The Worst Christmas Song Ever
Published by Toronto Mike on December 15, 2011 @ 22:45 in Humour, Music

The worst Christmas song of all time is Christmas Shoes by NewSong.

This is a great bit by Patton Oswalt in which he picks Christmas Shoes apart.

I dare you to name a worse Christmas song.

Louis CK Cuts Out Middlemen with DRM-Free $5 Download
Published by Toronto Mike on December 10, 2011 @ 21:56 in Humour

humour Readers of this blog already know I love Louis C.K., and now I have another reason sing his praises.

Instead of offering his Beacon Theatre performance as an overpriced CRM-loaded DVD, Louis C.K. is selling it as a $5 download. Fans can pay via Palpal at https://buy.louisck.net/purchase.

This is what it's all about. Talent like Louis C.K. can offer their material directly to fans at a very reasonable rate, and all middelmen can be completely cut out. I'm sure this performance is already on the Pirate Bay, but I'm giving Louis C.K. my $5 now, not only because I want this model to succeed, but because, as usual, Louis makes a compelling case against illegally downloading this video.

To those who might wish to "torrent" this video: look, I don't really get the whole "torrent" thing. I don't know enough about it to judge either way. But I'd just like you to consider this: I made this video extremely easy to use against well-informed advice. I was told that it would be easier to torrent the way I made it, but I chose to do it this way anyway, because I want it to be easy for people to watch and enjoy this video in any way they want without "corporate" restrictions. Please bear in mind that I am not a company or a corporation. I'm just some guy. I paid for the production and posting of this video with my own money. I would like to be able to post more material to the fans in this way, which makes it cheaper for the buyer and more pleasant for me. So, please help me keep this being a good idea. I can't stop you from torrenting; all I can do is politely ask you to pay your five little dollars, enjoy the video, and let other people find it in the same way.

And it's Louis C.K. and that means it's going to be funny. I like funny.

I Dare You To Laugh at This
Published by Toronto Mike on September 17, 2011 @ 16:18 in Humour

Releasing balloons for orphans at the University of West England in Bristol goes not as planned. At least that's the quote that accompanies this video.

Pretending for a moment these balloons do in fact include messages from orphans, your job is to watch and not laugh.

Who laughed? I want names...

George Carlin Got It (and Louis CK Knew It)
Published by Toronto Mike on September 5, 2011 @ 19:58 in Humour

microphone If you're ever at a party, and the subject of God comes up, be like George Carlin. George Carlin got it, as you'll hear in this little interview he gave in 2007.

Seriously, George Carlin was fucking brilliant, and we miss him. Here's a pretty amazing tribute to George Carlin by another of my favourite comedians, Louis CK. The Louis CK we have today is thanks to George.
