(via Deadline)

Hey, Internet commenters, you did it. Your snarky, nasty, vile, unfiltered comments are now going to be the subject of a pilot that Joel McHale is developing for E!

Comedian Michael Kosta is set to host the show and guide the dissection of what exactly goes into Internet comments. If this goes to series, we can only hope that it will encourage people to start spelling correctly.

Miranda Sings Make Her Episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee More Like an Episode of Seinfeld

The YouTube star Miranda Sings (created by Colleen Ballinger) was Jerry Seinfeld’s guest on the latest episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee and, besides the Super Bowl edition, is the closest thing to an episode of Seinfeld we’ve seen on the show (i.e. it gets pretty awkward over nothing but minutia).

After watching it, this episode could be entitled “The Eye Roll” in the universe of Seinfeld.

Watch it here.

You Probably Won’t See a More Dryly Funny Movie Involving an Avalanche Than “Force Majeure”

November 29, 2014
Uncategorized
dramedy, force majeure, french alps, ruben ostlund, sweden

            

Really, the avalanche is tangential to what’s so funny about Swedish dramedy, “Force Majeure” from Ruben Östlund. A Swedish family of four goes to the French Alps on vacation and goes through briefly traumatic experience, but then goes on to deal with something more profound in how misinformed their traditional gender and family roles are.

If you’re into seeing what appears to be a happily married couple with two kids subversively, but hysterically question why they’re with each other, Force Majeure is the movie for you. 

Catch it in the handful of theaters that it’s still playing it in LA.

CH2’s Takes a Look Behind the Closed Doors of a VO Booth

All the voiceover that you hear on commercials or telling you what time your favorite shows are on are actually recorded by a real person in a recording booth where they say those lines over and over and over.

As you can imagine, that can drive you as well as the people doing the recording a little crazy. So, naturally, a few takes in they may go off the deep end with what they’re recording.

This is the premise for CH2’s Most Insane VO Ever series with Josh Ruben, Kelly Hudson, and Ben Rameaka that we’ve enjoyed and we hope you’ll throughly enjoy too.

Though he had already taped a comedy special that will be coming out in the not so distant future, Jermaine Fowler, somehow, still had yet to perform stand-up on a late night talk show.

Luckily, that changed last night when he got to perform on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and got to tell the world of how his brother got put in Special Ed by mistake.

Watch it here (starting around 35:08) or at CBS.com (around 35:40).

Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever with The Voice of Aubrey Plaza Is What Might Break the Internet

Tonight at 8PM on Lifetime, the melding of the Internet’s love of Grumpy Cat and Aubrey Plaza will be complete as that is when Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever will make its world wide premiere.

For weeks, Aubrey has been saying how insanely meta this movie is and how both the director and Lifetime basically let her say whatever she wanted since they’re not syncing it with Grumpy Cat’s lips at all. 

We can all say how true that statement really is, in addition to see whether this will outdo Kim Kardashian’s butt in attempting to break the Internet, tonight at 8PM.

Also, Plaza encourages you all to live tweet the experience right along with her.

I WILL BE LIVE TWEETING THIS MOVIE TONIGHT. PLEASE JOIN ME. OR DONT. NO ONE CARES. #grumpycatmovie #grumpynightmare pic.twitter.com/MWiSs0JnMC

You Can Get a Sneak Peek at Nikki Glaser’s Comedy Central Talk Show Pilot #NSFW

First off, Nikki Glaser is doing a talk show pilot for Comedy Central. Take a moment to be glad that someone had the sense to make sure Nikki had a chance for another show after Nikki and Sara Live got the ax at MTV. 

The pilot is entitled #NSFW w/Nikki Glaser and will have, appropriate of the title, Nikki discuss and explore the topic of sex, which, if you know her comedy, should be a lot of fun. 

You can actually preview the pilot at Nerdmelt over the next two weeks before Nikki does an official taping for Comedy Central, which we highly recommend going to if you’re in LA for the first two weeks of December.

Tues. Dec. 2nd and Thurs. Dec. 11th both at 7PM are your two chances for previews. They’re free to attend with RSVP, so, again, please go if you can.

This Adult Swim Infomercial Combines Social Media with Going to the Toilet

If you’re an insomniac, you’ve probably noted that Adult Swim has been taking advantage of it’s late night/early morning time slots by making up fake infomercials for the most ridiculous things that they can concoct. 

One of those things is Smart Pipe which is social media done through what you flush down the toilet, as far as we can tell. And, to answer your question, yes, it’s probably NSFW (if you’re watching this at work at 4AM, you might work at a place where your boss is pretty chill).

In any case, you can enjoy this Adult Swim infomercial at any time of the day now.

My new stand up special, “I’m Sorry You Feel That Way” debuts on Netflix next Friday December 5th.

— Bill Burr (@billburr)

December 1, 2014

Right now, so many folks are waiting on every move that Bill Burr makes and rightfully so. Whether it be a vinyl record made from a Carnegie Hall performance over three years ago or any small room where he’ll drop in here in LA or his Monday Morning Podcast, Burr is on a roll with all of it. 

So, on Friday, Dec. 5th, instead of watching the Star Wars VII: Force Awakens trailer a few more times, you’ll be watching his latest stand-up special “I’m Sorry You Feel That Way” when it drops on Netflix on repeat.

China Will Be Doing Their Own Adaptation of “Mad About You”

December 1, 2014
Uncategorized
adaptation, china, helen hunt, huaso, mad about you, paul reiser, sony pictures television

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

After all these years, Mad About You is getting readapted. It’s not a U.S. reboot or something that the Internet has revived, but, rather, it’s a new Chinese adaptation of the 1990’s hit sitcom that starred Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt.

Many comedians currently joke about how China will take over the U.S. based on factors including how they outnumber us, the money that the U.S. owes them, etc. 

However, readapting a hit sitcom from overseas is, these days, pretty American and considering that a classic example of an 90’s American multicam sitcom, Mad About You, this is probably a positive in overall U.S.-China relations.

Kristen Schaal Has Joined the Cast of “Last Man on Earth”

Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s Last Man on Earth starring Will Forte already has people highly anticipated for its series premiere on Mar. 1st. 

Now, the anticipation will possibly be higher as the wonderful Kristen Schaal has joined the cast though it’s not clear how she’ll figure into a series entitled Last Man on Earth.

So, Mar. 1st 9PM on Fox should be in your calendars by now and, if not, then do so ASAP.
