Good Morning, Comedy: Bobsled Wardrobe Malfunction
While the following video may not be the funniest thing you will ever see (because this is the funniest thing you will ever see), it does represent that tried and true cornerstone of comedy—someone splitting their pants.

Gallagher Hates Everything
There’s an interview with Gallagher posted last week at the Onion’s AV Club. Maybe you’ve read it already. It’s astonishing. Look, I know Gallagher’s an easy target.

Brent Weinbach Tonight @ The Bagdad
Brent Weinbach is Fucking Weird His set begins with choppy non sequiturs. He is slight.
