Let Me Make You Smile in Bed

A classic comedic offering from The Four Postmen.
It’s a very well done piece, it’s hopeful in the sense that only
horn dog men can be, it has great musical timing and lyrical
beauty, and it shows women that males can indeed be
creative when we need to be.
Especially, as I noted earlier, when it involves a horn dog man.
Sometimes being naughty can lead to great things.
That is our strength, and we must foster it…

Homer Gets Booted…

From an All You Can Eat restaurant!
I find this one funny for many reasons, he makes an enemy of the Sea Captain
for culinary reasons mostly, Lionel Hutz actually wins a case, and Marge doesn’t
rip Homer’s bald, yellow noggin’ off for being a self centered jerk.
She showed much restraint, a reflection of her great character.
Some awesome lines here…

Dieting and Taking Care of Yourself

Canadian stand-up comedian John Wing has long been a favorite of mine.
His killer combo of snark, bewilderment, and bemusement are a site to behold.
This is a really funny bit, unless of course you’re about to go in for a rigid
Sigmoidoscopy, then please ignore this piece and enjoy the wonderful musical
novelty that I have added to today’s postings.
A jet powered elevator ride is not for the weak of heart…

Best in Show

This is one of a few flicks that Christopher Guest had a hand in
putting together, and I think the funniest.
Mr. Guest has a superb comedic pedigree, he did a lot of work
for National Lampoon in the early days, both the magazine and
the radio show, also did a few movies along the way.
He was in Spinal Tap, the cult metal head parody of the 1980’s.
Did a few mockumentary style flicks, was/is British royalty, and
the pinnacle of all that is wonderful, he married Jamie Lee Curtis.
Yep, he’s in the big leagues.
This whole movie is silly, Best in Show makes fun of the multitude
of professional dog shows that exist, especially the Westminster
event that takes the country by storm.
Even better, it parodies the people who follow such things.
This scene has the late, great Fred Willard as a commentator who
has nary a clue, about anything…
