Fun Video Friday – Sifl & Olly and The Tooth Fairy

Being a teenager in the 90’s meant that I had access to two of the funniest things ever to be played on MTV: The State and Sifl & Olly. I’ve mentioned The State before  but today I want to share with you a sketch that I still find very funny – Sifl & Olly Interview The Tooth Fairy.

I love everything about this: The design of The Tooth Fairy, the threats to call lawyers, and “I think you’re a cheap ho.”

Things were different in the 90’s, especially if you were a teenager with a penchant for the ridiculous. A few things haven’t aged as well for me, for example I used to think Ren and Stimpy was hysterical but now I find it almost un-watchable, but Sifl & Olly… This sketch always brings a smile to my face. It’s crescent fresh.

See you next time!

A Reason to Like Ventriloquism

Not everyone is a fan of the art of throwing your voice. Some see it as creepy or odd, but I have always enjoyed hearing people make other things talk.

Nina Conti is well known for her work with a puppet named Monk, but she has an all human act as well, and here is a video of it that I found particularly funny and an example of how easy it is to get people to play along with live performances.

Let me know what you think in the comments!

See you next time!

Ray on Funny or Die!

Some of you may recognize my father-in-law, Ray, from some of the Wiggy Webs experiments we did a year or so ago. Well, it managed to land him a gig on a video now featured on FunnyorDie! Follow the link above to see it at the site and rate it, or just watch it here:

More Ray?!? No WAY!

The new Story time with Ray is up! And to keep with the family friendly theme that he’s been on this week’s discussion is all about toilet paper and pooping.

See you tomorrow!

PARTY FROG!

I think this is an important message about how social norms are effected by groups, mob mentality and how easily they can be coerced through blind consumerism and socially acceptable hedonism.

Totally kidding, these animals are funny!

See you tomorrow!

Cool H-wip

I love this clip, Rene and I laugh about it a lot. Forgive the unanticipated hulu.com plug. It’s so invasive that I refuse to hot-link to it, but the joke is still funny. I also feel like they missed a very obvious “hair pie” joke, or the network may have squashed it. Whateves.

Enjoy!

See you tomorrow!

D-Bag Solidarity

I’m scared that this movement might come, but it’s worth it for the funny.

It’s funny ‘cuz it’s true.

It’s Cheese!

I enjoy pop culture. I memorize song lyrics, tag lines and slogans. I also use them in “inside jokes” all the time. Tonight I wanted to let Rene inside a joke I’ve had since Junior High, but not really used in a while, “It’s cheese!”

I think it’s hysterical.

To let her in I found the commercial it was stolen from on YouTube. Here it is:

When I was a pre-teen/teen I found this HYSTERICAL! Now, whenever I can, I describe cheese this way, but I remember the “it’s cheese!” line bigger, more scared and, therefore, funnier. This next commercial, however, is exactly as I remember it, and is still one of my featured “go to” jokes when I improv:

These Little Ceasar’s commercials were some of the greatest of my childhood/adolescence. To this day they still work in getting me to crave Crazy Bread. They helped to groom my love of the ridiculous. We don’t get a lot of commercials like this anymore. Now we have “high concepts” and dramatic commercials, but sometimes I really miss the days of camp and “set-up/punchline” gags.

Here’s one last one, for old time’s sake. See you tomorrow!
