Patrick DeLuca, through Whip It Out Comedy, kindly reminds us that you can yell at your kids, and yell at your friends, but you can’t yell at your friends’ kids. This is the harshest a child has been treated since Alec Baldwin let his daughter know who her daddy is.

Digest this soap

December 13, 2007

Our friends at National Banana are ensnared in a passionate love triangle. They love soap operas, but they are in love with broad parodies. Watch them have their cake and eat it too in General Elevator, a parody of General Hospital, which is basically a parody of itself anyway.

Watch the rest of this lusty lampooning, in the tradition of Airplane!, Naked Gun, and Hot Shots Parts Un through Deux on Crackle.

No, the editors of Cat Fancy don’t cuddle with Persians all day, nor do the writers of Game Pro just sit around playing Halo to their hearts’ content. These are real, hardworking journalists, as are the dedicated professionals at High Times. Thanks, College Humor, for setting the record straight.

Previously in this space, we mentioned World AIDS day and the need to maintain our collective sense of humor in the face of an epidemic. We regretfully ignored another, truly insidious and totally unfunny scourge, one that targets children. Won’t someone please think of the children!?

This Very Important Announcement comes courtesy of our friends at The Pit, NYC; please, for the children’s sake, check out the rest of The Pit’s material on Crackle.

If you’ve ever wished your weatherman didn’t look like a wax sculpture and didn’t talk like a robot, Greg Proops hears you. Watch this Washington, DC weather report, and wish that Proops would consider a career change. Not exactly sketch comedy, per se, but priceless nonetheless.
