Johnny Ding-Dong

In spite of the fact that Jon Glaser seems to be starring in one of Adult Swim’s funnier and critically beloved live action programs, footage of him is surprisingly difficult to find on the internet. Nonetheless, here’s a rare clip of him as the worst insult comedian the world has ever known.





Sorry, second worst.

Mr. Benn-y Hill

I'm still in the mood for Benny Hill parodies so here's a mash-up of The Benny Hill Show and the British children's program Mr. Benn.





And for all of you non-British people out there, here’s an original episode of Mr. Benn (you don’t have to watch all of it).

What Hath Pallies Wrought?

I wanted to think that this was a blatant rip-off of Mr. Show’s classic Pallies sketch but I have no idea when it was actually made.






Besides, it seems that the idea behind Pallies isn’t exactly new. Here’s yet another sketch (from Hale and Pace) with the exact same premise and this one is from the mid ‘80s.

Benny Elton

Benny Hill parodies have become surprisingly prevalent in the last couple of years but here is one of the better ones. For those who don’t follow British comedy, Ben Elton was something of a “PC comic” (at least during the time when this sketch was written) who, from time to time, would appear on talk shows and whine incessantly about the sexist elements found in The Benny Hill Show (he’s also best remembered for co-writing The Young Ones and Blackadder). It’s surprising that he agreed to appear in this parody being that he’s portrayed as such a joyless, incoherent scold.





Oh, and as an added bonus, here’s Benny Five-O from The Paul Hogan Show. It’s not so much of a parody as much as it is a tribute/rip-off.

Inspector Force is on the Case

I’m not too familiar with comedians Armstrong and Miller or their short-lived sketch comedy series but this parody of the popular British detective program Inspector Morse has almost made me an instant fan. They not only nail the tone and atmosphere of the show (and all British detective shows for that matter) but the characters are so interesting and well-rounded that it’s the only reoccurring sketch I’ve ever seen that could easily be spun off into it’s own series. Oh, and please ignore the repetitive openings. That’s only thing I find annoying about these clips.

Random Closing Credits Sequences from Sentai Programs

Lately my self-loathing has become nearly overwhelming so I’ve been drowning most of my self-inflicted sorrows by watching the closing credits sequences of various Japanese Sentai programs (like most depressed people, I’m sure).

So, if you hate yourself but love bright colors might I interest you in watching the trio of videos below?

Chicken Park

I’m fascinated by terrible comedy. And when I say terrible comedy, I’m not referring to the likes of Jamie Kennedy, Dane Cook or Carlos Mencia because those are merely just middle-the-road hacks and as much as I dislike what they do there is still people out there that find them hilarious. With terrible comedy there is no subjectivity because everybody finds it unfunny. Case in point: Jerry Cala’s Chicken Park is a comedy so excruciatingly terrible that it only furthers my theory that Italian film executives are required by law to greenlight any and every pitch they hear. It’s not that the jokes in Chicken Park are bad it’s just that they’re bad, nonsensical and completely ill-advised (and that includes the jokes they stole from other movies).

For further proof please watch the clip below and keep in mind this was supposed to make people laugh even though it closely resembles a deleted scene from one of those goddamned Saw movies.







And for all of you Pedro Almodovar fans out there: yes, that is Rossy DePalma being fingerbanged by Thing from The Addams Family.
