Tennis Is A Dish Best Served Cold
This moving tale of two young women and their coaches locked in an epic tennis rivalry would be perfect for a tennis feature film. Although it’s hard to know if anyone can top Sean William Scott’s 2009 piece de resistance Balls Out: Gary the Tennis Coach.
The video stars comedy savants Jenny Slate, Lang Fisher, Bobby Tisdale and Craig Baldo (pictured). Be sure to check out Craig and other great acts at TONIGHT’S SmackDown: The Best of ComedySmack live at Carolines.

The Rent Is Too Damn High!
by shap on October 19, 2010. [Huh?,Newsworthy,TV]
Not since Pedro ran for class president have I been this excited about a candidate. I love Obama and all, but is it too much to ask for the 2012 Presidential election to be between this guy and Palin?
And if you are serious about lowering your rent, or at least yelling about lower rent, check out The Rent Is Too Damn High Party and its gubernatorial candidate, Jimmy McMillan, here. Along with being anti-rent, his other big issues include being anti-Real Estate Ponzi Schemes…and anti-Court Orders. That’s right, he’s going to put legality on trial!
This is what he features in the way of press clippings…
(Yes, he’s in there, but it takes Where’s Waldo? skills to find him)
The Genesis of Gaga
Who came first Lady Gaga or this lady?
Or do they both owe everything to The Fifth Element…
A Call from Miss Daisy
If you were alive before the invention of the telephone, then you shouldn’t be allowed to use one.
Toys R Us Trouble
Toys R Us will think twice about running out of coloring books thanks to this guy. I’ve never known anyone to get so upset over something so tiny before, but he does have a point. It’s one of the biggest toy store franchises. How the hell do they run out of coloring books?
Conan’s First Date
Conan O’Brien wants YOU to decide the first guest on Conan (TBS, Nov. 8th). He’s going to let a few other people vote, but this could come down to YOU. Ready to make history?
Here are my top three picks:
Myspace Tom is living, breathing history. Who better to teach youngsters what life was like back in 2006 than this guy? And he had class. I wish Zuckerberg had cared enough about me to friend me my first day on Facebook. I spent sixteen hours with zero friends.
Also in the interest of educating the youth, a man who can impart deep spiritual wisdom. Like which priests they should go to for religious guidance, and which priests they should only go to for religious guidance when security cameras are present.
I don’t know much about this lady besides her hit songs and the fact the she was born into aristocracy, but I think she sets a good example. Mainly in terms of fighting to repeal Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. But even more mainly because of the meat dresses. Science has proven that in a future of global warming and famine, the meat-clad will inherit the earth.
Vote here, and then check out the most recent video from Team Coco. It’s Conan O’Brien and UCB co-founder Ian Roberts improvising in a blimp…
Totally Malarious
If you hate malaria as much as you love Ed Hardy, Jersey Shore and house music, then check out this report filed from Senegal by intrepid humanitarian Bobby Bottleservice (Nick Kroll).
But watching the video alone won’t help, you should also check out Malaria No More, and donate at least the cost of one indoor tanning session.
