With all the resources you could possibly want when pulling pranks, John Krasinski and Jimmy Kimmel once again go at it, this time prank-a-prank.

For those that missed the pranks from The Office, the spirit of Jim Halpert lives on here.

Don’t Stay Too Late at The Offices of Good Cop, Great Cop

With the hilarious NYC based Good Cop Great Cop, there is no telling what goes on after hours in whatever offices they work at. 

Well, there was no telling until they made a video “documenting” it and it turns you that you probably don’t want to stay too long after clocking out.

14) Saw a guy recently tape the comic before him at an open mic and I warned him that he shouldn’t really be doing that to which he responded, “Oh, I just want to show what a good comedian is like and then me, a bad comedian.” Is that where we are at open mics now? Just being bad for instructional purposes?

6) I got a chance to catch the Tulsa Skull Swingers composed of hilarious people in their own right: Craig Anton, Ron Lynch, Blaine Capatch, and Amit Itelman at 3 Clubs last night. Simply amazing.
