Good to be Home

I'm back home after the 8 hour drive, and it feels pretty nice to be back and see everyone. We'll see how long that feeling lasts. I give it a week and also new Mighty Boosh episode is up.

New ATHF, Shutup and Watch It

Here's how this latest episode started:

Vegetables are indeed the core of the universe. On a side note, I hate Biology and have a test in it tomorrow. Plants are biological, so I hate them too. You know how science works.

I Got the Scoop on Adult Swim

That's right. You know that new show on Adult Swim, The Might Boosh? Yeah, I've been watching that for over a year ever since I first saw it on BBC America. It is easily the craziest, cleverest, most interesting sketch comedy show that I have seen to date. SNL this is not (you know, because it's always funny). No, this is much closer to Monty Python but with a story arc throughout the whole episode and an always-extravagant musical performance. Oh, and their characters are some of the most memorable ones from any television show. My favorite is The Hitcher:



In short, you need to be watching this show. If you don't like it, don't ever speak to me. Here's the first episode on Adult Swim.

[TSC] Either Copying a Good Idea or Showing our Clan Pride

That is such a lame gamer joke, but since our audience consists of drug fiends and teenage supermutants. Whoops, I forgot about not mocking the readers. Consider yourselves mocked.

I just watched the newest Robot Chicken and the first few minutes of Superjail, and my opinions of both shows were unchanged: Robot Chicken was really funny, and Superjail wasn't. I can deal with anti-humor, but there's a difference between anti-humor and plain old unfunny (...plus I wasn't on drugs, so...take that as you will).

I don't want to get you all too excited, but it's very likely that we'll be adding at least one new writer to the Collective. Hopefully that'll get the post count up and allow everyone involved to focus on more specific areas of interest. And also everything at the bottom of the internet barrel. You can't have a lean mean blogging machine without some digital barrel scraping.

Scrape it like a Polaroid picture.
My barrel scrapings bring all the boys to the yard.
I kissed a barrel, and I scraped it.

That last one was kind of a stretch, but I've already got my writing scholarship to Best University secured.

You Look so Tiny Down There from my Hologram

I just watched Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode, and it is great. You can watch it here.

"Alderon chunks everywhere," indeed. Another great show from the folks at Robot Chicken.

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.
