Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out

Things are slow on the comedy front. Thought I'd post a song.

The internet has solved so many problems in life but once in a while you'll run into a question that can't be searched - an ungoogleable problem. I ran into one recently. I had a song in my head, I knew it was from the 80s, I knew the melody and one of the synth sounds but I didn't know the artist, the title, a single lyric or what it was about.

After much searching, I've found it. It's "Steppin' Out" by Joe Jackson. It's great.

SNL - Farewell Mr. Bunting

The odd thing about this is the age of the reference. Do the kids today know about "Dead Poet's Society"?

The odder thing about this is that SNL actually did something funny. Shocking.

E:60 - May 1, 2011

The major problem with ESPN's "30 for 30" movies is deciding which one watch. It seems like they're all amazing. Whether you have a passion for the subject or know nothing about it, the documentaries are so well done that they turn out equally as interesting.

Now there's a weekly show called "E:60" which is not really related but I'd call it a spin-off. They recently did an episode called "May 1, 2011".

It's rare that I'll witness a live event on TV, and rarer still that there's a historic event worth watching, but I was watching this one.

David Letterman's Screen Test for Airplane

David Letterman auditioned for the role of Ted Stryker in the movie "Airplane!" and the footage is on youtube.

The laughter you hear is the Late Night studio audience.

Star Wars Episode V Title Sequence

In honor of the new Radiohead album, here's an "alternate" version* of the "Empire Strikes Back" title sequence.

Watch in full screen.

Star Wars - Episode V "The Empire Strikes Back" Homage (Title Sequence) from KROFL on Vimeo.

* None of the Star Wars films have a title sequence.

When Radiohead released the song "Spectre" for free on Soundcloud, the message they posted with it ended with "May the Force be with you." for no apparent reason. Funny.

It is the future and there is time for... Combatribes.

The Continue guys battle through controller ineptitude to figure out if The Combatribes is worth playing.
