Canadians are Funnier

Bill reminds me in a comment to a previous post that SNL is not funny. I keep forgetting that and end up torturing myself every Saturday night, like some sort of masochist of not-funny, waiting, waiting for a chuckle that never comes and cringing in embarrassment for a national institution that sucks.

"Kids in the Hall" was funny, even when it was stupid, as in this short skit.

Internets Without Borders

Man, those Germans are at it again, getting all Nationalistic. I just wanted to find "Having an Average Weekend" by Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet. (Better known as "The theme to Kids in the Hall.") Clipfish says they have it, but the dumbly named German site doesn't like Americans. "Be sure to check us out on your next trip to Germany."

Whatever, Beckenrandschwimmer.*

Fine, enjoy this bit of America bashing courtesy of our Canadian cousins.

Orphaned Dancer Needs Your Love

Some people have been hating on the Little Lad from Starburst.

I must defend the boy.

• Starburst got its start in England
• The character would easily be a hit on Kids in the Hall or Monty Python (It's too good for SNL.)
  
• As the new site alerts us, he lost his mother! Have a heart.
• Comments on YouTube indicate that his dance is a hit on high school campuses nationwide
• The covering of the face with the accompanying exasperated yelp is comic gold
• The companion website is well done. (Hit refresh and see the homepage background change.)

Now watch this tribute remix put together by someone with too much time on their hands.
