2) CNN has comedy? Oh, it’s with Maria Bamford… [via Punchline Magazine]

3) Yesterday, hashtag game #DescribeYourPenisWithaMovie trended on Twitter and though you may have skipped metaphorical descriptions of male genitalia on your Twitter feed (and we understand), here are the five that are damn funny no matter what your stance on penis tweets are.
Wendy Liebman-@WendyLiebman Missing
Jim Hegarty-@JimHegarty The Untouchables
Steve Agee-@SteveAgee There Will Be Blood
Ryan Stout-@StoutRyan-Kids
Megan Amram-@MeganAmram The Hurt Locker (#describeyourvaginawithamovietitle) 

4) In the tradition of Follow Friday on Twitter, we here at the Comedy Bureau are going to give 3 weekly picks as to who killed it on Twitter over a seven day period and thus follow. THIS WEEK: Matt Knudsen-@MattKnudsen, Abbey Londer-@abbeylonder, Andrés Du Bouchet-@dubouchet.

5) LA Noire in real life.

Real Life L.A. Noire – watch more funny videos

6) A pilot taping starring Paul F. Tompkins needs audience members!!! E-mail tmsaudience@gmail.com if you want to join in.

Garfunkel and Oates is looking for guys and girls who could be available for one or several days Tues-Friday next week. There are opportunities for men and women to be in featured parts. This is non-paid, non-union work. It’s also best if you live in the Los Angeles area or can get here on your own. We do not pay for travel or other expenses.

We are also looking for women over 18 who might be interested in some more specific roles. There will be some pay for these roles only.

Please send a phone number, photo, your full name and your availability from June 20 to June 24, plus any questions to gandocasting@gmail.com. 

9) Larry David on the Tonight Show-Part 1–Part 2

10) We’ve talked about making sure you watch when Louie (Thurs. June 23rd 10:30PM on FX) and Futurama (also Thurs. June 23rd at 10PM on Comedy Central) come back, but make absolutely sure that you watch when the Green Room with Paul Provenza makes its return to Showtime on Thurs. July 14th 11PM.

14) Do people know how to genuinely laugh anymore? Can you be the only person laughing and not be embarrassed? I’m starting to suspect that people can’t do either of these things or maybe I just like laughing at suicide jokes and people inappropriately (or appropriately depending on how you look at it) clapping at it.
