Joss Whedon Joins The S.Q.U.A.T. Team In Geek & Sundry’s Written by a Kid

by Kellie Foxx-Gonzalez | 1:14 pm, July 18th, 2012

Ever since Felicia Day previewed her show line up for Geek & Sundry, a Youtube channel catering to us geeks, we’re been pretty excited for the premier of Written by a Kid — the show promised us “children reading stories set to short films by various directors,” so what could you possibly not love about that? As it turns out, there is nothing you could possibly dislike about this series, and if you find something, the demi-god Joss Whedon will smite you, because he stars in the very first episode. This week’s program features 5-year-old Brett narrating the epic tale Scary Smash. The episode also features Kate Micucci and David Foley. Just try not to get too overwhelmed by possibly the cutest child ever and our nerd-leader occupying the same 4-minute video.

Okay You Primitive Screwheads

Garfunkel and Oates Reveal the Cold, Hard Truth About Life in “29/31″ [Video]

by Jamie Frevele | 1:14 pm, May 29th, 2012

Dear younger readers of The Mary Sue: This video by comedy musicians Garfunkel and Oates (aka Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci) is going to drop some knowledge on you, and it should be taken as the truth. Your 20s might seem all awesome and whatevs, and they should. Because once you’re in your 30s, this changes. Take it from someone in her 30s.

Though accepting that the world is not your oyster is actually kind of liberating.

7 Women Who Used The Internet to Make The World A Funnier Place

by Amanda LaPergola | 12:55 pm, September 28th, 2011

In spite of the advancements of hilarious women this past year — the success of Bridesmaids, that awesome Amy Poehler-orchestrated pageant at the Emmys — mainstream comedy remains very much a boy’s club. We cannot blame it entirely on the boys themselves. The entertainment industry likes to stick to antiquated ideas about what is “marketable”. Anything different is “risky” and could cost studios money. It sucks, but that’s the situation. We still have a long way to go before comedy can be truly gender-neutral.

That is why the internet is such a blessing. With the internet, anyone can create and put their work out there for the world to enjoy. The writer can write, the singer can sing, and the comedi-er can comedi without jumping through industry hoops. This is the internet at its best: the boundless freedom that almost makes it worth unregulated Youtube comment sections.

Let us take a moment to honor those women who have made the internet their playground and given us a chuckle along the way.
