November 24, 2015

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

Netflix is smart to stay in the Bob Odenkirk business.

WIth Bob & David has only been on Netflix for a little bit and already, Netflix is planning their next move with Bob by picking up the film he stars in and co-wrote with Philip Zlotorynski and Eric Hoffman, Girlfriend’s Day.

In the movie, Odenkirk, as a greeting card writer, tries to clear his name from being accused of murder.

Like, Beasts of No Nation, you’ll have the chance to see it in limited release in theaters as well as on Netflix.

Between Better Call Saul, With Bob & David, this film, and probably more on the way, we’re glad to see Odenkirk back in the limelight as big as he has ever been.

Coming to theater and VOD next week, Adam Pally and Rosa Salazar really test the limits of how two people should haphazardly fall in love in the film festival hit Night Owls.

Just see it in this trailer, then look for its release on Fri. Dec. 4th.

Futurama Is Coming Back in Mobile Game Form

(via Uproxx)

Shut up and take my… oh, you know the drill by now.

Futurama: Game of Drones will be the latest connection to the beloved series Futurama that fans keep alive enough to justify something new. Futurama writer and producer Patric Verrone is on board along with Wooga and Fox Digital Entertainment in case you’re wondering how in line this game will be with the actual series.

As you might imagine, a game version of Futurama will involve their very ill advised deliveries in competition with another interstellar delivery service.

So, at this point, it would seem that Futurama fans only need to wait a few years for some new Futurama-related release to come around.

If you think Thanksgiving doesn’t get enough songs honoring it, just think about what World Toilet Day must feel like.

“Anomalisa” and “A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Refelecting on Existence” Are Nominated for 2016 Spirit Awards

November 25, 2015

a pigeon sat on a branch reflecting on existence, anomalisa, charlie kaufman, duke johnson, film independent, roy andersson, spirit awards

It may not be a lot, but Anomalisa racked up 4 nominations.

Thought provoking dramas comprise the majority of this year’s field of nominees at The Film Independent Spirit Awards with such excellent entries as Spotlight and Diary of a Teenage Girl.

However, comedies, albeit thought provoking ones, found their way in.

Charlie Kaufman’s Anomalisa, which we have only heard praise for, is up for Best Feature, Best Director (w/Duke Johnson), Best Screenplay, and Best Female Lead (Jennifer Jason Leigh).

The brilliant Swedish existential comedy A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence from Roy Andersson is up for Best International Film.

You can the rest of the nominees here.

Hopefully, either or both will take home a statue to offer something not so sobering in the field of winners. The ceremony takes places at the end of February next year.

Jennifer Lawrence Set to Direct Comedy “Project Delirium”

November 25, 2015

jennifer lawrence, project delirium

Lawrence has got Oscar bait and big tentpole film franchises under her belt. Now, on to comedy.

Project Delirum will be the second comedy project that Jennifer Lawrence currently has in the works. Already, she writing a sisters comedy with Amy Schumer and now she’s attached to direct this feature delving into the drug-fueled military experiments of the 60s and how wrong they went.

If her successes from Winter’s Bone to Silver Linings Playbook to The Hunger Games to more as well as her hitting it off as friends with Schumer and her general off camera demeanor suggest anything, we’d wager that she’s going to make a big splash in comedy coming up.

Watch the Premiere of “Neon Joe: Werewolf Hunter” Projected on a ‘Beaver Moon’ Within a YouTube Video Thanks to Adult Swim

November 25, 2015

adult swim, jon glaser, neon joe werewolf hunter

Everything here is as exactly as you read in the headline, though we’re not exactly sure about the “beaver” part.

Adult Swim put the premiere of Jon Glaser’s Neon Joe: Werewolf Hunter on YouTube ahead of the premiere that’s less than two weeks away. However, to entice you to tune in on Mon. Dec. 7th at midnight to watch the actual, unaltered televised premiere, they have put this whole first episode with a caveat.

They “projected” it onto an image of a moon, which they’re calling a “beaver moon” because if you can watch stuff on a beaver moon, why wouldn’t you?

Still, you can watch the whole episode in its entirety for free, courtesy of the fine folks of Adult Swim. Maybe some of you prefer ‘beaver moon definition’ as opposed to HD?

Yes, this is The Duplass Brothers produced animated series where animals talk and have human problems.

The first of two seasons that have been ordered of Animals kicks off on Fri. Feb. 5th, 2016 at 10:30PM at HBO. Creators Phil Matarese & Mike Luciano have a lot to look forward to as this will be only the third adult-aimed animated series that HBO has ever done. The other two are The Ricky Gervais Show and The Life and Times of Tim.

This means Animals, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, and more are set make February a pretty great month for comedy on TV.

