Kevin Hart, Louis C.K. and The Rock made me laugh so hard today

Found these randomly on YT today. Never seen Secret Life of Pets, but these interviews with Louis C.K. and Kevin Hart together are hilarious. The chemistry between these two guys is amazing.




Buddy cop movie starring these two. Lethal Weapon-style, but Kevin is Riggs and Louis is Murtaugh. The best thing about Lethal Weapon was the chemistry between Gibson and Glover. Hart and C.K. have that rapport.

Plus they're both excellent comedians of different styles, the combination of the two resulting in mass hysteria in me laughing too hard.



Let me also say that, as a journalist and PR dude, I really like these styles of interviews. The interviewers are being really cool, it doesn't seem like there's a PR person off to the side, saying, "Don't answer that."

Then I saw this and it made me laugh the hardest: Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson impersonating one another:

YouTube's Most Watched Videos 2016

I was just wondering, what are YouTube's most popular videos? Which vids have been most watched? This one by YouTube channel Top Trends goes in depth about each video, and does a good job not spending too much time on each one.



So this video was published January 13, 2016, and I wondered if it's outdated by now, in April. Not so much, it turns out—as you can see in this mercifully short video from last March (couldn't readily find stats for April by searching YouTube, what's a google search?):

John Stamos Reads Negative Fuller House Reviews

This made me happy. These guys have fun with negative criticism, and John Stamos takes everything in stride. Full disclosure: I found this video thru the A.V. Club emailer to which I'm subscribed. Of course they wrote about it, because Seth Myers, below, mentions them and the stellar title of their Fuller House review, "Fuller House is like a porn parody without the porn."



The whole time, I was thinking about this:



"Where'd they print that? You can't print that!"

I have not yet watched Fuller House, but I have the same feeling about it that I have when I see, e.g., a celebrity endorsement advertisement. My thought it, "You go, celebrity. You make that money. More power to you. Be a slut. Slutting is fuuuuuun!"

If D.J., Steph, Kimmie, Rebecca, and those three impossibly old gentlemen can come together to make some moolah and make some people laugh, why not?

#watchthis: Pound House

Doug Lussenhop, I believe, was the editor for Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job!, and Pound House is Doug's post-all-that-show, featuring Tim in some eps, but not Eric.

Doug gets to be the straight man, while co-star Brent Weinbach, portraying a genius duality of character, steals the show. The co-stars are all awesome.

The show stays true to itself and follows a solid theme throughout—if I were to give an elevator pitch for Pound House, it would be that it feels like Tim and Eric, less spastic, mixed with David Lynch, starring comedy insiders, with great editing, great acting, and featuring at least three memorable, new characters (Doug, Brent, and the rapper/stick guy)—while breakout episodes like "Skate" take it in unexpected, even uplifting directions.






























"You just got sprayed."

Pound House 14, "Balls," just came out three days ago. Haven't even watched it yet. There it is, right there. Boom. Eat it.
