First thing’s first: Did everyone see Tina Fey’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton on “Saturday Night Live”? Booya! I’m having t-shirts made that say “Bitch is the new black” on the front, and “Bitches get things done” on the back. But if you missed Fey’s endorsement-as-comedy-routine, it’s not too late to catch it on the Internet because, as with most funny Internet videos, you can still find it at Funny or Die. And I would recommend doing so because it’s hella funny…and true.
Phew. Now that my political views are out of the way, a word or two about this Funny or Die website. Started by the cool kids of the comedy scene (Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and Chris Henchy), the site is a comedy site that hosts videos submitted by users and posts more that are exclusive to the site itself. Users then vote on which videos are worth watching and which videos are going to be sent to that video home in the sky, the idea being that this eliminates the picking-through-shit-to-find-diamonds aspect of Internet videos (and everything Internet, for that matter). In other words, if you don’t like wasting time on YouTube searching for the funny stuff (or if you don’t like waiting around for your friends to send you the funny stuff), give this site a look-see and you’ll probably get hooked.
Just a couple of my favorites that are currently featured on the site are the classics “What’s It Gonna Be?” and “Everyday Normal Guy Rap Song.” Of course there’s also newer stuff along with the classics, and most of it is worth at least a wry smile—a remedy for the blues that I, for one, might need after the votes are tallied in Ohio and Texas.
