(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.

“This is your Bureau Director speaking. The Ultimate Comedy Bash is what everyone should be doing today. Thank you. You may now return to watching analysis of Obama’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner Speech.
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.
This is a very dumb sketch that I made with Dave Ross and Jake Weisman. Enjoy.
In the new comedy concert film, “Tell Your Friends”, Reggie Watts says that he often thinks that things are going well comedy wise when people comment, “that’s so stupid…” while laughing. I think this sketch speaks to that very dynamic.
This was the moment Eric Appel looked at his phone and realized Osama Bin Laden was dead last night. Sarah Silverman was just about to go on in front of an audience who had not been exposed to the media yet because they were in a marathon comedy show. It took them a while to realize it wasn’t a bit.

Where I wish I was when last night’s moment in history happened…
Yeah, you can take a break from the whole Osama Bin Laden tweet fest to get this. Articles on/about Reggie Watts, Maria Bamford, Nick Vatterott, and much more!
This week, we are joined by Annie Cruz and Abbey Londer. Annie reveals the connection between being a Scorpio and sex addiction, Abbey talks about porn in a neon orange box, and Eli & Jake try very hard to keep their banter in check. The bells & whistles come…
OK, the sex stuff weirds me out a little, but there are enough hilarious people on the Morning After to make up for it.
