Another Good Target Women - "Skin Care"

"If you'll notice it passes through the epidermis, dermis, seven layers of non-existent skin, and right down to the marbles."

Lookalikes: Rajon Rondo & Enuka Okuma (from 24)

I'm not finding the perfect images I want to bring this resemblance to life, but as I watched 24 tonight I noticed that Enuka Okuma, the actress who plays Dubaku's unwitting girlfriend, Marika, bears some resemblance to Rajon Rondo, current point guard for the Boston Celtics. With a just a smidge of Leah Rimini thrown in there somewhere for the smirk.

Lonely Island's "I'm On a Boat" / Sergio's "White Hot Top 5"

Since I gave up on mainstream hip-hop / R&B years ago, my days of watching videos on BET are behind me. In other words, I wasn't really up to speed on the whole 'on a boat' thing that served as the central gag for this week's digital short on SNL.

What is a strange coincidence though (at least in my opinion), is that the Lonely Island thing showed up on air the same week that Sergio Cilli mocked Akon in the White Hot Top 5.

Lonely Island - I'm On a Boat



But seriously, everyone knows Wreckx-n-Effect pioneered the on-a-boat territory in like '92. And if you're being honest, you know this looks more fun than what Akon is pushing.

You Should Be Watching Current's "Target Women" - More Great Deconstruction & Mockery of Marketing B.S.

Another great recurring segment on Info Mania is
Target Women. This week's is particularly sharp. Really does make you wonder what people who conceive and approve these commercials were thinking (similar to the Viagra nonsense).

Mitchell & Webb's BBC 2 Skit - What I Reckon - brilliant

As I have written previously, these guys are hilarious. Latest skit I caught last night mocks the mainstream news media's sometimes overzealous pursuit of man-on-the-street (or person-at-the-keyboard?) reactions. I couldn't find an embeddable version of the clips, so I'll direct you here to see it.

For my money, this excerpt is some of the best, dead-on satire I've ever seen:

"What possible reason could there be for you to not email us? Certainly ignorance shouldn’t be a bar. You might not know anything about the issue, but I bet you reckon something. So why not tell us what you reckon? Let us enjoy the full majesty of your uniformed, ad hoc reckon by going to bbc.co.uk/meandmyimportantthoughts (all one word), clicking on ‘What I Reckon’ and simply beating on the keyboard with your fists or head."

More Good Comedy from Current, Plus a Lookalike

Sergio's White Hot Top 5 makes me laugh again. This time with their top 5 patriotic songs edition:



Also, it has finally dawned on me who Sergio looks like. He's kind of the modern day hipster version of Jim Croce.

Lookalikes: Ed Begley Jr. = Boomer Esiason + Beano Cook

I'm watching a little bit of Living With Ed when it dawns on me that Ed Begley Jr. looks like some kind of cross between Boomer Esiason and Beano Cook.

UPDATE: (7/20/08) - This comparison really works best if you actually hear Ed speaking and know what Beano sounds like.
