Sometimes when groups of young Bangladeshi men are hanging on the sidewalk outside my apartment and speaking loudly in a foreign language (usually when harassing passers-by), I fantasize about flinging eggs down on them from my window.
I have it all thought out. It would be covert. I would open the top part of my window just slightly, and turn off my light. I’d get the eggs out of the...
Hang on, I just want to take a moment to figure out when it is and is not okay to make fun of dead people on Twitter.
Last July, Amy Winehouse died. Within minutes of the announcement of her death, jokes appeared on Twitter at her expense, followed by an overwhelming reaction that those jokes were not okay, that they were in bad taste.
Amy Winehouse was a drug-addicted pop star, who contributed...

Splitsider was kind enough to include one of my essays on their list of best humor writing in 2011. Woody Allen is also on this list! We’re equals now! In all ways!

Give Me Something to Write →
Hello, Tumblr. I am starting this new writing project. It will, like most of my creative endeavors, probably become a spectacular and dazzling failure, akin to the Hindenburg disaster, the Kardashian wedding, or the new Men in Black 3 trailer. But I invite you to take part, if you’d like, before I pretend to forget about it in 6 months out of shame.

Best Roof Talk Ever: We're all off the field →
bestrooftalkever:
When the Penn State scandal broke this week, I was really bummed out about it. It had nothing to do with a love or respect for Joe Paterno (or any kind of significant lack thereof). It was because I had the misfortune (or in hindsight, perhaps blessing) of going to a school without a football…
Wow. One million times, this.
Penn State: My Thoughts
I am a Penn State alumnus. I graduated in ‘09. Some people have been asking me for my thoughts. I don’t know why — maybe it’s because I am a loud-mouthed asshole. But here are my thoughts, should they interest you. (Expanded from a bunch of shit I put on Twitter.)
1) We don’t know exactly what level of detail Joe Paterno received about the 2002 incident, and it may...

Follow Up of the Day: In her first sit-down interview, Hillary Adams, the daughter of accused child abuser Judge William Adams, tells the Today Show’s Matt Lauer why she decided to release the video of her beating 7 years later, and talks about the firestorm sparked by its posting.
“I think (my father) has been punished enough just by seeing this go public like this,” she says,...

WatchHey, you dopes on Tumblr! This is episode five of Movie ManDates! You can play it on the player here, but you should probably go here and put it into your iTunes, too!
WatchHoly shit, dudes. First seconds of the clip: dude in a green shirt gets approached by a cop, spun around, and fucking CLOCKED in the face. For (apparently) no reason.
Coolest part: immediate swarm of almost 100 cameras.

On Being Nerdy: Guest Appearance by My Girlfriend
Her: [playing Super Mario 3] Does it bother you that I'm not as nerdy as you?
Me: What do you mean? You're playing old video games with me.
Her: I know. But I am not as nerdy as you. I haven't read certain comic books you like, and I haven't seen all the TV shows you like.
Me: That's true. But there's a difference between not being into that stuff, and just having not seen or read it.
Her: That's true.
Me: For instance, there's a difference between you refusing to watch "Battlestar Galactica," and having simply not seen it yet. At least you're willing to let me expose you to it, and watch it with me. I love that.
Her: But what if I don't like "Battlestar Galactica?"
Me: Not possible.

popculturebrain:
Very rarely do I post something this serious minded but it’s extremely important that it be read by as many people as possible. Also that it came from the presumably forward thinking alternative comedy community is especially of note.
Below are excerpts from the original post by Poupak Sepehri, audience member at the closing Asssscat of the recent UCB Del Close Marathon in...
Being An Adult Doesn't Really Suck That Much
Some people think that the mid-20’s growing-up phase is super difficult and that the introduction of responsibilities and financial burdens, in general, sucks. I disagree! There are plenty of reasons being a “responsible” adult totally rocks.
Being employed is pretty cool. One of the big reasons people get bummed out about being an adult is that now there are all these...
