Meet @jamesholmesdies, a hideous representation of the very dumbest segment of Twitter culture.
Just when you thought Dane Cook couldn’t get any worse, he goes and does this. It’s like he’s on a mission to be the most hated comedian in America.
It’s okay if you don’t, it didn’t last long. But these are the amazing promo photos for The Bill Engvall Show, where Jennifer played the “scheming teenage daughter.” Thank god for Winter’s Bone. Oh and, The Hunger Games.
When it comes to Saturday Night Live you probably don’t think of these people.
But she’s also really really funny, so here are 28 funny things she said. Happy birthday Aubrey!!
How very disappointing, Adam.
The video gurus at Final Cut King made this awesome short in which they hunt down pikachu. BEWARE, PIKACHU IS REALLY, REALLY CUTE.
During last night’s second-annual Comedy Awards, Matthew Perry called out all of the “idiotic articles” written by men over the past year about how funny women have suddenly become. We agree — women have been funny all along!
Do you recognize these famous faces?
Llamas find the very existence of cows to be one of the most amusing things in the world. And the noises they make? Pure comedy gold.
Romney actually looks pretty dashing with a Zorro-esque cookie duster. Donning one could help him narrow the market on the hipster vote and narrow the generation gap. NOT.
Last night on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” Aziz Ansari talked about his unconventional meet and greet with President Obama. The two already have quite the rapport.
A bunch of funny dudes and Oliva Wilde’s boobs. Okay, then!
Hit, miss, or No1Curr? Here’s the first promotional spot teasing Lindsay Lohan’s return this weekend as host of “Saturday Night Live,” which I caught moments ago during a “Tonight Show” commercial break.
Who knew the former Queen of Daytime could kick so much ass? Oprah Winfrey was the special guest tonight on Jimmy Kimmel’s live post-Oscars broadcast. After some chitchat, Kimmel played footage of a meeting he’d “had” with Winfrey, during which he pitched her on some unconventional show concepts—“Oprah REPOs Her Favorite Things” and “Book Club Fight Club,” for example—for her fledgling network, OWN.
During his opening monologue as host of the Independent Spirit Awards last night, Seth Rogen managed to put Brett Ratner, Chris Brown, and the Grammy Awards in their place in a single joke. He also really liked “Drive” because it made Jews look so scary that he thought Mel Gibson directed it. …Can Seth Rogen also host the Oscars tonight?
What happens when men and women switch roles in every day life? Certainly a tried-and-true concept, but well executed here.

Democracy is finally a funny joke!
Take a look at Amy Poehler and Will Arnett’s baby Abel and tell me he isn’t destined for comedic glory.
Glad to see that Christopher Meloni is taking his time away from “Law & Order: SVU” to show off his comedic talents. Sure, I was a little scared for the man’s carrer when I heard he was joining the cast of “True Blood,” but this sketch about a wacky school assembly run by a crazy man (in the same vein as “Wet Hot American Summer’s” odd hero, Gene) proves the man can still make us laugh.
Stand up comedy’s stressful enough, but are you funny enough to take it to the streets? These comedians do their best work amongst the people and who knows, maybe you’ll encounter them one day. For more Man on the Street hijinks with a game show twist, tune into Funny Or Die’s “Billy on the Street” on Thursdays at 11p/10c on Fuse.
Filmmaker Richard Ramsey (“The Life Project”) and comic John Ramsey turned what most people commonly consider a total embarrassment into a comedy goldmine — their childhood.
