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So this video was published January 13, 2016, and I wondered if it's outdated by now, in April.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.

Growing up in the Seventies—Bill Burr on Opie Radio

Bill Burr, talking about his childhood, with a few other 40yo guys. Apparently not as much emphasis on safety from parents towards kids in those days? Part of me thinks they're full of shit, and the other part knows they're right.



Last night I tried on F is for Family on Netflix, with Burr voicing the main character, the patriarch of a five-person family. I like it. It's mostly good. After two episodes, I can see they're finding their footing, but it's got a lot of room to grow, and I'm interested to see where they push it. Complaint: I wish, for once, the father wasn't the main character in these Simpsons- and Family Guy-style cartoon shows. Sure, it reflects the harsh reality of life, but do we need television shows reinforcing that?

I did like Laura Dern's mom character breaking out into tears while she finally has time to enjoy her day. That was a bit of heavy reality, and it was also hilarious with the fish bowl on her head, and the dog Major humping her leg. I love Major's eyes that look in two directions, that's hilarious. And I do enjoy Burr trying to make the Seventies real for viewers. It's a nice period piece. The intro credit sequence is really awesome, too. I have a hard time feeling any empathy for the dad character, though. He'll have to break out of being a complete dick. But, I guess Burr's dad never broke out of that. So I dunno.

They're going for something not completely new, but a new take on an old thing. F is for Family, in my mind after seeing two episodes, is a cross between South Park and The Simpsons. I don't think Family Guy had as much of an influence here, that show's too spastic and disorganized. F is for Family focuses completely on the family members, with solid narratives, and believable plots.

It's shocking to viewers these days. I think that's what Burr wanted, though—to wake everyone up and say, "Hey, it wasn't always this way. It would behoove you to take a look backwards."

They've got some voice actors I can almost place, but I'm having trouble finding online. All I get are the actors for the family members, but not the neighbor kids, the fat cop on the TV show, the announcer guy on the other TV show, and some other people. David Koechner's obese, fried chicken-pounding, chain-smoking boss is hilarious. ("They should make a chicken of just skin.")

I swear the fat cop is either the Unsolved Mysteries guy, or a voice actor from Fallout 3.

I'm pleasantly surprised, and impressed, that Haley Reinhart is a voice actor on this foul-mouthed show. She needed to get a little cooler. I just tried to watch her sing Radiohead's "Creep," and it made me throw up in my mouth a little bit. There was absolutely no substance. Being attractive does not mean you deserve attention. So good on her for doing the little brother character and throwing f-bombs for her professional career.

Here's an IGN review of SSN1 that's mostly well-written.

Is Netflix completely kicking ass lately, or is it just me?

Gamer Poop, Skyrim #14, by Mans1ay3r

Everyone's talking about Fallout 4 and I'm here like, "So hey, how about that Skyrim?"

This is a new Gamer Poop. Thanks Machinima and Mans1ay3r, you're geniuses.
