Viral Video Douchebag

Love / Shove post by Kjerstin Johnson, December 18, 2008 - 4:00pm; tagged Douchebag Decree, humor, music, video, web, youtube.

3007795341_5b3d6aede9.jpg

Some days you wake up to the right light coming through the window, that good song with the hand claps and the trombone in your head, and you don’t mind the slush at your feet or the hole (in the crotch) in your pants. Your coffee’s good and things just seem like they’re alright. And then you run into this….

Beard-dumb?

Love / Shove post by Kjerstin Johnson, November 14, 2008 - 9:38pm; tagged humor, music, musician, videos.
Tim Harrington, front man for indie rock band Les Savy Fav is as infamous for his stage antics (and tiny red shorts) as he is for his vocals. Tim has recently taken his showmanship to a new level with the PitchforkTV-produced web-show Beardo. Episode one, “Vampiral Dysfunction” (which probably would have been funnier not premiering on Halloween) guest-starred funny lady Kristen Schaal (Daily Show, Flight of the Conchords) and seemed to hold promise as another amusing, weekly online-timewaster. But then ooh…Tim…things got weird.

The Yanks are ruining yet another overseas comedy series

Art and Design post by Briar Levit, August 14, 2008 - 5:54pm; tagged American remakes, Australia, comedy, humor, kath and kim.

Kath and Kim are the clueless, flamboyant, and extremely tacky Australian mother and daughter on the show of the same name. The Aussie series—whose cocreators, Jane Turner and Gina Riley, are also its stars—is a hysterical parody of suburban life in Australia. EVERYthing is over the top—the accents, the clothes, the props, the plotlines. And from the first time I saw the show, the thing I loved about it was the fact that the two female leads were willing to wear silly prosthetics and unflattering clothes for the sake of good comedy.

Laughing All the Way to the Polls

Do Female Politicians need a New Punchline?
Laughing All the Way to the Polls
Article by Audrey Bilger, appeared in issue Fun & Games; published in 2005; filed under Social commentary; tagged female politicians, funny, gender roles, Hillary Clinton, humor, jokes, politics, power, presidents, voters.

Once upon a time, politics was serious business. These days, however, presidential merit is measured as much by frat-house standards as by traditional approval ratings (apparently, American ­voters would rather have a beer with Bush than with Kerry), and a well-timed joke can sometimes sway public opinion more effectively than a reasoned argument.

L in a Handbasket

Kate Clinton's Politics of Funny
L in a Handbasket
An interview with Kate Clinton by Aimee Dowl, appeared in issue Fun & Games; published in 2005; filed under Activism; tagged comedy, gay, humor, Kate Clinton, lesbian, politics.

Kate Clinton has been called the lesbian Jon Stewart. Her fans, however, prefer to think of Stewart as the straight Kate Clinton. Her career as a political humorist spans several White House administrations, but the current regime has offered her, like most liberal comedians, endless material for both her onstage comic monologues and her monthly columns for the Progressive and the Advocate.

Humor in the Heartland

Tales of a small-town feminist
Article by Betti Bernardi, appeared in issue Fighting Back; published in 1999; filed under Social commentary; tagged conditioning, humor, internalized sexism, rural, small-town america.

Imagine the jolt to my feminist sensibilities when I arrived, ready to serve, at the local Taste of the County dinner event and was presented with a plastic apron that had housewife emblazoned under my name. Shame heaped upon humiliation when I noticed—slack-jawed—that a potted plant, needle and thread, and recipe box (!) illustrated the damnable word. I, if the truth had been sought, have no visible gardening skills, find no personal satisfaction at the sewing machine, and sprint from any connection to the culinary arts.
