Like with so many things that they deconstruct with goofy abandon, John Mulaney and Nick Kroll dove into their opening monologue for last night’s Spirit Awards with the same freewheeling, devil-may-care spirit.

You’ll notice that they pick apart the idea of an awards show monologue, trope by trope, while effortlessly going through actual jokes and then closing with a particularly spectacular finish.

Watch it all here.

The latest episode of Full Frontal with Samantha Bee might be one of the best yet as Samantha Bee was as sharp and merciless as she has ever been.

Bee brings light to important issues of rape kits going untested and the representation of atheists, specifically within the conservative side of the aisle.

In each instance, she also puts on a clinic on how to tell rape jokes and does one of the best Werner Herzog parodies in recent memory.

If you’re still worried about comedy tackling the hard issues and news of today in this post-Jon Stewart era, take a look at Full Frontal with Samantha Bee again.

In one of the more fascinating guest star roles this past year, Parks and Recreation has managed to get the ever-enigmatic director Werner Herzog to do a guest role on the show. It’s the final season, so we’re glad to see that they got some fun stuff up their sleeve

Herzog didn’t reveal much details about what he’s role would be, but we’re sure that Werner would be fascinated by Ron Swanson.
