The Yanks are ruining yet another overseas comedy series

sm[art] blog post by Briar Levit, August 14, 2008 - 10:54am; 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.

Even though I take some issue with her critique of Skinny Bitch (more on that soon), Julie Klausner's diet fads video is pretty awesome. Happy V-day...

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; 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.
