Before they were TV stars and vanity restaurant moguls, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone made Cannibal! The Musical, a low-budget retelling of the story of Alfred Packer, the old-timey prospector who was convicted of cannibalism. Although really, […]
Sarah Squirm, aka Saturday Night Live’s Sarah Sherman, is making amends. Specifically, she’s using her Instagram account to reach out to all the worms she may have kidnapped, harmed or even murdered in the name of comedy. […]

Is there anything more frustrating than when a character has a flashback to a younger version of themselves that looks nothing like them? Okay, probably, but it’s a real “you had one job” situation. Sometimes, it […]
Remember that one friend of yours when you were nine, who said that they’d end up playing professional basketball? We have some bad news for you. We checked in with them, and it turns out […]

A patient is recovering from surgery, and the doctor asks him how he’s doing. “Not bad,” says the patient. “But I’ve been feeling very thirsty.” “That reminds me,” says the doctor. “I left my sponge […]
If you’re munching on some turkey jerky while reading this, fear not: We’re not here to protest every possible killing of an animal, or to say you can never use animals parts for anything. Meat […]
There’s no late-night activity that Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer liked better than catching a movie at their local theater. While they occasionally stood in line for actual classics like Weekend at Bernie’s II, they also […]
Good news — the government probably doesn’t care how you play games. If you drop money in the center of the Monopoly board, and it goes to whoever lands on Free Parking, no one will […]
Parodies are fun, but it only takes one Disaster Movie to understand the irony involved in a bad movie making fun of a good one. Even in a competent satire, it’s a lot easier to point out […]
When it comes to sitcom thievery, Stephanie Tanner has nothing on her Uncle Jesse. After the Fuller House revival ended its Netflix run, John Stamos made off with the blue-and-yellow loveseat that sat center stage for both […]
It’s hard to imagine Seinfeld without Elaine Benes, as played by the great Julia Louis-Dreyfus. In addition to her iconic bad dancing and overly-aggressive “get outs,” Elaine obviously provided a crucial female perspective to the core […]
One challenge for Oscar-winning documentarian Morgan Neville when it came time to tackle the story of childhood comedy hero Steve Martin? That was keeping his journalist cap on without falling into fandom. “You’re building a relationship, […]
