Another U.S. Military Branch Gets Mad at Another Comedian For Apparently Going Too Blue

August 19, 2013
Uncategorized
controversy, mitch fatel, us air force

Somehow, it’s a trend that comedians go on USO tours, perform for the Armed Forces around the world and are given some ridiculous parameters, which they sometimes end up ignoring when it’s clear that the troops don’t want to hear comedy run through too many censors. You can get a good sense of that if you’ve ever observed a military barracks or a mess hall and see servicemen and servicewomen joking around and that’s usually why that comedians that sense that they can go blue and do, pretty much get big laughs.

A U.S. Air Force Colonel has just called out comedian Mitch Fatel of one performance at a base in the UK for offensive material, though, according to Fatel, his shows were billed with “adult themes” and had great audiences responses.  

Looks like the U.S. Air Force didn’t read Jackie Kashian’s Guide to Hiring a Comedian For Your Function.

Just announced today, online written humor giant, Cracked.com is expanding to have a podcast, though, interestingly enough, not on their site, but rather in through a partnership with podcast network Earwolf.

“The Cracked Podcast” will feature in depth chats between Cracked editors once a month with smaller episodes in the weeks between.

We’d be curious to see how many episodes will be arguments regarding the best/worst animals.

They’ll be coming out soon, but enjoy a list of the best episodes compiled by Babcock himself.

This Better Be Funny Podcast: This Better Be Funny Ep. 82 Despicable Edition with Sean O’Connor

Another episode of This Better Be Funny mini-series “Despicable Edition”where we have a guest square off with co-host Jeremy Paul, who admitted to basically being a baby boxing promoter, in a “despicable/embarrassing story off” is here. This week, Sean O’Connor (Conan), a man who told off Bon Jovi, who has a pretty formidable tale in one of the worst girlfriends ever by virtue of the fact that she tried to frame him for a felony. 

Listen to how Sean survived that, what Jeremy will admit to from his past, what story wins based off Jake’s decision/possible bias against his co-host, and if Sean wins a cassette tape of David Gray (Yep, that’s what he was playing for).

Patton Oswalt, Bob Odenkirk And Ian Roberts Join Horror/Coming of Age/Comedy ‘Kitchen Sink’

Apparently, this monster filled comedy set in a high school, “Kitchen Sink”, already has an amazing cast in Josh Fadem, Keegan Michael Key, and Joan Cusack and now has just added the likes of Patton Oswalt, Bob Odenkirk, and Ian Roberts. 

With that mashing of genres and this cast, the set photos of this film alone should be both hilarious and great.

Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa Possibly Coming Stateside Next Year

Magnolia Pictures has just acquired Steve Coogan vehicle “Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa” (and we hope that you’re familiar with Steve Coogan and/or his radio DJ character Alan Partridge; if not, fix that now please). Not to mention that Veep’s own Armando Ianucci as well as Coogan are writers on the movie, you should get all excited for a potential 2014 release.

Here’s the trailer for Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa by the way if you haven’t seen it yet.

In short, it’s pretty damn funny. Watch it here.

Jon Stewart Is Now the Highest Paid Host in Late Night

Is this headline truly surprising to anyone?

If having your network get an interim host for the late night show bearing your name because you really want to a shoot a movie that your network has no stake in for the Summer, it should be a pretty good sign that you’re of high value to that network.

Also, Jon Stewart has made The Daily Show into one of the most reliably hilarious cultural phenomenons in recent memory, so, his pay shouldn’t be surprising.

The details of the show aren’t completely outlined yet, but we would think that a Rogen voiced Bigfoot would seem fitting.

The UCB Comedy Improv Manual by Matt Besser, Matt Walsh, and Ian Roberts Out Now

When considering who are the modern masters of improvisational comedy/who should write an instructional book on improv, a good place to start with that list is the founders of The Upright Citizens Brigade. 

Luckily, that just happened as Matt Besser, Matt Walsh, and Ian Roberts, ¾ of the original UCB 4 (the other one if Amy Poehler and we’re guessing she’s got a little busy with everything she’s doing to join in here) have written and released an instructional book on long form improvisational comedy.

If you have any interest in improv to any degree, The UCB Comedy Improv Manual just might be a good thing to buy.

Laffster Now Streaming Live Comedy Shows and Offering Special Interactive Auctions

Some of you might have heard of a comedy tech start up in Laffster over the last several months and some of the unique things that they were trying to do as a comedy content distributor/aggregator. 

Well, you might be interested to hear that they’re going into new territory by streaming live shows online such as a live taping of Walking the Room in addition to an accompanying interactive auction that would include, in this case, a personal 10 min. podcast ep. from Greg Behrendt and Dave Anthony or a personal phone call from Dave telling you to go fuck yourself, like a nice mix of Ustream and Kickstarter for comedy

They’ve already done similar special livestreams with the likes of Gina Yashere and Harvard Sailing Team and it might be something to look out for if you don’t live in LA or NYC and especially don’t have patience/money to go to a festival.
