A lot of people try to do sketch comedy and seem to rely on slick editing, music or beating the premise into the ground without payoff. Whitest Kids U Know is one of the few sketch groups around today that always find a way to establish clever premises and successfully twist them with a solid punchline.

They clearly take their time and develop their comedy. Enjoy this sketch.

Lucky Louie was a brilliantly subversive, traditionally-taped sitcom that ran for one season on HBO. It is a terrible shame that it was canceled and we’re left with schlocky crap like Two and a Half Men.

Nevertheless, it was created and starred Louis C.K. and included an all-star alternative comedy cast including Pamela Adlon, Jim Norton, Jerry Minor, Mike Hagerty, and Rick Shapiro.

If you haven’t seen it yet, I strongly recommend picking up the DVD or renting the show from Netflix.

Weirdos will not be disappointed.

TV Funhouse was a short-lived, highly subversive, adult version of Saturday morning kid’s programming that ran on Comedy Central in 2000. The brilliant Robert Smigel took his Saturday Night Live success and compiled a fantastic team of writers including Dino Stamatopolous, Jon Glaser and Bob Odenkirk.

The show was just released on DVD and if you haven’t seen it, please check it out. You absolutely will not regret exposing yourself to one of the best weirdo-driven comedies of all time.

Lately, I have been immersed in the absolutely brilliant British comedy The League of Gentlemen. Part Simpsons, part sketch comedy and entirely subversive, black and bizarre - this show is mandatory viewing for comedy weirdos.

This skit stars Papa Lazarou, an insane circus ringleader who steals women and forces them into his twisted harem. I can understand if this concept isn’t for everyone but it’s like catnip laced with crack for us weirdos.

Here is a hilarious, crudely taped interview with America’s Funnyman - Neil Hamburger. Mr. Hamburger is the stand-up comedian character of Gregg Turkington and he’s a brilliant, seedy curmudgeon. If you don’t think this is funny…perhaps you’re just not cut out to be a weirdo.

Special Note: This contains three parts so after the first clip is done, simply hover over the player to choose the next clip or use the arrows on the edge.

Chris Elliott’s Action Family is a brilliant spoof on cheesy family-based sitcoms as well as 70’s cop dramas that he and the writers of Late Night with David Letterman made for Cinemax in 1986. It is wickedly absurd, unrelentingly silly and borderline retarded. In other words, it’s funny as hell and 100% Chris Elliott.

I realize that not all of you weirdos will like this enough to get through the whole episode but for the handful of you that will - you’re welcome!

The Symbols On My Flag (And What They Mean)
By Jack Handey

The bra and panties stand for women’s rights.

Davy Crockett shaking hands with Daniel Boone symbolizes how we need to put aside our differences.

The skull and crossbones, in the lower right corner, stands for pirates, and all that they have given us.

The angel holding the sword represents how guns are nice but swords are more of a “heavenly” thing.

The plow with the four-leaf clover symbolizes the luck of the farmer.

The quicksand represents the travails of life. The hand sticking out of it is so you know it’s quicksand and not just a dirty spot on the flag.

The bat stands for eternal life, through our lord Dracula.

The sheaf of wheat symbolizes the bounty of the land, and the hope that soon more things will come in sheaves.

The parrot represents the need to communicate, even if it’s only squawks.

The tin of paprika stands for paprika, a spice I hope to learn more about.

The triskelion indicates that I know what a triskelion is.

The sun on the horizon makes you wonder, Is it rising or setting? And is it our sun or a weird invader sun? The five rays coming out of the sun symbolize the five times that I have had sex.

The big word “NO” refers to the boy running with the pair of scissors. If you look closer, you can see that he also has a pair of scissors sticking in his thigh and another in his belly. This symbolizes the need for kids not to run with scissors, especially if they’ve already been stuck by scissors.

The bulldozer pushing over the pine tree stands for progress. And the bluebird flying out of the tree symbolizes the way bluebirds fly off when you knock down their trees.

The rose stands for blood. So does the sparkling ruby. And so does the bucket with “Blood” written on the side. All hail Dracula!

The eagle, you will note, is the centerpiece of my flag. It symbolizes freedom. Also the ability to see far away, so you can spot somebody doing something fishy and get him locked up.

In his talon, the eagle is holding a clutch of arrows. This symbolizes the growing problem of Indian litterbugs. Wrapped around the eagle’s other talon is a big ball of fishing line, which represents my love of fishing.

The banner in the eagle’s beak, if you can’t read it, says “Courage, Valor, Dignity, ANTS!!”

It’s easy to tell what some of the symbols on my flag mean. The tweezers symbolize tweezing. The dog symbolizes doggies. Good boy! Good doggie! But the meaning of other symbols is not so clear, even to me. What does the T. rex stepping on the Martian mean? Perhaps scholars can figure it out.

My flag started out as nothing more than the word “NO” on a blank background and has evolved over the years. Recently, my friend Don told me that my flag had too many symbols, that it was “cluttered.” I wanted to punch him, but instead I ran out into the howling storm, fell on my knees, and railed against the night. “Why me, Lord?” I sobbed. “Why me?” Then I saw my flag, illuminated by my spotlight and my rotating Christmas color wheel, flying proudly above the tool shed. As the flag snapped in the wind, some of my symbols, which I guess I hadn’t sewn on too well, flew off like leaves. There were also some real leaves blowing by, but mostly it was symbols. And I thought, Maybe Don’s right. Maybe I do need to “thin out” my flag. So I wound up removing some of the symbols, leaving only the ones you see here today. If it’s still “cluttered,” then so be it. I would rather have a cluttered flag than one that has no meaning whatsoever.

Neil Hamburger is a brilliant character-based stand up comedian that I think is hilarious. Basically, he is satirizing an awful, washed-up, Vegas comedian. The result are fantastic and I’m going to see him live in a couple of weeks. Enjoy.

Y’all So Stupid is a bizarre animation series by Devin Flynn that plays like a hallucinogenic-fueled descent into madness. I’ve been waiting a couple of months to post one of these but haven’t found the right one until now…I hope. I’m still not sure if anyone will like this.
