2 YouTube channels unearth embarrassing old footage in hilarious roast battle

YouTube is a melting pot of user-uploaded content, and it produces videos that are about 90 percent garbage and 10 percent good. Add two more to the latter category, with this great exchange of videos from two YouTube veterans. It all started back in 2017, when Elliott Morgan—of the Valleyfolk, but previously of widely popular YouTube channel SourceFed—needed some cash. He did some pilots, one of which was for a TLC show called I Catfished My Kid, and moved on to bigger and better things. That is, until Ethan and Hila Klein, the minds behind H3H3 Productions, got a hold of the footage. Ethan made this scathing video, roasting Morgan for everything from his clothes to his decision to meet his “victim” at a gazebo in the series. Seriously, he hates that gazebo. H3H3’s video was ...

Flight of the Conchords’ HBO comeback is a nostalgic return to form

In the very first episode of Flight of the Conchords, which first aired more than 11 years ago, Bret McKenzie and Jermaine Clement perform “I’m Not Crying,” a dramatic song dedicated to their boiling emotions, despite their best efforts to pocket them. “These aren’t tears of sadness/They’re tears of joy/I’m just laughing/Ha ha ha-ha ha,” they sing, their weepy faces transposed over one another. In the context of the show, “I’m Not Crying” comically reveals just how hung up the two characters are over the same girl, a blonde named Sally. Still, it’s the exact musical number I’d like to sing on weeks like these to will, or laugh myself out of something as tormenting as heartbreak, and as tragically comical as a Supreme Court finalist repeatedly yelling “I like beer!” During their new c...

Pete Davidson on Kanye West’s ‘SNL’ rant: mental illness ‘is not an excuse to act like a jacka**’

A week after Kanye West went on a bizarre rant just when Saturday Night Live was going off the air, praising Donald Trump and ripping the show on which he’d just performed, Pete Davidsonhad quite a response on Weekend Update. Davidson, who’s long riffed on his own mental issues and who made a big splash this summer thanks to his relationship with Ariana Grande, started by saying he and SNL cast member Michael Che had a debate to see who should comment on West. “A lot of people thought Che should be the one to talk about Kanye,” Davidson said. “We discussed it. Che is Black, but I’m crazy. We both know which side of Kanye is at the wheel right now.” He called West’s rant one of the most awkward experiences of his SNL career, and he showed footage of himself looking at his feet and ...

This Muppets-heavy ‘A Star is Born’ trailer is better than the real thing

If Bradley Cooper‘s A Star is Born is anything like its predecessors, it’s going to do well come awards season. The original 1937 film (in which the female lead wanted to be an actress, not a singer) was nominated for seven Academy Awards and won for best writing. The 1954 Judy Garland musical was nominated for six, and although it didn’t win any of them, it did win two Golden Globes. The 1976 version, starring Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson, the first to make the couple musicians instead of actors, won an Oscar for best original song. But there’s one remake of the film that has the potential to be the greatest yet. While it might not ever make it to the big screen, the trailer for this Muppets version, featuring a down-on-his-luck Kermit the Frog, and a shy-but-talented Miss P...

Comedian sexually harasses student during performance, spurring walkout

After a set at Purdue University over the weekend, comedian Andy Gross is facing accusations of sexual harassment. According to the Indy Star, Gross, a magician and ventriloquist, performed on Saturday night as part of a yearly orientation event known as Boiler Gold Rush. The turning point in his set appears to be when he brought up a volunteer with the orientation program to assist with one of his bits. Freshman Andora Fess told the Indy Star: “He made her stand closer and closer to him and made a joke about that giving him an erection and making his pants seem to say ‘let me out,’ referring to his genitals.” Fess said Gross then made the volunteer touch his upper thigh, and he can be heard joking that he “got a free feel out of it” in a video. He also reportedly made a Matt Lauer j...
