Enjoy these to You Tube clips of the whole “Muppet Christmas Special” which aired in the 80’s. For those cheesy nostalgic types, this may bring back memories.

HERE IS PART ONE:

HERE IS PART TWO:

French & Saunders are the creative duo that masterminded the best sitcom ever created “Absolutely Fabulous”. They also have a variety show called “French & Saunders”, which is just as audacious and fun. This is a bit where Rufus performs “Spotlight On Christmas”. Rufus also did a cameo in one of the last “Ab Fab” episodes a few years ago. Here is a clip from the “French & Saunders Celebrity Christmas Special”.

Man oh man is the Simpson family in trouble again. These girls just can’t seem to muster up enough talent when it comes time to perform in front of some serious people (SNL anyone?). Check out this quite extensive look at the whole Jessica Simpson/Dolly Parton debacle from “Inside Edition”. I think this is pretty hilarious, the girl has nothing going for her but good looks.I just don’t care for her since she butchered one of my all time favorite songs (Robbie Williams, “Angels”). There is no way that Jessica can rebound from this, can she? I hope not.

Chelsea Handler is a funny bitch! Seriously where has she been all my life? Her sense of comedic timing and scandalously funny topics are right up my alley. I watched this episode last night and I couldn’t stop laughing. I get the feeling she is very gay friendly, I would love to see her live doing her stand up. If you get a chance Tivo this show and check it out for yourself!

Remember when Rock Hudson was straight? Or remember when Bea Arthur was still a woman? This bit is hilariously un-PC today, but more relevant now than ever. These were the good old days…

The Lohan is apparently striking back at Paris with this clip! It is nothing earth shattering, just a little bit of truth sprinkled with some wisdom…ahem. This is some funny shit, yo!

If you have a lot of time at work you may want to watch this fascinating documentary on global religion. It asks some pretty controversial questions, and is sure to upset a lot of people. Which may be why we won’t see it here in the states. It seems that European’s are always one step ahead of documenting scandalous material and liberal views.

The title says it all, this is some heavy stuff. Is this pop culture? I say it is pretty innovative and educational if anything. This documentary is absorbing and articulate in its presentation. I think the views expressed by these scholars is eye opening and terrifying. You be the judge yourself! I have posted both part 1 & part 2 of the BBC show below!

Andy Dick is a crazy ass comic madman, his work can be spotty at times, but then he has his moments of brilliance as well. His appearance on “The View” two weeks ago as Daphne Aguillera was classic and uproarious! Here is a clip of his potential comedic genius on “Jimmy Kimmel”. Enjoy, this is some pretty funny stuff!

This clip was pretty shocking when I saw it. I was kind of speechless when it aired, like “how did they get away with that”? I prefer “The Simpson’s” stay out of politics because it is such a universally loved show without controversy.

This was brave and pointed, I wonder if there will be any fallout from this. Even though some markets didn’t get the full version, we did in California and I don’t see why censorship was used in some areas.

This interview is so hilarious I had to post both parts. Sacha Baron Cohen is a FUNNY madman! He delivers joke after joke without breaking character. He is truy insane, and I love every uncomfortable minute of this act. Watch the comic genius at work below!

BELOW IS PART 1

AND HERE IS PART 2

This movie looks like it will be campy and over the top, PERFECT! Tracey Morgan alone is worth at least one viewing. This clip had me rolling with laughter, and got me amped to rent this on DVD. I am a sucker for all of the authentic clothing, retro references and slang. I will give this a chance, even if it is straight to video!

It looks like Faith Hill isn’t a good loser, at least on camera. Last night she was caught reacting to her loss while cameras were still rolling. I guess I’d be pissed off too if some little hussy from American Idol beat me, I just wouldn’t let the cameras catch my reaction.

I mean C’mon on Faith, at least you have that hunky husband Tim McGraw’s shoulder to cry on! Faith appears to be a bad sport, which is sad…this IS just the Country Music Awards (big F’n deal!). This is no different than Kanye West’s reaction this week at the MTV Europe awards. Tacky!!

Have you ever wanted to body slam Britney Spears dead beat husband? Would you get joy out of seeing him physically thrown and getting his ass kicked? I would!

K-Fed is a universally loathed douche bag, so it is refreshing and cathartic to see him get his dues, no matter how fake the set up. K-Fed showed up on RAW to debut his song and acting style, both with sad results. K-Fed is not believable or authentic in any way!. We all know that wrestling is the male version of soap operas including bad acting, sex and absurd plots.

I just like seeing Mr. Spears getting the bitch slap he has been deserving for so long. I mean check out the douchebag braids he wore in the posted picture above.

Lots of people do not know that Borat is a character from the British born HBO show “Da Ali G Show”. Below is a scene from that show and gives you a feel for the upcoming movies humor. Just in case you are not aware of it, “Da Ali G Show” is a hidden joke spoof like “Punk’d” and is mostly improvised by Sacha Baron Cohen.

He is a comedic genius and as I have said before “Borat” will be huge. If you didn’t know, he also was in “Taladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby”. His turn as the French NASCAR racer is totally hilarious and shows his range with wide talent. He is a chameleon and can change himself to fit any over the top character.
