A Young Person's Guide to Hilarious



New episode of A Young Person's Guide to History is up here. Now. Watch it now.

Actually...wait a minute. Is Ben Franklin the voice of Master Shake? While he was discussing an online forum with Alexander Hamilton while fishing during Christmas, I could swear he sounded exactly like Master Shake. I will get to the bottom of this.

...

Ok, so I was right. Dana Snyder does the voice of Shake and plays the role of Ben Franklin. Why the sudden change in mood? I just found out that the show is only composed of two parts! What? No! They took Aqua Teen, Tim & Eric, Metalocalypse, Robot Chicken, and Xavier away from me all at once! My LiveJournal (remember how I'm a 13 year old girl?) is gonna run red with the digital metaphorical blood of whoever I decide is responsible for this.

Rest in peace, last vestige of Adult Swim hilarity until summer. Wow, that's actually really appropriate since Halloween was recently. Oops, I destroyed any drama that the unnecessarily formal language of the first sentence of this paragraph may have created.

A Garlon Surprise


-Ben Franklin is heckled by drunk men at the Constitutional Convention while Alexander Hamilton (blue vest-like woman's shirt) smiles nervously and Thomas Jefferson attempts to free the Declaration of Independence from his stomach by way of a dagger (as though such an important historical document could be freed in any other way).-

Imagine my surprise when I found out that the first episode of A Young Person's Guide to History, the spin off show featuring the Thomas Jefferson character from Saul of the Mole Men, was online today. I didn't think it started until next Sunday, but I'm glad I was wrong. In short, it was demented and nonsensical, and I loved every moment of it. I know I said I needed to follow a web series to follow(other than Zero Punctuation, obviously. I probably should've added a blog about that on Thursday. I will this Thursday.), but I think I've found an answer to my prayer (I pray to the internet god which is a combination of Thor, ceiling cat, and the Sun. My altar is your face.).

Everything about the show is funny, and I highly recommend it. If I can find a way to upload clips, I will, but for now you can at least check out the show here.
