Like I don’t even think the movie realizes it’s doing this because it shows comedians who know what they’re doing crushing it (Carlin, Robin Williams, Drew Carey, Sarah Silverman, Emo Philips, negron, etc)
next to a bunch of hacks who stop the movie cold

This is from The Aristocrats, a movie I still think is one of the most brilliant movies about comedy because it shows how being edgy only works if you understand how to structure and deliver a joke, otherwise it’s a hacky slog

one of the funniest jokes i ever saw was in like 2004 Taylor Negron said "it's just been so hard for us to come together as a nation following the horror of February 11," and when someone asks he follows up with "I left my visa at the Nashville Marriott, it was a disaster"

(I’m sure I mangled the wording but if people want to see it it’s on the extra features of the aristocrats DVD)

Pro-wrestler Poltergeist talking about his signature move "the ass haunter":

A thing I respect about Poltergeist is that it doesn’t fuck around. Like your ass is haunted scene one.

Like these are actual song titles listed in the review!

Batshit crazy song titles by jay electronica

PadRocky Horror @padrock.bsky.social · 1h

Feel like I am having a stroke reading this positive pitchfork review of Jay Electronica. “Sure he loves Diddy and Candace Owens and hates Jews and Ukraine but he raps about films he likes and can sound like ODB”

Jay Electronica: A Written Testimony: Leaflets / A Written Testimony: Power at the Rate of My Dreams / A Written Testimony: Mars, the Inhabited Planet

Sometimes a theme will emerge organically with the movies I pick and this years seems to be “horrifying oral sex”

27. Blood Quantum. On paper a lot of great stuff happening. The focus on an immune reservation puts a fresh layer of context on the usual zombie tropes and leads things to an engaging conflict. Sadly the execution isnt always up to the task

26. 28 Weeks Later. We just could not keep our cameras stable in the 2000s could we folks? A handful of bland elements keep this movie from being great but when things go to shit it packs a punch. The zombies feel truly terrifying as things collapse in a moment
