Realy?!?

Posted on

One SNL bit that I find consistently funny is the “Really?!?” segment that Seth Meyers does from time to time on the Weekend Update portion of the show. When Amy Poehler was still in the scene, they partnered for a very funny one concerning Rod Blagojevich and while Seth is no Dennis Miller, he thankfully isn’t Colin Quinn either.
Seth Meyers has been growing on me as the “Weekend Update” anchor and part of it is his dead-on “Really?!?” bits. The best one by far was the one he did on Michael Phelps. When talking about how Kellogs is outraged by Phelph’s marijuana use, he says in retort “Every one of your [Kellogs] products sounds like a wish a Genie granted at a Phish concert.”
Check out the entire clip below and prepare to laugh:

I am super happy that Hulu is now around because I can post a clip like this and be fairly confident that years later it will still be there – unlike a lot of YouTube videos I post to this blog which “disappear” over time…

Oh My Singlet!

Posted on

If you are the type of person who thinks that John Fogerty is singing “There’s a bathroom on right” instead of “There’s a bad moon on the rise” then you might think that Beyonce is singing “Oh my Singlet” instead of “All my Single Ladies” in her new hit song “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).”
The video for this song features Beyonce and two others dancing in leotards Bob Fosse style. It also has been mocked, first on SNL and then by legions of others, and I find the spoofs hysterical (the original that it being mocked is pretty good too). I’ve been on the lookout for SNL clip for about two weeks now – its not on Hulu and its not on YouTube but it is on Andy Samberg’s site (duh).
Enjoy the clip below and then just try to get this song out of your head. Its been stuck in my head for two weeks now.

If you are a fan of Samberg and his digital shorts, you might alsol love the most recent golden short “Jizz in my Pants”.
Happy Friday.

After the jump, read about how NBC has frozen the viral “Lazy Sunday” wildfire. Man are they missing the boat.

PS – to my loyal readers: sorry for the absense of posts lately. I actually have been quite busy as I resigned from my job to take a new one (my last day is this Friday and have been busy transfering my brain to others), started a new semester of b-school, am working on a big freelance opportunity AND just got back from 5 days in sunny St. Maarten. Be patient – more good posts are on the way…
NBC freezes wildfire spread of ‘Lazy Sunday’
Reported by Media Life
It looked like the perfect example of a viral marketing success story. Unfortunately, the source did not agree. When fans put a skit from “Saturday Night Live” called “Lazy Sunday” onto video-sharing sites, it was watched up to 5 million times on YouTube alone, according to reports. The video, which featured Chris Parnell and Any Samberg, may have provided “SNL” with a lot of free publicity, but NBC Universal has asked for it to be withdrawn from YouTube, along with 500 other clips featuring NBC programming, in order to protect its copyrights, says the New York Times. It is not uncommon for postings on video-sharing sites to contain copyright protected material. However, to date the sites have not faced many problems over this issue. NBC’s action over the “SNL” video, which is now available free on the NBC site or for $1.99 from iTunes, shows the problems that could confront video-sharing sites like YouTube and Google Video now that the networks themselves are getting into on-demand

Best of Blah Blah Blog: Christmas Edition

Tis the season to provide interesting and funny links courtesy of Blah Blah Blog:

1. Homeless Martians on Mars. The Mars rovers have had their solar panels mysteriously cleaned (which has miraculously increased the amount of power they create and then use) and the scientists at NASA have no clue. “Look, I don’t care what NASA tells us on this one. It is clearly alien intervention, most likely of the homeless squeegee kind.” Click here to read the entire story.

2. How to Kill A Polar Bear Without Using a Rifle. This is great – just great. ‘Nuff said.

3. Farm Sluts is a 17 minute movie starring Chris Parnel (from SNL) as an everyman whose life snowballs after he is caught accidentally looking at porn in the office. Click here to watch it and get ready to laugh.
