Though a lot of the latest batch of Channel 101 is Halloween themed, we’re betting you probably haven’t taken your Halloween decorations just yet and can still get in the Halloween spirit.

It really shouldn’t matter what time of year it is; just get into/catch up on Channel 101 here.

Though the Christmas ads popping up before web videos might say otherwise, it is indeed Halloween. 

Thus, you’re probably getting your costumes, decorations, etc. ready for tonight. Before you get too into preparations, perhaps you should take some tips from some of comedy’s best and brightest.

Conan O’Brien’s prop master Bill Tull has some budget costume tips. 

Stephen Colbert has a quick how to guide on how to carve jack-o-lanterns.

Also, Dan Harmon has advice to specifically dress like Dan Harmon if that’s something you’d be into.

While you might not have the scariest Halloween, you’ll have plenty of fun doing all of the above, screwing up pumpkins and costumes for cheap.

As a great description of Donald Trump’s appearance involves a pumpkin, Josh Androsky took submissions for the best jack-o-lanterns carved into a representation of the Republican presidential candidate.

After picking his favorite, Androsky made sure that the eerie visage was in Trump’s sight by taking it near his very own building and then making sure everyone else on the street saw it as well be clear on Trump’s platform thus far.

If that’s not trolling for greatness, then you’re probably like the one Trump supporter Josh meets.

Sure demonically possessed toys are creepy. Sentient toys that have a penchant for darker annals of human history are also creepy, but pretty funny when you put them in the context of WikiBear on Conan.

So, with that in mind, what better way to get ready for Halloween then hear the soothing voice of toy teddy bear tell you about Jeffrey Dahmer. Watch the latest installment of WikiBear here.

The Halloween edition of Conan O’Brien’s Clueless Gamer had Conan O’Brien go into PC game territory and play what are considered some of the more scary games you can play.

Of course, as a monster isn’t in reality trying to stab, eat, or cut you up, Conan makes plenty of verbal jabs that we’re sure would hurt the monsters feelings. Watch the silliness here.

ABC Having ‘Toy Story’ TV Special for Halloween

As far as the Toy Story franchise concerned, we guess it might have only been a matter of time before a TV version would come about as we’re sure it has probably been discussed frequently. Ever since Toy Story 3, there has been digital shorts featuring various “toys” here and there released by Pixar, but, if anything, we’re happy to see that it’s a Halloween special that doesn’t have to worry about a season arc. 

With that being said, be sure to catch Toy Story of TERROR airs on ABC 8PM Oct. 16th.

Morning Debriefing 10/28/10

1) Despite showing up late, Beer in the Shower @ White Horse Inn Cocktail Lounge, catching Nick Vatterott and Jerry Rocha w/host Paul Danke was THE WAY to close out a Wednesday night especially if someone said about everything you’ve written a few hours earlier, “I don’t understand any of your fuckin’ shit, man.  What the hell is going on your head? I can tell you don’t sleep.  You should sleep and stop writing.”  If only I skipped my screenwriter’s group, I would have caught the hilarity of Shawn Pearlman, Eddie Pepitone, and Fortune Feimster.  Catch Beer in the Shower every Wednesday, 10PM @ White Horse.

2) Just because its miles outside of LA proper, doesn’t mean that there’s nothing funny about Long Beach.  Comedians Chris Adams and Jerry Brandt prove that in spades and THEN SOME with their weekly podcast Drinking Buddies.  This week, longtime LA comedy vet Don Barris and the hilarious Tim Babb talk everything from comedy to Disneyland to rape and, of course, drinking.  See how everything connects here. 

3) “Jesse Miller.  Straight up.” –Andre Hyland.  Every few weeks at the AMAZING Anna Lee Lawson Comedy Hour @ The Next Stage Theatre, Andre Hyland transforms into Jesse Miller and takes over with the Jesse Miller Talk Show (next one’s in November).  Check out Jesse on a Trikke.  Again, it’s straight up.

4) From the World Famous Comedy Garage, quintessential hipster LA comedian Paul Danke gives you some advice on Halloween costumes so you don’t look totally lame, unless you’re being ironic, well, then, you know what I mean….  Check it on Funny or Die here.

5) There will be a brand new open mic in town at Señor Fish in Little Tokyo starting Nov. 9th. Happy hour w/$3 beers & $2 fish tacos and more details coming soon.
