Now THIS, good people, is the textbook definition of “lemonade” from that irritating saying about lemons. Professional Australian Christiaan Van Vuuren has apparently been placed under strict quarantine due to TB. To cope with the isolation, he started making music videos in his hospital room under the name Fully Sick Rapper.

Good on ya, mate! And let this be a lesson to all of you lazy creatives with no excuse for not making stuff! It’s like my grandpappy always said, “Don’t wait until you get TB to make cool shit.” He was prophetic that way.

Follow Christiaan’s medical steeplechase at @FullySickRapper on Twitter or see his other “keeping insanity at bay” vids on his youtube page.

Grace! Charm! Wit!

Showing up to accept a Razzie right before the Oscars? C’mown! Get outta my heart already!! Sandra, or “Lady Tom Hanks” as I like to think of her, kicks much ass.

I nominate Sandy as America’s girlfriend.

I have seen a lot of music videos in my lifetime. I was there when MTV started. I remember Peter Gabriel’s Sledgehammer, Dire Straits’ Money For Nothing, and MJ’s Thriller, and I can say without exaggeration THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE MUSIC VIDEO. The Mouse-trappy Rube Goldbergness of it all. A triumph!

I guess EMI smartened up and let them make their vids embeddable again. Smart move. This one is go to blow up like Vesuvius.

Well done, chaps!!!

The director in this vid is my phenomenally hilarious pal, Brett Gelman. This video is not only NSFW, it’s not safe for home, car, basement, or anywhere really. It is weatherproofed in filth.

And that is why you should watch it.

A new episode of John Oliver’s New York Stand-up Show featuring myself, Paul F. Tompkins, Greg Fitzsimmons & Mary Lynn Rajskub airs this Friday night at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Please view it!

I’ve been in the non-drinking camp for six and a half years but never have I heard alcoholism described so eloquently and humorously. It’s a tough issue to make funny, but this guy’s Scottish timbre could charm the pants off a Mountain Troll. If you’re not a boozelord, it’s still entertaining, but if you are then I guarantee it will resonate your molecules.

I’ll say it again, but Ferguson and Kimmel are really emerging to be the creatively dominant voices in late night. Screw the 11:35 timeslot. I’m becoming far more interested in what’s happening after midnight.
