TCGS #91 - We Will Predict Your Future

Amy Poehler helps us predict the future. We use fortune cookies, tarot cards, magic eight balls, and our own intuition to determine what will happen to our callers. We get a visit from Connor Ratliff. Phil Jackson performs poetry. The Human Wishing Well spins slowly. We also get crazy with the music of Zs and learn that we are genuinely good at predicting the future.

Amy Poehler is legitimately awesome.

“Taco Bell Party”

August 13th, 2012

In addition to all the musical silliness, the August show also had this which may be my favorite sketch I’ve written for Maude Night. Totally worth the money I spent on those tacos.

This is a great sketch. I reference it a lot and THANKFULLY it is online now!

MORE MITCH: Here’s another great Mitch Magee work to convince you to back his Kickstarter. 

This is the sixth episode of his web series Mister Glasses which he made for Channel 101 in NYC. It is am amazingly great episode. Reasons why:

1. It is a mystery, which is smartly and surprisingly solved.
2. Every shot is beautiful.
3. It is is only five minutes, but every character is clearly defined.
4. Megan Neuringer is sexy as all get-out in this (Pardon me, Megan). That seduction sequence is less than a minute but it’s as good as what you’ll see in MadMen.
5. Mitch (and his brilliant DP Paul Rondeau) made it in less than a month on zero budget, as he had done each previous episode for six months.
6. IT IS AN EPISODIC DRAMA ABOUT THE PERILS OF A GODDAMN ARCHITECT

This is five minutes, which I know is an eternity in our terrible age, but check this out, then back Mitch’s kickstarter. 

When I first moved to NYC I spent hours watching and rewatching Mr. Glasses, Welcome to my Study and Sexual Intercourse American Style. They got me through some of that hazy ‘what am I even doing here?’ time, and I am eternally grateful.

You should back Mitch’s kickstarter. I just did, and I feel awesome about it. I also just rewatched the above episode and giggled for 3 minutes after the last line: “Squares.”

Stephen Colbert on the marathon bombings. This made me cry, but then it made me so happy.

I didn’t know it was possible to like this man more.

This set by Joe Pera is one of my favorite comedy sets ever. At the first round of this year’s March Madness tournament at Carolines, sixty-four comics (myself among them) each did one minute of comedy. Most of us were loud and fast, doing our best jokes machine gun style. Joe Pera went up dead last. He spent the first ten seconds of his set calmly and quietly adjusted the position of the mic without speaking a word. He used the next ten seconds to do one joke. The rest of the set was one long applause break.

If you missed it, here’s Joe’s submission video to last year’s Andy Kaufman awards, which is brilliant as well. He’s one of the most original and surprising comics in the city; there is truly no one like him.

Automatic re-blog for Joe Pera.

Just watch this.