Greg Proops “In the Ball Park” Comes Out This Week from AST Records

November 25, 2015

a special thing, ast records, comedy album, greg proops, in the ball park

Whether it comes to wit, verve, his command of the English language, and his seemingly inexhaustable knowledge of the world, Greg Proops never lets up.

On his sixth record, In The Ball Park, Proops not only shows he can keep up with the changing times in comedy, but can thrive in it on his own terms. You’ll notice on this album, just like much of his discography, that Greg still shifts gears flawlessly between topics, ranging from gun control to white pants to baseball, jokes, jokes within jokes, etc. without needing to take a breath.

You can see what we’re saying when you listen to this track.

In The Ball Park comes out on this Fri. Nov. 27th, but you can and should pre-order it now on iTunes or on vinyl from AST Records.

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

Trevor Noah has not only put South Africa on the map comedy-wise, but him hosting at The Daily Show will have given African comedy a big spark.

For the next 3 years and potentially longer, Comedy Central will be hosting an international comedy festival, simply called The Comedy Central International Comedy Festival. Its inaugural run will take place very soon in Johannesburg, South Africa which will be the perfect place to stage a homecoming for the network’s newest franchise star, Trevor Noah.

With Comedy Central’s banner flying at the festival, the likes of Jeff Ross, Hannibal Buress, and more will be on the same stages as some of African comedy’s rising stars.

Thousands upon thousands are expected to be in attendance and if that does indeed happen, this festival will be in the league with JFL Montreal and The Melbourne International Comedy Festival i.e. the biggest comedy festivals in the world.

This Thanksgiving, Conan Finds the One Poor Guy Who Isn’t Thankful

November 26, 2015

andres du bouchet, conan, thanksgiving

While you’re enjoying your turkey and the company of friends and family this Thanksgiving, know that there’s at least one person who isn’t thankful for, well, anything.

Conan O’Brien found that guy in his audience last week and this is what he had to say for himself.

Happy Thanksgiving (we guess?)!!!

R.I.P. Andy Ritchie

November 27, 2015

andy ritchie, rip

Another comedian has left us all far too early.

Yesterday, on Thanksgiving, Andy Ritchie, passed away after a long battle with brain cancer. Brendon Walsh wrote this on the GoFundMe page that has raised over $100K to pay for Andy’s medical bills (note: Brendon has asked for the donations to stop coming in):

Andy passed away this afternoon at Hollywood Presbyterian. His mom, Ruby, and his brother Simon were all with him.

I don’t know what else to say. He was a great guy. Listen to his album on Spotify or download it or whatever. He’s hilarious.

Thanks for everything you all did to help. Have a good Thanksgiving.

Love,
Brendon

Andy was loved by many including Daniel Tosh, who boosted the fundraising campaign by giving it national attention on Tosh.0. His craftsman like jokes and his genuinely good nature made an impression on everyone he met, especially throughout the comedy community.

We were at The Happy New Year Show, earlier this week, run by some of Andy’s best friends, Chuck Watkins and Doug Mellard, who impromptu made their New Year’s themed show a wonderful tribute to Andy even though Andy hadn’t passed on at the time.

It takes a special comedian and person for such a thing to happen at a comedy show.

So, let us remember Andy the best way we can remember any comedian by sharing his jokes with the world that didn’t get to hear them just yet.

Whatever your stance on KFC is, you can’t help but be charmed by Norm MacDonald in an all white suit as the iconic Colonel Sanders. It’s not unlike when Maria Bamford did all those holiday ads for Target all those years ago.

This latest batch of ads features Norm as a holiday version of the Colonel and, if anything, should get you in the mood for this marathon of a holiday season.

Jimmy Pardo Doing The Next Pardcastathon Next Year in March

In case you were wondering what was missing today, it was Never Not Funny’s annual Pardcastathon.

For those not into indulging into unbridled consumerism on Black Friday, the amazing Jimmy Pardo usually had the perfect alternative by doing a 12 hour Never Not Funny marathon with a plethora of the funniest people around and celebrities doing various goofs and funny business to raise money for Smile Train.

Well, according to this tweet, they’re postponing it from its usually scheduled date to Sat. March 5th, 2016, perhaps with something a little bigger up their sleeve. Let your imagination run wild with Pardo and company (Matt Belknap, Pat Francis, and more) could be brewing up.

In the meantime, you can still support the great charity that is Smiletrain by donating here.

Normally being drunk and rockets should never ever mix.

Here’s Another Preview for Jermaine Fowler’s First Hour Special “Give’em Hell Kid”

We’re pretty sure Jermaine Fowler is going to make a very big and very, very good impression with his first hour special, Give’em Hell Kid, premiering on Showtime on Dec. 11th.

This latest preview clip should provide more evidence of this claim.
