sunday funnies

i've been on a youtube comedy binge this week for some reason, so i decided to rediscover some of my favorite clips. i pretty much just wanted to post all of qaadir howard's videos because i have tears streaming down my face during every one, but the powers that be at youtube won't let me embed them. here are the rest of my favorites!


chris d'elia

chris d'elia's vine videos are great, but his stand-up is also hilarious. the fact that this bit has to do with drake makes it even better. actually, the fact that he laughs like a hyena at his own jokes as he improvs is probably the best part.


sinbad 

my old roommate texted me the other day to tell me that "first kid" was on and she thought of me. this is because of my unwavering and random love for sinbad. but seriously, the dude is SO FUNNY and underrated. my dad and i used to watch his "afros and bellbottoms" HBO special on sundays when i was in high school and laugh 'til our stomachs hurt, and i ended up buying him tickets a few christmases ago to go see him live. he's just as funny like 20 years later.

jared logan


you may have seen this guy on "best week ever" or "last comic standing." he has a great style, and just seems like a cool dude. i keep coming back to this clip in particular, even though he hates on oprah in it.

Gak, gak, gak city, bitch

Gak, gak, gak city, bitch

Gak, gak, gak, gak city, bitch.

Marc Summers on the beat

Gak city, bitch

Gak, gak city, bitch

Ten, twelve, almost twenty on yo' skip-it, bitch

Hundred deeds for Eddie

Shepherd/husky mix,

H-Hey Dude, you don't know who you ranchin' with

Watchin' all the SNICK,

watchin' watchin' all the SNICK

watchin' all night

The dark? We ain't afraid of it

My troll doll's too dope,

I ain't sellin' it.

Hair's greener than a whole pack of Doublemint.

Wild 'N Crazy Kids,

Clarissa explainin' shit.

Doug Funny, Doug Funny

Patty's hittin' it

We got Sam climbin' up for this

Haha, Ferguson know what it is

Gak city, bitch

Gak, gak city, bitch

Ten, ten, ten, twenty on yo' skip-it, bitch.

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/t/tyga/rack_city.html ]

I'm a T-Rex slayin' star

Lookit, I killed Reptar

Too much cryin' from the rugrats, arrgh

Tell the Petes' dad to chill out about his yard

I need my scrunchie pronto

Twist it in the mornin' like my MONDO, it's day-glo,

Green monkeys at the top, yo. 

If you can't cross the moat, bitch, let Kirk Fogg know.

Head honcho, Ug's got my back.

Pinsky starin' at me, meltin' like Mack.

Got my shorts off, the pole too packed. 

Let's salute, goin' up like a flag. 

God damn, climb up the crag

Mike Mike O'Malley, he knows that rock is rad

All that-that-that, Kenan still doin' shiz

Lori-Beth Denberg,

She knows what it is.

Gak city, bitch

Gak, gak city, bitch

Ten, ten, ten twenty on yo' skip-it, bitch.

Slimin' hundreds, hundreds

hundreds, hundreds

Slimin' hundreds, hundreds

Gak city, bitch

Gak, gak city, bitch

Hundreds, hundreds

Slimin' hundreds, hundreds

Hundreds, hundreds

Gak city, bitch

Gak, gak city, bitch.

"quit makin' faces at me!!"

oh god...oh god. if you only know sinbad from such CLASSIC movies as "houseguest", "jingle all the way", and "first kid", you're missing out. in middle school, my dad and i were watching tv one saturday afternoon and happened upon an old sinbad stand-up special that was on comedy central, and proceeded to ROFLOAO for the next hour and a half. i was introduced to a brand new world of hilarity that i never knew....the genius that is sinbad.

so clearly, when i was trying desperately to come up with a great christmas present idea for mi padre this year and saw that the man/the myth/the legend was on tour and coming to the wilbur theatre, i knew it was the perfect idea.

seriously, i had tears rolling down my cheeks and my face was in PAIN from howling with laughter. the entire audience was just dying the entire 2+ hours (!!!) the man was on stage last night, talking about everything from boston drivers to online dating to sending a ragtag army of serial killers overseas. and, as i knew from seeing his previous material, the man is FUNNY AS HELL without using any word worse than "damn" - i'm no prude, but it's just refreshing and totally awesome that he's so hilar on his own that he doesn't even need to pepper anything extra in. seriously, see him if he comes to your town. check out some of my two fave clips - one from that special that started it all, and one from his most recent special, "sinbad where u been?" LOVE.
