Absurdist, Entertaining, Dumb Comedy

It's an amazingly low budget fantasy, tv show about some british vapid hipsters, two friends with a a love/hate musical relationship who go on magical adventures together, all while being vain and self-centered. As usual the show will be even funnier when stoned. It's called 'The Mighty Boosh' and has no redeeming value whatsoever, except that it's very, very funny.

Do you find the phrase "mother-licker" to be inherently funny?
Are little old ladies hilarious as well?
Do actors playing multiple characters within the same episode, just dressed in various low budget costumes strike you as humorous?
Is the occasional short musical set just what most comedies need?

If you think so too, then I'm sorry to say, you will find The Might Boosh to be very, very, entertaining.

I don't exactly know why, but little old ladies are hilarious, the episode 'Nanageddon' just cracks me up. There's a scene where all these little old ladies are marching along down a street to campy ominous music. The two main characters are dressed up as little old ladies, and are being chased by the crowd of evil little old lady demons. It's wonderful.


the really creepy character of 'Old Greg' is a spectacle that has to be seen to truly understand. To think this clip is funny in any way, you may have to watch it a few times:


it's attached to your rod mutha licka!

Ceiling Cat!

The lol cats have transelated the bible. How adorb. Here's the passage were Naomie is telling Ruth how to seduce Boaz:

1 Laterz, Naomi sez too Ruth "I am has find you a home for foods.2 "Boaz iz relative. Yu has go to the winowin flore.3 "Get clean n' smeel niec. Ware somthin nice. Be liek a ninja til he don eatin chezburgr n drnkin.4 "Watch wer he has lies down 'n lie nexto his feets. He willz known what's about."

awwww, be like ninja, how sexy. Throughout god is referred to as 'Ceiling Cat', the bible would have been 10 times more interesting when I was a kid if god had been referred to as a ceiling cat. They both, after all, like to watch you masturbate apparently.

But they need some pictures, where are the biblical themed pelorians when you need them?

I heart Gadget

I heart my George Foreman®

Too often when I voice my unwavering love for this little grill do receive looks that seem to question my sanity, or worse, my taste. I myself used to think of the George Forman grill as a “as seen on T.V.” useless infomercial kitchen clutter, until one day, I was skooled.

A few years ago I worked in a vegan sandwich shop where I was introduced to an industrial sized George Foreman Grill. I was shocked, not only had I thought of it as some “as seen on T.V.” crap, but I had mistakenly identified it with only being able to grill up meaty hamburgers and other such ilk.

How wrong I was.

At this sandwich shop we would grill chopped up onions and peppers, sliced vegetarian field roast, veggie burgers, toss that stuff on some toasted bread… those were some good goddamn sandwiches. We found it much easier to clean, less messy, and exuded no greasy heat as compared to our industrial panini grill.

The George Foreman grill is a sort of clamshell with both the top and bottom acting as Teflon coated grilling surfaces. The bottom of the grill is slanted so the fat runs off of food, hence the “knock off the fat” tagline. Though Teflon isn’t the sort of chemical you want in your food a plastic spatula and oil catch tray are thoughtfully provided. The top and bottom grills are connected via a floating hinge of sorts that lets you grill big, hulking sandwiches or single burger patties.

In interviews George Foreman talks about growing up in poverty as one of seven children and about how their tenement housing rarely had kitchens or electricity. The popularity of this grill is in part thanks to this huge unvoiced population of low-income people trying to cook and eat healthfully.

Though I do, at this time, have a kitchen, I still end up using my “lean mean grilling machine”. I can’t be bothered to heat up the kitchen, cooking up a storm when it’s just for one or two people. When I want some veggies grilled up for some yaki soba, the ‘Foreman’ takes less time than the 5 minute noodles! Grilling tofu is made idiot-proof and frozen burgers go from solid to crispy and tasty in minutes.

Gourmet, classy and cool it may not be, but indispensable it is.


I heart my George Foreman grill.
