As Alison mentioned earlier, we’ve got a goddamn comedy festival on our hands and you can win tickets. This is very, very good news. To celebrate, I want to share a local performer’s standout set from the inaugural Bridgetown. Ladies and gentleman, from the Oregon coast, Ron Funches:

Introducing Shii, the Wii for Women!
Even if you don’t speak Belgian (or “Flemish,” as they would have you call it), you’re going to like this fake, sexist-but-funny commercial for Shii, the Wii for women.

Dog vs. Elephant: Who Ya Got?!
HA! Fooled you! You see, life isn’t about competition, it’s about building strong interpersonal relationships. It’s about taking someone’s trunk in your fuzzy white paw, looking into their eyes, and barking softly, “You’re cool with me, man.” If these two can do it… (sniff, sniff)… Then why can’t we? Why can’t we?

Silence of the Lambs Lego Musical
I don’t think there’s anything I could say about this that isn’t already explained in the title except that it is AMAZING (and I guess NSFWish). Happy St Patrick’s Day* *I guess I don’t know what St. Patrick’s Day is.

Dear Zachary
Recently I’ve been recovering from surgery, which means all I do is sit home, watch movies, and gulp down percocet (which is a big deal to me, but probably just another day in the pill-addicted life of our film editor, Erik Henriksen). This weekend, during a blaze through the dregs of the Roku catalog, I […]
