"It is WATCHING A STRANGER TRIP and FALL GOOD!"

I'm away from work today cause I have a Carl's Jr. commercial to audition for. To my friends in the Southern part of the United States that is a Hardees (same company). I'm excited about the audition because the last ad I saw had Paris Hilton in it wolfing down a sloppy burger in a skanky bathing-suit, on top of a fancy car. I would be perfect for that.

With some time away from work I decided to watch some Tivo. Since I don't use the Tivo all that often I sometimes forget that I'm using it and let the commercials run...it was half way through the second commercial break of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia [The gang finds a Dead Guy] that I saw a Yoplait Yogurt commercial. The premise I've seen before: its two ladies enjoying some yogurt and one up-ing each other. Ex: "It's good. First kiss good...Shoe shopping good." You get the point. Well I thought it was lame (and secretly wished I was in any commercial that is currently running on TV) and then decided to write some jokes about it. I set there think of all manner of smarmy things to say about the commercial and the ladies in it, and then terrible things they could say to one up each other. Then I thought it would be a great parody to shoot as a sketch and put online and THEN i went to the Internet and discovered that I am as creative as about a million other idiots that had the same idea. So I immediately through out my jokes but started watching yogurt commercial parodies on YouTube. There is a lot. Most are lame, but they all beat me to the idea. Here is a few:

This is the first one I saw.


This one started off slow but ended up making me chuckle.


This was my favorite of the three. I don't know if I liked the WASPy direction they are headed or if it the things they are saying but I laughed.


There are many many more on YouTube. All of them reminded me of something I would have done with a camera and friends in high school. So here is my challenge to any person that stumbles across this blog. Please one up everyone. Leave a comment and fill in the blank. "It is ______________ GOOD!"

Haircut


I don't really want to use this blog as a personal journal of my everyday life, because I don't think the public can handle that brand of awesome. It's mainly for comedy related thoughts and snobbish observation. However, tonight I find myself bored and waiting for my friend Todd to call me with the info on a fancy Hollywood party that we are supposed to be at; so I've decided to share my new haircut with the world. You can tell a few different things from looking at this picture:
1) I took it with the camera on my phone, it is not a very good camera. It makes me look like a red-headed guy in a sweater that his mom bought him...oh wait. Crap.
2) I'm not very hip. Normally when you take a picture of yourself in the mirror you have to be shirtless and flexing. For examples please spend at least 3 minutes on MySpace or Facebook.
3) The cork-board that I put on my wall is crooked -or- one of my legs is longer than the other. Both are possible.
4) My new haircut looks like every other haircut I've ever had. That is because no amount of product and "sculpting" can change genetics. If you've got Kennedy hair, you've got Kennedy hair and there is no sense in fighting it. You might as well put on your mom sweater and start pandering.
