Comedy Thong, Day 6
It’s M.A.Peel here, reporting in from Comedy Central, the one where you don’t have to worry about the writers going on strike. FINALLY we will learn what the purest moments of comedy are for bloggers of every ilk across the blogosphere . . . or other things somewhat approximating that idea.
Nov. 11
LazyEyeTheatre’s Piper comes off of Double Secret Probation to sing the praises of the cafeteria scene in Animal House, Cathleen Rittereiser wends her way through many moments before landing on an important David Steinberg bit, and Mr. Pelican offers a double decker post.
Nov. 10
“An overly emotional, overly excitable teenage girl residing in London,” sends us a charming take on from our friends Mr. Potato Head and Woody from Toy Story.
Nov. 9
Noel Vera muses, ” In this age of high-concept comedies . . . going back to a modest, semi-forgotten little comedy like Carl Reiner’s Oh God! can literally be, well, a godsend.”
Nov. 8
Tim Susman recounts a moment of nearly unbelievable RL slapstick.
The Man from Porlock engagingly reminds us why “Tootsie is the greatest modern showcase of the strengths of classical comedy structure.”
Nov. 7
Gee bobg tells us of a ninth-grade talent show, access TV, and a country county they called CHUD! that led to “astonished looks on our faces as the crowd dissolved into screaming laughter.” Good times.
Nov.6
Therapydoc offers a mixture of angels-on-a-pin/theological whimsey, and Jeremy sends a good old-fashioned joke via Blue Girl’s encouragement.
Jennifer gets into the spirit with a tale of an improv class at Chicago’s Second City Conservatory Program that really took off, and in that experiential vein, I offer a tale of unintentional hilarity at a Mensa meeting I attended, with respects to Mr. Allen.
As for pure fiction, Kathleen sends us a fabulous piece of her novel, which we can call Dominus Nabisco 
We have our first Film Guy post. Oggs talks us into how funny Joyce Bernal’s Booba is, and why he returns to it “for a dose of much-needed chuckles during my most stress filled days.”
