In preparation for Saint President's Day (what?), Bob Odenkirk brings us an obscure French documentary that tells us the truth about Abraham Lincoln.

We just received word that New York sketch group "The Royal We" is back and will be releasing new videos throughout the month. Pretty awesome. We thought we lost them after the heartbreaking news about their TV Land pilot. Well, we have their first new video release, "Pepsi Challenge," right here.

Turns out Fred Armisen and musician Carrie Brownstein have been putting together some pretty amusing videos for a little side project called Thunderant.com. Personal recommendations: Feminist Bookstore and This is Nice.

Our dorky siblings at the Indecision 2008 blog found this hilarious parody of the Will.I.Am Obama ad/video. For me, this hits my top two rules of comedy, 1) a nice, fuzzy Will.I.Am hat is always hilarious, and 2) the sign language for "we are f@cked" is always hilarious.

From Steve Agee's MySpace profile, superfan Stacey D. has taken her love for the Sarah Silverman Program and made it official. Check out her sweet tattoo in progress, featuring artwork from our very own Sarah Silverman Program Animated Shorts, by Justin Roiland and crew!

After the jump, check out the awesome animated shorts that inspired the tattoo! And check out all our awesome Sarah Exclusives right here.

(In celebration of the best year for comedy in recent memory, and also sort of because of the 12 Days of Christmas or whatever, we've chosen 12 comedians and comedy teams we think broke out in 2007. Each weekday, we'll celebrate one comedian or comedy team we got really into this year. (Note: because we'd like to focus on comedy you can go and see live, in person, nobody in Judd Apatow's crew is going to be on this list, even though they are also awesome.)

The comedic musical duo Hard 'N Phirm has been creating refreshingly intelligent comedy for years now, and 2007 has kept the boys super extra busy. In the past twelve months, Mike and Chris have performed regularly with the Comedy Death Ray gang, taped an awesome Comedy Central Presents (airing next year), and released their hit album Horses and Grasses on our very own Comedy Central Records label. Unstoppable, you say? Quite possibly.

Below, a video of their popular Spanish love ballad, El Corazón:
