The Gayest SNL Sketches of All Time (And By Gay We Mean Homosexual)*

April 21, 2008 AT 06:24PM | Comments (1)

AfterElton, the gay pop culture site run by sibling network Logo, aka the blog that gave you the Top 10 gayest moments in Daily Show history has just compiled the gayest moments in Saturday Night Live's run. It's a comprehensive and critical eye on both the hits (see below for an example) and misses (think Mango) of gay-themed humor over the years.

If you're curious about which of the 30+ years' worth of sketches are deemed funny or offensive to an actual gay critic, read on. See where Mango, Canteen Boy and the Ambiguously Gay Duo fit into the equation.

*Although you could argue that many are "gay" in the pejorative sense, meaning they are shitty sketches.

Kids Skip School to Learn About Comedy Central

April 26, 2007 AT 04:38PM | Comments (5)

Today was "Take Your Daughters and Sons to Work Day" . We learned a lot from the kids -- namely, we learned that kids think the word "blog" is really, really funny.

We thought we'd ask the kids what they thought about some Comedy Central family members (not us, the famous ones.) So we showed them pictures and asked them to yell out their responses...after the jump, the kids speak out!

Dating David Spade

March 20, 2007 AT 10:15AM | Comments (5)

David_spade_s2prod1David Spade hit the junket circuit last week, hot on the heels of The Showbiz Show's return and the mid-season success of Rules of Engagement. Along the way he gave a surprisingly revealing interview to that paragon of investigative interviewing, USA Today. In Spade's Rules of Engagement (Get it? The title of the article references the title of his show! Zow!) he admitted to daddy urges and dished out some dating tips.

Say what you will, he's the greatest sub-5' 8" lothario of our generation (YOU try bedding Heather Locklear and Kristy Swanson with your mere "Axe Effect") A few pointers from the piece:

On breaking up when you know you're not that into her: "A real direct text message — not even face to face . . . Like ripping a scab off, you have to say, 'Not my type, not working,' whatever. Because it's much harder to have it fade off into oblivion by not calling back, making excuses or lying."

On keeping yourself up on young Hollywood topics to converse with younger women: "I can't even pretend to be the hip guy who knows what's going on . . . I just make fun of it. When Bob Seger came to town I said, 'It's basically Fall Out Boy,' and they're like, 'Ohhh, good!' "

You'll notice that "feathering your hair" and "consistently talking out of the side of your mouth" were not included on his tip sheet. Scram kid, Dave's working that side of the street.

By the way, you can read David's own blog posts here. We hear Spade spends a lot of time on the Interwebs.

Breaking News: The Showbiz Show 24/7

February 22, 2007 AT 05:19PM | Comments (1)

Showbiz_m5_palmtreesJust in time for the Oscars (Sunday) and the premiere of Season 3 of The Showbiz Show with David Spade (March 15), comes theshowbizshow.com, which includes a blog about those crazy celebrites! But if you're expecting a series of 'razzi photos with scrawled epithets and white nose-dots that are supposed to be drugs or semen or something, YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED, because they simply don't possess that kind of technology.

What you will get is constant blogging by the show's writers and performers, including David Spade himself, who will be live-blogging Sunday night's Oscars. And he already seems thrilled about it. (I think that's how we know it's really him.)

Theshowbizshow.com will be to the internet what the Showbiz Show is to TV -- the guy with the epiphany at the end of the all-night fame party who suddenly stands up and says "Dudes, this stuff turns everybody into assholes." Anyway, it's going to be good so add it to your RSS feed.

Also, how hot is Jessi Klein (who will also be blogging), and how much have you missed her since Season 2? I Netflixed The Lake House just to see if it was as ridiculous as she described it. Hint: it was.

The Oscar live-blogging starts at 7pm Eastern, 4pm Pacific.
