The Dark Knight was an excellent film with one glaring flaw. Remember when Joker says "Want to see a magic trick?" Did I miss something or did he never perform a magic trick? He just stabs a guy with a pencil. I waited the entire movie for him to pull a rabbit out of a hat or something.

Tonight, Ugly Americans premieres its episode titled The Dork Knight. Hopefully, it won't succumb to that same magic-related pitfall. Here's the trailer for the episode:

Is that not enough to whet your appetite? This clip should be enough to get your appetite all nice and whet:

Good stuff, but speak for yourself, Paul F.: I hear "Scrubs" all the time, watching Law & Order or not. Wanna see my scrapbook of eyeless J.D.s? We're best friends, you know. OK, enough, give it back.

The Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen was notable for a lot of reasons: It was the most-watched Roast in Comedy Central history, it featured the most onstage nose-breakings, it tied the Roast record for the fewest jokes about rutabaga, the list goes on. And now you can relive the whole thing on DVD.

The Dalai Lama has over four million Twitter followers, but does he ever tweet about his butthole? Only in metaphors. That's why he's not nominated for Funniest Person on Twitter at The Comedy Awards, and that's also just one of the many reasons @SarahKSilverman is.

There are so many activities people try to convince me are fun but that I absolutely hate: ultimate frisbee, parties, parades, going outside, sex, going outside and having sex. None of those things are fun! I guess I can add ziplining to the list. In an all-new episode of South Park, the boys spend their last day of spring break ziplining and soon find themselves sorely disappointed. Here's a preview clip:

South Park airs Wednesday at 10/9c followed by an all-new Ugly Americans.

This Wednesday's new Ugly Americans, "The Dork Knight," is already without question the most highly-anticipated bat-based superhero event of the year, but there's even more to look forward to. Throughout the episode, eagle-eyed viewers will be able to spot Easter eggs from the new Ugly Americans game Apocalypsgeddon, now available on Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network.

When you spot one of the Easter eggs, be sure to announce your ocular superiority by tweeting it with the hashtag #DorkKnight. In the meantime, here's a preview featuring the best Christian Bale impression you'll hear all day:

Patton Oswalt is the only person nominated for Funniest Person on Twitter in The Comedy Awards who has starred in a film about a rat that cooks. (FULL DISCLOSURE: I have not seen Julie and Julia but I'm pretty sure it does not feature a cooking rat voiced by Steve Martin.) Does that give him an unfair advantage somehow? Does the fact that his Twitter account is hilarious give him an unfair advantage? You be the judge!

If you work or have ever worked a retail job, I don't have to tell you just how soul sucking it can be. Managers think you're expendable, coworkers bitterly resent the quarter-an-hour raise you just got, and customers treat you like dirt. (Those uniforms are pretty cool, though, I must admit.) For all you retail slaves out there, Paul F. Tompkins offers this tale of redemption, honor, and pilfered VHS tapes:

In the past, if you wanted to tell a Facebook friend that you think they’re funny, you’d leave, “You just made me spit coffee on my keyboard!” as a comment on their status, even though no one has ever actually spit coffee on their keyboard. Ever.

Well, instead of telling your hilarious friends blatant lies, why not give them a Comedy Award? Click the image and you’ll soon be handing out prizes for Driest Wit, Funniest Tweets and more.
