ROUNDUP: Funny Stuff Edition

Happy April Fools' Day! In honor of this most important of holidays and to kick off National Humor Month, I've decided to cram this Roundup full of stuff that makes me laugh. Hopefully it makes you laugh too, but either way I'll be too busy guffawing to realize. Also, I finally got to use the word guffawing in a sentence! Here are some clips from some of my favorite shows past and present:

Strangers With Candy

Strangers With Candy is my favorite TV show of all time! Of all time! Amy Sedaris is to be worshipped and adored and her Jerri Blank character from SWC is the funniest (and moistest) character to ever grace the silver screen. All 3 seasons are available on DVD, but you can get acquainted with the perverted, troubled and lovable Jerri right here.

Community

Lucky for us, Community has recently returned to its Thursdays @ 8PM time slot after a unexplained brief hiatus (I'm lookin' at you NBC) and we can once again join in the hilarious discussions between the best study group at Greendale Community College. This is a majorly character driven show so if you don't watch know that a) you should start and b) you will fall in love/get obsessed with each of them.

Candy Tails from Tim & Eric

Tim & Eric are so weird and so great and so full of ridiculous gems like this one. This is actually one of their more "normal" scenes, but the way it reminds me of girls sucking on their hair in elementary school (what the hell was that about?!) has endeared it to me.

Arrested Development

Best known as 'the best show you're not watching' or 'the show that should never have been cancelled', Arrested Development has posthumously become one of the most popular comedies in the last decade. It's maybe literally the smartest (super subtle things pop up again seasons later) and funniest (just watch if you don't know) show ever. Every character is perfectly cast and there are actually new episodes being made again!

Party Down

I tend to have major crushes on hilarious shows that get cancelled way too early. Too often, I've been the (only?) one watching a great show during the original airing and then it gets cancelled and then it gets popular on DVD. That can be said for Party Down (and actually a lot of this list now that I think of it), but both seasons are on DVD and streaming and whatnot. The more you watch the more you love these characters (douchey haircuts and all).

I love all of these shows, but it was very hard to choose between these and others (I'm sorry Conan, Undeclared, Freaks & Geeks, The State, Todd Margaret...the list continues). What is your favorite show/movie/funny person of all time?

Michelle

ROUNDUP: Weekly Links 2/19/12

Here's what I'm rounding up this week:

Roald Dahl Postage Stamps

These adorable UK stamps feature favorites like Matilda, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Twits and more! What a fantastic surprise to get in the mail!

Temporary Wallpaper

There's no need to make up your mind with Tempaper, the repositionable temporary wallpaper. I love the way it was used here on the stairs - the options are endless!

Arrested Development Paper Dolls

Live out your wildest AD fantasies (or illusions) and tide yourself over until new episodes are available with these adorable and hilarious paper dolls.

Roseanne & John Goodman Together Again

Oh yes. Roseanne is headed back to sitcoms and she's bringing former TV hubby John Goodman with her. Granted, they won't be married this time around, but I can't wait to see them reunited and get a little taste of that Lanford flavor.

Most Outrageous Food Vehicles

I hate motorcycles and hamburgers, but this hamburger Harley has somehow captured my heart. Check out this slideshow of other amazing food vehicles - spoiler: there's a banana mobile!

ROUNDUP: Weekly Links 10/9/11

Here's what I'm rounding up this week:

Top 10 Unsexiest Movie Moments

If you've never had the displeasure of seeing romance between a woman and an oversized duck, you might want to check out this list. I won't ruin too much, but I will say that you'll never look at wounds the same way again. Don't worry - there's some Showgirls to lighten the mood.

Developments in the Arrested Development Movie

All of us Arrested Development fanatics have been hearing about the illusive full length film being released some day. To add fuel to that fire, series creator Mitchell Hurwitz has announced that he'll also be releasing a fourth season! Who knows when it will become a reality, but I'll raise a frozen banana to that.

Topeka, KS Considers Decriminalizing Domestic Violence

Every city faces budget cuts, but Topeka's method of dealing with them is decidedly untraditional - they're considering the decriminalization of domestic violence in order to avoid the costs associated with related court cases. In the month they've piloted this program more than 30 cases have been turned away. I don't know what's crazier: this short-sighted idea or the totally weird stock photo that ran with the story (above).

Russian Doll Ring

I love all things Russian Doll so when I saw this amazing Noir Jewelry ring I went insane! Then I saw the price ($225) and I went even more insane, 'cause I'm cheap. BUT - a girl can dream, right?

Conan O'Brien Can't Stop

I love Conan. Always have, always will. When I heard there was a documentary being released about his falling out with the Tonight Show and his subsequent stand up tour, I saved it to my Netflix queue in a flash. It isn't a pity party and it isn't a revenge romp; the film is an honest behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the tour from inception to completion and the true and hilarious moments along the way. A must see for Conan devotees!
