People always ask us what goes on inside the Comedy.com offices every day, so we decided to show you. Well, at least to show you what went on in our offices on Yom Kippur. Basically, nobody showed up except for our Listmaster Mike Bridenstine who was assigned to make a funny Yom Kippur video and discovered that is a lot harder to do than it sounds.

Comedy.com’s fearless ListMaster, Mike Bridenstine, will be recording a stand-up comedy CD this Sunday the 12th. Comedian Josh Cheney (Tim and Eric Awesome Show) will be recording as well.

Sunday October 12th at 7pm (doors open at 6:30)
The Gardner Stages
1501 N. Gardner (behind Toi On Sunset)
Hollywood, CA 90046
Tickets: $8 (Price includes unlimited free beer during the show.)

Buy tickets online at www.12shinynickels.com. You should go.

Hey loyal readers, friends, enemies, and people who found us by searching for “funny video girl serves breast milk” in Google (yes, somebody actually found us that way)…

We interrupt your regularly scheduled dose of funny video greatness to inform you that we’re now on Twitter. For those of you that don’t know what Twitter is, well, you guys are so totally last month. For those of you that do, you should follow us (and by “us,” I mean Josh Spector at twitter.com/jspector and Listmaster Mike Bridenstine at twitter.com/brido.

Why should you follow us? Because you’ll get a little behind the scenes look at what really goes on in Comedy.com’s underground bunker. Plus, we would like to encourage you to use twitter to let us know about any funny stuff you find out there (or that happens to you) that you think we should share with the world. Yes, you can even tip us off to your own videos/pictures/rantings - as long as it’s funny.

If it’s not funny, we will call you out on it and ruin your Twitter rep. Then you’ll never get tweeted again (Yes, we know that’s not sexual and doesn’t make any sense, but it sounds dirty so whatever).

Ever wish you could hire somebody to tell people things that you don’t have the balls to say? Well, with Comedy.com’s new series Comedy 911, you can do just that. In this first episode, see what happens when comedian and Comedy.com Listmaster Mike Bridenstine is hired to fire somebody else’s employee. And if you’d like to hire one of our comics to do your dirty work for you in a future Comedy 911 video, shoot us an email and let us know how we can help.

This isn’t the first time we’ve professed our love for Los Angeles’ hottest new comedy show, Twelve Shiny Nickels, but in case you didn’t believe us here’s some more video proof for you. This clip features Comedy Feed favorite Michael Kosta chatting up many of the comics and crowd members at a recent edition of the show. Make sure to look out for Comedy Feed columnists Mike Bridenstine, Nikki Glaser and other familiar faces.

There used to be a Navy commercial or something where the voiceover asked, “If they wrote a book about your life, would anybody want to read it?”

The answer, of course, is no. Even if you joined the Navy, nobody wants to read about your stupid, awful life.

But Ray Charles had a movie made about his life. So did Johnny Cash. Then I got to thinking, John McClane from Die Hard has had four days they made movies about. Not a great life spanning several decades. Four days.

Have you ever heard of Judson Laipply? No? What if I call him “The Evolution of the Dance Guy?”

Now you’ve got it. Until recently, Judson Laipply had the most-watched video in the history of YouTube. He has 93.4 million views. The video is kind of lame, but that’s not important. People loved him. I didn’t, but people did.

People sent his clip all around their offices. He made people happy. And he was an unknown – some motivational speaker or something from Ohio. He was pretty much the embodiment of the democratization of the Internet and Web 2.0 and the changing dynamic of entertainment. YouTube is one of the biggest sites on the Internet. Google bought it for a billion dollars. But Judson Laipply was King Shit of Fuck Mountain. Until recently.

Today marks the one year anniversary of the death of Chicago comedian Pat Brice.

One of the first jokes I remember seeing Pat Brice do was about an old man who would one-up every story you could possibly tell. After Pat told the guy a story about an amazing Little League player from his youth, the old man told him an epic World War II-era story about a Catholic League player named Pot Eye O’Shea.

One time, Pot Eye O’Shea hit a ball into the gap, saw that it was only going to be a triple, reached back and hit the ball again for a home run. “He hit the ball twice.” Strangely enough, only a year after his death, those are the types of stories people tell about Pat.

You probably haven’t heard of him, but you were going to. In the past year, several industry types and festival runners have told me about how big of a star Pat was going to be. They were telling me something everybody in Chicago had already known for years. He would fucking clobber the audience. He was one of the few people I never saw have a bad set. Ever. And he was the same guy off stage as he was on. Loud, charismatic and brutally funny.

From 2005-2007, Chicago stand-up had really hit its stride. Several of those comics have gone on to New York and Los Angeles to do the big festivals, the big TV spots, and even sitcoms and movies. Of all of those people, Pat was still the best. He was our quarterback, our homecoming king and our Most Likely to Succeed. Several other people were great, but I didn’t feel like anyone was better. I still don’t.

Here’s to the Laddy.

(Editor’s Note: We here at Comedy.com would also like to echo Mike Bridenstine’s thoughts. Pat was an amazing talent who is sorely missed by everybody who was lucky enough to get a chance to meet him. Below are some samples of his great work.)

You learn a lot about yourself when you run out of toilet paper.

My roommates and I recently ran out of TP and there’s a nasty debate about whose turn it is to get toilet paper, so now (on principle and out of stubbornness) nobody is going to buy any and the situation looks dire around the apartment. It’s become a weird game of holding out. It’s a high stakes game of shit chicken or ass chess. Whatever you want to call it.

Then it dawned on me this morning in the shower – there could be a weird parallel between my apartment’s toilet paper situation and the current Peak Oil fiasco going on in the world today. Work with me here. Just go along with it.

When you first get a new econo-pack of toilet paper, and you know you’re set for a while, you use it to your little heart’s content. You go for an extra three wipes, kick the tires and take another lap around the track. That’s gross. But you could say the same about a new tube of toothpaste or a new bottle of shampoo. You glob the toothpaste on your brush, or you fill your palm with shampoo and you treat yourself right.

That’s like the way the United States was with oil in the 1950s. We had a lot of it and we used the shit out of it. I’m not a historian, but I think in Texas in the 1960’s, they used to have contests to see which town could waste the most oil. It was crazy back then.

Back to the parallel…

In any office where there’s a woman working, it’s a safe bet that there will also be at least three men working there who are convinced that she is on her period every time she says no to any request they have. Don’t believe us? Then watch this video for proof.
