Rounding out the remaining of the week’s best comedy vids over at Splitsider : a US president who’s never seen Rocky, arcade prizes you’d never see coming, and the last guy you’d would like to see in a role interview.
Other highlights from this week in comedy:
- We proved – using science! – that 30 Rock is a higher show than $#*! My Dad Says .
- Conan returned to TV , at long last. We sure missed stuff like this .
- The Simpsons was renewed for an absurd 23rd season , and we discovered a very credible conspiracy theory connecting the show to 9/11 .
- We spoke of why most comedy movies just aren’t all that funny .
- Community had one of its best episodes yet, including an excellent little Easter Egg for fans to check .
- George Bush came back into the inside track, much to the delight of late night comedians .
