Becky Vs. Bob McBobbob

All right, folks. First ever UCB Comedy Blog Cagematch. In one corner, we got your Becky Feldmans and we got your Cissy Fenwicks, with "BBQ Sauce," a short and sweet sketch that I freakin' love that they put together. In the other, we got YouTube user rockshya23, best known for saying "ucb just keeps pumping out shit that i dont think anyone seems to enjoy,"* and his latest video, "Bob McBobbob." Who ya got? Vote at the right!

We're childish tools. But come on, Becky and I needed something to do in the office today. Plus, I totally feel for rockshya23, because when I was ten I thought the name "Bob" was hilarious, too.

Summer's the best! Here're some videos not really related to summer!

Hey everyone! I'm happy. Why am I happy? Because it's nice and beautiful and sunny outside, and that gives me an excuse to eat lots of frozen yogurt. And what better activity is there than than kicking back with a cup of Menchies and watching some videos? Here are a couple recent UCB Comedy Originals, the first being one I originally wrote with my Maude team Up, Up, Up! and filled with a bunch of performers from the LA theatre who I know from personal experience are awesome talented people, the second from the New York theatre with a bunch of performers I've never met personally but am sure are awesome talented people. Enjoy!

Happy summer!

Nate Dern, From UCB Comedy's American Apparel, Everyday Sexy video, in HeebMagazine.com

After getting through of the trauma of a Jewish sleep-away camp (seriously, some of the kids who go there are far to young to overhearing their counselors fingering each other while pretending to be sleeping), most young, former Jewish practitioners read Heeb Magazine.

I was stoked to see that Nate Dern, who played Dov Charney in UCBNY's American Apparel: Everyday Sexy, was featured on heebmagazine.com.

One-Word Summer Movie Reviews

I don't mean to gloat, but I'm sort of the UCB Comedy blog in-house movie reviewer. More by default than anything else, having written reviews of some of the bigger films of the past year. And since the summer movie season is now officially in full swing thanks to the release of Ice Age: Dawn of the Dead, I thought I'd give a quick rundown of the films to come out so far this summer. I'll try to be quick and just edit the lengthy, 500-word reviews I originally wrote down to one, the first word of each review (because any good reviewer knows their readers usually only read the first word anyway).

Up - Great...

The Hangover - Funny...

Terminator: Salvation - Robots...

Land of the Lost - Will...

Public Enemies - It's...

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian - Night...

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - Robots...

The Proposal - Tittynope...

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 - 1...

My Sister's Keeper - Robots...

So now you know what to go see. Have fun!

July 4th Fun!

Hey everybody! Man, it's been so long since I last blogged. I'm sorry, I've been doing Adventures to Adventure Mountain and whatnot (yes, shameful self-plug). Not to mention, America's 6th favorite holiday (after March 7, "National Crown Roast of Pork Day"-- go ahead, look it up), July 4th, is today. So I owe you something special. I figure, what's the thing we do most on this comedy-related blog? We try to do funny stuff. So, I'm thinkin' why not really mix it up and do something not funny:

Five Unfunny Ways to Spend July 4th (the unfunniest I can think of right now):

5. Have a barbecue
4. Watch fireworks
3. Eat a hot dog you microwaved
2. Forget it's 4th of July
1. Watch a movie


Do those things! Happy 4th of July! Bye!
