This Exists... Because of A Lady

Help Teal Sherer Make Another Season Of My Gimpy Life! [VIDEO]

by Jill Pantozzi | 9:30 am, May 16th, 2013

I already thought Teal Sherer was pretty cool before we met in person at GeekGirlCon last year. Most know her best from her role as Venom in The Guild but Sherer had ideas for her own web series and it was something a bit more personal. My Gimpy Life is a comedy based around her real experiences working in Hollywood as a performer with a disability. Season 1 was fantastic, had guest-stars like Felicia Day talking about sci-fi erotica, and won a bunch of awards and accolades. (Check out the entire first season of My Gimpy Life here.) The last we heard from Sherer was an adorable Charlie Brown-inspired holiday greeting but now she’s looking to fund Season 2 of My Gimpy Life and needs your help! Take a look at her plea video then head on over to Kickstarter to pledge!

Amy Poehler recently got the chance to sit down with comedy writer/producer Irma Kalish for her webseries Smart Girls. It was a pretty big deal for Poehler considering Kalish is a significant trailblazer for women in comedy. Take a look at their chat, it’s enlightening and sweet.

Does Anyone Care About Spock? Zachary Quinto Is On The Case. [VIDEO]

by Jill Pantozzi | 1:15 pm, February 1st, 2013

Poor Zachary Quinto. To some Star Trek fans, he will never be Spock. And to some people he’s just a guy in a leather jacket and glasses harassing them on the street. Funny or Die’s Billy Eichner took the actor on a wild jog down the streets of Manhattan to see if anyone would recognize him as Spock and/or care. The responses are pretty great.

Game of Thrones As A Comedy Works Remarkably Well [VIDEO]

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:34 am, November 24th, 2012

Who knew adding a laugh track (ala Seinfeld) to some really emotionally heavy scenes from HBO’s Game of Thrones would work? Matin Comedy, apparently. While only a select few scenes are chosen for this video, something tells me a lot are in for a good laugh.

‘Cloaxia’ Promises One Hole, Many Confused Laughs [Probs NSFW]

by Zoe Chevat | 5:41 pm, September 13th, 2012

Upright Citizen’s Brigade gets it. You’re a busy woman, and you don’t have time to deal with your vagina. This…might not be the solution you’re looking for (or even a real one).

In a great, almost too weird, sendup of women’s medication ads that hits the tone right on, a bevy of smiling, pleased women espouse the virtues of having a cloaca. Yes, the anatomical pathway that birds have. With a rapid-fire stream of jokes that will have you halfway between laughing and repeatedly muttering “what” under your breath, this faux ad for Cloaxia maintains a straight face all the way through.

Just remember ladies, eggbinding is a serious condition.

Phyllis Diller, Legendary Comedian and Trailblazer, Dies at 95

by Alanna Bennett | 4:21 pm, August 20th, 2012

It’s a sad, sad day for the comedy world: Phyllis Diller, who made famous the persona of the eccentrically-dressed, wisecracking housewife, died Monday. She was 95. She will be remembered for her wold cackle, her manic hair, her insatiable humor, and for the uncountable ways in which she blazed trails for female comics young and old today.

The Last Gotye Parody That Will Ever Be Made (Or Should Be Made)

by Jill Pantozzi | 1:15 pm, July 26th, 2012

When something hits really big, it inevitably gets parodied. And parodied. And parodied until everyone wishes it would just go away. The reason everyone starts making parodies in the first place is because the source material was so good so it’s a shame once the internet is done with it, no one ever wants to see/watch it again. So goes the music video for Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know.” To be fair, the videos that spun off of it were actually quite entertaining, and we simply cannot get the Star Wars/George Lucas version out of our heads, but perhaps it’s finally time to put an end to them all. Here to do it is comic Eric Schwartz. Watch as he attempts to break up with the song for good and when you’re done, you may want to watch this just to keep the circle of life intact.
