You Should be Watching 'That Mitchell and Web Look'.

E.g. - a few sample clips found on YouTube

The Bad Vicar



Jump Off a Cliff - 2 Quid



The Snooker Commentators
(the riffs on 'Chris Lester' remind me of listening to Chip Caray waxing on about how strappingly handsome various Cubs players were)

Lamenting the Fact that Hip-Hop Sucks Now

Just saw this on current and hearing 5 awful hip hop songs in a row made me sad. I guess it's like most everything else in society - the most popular stuff is lowest common denominator crap. But it seems to me like hip hop just continues to devolve into lower quality sh*t year after year. Will we one day look back at the past 15 years of hip hop and wonder, WTF? It's like when rock music went into the abyss in the 80s? (See exhibits A, B and C below if you forgot how bad that sucked).

Aside from that, 'Sergio' has a couple of nice lines in this Current clip

- "she appreciative when he buys her a luxury car"

- "this thing is like the Mulholland Drive of rap videos: no idea what's goin' on"

- "attention Sergio, parentheses: burp jurp"



Exhibit A: While Lion - Wait



Exhibit B: Stryper - Calling on You



Exhibit C: Huey Lewis and the News - I Want a New Drug

More Current: Viral Video Film School - Campaign Videos



"You're welcome, bitches". Brilliant.

Toyota Yaris VCAM on Current

Amusing - "Not my kinda space" on Current

The "orgy of ill-advised vanity" line is nice. As is the "OMG. That one's from Jesus."
