I thought I'd dedicate Thursdays to Comedy. Stand up comedy is one of the things I truly enjoy when I'm not listening to music. With good comics, it's usually clever, usually funny, and very enjoyable.Zach Galifianakis is hilarious. He used to have a TV show on VH1 called "The Late World with Zach", but it got canceled because there weren't enough viewers. He hasn't been horribly successful until recently, but, he's really talented. He's one of those non-sequitur comics (almost on the line of Mitch Hedberg) that sometimes doesn't even finish sentences, because the rest of it isn't important to the joke. Sometimes he changes topics randomly, and sometimes he throws in random ridiculous one liners that are hilarious. He recently released a DVD of his work: Live at the Purple Onion. The DVD not only includes some of his live set, but a hilarious interview with Seth Galifianakis (played by Zach).
The silliest thing is this. Imagine a TV show on FOX where a young 20s attractive woman works in a morgue. (Funny, already!) She discovers a power where the dead people in the morgue ask her to save them. She is suddenly transported back in time to the previous day, and has to discover who these dead people are and try to prevent them from dying, while at the same time trying to keep her power a secret from everyone. The two people in the entire world who know of her abilities are her brother Harrison, and the Chief of the Morgue, played by none other than Zach Galifianakis. It's just silly to imagine a person who never seems to be serious about anything and who has such a lackadaisical view of the world play a totally serious confidante/chief of a morgue.
Anyways...I hope you enjoy:
