A Witch in the Pit

This is a great scene from a classic movie.
Sam Raimi directed Army of Darkness, starring
Bruce Campbell, in 1992 and a cult flick was born.
Enough sight gags, corny dialogue, and Deadites
to please anybody who has ever worked in Hardware.
Shop smart, shop S-Mart…


Confession

Having been born and raised a Catholic I find this
piece of stand-up comedy by Kathleen Madigan
hilarious in every way.
My only complaint is that I wish I had received her
legal advice during my formidable years.
To my credit there have been very few times in my
life where I have needed a lawyer.
Just saying…


The Lost Teeth Song

Animated Song Biscuits, aka Rhett and Link, with a
dark little ditty about a man who was beaten to
death with a pool noodle.
No, not really, I made that up, but I did want people
to visualize that.
Technically it could happen, more likely dying from
exhaustion because of the intense giggling.
An interesting story for sure.
A dust up at the local pool leads to gumming issues
for a local man…


Tom Parks on the A-List

I don’t usually do the bootleg video thing.
There are times when you must deviate from
your norm because of intangibles.
Tom Parks was brought to my attention many
years ago when he was on HBO’s Not
Necessarily the News show.
NNtN was kind of a rip-off of a British BBC
Television program called Not the Nine O’Clock News,
starring Rowan Atkinson, but it wasn’t the usual dumb
down American version of all things stolen from the BBC.
Tom Parks was intelligent, personable, and really funny.
I started to follow his stand-up career and was very
impressed with what I saw.
So much so that I have deemed some of his material to
be absolute classic, it’s that good.
To this day I cannot find anything mass produced in any
kind of usable format that I can post or play on the show.
That’s a real pity because I believe that he had all the
material, talent, and style to be one of the very greats.
This piece, as flawed as it is, was taken from a special
that he did back in 1992 and it contains some of the
material that I consider to be his classic stuff.
As you can see he is a very polished stand-up comedian
with top notch stage presence.
Smart as a whip, and twice as likeable, please forgive the
crappy recording, especially the glitches.
If he wasn’t so darned good I wouldn’t even post it…
