Portrait of Evil

Funny UCB actor/improviser Paul Welsh stars in this video (as the evil doctor) about poison. And not the mild kind that involves Bret Michaels and STDs, but the even deadlier kind that could care less about every rose or its thorns.

While this Friday Voldemort will be hunting down the Deathly Hallows, he recently came to America to attack an innocent muggle in Grand Central Station… (video)

World Magic Awards

First off, there is an actual World Magic Awards? And why is Neil Patrick Harris hosting it?

Secondly, this kid is the perfect mixture of awkward, comedy, and magic.

Backtrack to the Future

When filming started on Back the the Future in 1985, Michael J. Fox wasn’t cast as the time traveling, own mother making outer Marty McFly, Eric Stoltz was. Seriously, they shot for 5 weeks with the dude who went on to play the drug dealer in Pulp Fiction.

Even before going with Stoltz, the filmmakers brought many other actors to screen test for the starring roles of this 80′s classic: Al Pacino, Eddie Murphy, Robin Williams, Pee Wee Herman, and naturally Alan Alda, along with many others.

Someone Incongruous for Congress

Between Democrats, Republicans, write-ins, and independents, voters have plenty of choices today. But what if you still aren’t sold on any of them? Allow us to recommend ComedySmack writer Tom Cully. He may not be “qualified” for office, but he is more than qualified to cash a Congressional paycheck all by himself. And best of all, his campaign ads don’t lie…

SNL Does Miley

If you happened to miss Saturday Night Live two Saturdays ago then you missed Vanessa Bayer’s dead on Miley Cyrus imitation. I hope they keep this skit going.

Who are you associated with?

This day and age, it is all in who you know. I’m surprised they didn’t mention they were on Facebook and all your friends liked it. Why didn’t you like it?

I like sandwiches too. Guess I’ll see this. Sweet!
