I don't get this; the very reason I use OS is because it doesn't form a chemical warfare cloud around you, unlike seemingly everything else out there.

Don't be a simpleton.

Several people have mentioned Kyle Kinane already, but it's worth plugging him again as he might be the best all-around comic working right now. Jen Kirkman and Hannibal Buress both have really good stuff out there, but both their latest specials were slight steps down IMO. Neal Brennan's Three Mics special is…

Also, who doesn't like portmanteaus? That's just crazy talk.

To be fair, wrestling by its nature tends to go through cycles of this, but WWE's slavish devotion to formula and insistence on marketing to as broad an audience as possible throws the ratio of highs to lows way off, and the ridiculous amount of programming (6 hours a week just counting the flagship shows for…

Well if Keith David said it, it obviously sounded very true.

It depends on what the root cause of the pneumonia is, I think.
