Shelby Fero for participating!

(and yo, did you know Zooey scored this? Multitalented, that one.)

Yes, there are plenty of hilarious people in this video as listed above from new site, HelloGiggles, but it’s the first appearance, to my knowledge, of apparent comedy writer prodigy Shelby Fero (she’s 17 and listed by Patton Oswalt on who to follow on Twitter). Pretty amazing stuff all around in this video.

UCB-LA | Ultimate Comedy Bash | 05.01.11

Each performer at the marathon was given exactly 20 minutes to perform, Paul F. Tompkins spent 15 minutes of his dealing with a single drunken heckler who encapsulated the attention whoriness of a whole bachlorette party.

The girl in the white shirt kept insisting that she went bowling with Prince and in telling her story, threw in gratuitous details about her vintage shoes, which was met with pitchfork angry boos.. from just from the ladies in the audience.

When asked if she could change anything about her interaction with him, she would insist that he buy her some “motherfucking pumpkin fries”.

Since she had just walked in before PFT’s set and promptly left out the back door after it, she paid $20 to be embarrassed by a comedian.

Well done.

When things like this (Paul F. Tompkins being heckled) happen, I immediately ask, why?  It usually doesn’t matter because Tompkins is hilarious no matter what’s happening.
