…you really can soar:
Crowder is funny but not God’s gift to comedy, but since nobody outside of Newsbusted is willing to made comedy concerning the Obama administration he gets not only the laughs but the credit.

They have two huge advantages that have added to their longevity. First of all their type of physical humor translates to any language. My grandmother spoke very poor English but she understood “Those crazy men” just fine.
The other is the length of their films are not only perfect for TV with plenty of room for the modern commercial, but are perfect for another reason.
I remember from Tip O’Neil’s autobiography that the best speech is about 9-15 min because that is how long you can hold attention, I think one of the reasons why the Stooges are stronger than the Marx Brothers and Laurel and Hardy (and don’t get me wrong they are all classic) is the fact that they primarily made shorts that can be watched on TV in 15-20 minutes, in a fast world that is a huge advantage.

I owe Father Z a bit of thanks. After seeing that clip from Yes Prime Minister I looked for it on NetFlix and it turned out both full series are there.
For some inexplicable reason they are only available for streaming till tomorrow so I jumped in and watched the first 4 episodes. Being a political junkie I found them very funny (particularly “Big Brother”).
It is amazing how relevant a lot of this stuff is but more importantly it is funny. I strongly recommend you take a peek if you have Netflix and give it a chance, you’ll laugh and these days extra laughter sure can’t hurt.

Via Father Z this funny little clip really hits the nail on the head over a lot of our pseudo catholic friends in both church and in clergy.
BTW if you are a fan of the old Adventures of Robin Hood series you will recognize Paul Eddington who played Will Scarlett in season four and just about anyone and everyone else in seasons 1-3.
Nigel Hawthorne of course stared in the fantastic movie The Madness of King George.
UPDATE: Welcome Red State readers, take a peek around. Laugh at the assumptions of the Sudan government, find out about the Worcester Catholic Men’s conference, who was there and who wasn’t, Discover when a wall isn’t racist, learn more about what popular demand can bring, and read about a real live soviet apologist on Morning Joe.
And if you need remote computer tech support I do that too!
