Last Saturday's comedy video open thread was the most popular yet with almost 6,500 reads. Sweet.
Tonight, as we're hours away from our nation's most highly-watched sporting event, it seems appropriate to focus on comedy in sports. As Archie Bunker used to say, can you folly that?

I love the little e-trade baby
January 31, 2009 - 23:54 ET by thebutlerdidithe's a cutie. The little black baby boy has got the cutest fat cheeks. Makes you want to squish 'em. I need to figure out how to get my grandkids in on this deal, sounds like more money than actually having an e-trade account.

Newsbusters: Have any

Have any of you checked out any of the Hollywood/celebrity television shows like Entertainment Tonight, Extra, the Insider, etc., over the last few months. Anytime I saw them before the election they were, of course, fawning over Barack Obama and predictably panning McCain/Palin and promoting Tina Fey. Since the election, everytime that I have seen those shows, they have continued to fawn over Obama and his bitter, angry, militantly America-hating wife Michelle. I don't know what those shows featured in the past, but I suspect that they rarely, if ever, paid any attention to political figures unless some celebrity dimwit had attacked some Republican. Anyone know the history of those Hollywood shows' treatment of politics and political figures? Have they always, night after night, promoted political candidates like they have been with Obama over the last several months and particularly after elections?
Yeah, TE... I've tried to

I've tried to avoid those shows like the plague, but occasionally one will be on in the background, and if I'm too lazy to look for the remote, I'll unavoidably hear some of the banal crap being flung at the audience. Usually, it will be something--anything--concerning Marie Osmond: "Our next segment deals with the breaking news that Marie has changed laundry detergents!
But, you're right, there has been nauseatingly excessive coverage of Michelle and the aren't-they-just-wonderful Obama family of late.

February 1, 2009 - 15:28 ET by needleI hope someone is saving copies of these excessively stupid remarks for a showing at this cite on an appropriate future occasion when Obama has ruined this country. We will need a laugh.
