Cuando vivir en una casa de putas deja de ser divertido

 

…y empieza a ser un rollo a niveles estratoféricos.

Anoche, volvemos del Anti. Tarde, muy tarde, como siempre. Nos acostamos a las 4. Tengo que coger el AVE el día siguiente a la 1h para ir a Madrid. Al llegar, tengo que hacer “check-in” en el hotel, organizarme para la grabación en Joy, llegar a Joy [...]

Post-Spanish Election Treat: Gushers!

Not only do I not understand the concept, but I don’t understand how something like this even exists. What a wonderful world.

Wouldn’t it have been awesome if these dancers were on the set, “interpreting” Rajoy and Rubalcaba’s answers during the debate?

Enjoy your post-Spanish election treat! Hat tip to my friend Beau Bahan in Austin.

Paramount Comedy, Planeta Catalunya

Ya lo he anunciado en otras partes, pero por si no conectes al Facebook o Twitter, estaré en Madrid este martes 22 de Noviembre para grabar un monólogo de 20-25 minutos para Paramount Comedy. Los monólogos de esa noche deberían salir en la tele el 31 de Diciembre.

Schoolhouse Rock Covers

Perhaps the most popular Schoolhouse Rock song to cover is “Three is the Magic Number”.

Schoolhouse Rock: a Black American Musical Education

[For maximum enjoyment of this video, I recommend turning the up volume LOUD!]

Schoolhouse Rock was a series of short musical, educational clips that would run on Saturday mornings when I was a kid. They remain immensely popular not only for my generation, but for later generations who didn’t grow up with the series.

Schoolhouse Rock was created [...]

Sesame Street: "That's About the Size"

Anyone remember this?

All throughout my life this song pops into my head without warning. It’s one of the first songs that I can remember. I was very, very young when I first heard it — maybe three or five years old at the most.

Even though I didn’t completely understand the lyrics at the time, somehow [...]

Viral Video Stars: Where Are They Now?

Do you ever wonder what happened to some of these people who became such an entertaining part of your life for a day or two? Wouldn’t you love to see a show about what happened to them?

I’ve fantasized about the fates of some of my favorite YouTube characters:

Of course this poor, barely-closeted weatherman must have [...]

Muppet Bohemian Rhapsody

My favorite show as a child, Sesame Street, is 40 years old this year.  Hands down, Sesame Street was the king. No other children’s program — not even The Electric Company — could even come close. Sesame Street was that perfect combination: fun, silly, and entertaining, but also smart and hip. The measure of its brilliance [...]
