The War On Christmas
Day #1 My Dearest Sally, We landed our forces in the North Pole today, and met heavy resistance from the elves, who were firmly entrenched and waiting for our arrival with candied pecan machine guns, long ranged candy canes, and vicious snowmen. After nearly 12 hours of brutal combat, we managed to unwrap their brightly colored pill boxes and drive them back. Not before we lost "South Boston," though. He threw himself on a box of cordials to save the rest of the squad. I can still hear his last words echoing above the sound of various artist's recorded Christmas Carols, "Remembah me, you bahstahds!". He died a hero,covered in melted chocolate and cheap booze.

5 of Juhi Chawla's Best Comedy Performances
Although Juhi Chawla has proven her versatility time and again with both romantic and tragic roles, it's probably her comic timing that has received the most praise over the years. Salman Khan recently claimed she has "better comic timing than Charlie Chaplin"!

Dave Chappelle, Hannah Gadsby, and the Offended Masses. Top Story - October 2021.
Well, I honestly thought that the whole controversy over Dave Chappelle's new Netflix special, The Closer, would have blown over by now. But, it seems that it's still front and center in the media, and getting spicier. Why? Probably because the media likes it that way.

The art of Comedy
People who live with humor people have a misunderstanding of the humorous time as art, not science. Greg Dean, a Los Angeles comedian who has worked and taught standing for 40 years, says that when people talk about comedians having a really good time they think they have found a way to move the audience and behave like a drummer and dancer. Comedy time is an important change, which cannot be explained to the audience, he said.

The Neckbeards of Adult Animation
I am 37 years old, and I will admit that every night I fall asleep to the sounds of adult animation. I have loved cartoons since I was a kid, my favorite being Scooby-Doo. There are so many amazing shows out there for our viewing pleasure, but as adult animation evolves into new genres, so does it create a new breed of viewers. Family Guy and South Park were really the first adult animated shows to come on the scene, to really push the boundaries of what could be said and shown on television, and make viewers think “what will they do next?” As more and more shows followed, they became more edgy, more complex, and more popular. One show that has caught fire over the past few years is Rick and Morty. Let me preface this by saying I am a huge fan. I think the universe that has been created allows for endless possibilities and years of entertainment. They can do anything because the writers are not handcuffed to any type of laws of time and space. However, there seems to be a population of fans that believe Rick and Morty is this intellectual masterpiece that many don’t understand. The truth is, Rick and Morty is Family Guy with science fiction and less flashbacks. A beligerent lead character going on a zaney adventure every week and utter non-sense follows. They aren’t trying to make some political or cultural statement, or bury messages about society in the episodes, they are just trying to tell fun stories and make dirty jokes. This idea that Rick and Morty has all these layers and only those with a certain intellect can truly enjoy it, is laughable. For the few of you that are reading this, and thinking “do people really think that?” The answer is, yes they do. In my opinion, the only show that has successfully been able to make a statement in its work is South Park, and at the end of the day, even that is toilet humor. However, some have said South Park is the closest you will get to what ancient Greeks were trying to accomplish with their comedies. For the record, I love all these shows. I’m not writing this to trash them. I am writing this to say that the reason I, and so many others watch them, is not to learn a lesson or feel like we are high and mighty (looking at you neckbeards), but because we love the stories, the characters, and the shit do and say. I will admit I spend less of my time watching shows like Family Guy and South Park, because as an adult I connect better with other shows. To side bar this entire article, I would like to take an opportunity to tell you what I think is the best adult animated show on tv: Bob’s Burgers. No show is as real and pure as Bob’s Burgers. The characters are relatable and they function in the real world. Sure, we all don’t have financial struggles, or kids, or weird friends, but we can still watch the show and understand what it might be like and appreciate how Bob and Linda will literally do whatever they can, sacrifice whatever they have to, to give their kids a happy life, all while having a lot of good laughs in the process. If you haven’t checked it out, I can’t recommend it enough. And if you’re looking for something a little more adult, wild, lot more depressing, check out Bojack Horseman. To close, watch what you want to watch and enjoy it, and next time someone implies that you are not intelligent enough to understand shows like Rick and Morty, just have a good laugh and enjoy the show!

Pretend I’m Fran Lebowitz
I, like most mentally ill jews obsessed with comedy, spend my nights anxiously awaiting sleep pretending to be on a 70s NBC stage, covered in cigarette ash, being interviewed for late night news. Also, like most mentally ill young jews, I found Fran Lebowitz and watched her Netflix special the day it came out. I have entertained the delusion of morphing into her through nothing but my own sheer willpower, mastery of illusion and desire to escape reality.

"Veteran Actor Charlie Chaplin"
Chaplin became the world's highest-paid film actor after signing a $ 670,000-a-year contract with a joint film company. This tramp, created at Essanay Studios in 1915 and directed by Chaplin, was his most outstanding creation and began to transform ordinary characters that the public already knew. The Lost film also starred Chaplin and Mabel Normand, with some of the directors.

News Flash: I Relate To Tankmen
Spoiler Alert: This contains spoilers for Tankmen 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2. This title isn't clickbait, but before I start on the main topic, I might have to explain where this is coming from. So a few days ago, I watched the web series Tankmen on Youtube. I had been wanting to watch it for a little bit as it had come across my Pinterest feed in the form of Friday Night Funkin' week 7, and I can't express this enough: It has exceeded my expectations. Without revealing my age, I will say that I was not around when Newgrounds was founded, nor was I even into it until a few weeks ago. So, honestly, I was not ready for what I was going to see, especially because I wasn't watching it alone (and you know how things can get when you aren't watching something alone.)
