Sarah & Demetri Are Back (to Back)

The Sarah Silverman Program and Important Things with Demitri Martin return on Comedy Central tonight, bringing the grand total of shows I watch on Thursdays to…all of them. Enjoy this promotional music video:

I don’t know much about this season on Demetri, except that my friend Megan Ganz writes there and I can endorse her as being cool and funny. As for SSP, I have it on good authority that this season will be the strangest and most enjoyable yet. Who is this authority? I’ll never tell. The day this site gives up its sources is the day we close up shop and become a snitch factory. I SAID I AIN’T TELLIN’! Quit buggin’ me, don’t you got some tv to watch?

Hard Truths with Louis C.K.

Some jokes are only meant for Mondays, when our desire for awful things to happen to decent people is at its peak. Ever seen an old person slip n’ fall on a Monday? Funny as the first three Police Academy movies. On a Saturday? Sad as the last three. This joke be one of them muhahahahaha eeeeeeevil jams. Prepare to laugh hard and then feel bad about it tomorrow.

Louie CK has been wrong before, but this time ain’t one of ‘em. Or at the very least he’s Monday right, which I believe will hold up in a court of law. Check out his stand-up concert film when it stops being friends with only uppity Sundance and starts partying with normal folks like us.

Delivering Endless Midnights

In honor of t.j’s trip to Sketchfest and the bygone era once referred to as “Re-Post Tuesdays,” here is the latest hilarious video from The Midnight Show. If you don’t laugh your face is broken. Fix your face.

How’s your face? Good? Good. Tune in later for t.j’s madcap recap of his weekend with TMS in San Francisco. And best of luck with your face.

Reel Quotable

Best sketch of 2010. Sure, I know we’re only like ten days in, but sometimes you have a breakfast so great you don’t crave lunch or dinner.

Sir Charles, I now see why you were knighted.

Same As It Ever Was

2010 is off to a pretty great start. I can already envision a few classic Ben catastrophes brewing and couldn’t be more excited for them. Past Ben catastrophes have been known to shit their pants in K-Marts and dangle off cliffs by their fingertips. Really, they’re a pretty damn good time for everyone.

Speaking of pretty damn good times, SNL returns this weekend for the first show of 2010. I know, as kids we all thought SNL would be live in 3-D from the moon by now, with host Martianface McFlyingcar and musical guest Wyld Stallyns. Well, that hasn’t happened yet. Saturday Night Live is still filmed live in 2-D at Studio 8A in 30 Rockefeller Center. The host is still almost always a human being. And the musical guest is almost always a band that actually exists. Just like it has been for the last 35 years.

Sometimes it’s fun to note how much things have changed, other times it’s nice to revel in how much they’ve stayed the same. In a tradition established at this blog, here is the preview for tomorrow night’s episode with Charles Barkley and Alicia Keys.

Charles Barkley, y’all! This could be one of those wonderful catastrophes I was talking about!
