Eugene Mirman has funny friends and has helped many young truly funny people get their start with his Invite Them Up show in New York in the mid-2000s. He's great on Bob's Burgers and seems to be doing quite well for himself. Yet I don't find his stand-up funny. At all. Like, not at all. What am I missing?

What is this, fucking reddit?

Definitely agree on the first one being the best and arguably the greatest horror movie of all-time. Though for some reason the sequel terrified me more as a kid - it copied the suspense of the original, but added some extra brutality (the jacuzzi scene, for instance).

And so, the Josh Gad train rumbles onward…

I think I also remember reading in one of those SNL books that Murray was mimicking HST's mannerisms, almost to an eerie extent, long after filming. In this video he's co-opting HST's fast mumblespeak, as well.

Wait, there has to be more, right? You get 4 of the biggest names in comedy (at the time) on the same stage in New York and only get 6 minutes of inane questions from this lady? After the interview they had to have went on to do a 40-minute improv show together, right?

Murray's totally wasted. This is right around the time he was hanging out with Hunter S. Thompson to prepare for his role in Where the Buffalo Roam, and HST rubbed off on Bill a bit too much. Sunglasses all the time, chain smoking, and constantly under the influence is the only way to go through life.

I for one don't mind Pete Holmes but Harmon is the fucking worst. Just the fucking worst.

Yeah, at that PaleyFest panel for the cast of Undeclared, he was mercilessly giving Jay Baruchel a hard time in front of the audience, to laughs. Then when Baruchel became visibily/vocally irritated, Segel doubled down on the ball-breaking. It was equal parts funny/dickish.

Josh Gad is a poor man's Josh Gad.

Colin Jost: the next in a long line of head SNL writers who've been mistaken as "funny" when they're really just white, smart, privileged and from the "right stock."

Was this the one where one of the female leads meets a guy at a museum then goes home with him and wakes up the next morning only to find paperwork on his desk of a positive VD test from the clinic?

The more shit Sir Ben Kingsley is in the more I think he should've dropped the "too good for this" act and starred in Cleaver, after all.

Jonah Ray: Proof that no matter how unfunny and unlikeable you may be, if you have the right friends you can make it in the comedy world!

Yeah it's pretty well-known that Aykroyd's original script was an unwieldy intergalactic mess. Ramis brought it down to earth and made it the schlubs-as-exterminators story we can all relate to!

As William he has an all-time hilarious Mad Men line that is mostly funny for the face he makes when he says it. Don and Betty are visiting their ailing father and to start small-talk says "Dad, did you see Don's Cadillac? Ice blue! White top!"

IIRC it all started when Kumail tweeted that 80% of car accidents in LA are attributed to drivers fast-forwarding through the first 20 min. of Maron's podcast. Which is a pretty sick burn even if the recipient isn't a neurotic thin-skin like Maron.

Steven Regal was interviewed on Jericho's podcast recently and he had a GREAT Dusty story. It was Regal's first day at WCW and they sent him to Dusty's office first thing. So Regal goes to where he's pointed and it's Dusty, sitting ass-naked behind his desk in only a pair of cowboy boots with an intimidating looking…

Eerie timing as I just received my American Dream Son of a Plumber shirt in the mail last week. Hard timesth, indeed, daddeh!

L.D. was in the Dick Ebersol years. He has a great story of going home at like 10 or 11 on a writing night and Ebersol caught him getting on the elevator:
