HUMOR
Valentine's Day A-Cometh
That's right it's Valentine's Day; the celebration of being love or feeling really shitty that you're not in love. In honor of the occasion, the folks at Comedy.com had me put together a little video of the funniest I love yous from comedy history.
Enjoy!
Joke-e-oke In The News
Joke-e-oke is in the news. Our friend Ali MacLean did a great write up about our show at SF Sketchfest. Ali was one of our Joke-e-oke finalist at our star-studded show, which featured celebrity comedy judges Paul Provenza, Mark Pitta, Rick Overton.
The legendary Purple Onion was an awesome venue to perform at.
We had a really great crowd, which included comedy legend Robin Williams.
Check out Ali's complete story here. In the meantime here's a taste of our Joke-e-oke champ Kozumi:
Scott and Stacey on the BBC!
We were on the radio!
OK. So it was Radio Ulster.
But that still counts!
You can listen to the whole show or fast forward to about 1:30 to where we are.
The woman in the group that played after us is our catsitter!
Pick Up Artists Eat Their Own At The PUA World Summit
A few years back I read the Neil Strauss book, The Game.
It was a good, funny read that jumped into the sleazy, and sort of depressing, world of pick up artists. The book centered on the king of pick up artists: a guy who goes by the name Mystery and teaches his patented Mystery Method to awkward men at his seduction seminars.
But it's now a new era of the pick up artists. My friend Ali MacLean ventured to the 2009 PUA World Summit in Los Angeles. Tarting herself up in order to throw meat into the shark cage, what she discovered was a new generation of pick artists who now turn on the success of Mystery and his Mystery Method. Yes, in the new age of pick artists guys just want to be taken as sensitive souls (before they try to get inside their target's pants.)
Meeting speakers with names like Hypnotica, Speer, Mehow and Sexual Chocolate, here’s what she discovered. You might feel like washing your hands after viewing:
Read more of Ali's stuff at Ali On The Air. Para-Sailin' with Sarah Palin
Despite leftist harrassment from my colleagues, I've decided to remain on board as this website's sole voice of the (dumb-ass conservative - Ed) people. May the socialists Harmon Leon, El Flojo, and the others be damned.
Unlike myself, Sarah Palin has recently decided to cater to the bleeding-heart Demos and their twisted obsession with sick people. Last Sunday, she risked life and limb at the "Parasailing for a Cure" event held off the shore of Key West, Florida.
I had the amazing opportunity to interview this woman whom many consider "the greatest vice-presidential 'almost-was' since J. Danforth Quayle" just a few minutes before she was soaring above the Atlantic.
What Wacky T-shirt Would Jesus Wear?
Who says Jesus doesn't have a sense of humor?
Yes, Freedom Haters asked for it and Freedom Haters got it: more wacky Christian T-shirts. Earlier this week Jesus did a little parody of our favorite social network sites, now Jesus has done a little culture jamming and stuck to the corporations and "The Man" by riffing on their logos. Way to go edgy, Jesus!
I don't think jokes are needed for these, but if you have one Freedom Haters would love to hear it.
Enjoy!

Once Again Yet Another Salute: Stuff White People Like
Yet once again Freedom Haters salutes the hugely popular one-joke-wonder that is Stuff White People Like. Think of the site as the Everyone Loves Raymond of the snarky sect. Even though people might not find Stuff White People Like to be funny, they will still pass it around to their white coworkers to show that they too are snarky. Freedom Haters knows this and that's why we are doing yet another parody of the site.
Here're a few more new entries that Freedom Haters made to Stuff White People Like:
Charlie Sheen Talks to Obama about 9/11 (kind of)
From the prisonplanet web site:
Reported by Charlie Sheen
I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with our 44th President of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama, while he was out promoting his health care reform initiative. I requested 30 minutes given the scope and detail of my inquiry; they said I could have 20. Twenty minutes, 1200 seconds, not a lot of time to question the President about one of the most important events in our nation’s history. The following is a transcript of our remarkable discussion.
No, this is not an actual transcript.
It's pretend.
Make believe.
Like most of the 9/11 conspiracy theories.
In the "transcript", Mr. Sheen interviews Obama about 9/11. He brings out the Operation Northwoods document about a staged attack by US forces as a pretext for invading Cuba. Listen guys, we've said this once. We'll say it again: IF THE US GOVERNMENT WANTED TO KEEP IT SECRET, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN KEPT A SECRET.
Other "groundbreaking" new evidence includes the no plane at the Pentagon theory and the Collapse of WTC 7.
Apparently, while he was making stuff up, Mr. Sheen added a line from Obama about how he was a fan of Two and a Half Men, one of the worst TV shows in history. Hey, as long as you're going to make up stuff about the US Government killing 2,000 of it's own citizens, why not?
Go read the whole thing. It's a doozie.
TRIVIA: You know the kid on Two and A Half Men? He was from Texas. His mom used to be a waitress at The Velveta Room. Really.
King of the Hill in Space!!!
I started doing standup in Austin, Texas back in the 1990s.
One of the regulars at the club was a gentleman by the name of Johnny Hardwick. At the time, he was going by the stage moniker of "John Wally".
He was a pretty damn funny guy. He would do a character called "Little Johnny Aneurysm" where he would do jokes and then the DJ would play a sound effects record with a drill noise on it. Johnny would pretend like he was having a brain aneurysm and then - bravely - continue on with the show.
This was before he was on stage at The Velveeta Room and someone had a heart attack.
Another of the greats at The Velveeta Room was a gentlemen by the name of Howard Beecher. Howard would walk up to you after you just did a set and - even though you killed - would ask you, "Did you go up yet?"
You might know Johnny because he eventually wound up becoming the voice of Dale Gribble on King of the Hill.
One day, in 1993, Howard and Johnny - along with some others - made a movie.
Howard finally got around to putting it online.
Anyway, here it is:
