1. Does anybody know how to embed a ucbcomedy.com video on tumblr? I can’t get it to work, and it’s making me feel old.
2. Are you coming to see me sit in with Diamond Lion tonight, 9:30 at UCB, paired with The Two-Man Movie? Apparently it’s sold out, but there will be a stand-by line (FANCY).
TEEN WHEELS EPISODE TWO
i like the psa at the end
“Hey, I wish I could watch an episode of an hilarious and mildly disturbing new web show that’s kind of like a Saved By The Bell fever dream, and also Morgan would sing the theme song and then show up in that episode as a Cuban gangster who (SPOILER ALERT) shows his ass cheeks and gets blown up!”
Lucky you!
(And do make sure to watch the PSA after the closing credits. Wize wordz.)
TEEN WHEELS IS HERE
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats guys, this is awesome.
My mother was very diplomatic about her reaction to this video. PROBABLY DON’T SHOW THIS TO YOUR MOTHER, BUT DO WATCH IT YOURSELF.
I joined a new improv group a few weeks ago (“Get Paid”), and this Thursday we’ll be competing in CageMatch, the long-running improv battle at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York City.
CageMatch is my favorite show. Two teams perform, and the winner (determined by audience vote) returns to face a new challenger the following week. I’m proud to be competing as part of Get Paid — I’m a big fan of all my teammates, and I’m honored to be working with them.
We’re up against The Law Firm, a veteran group full of insanely funny and talented people. In last week’s show they went up against another great group, RAGNARÖCK. After RAGNARÖCK’s set I thought, “Wow, if Get Paid is able to do a show even close to that good, I’ll be really proud of us.”
The Law Firm won, 110 votes to 30.
If you’re free, I’d love it if you could come. Even with a partisan crowd our chances of winning are slim, but the extra friend-laughs might be juuuust enough to buffer my fragile ego when the final vote tally comes in.
Also: ANY GIVEN SUNDAY (Thursday).
Thursday, 4/14, 11pm. Reservations can be made here.
One of my dream jobs is to be the guy at the movie studio who cherry picks positive language from negative reviews, for use in advertisements. ”Your Highness” currently has a fairly miserable 27% rating at Rotten Tomatoes.
YOUR HIGHNESS
“There are a lot of boobs in this movie.”

I demand:
1. An explanation.
2. A “where are they now” about the lead singer.
3. A documentary.
4. A biopic.
5. A comeback tour.
6. A tragic fall.
7. A tell-all autobiography.
8. An enduring legacy.

MUST. WATCH.
Everyone needs to listen to this song immediately.
(via thedailywhat)
I make a point of not publicly “hating” on pop culture, because it just strikes me as negative and pointless. That being said, every adult involved in the creation of this song should commit ritual suicide. If you can’t make it through the whole thing, at least listen to the lyrics in the section beginning at 2:05. This song is a mind poop.
Mike posted a Scrabble-related word list. I had to correct him, because I am a Scrabble nerd. As a Scrabble nerd, I am familiar with the following (very important and confusing) information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tournament_Word_List
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOWPODS
To sum up: Scrabble amateurs use random dictionaries; Scrabble hobbyists (and most computer programs) use the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary (OSPD); American tournament players and Scrabble nerds use a list which is basically the OSPD + some swear words and racial slurs; British Scrabble nerds use a different list which includes a bunch of silly British-isms; International tournaments use a list called SOWPODS that combines the American and British lists.
All of the lists are somewhat arbitrary. They include super-goofy words, and exclude some comparatively reasonable ones. The important thing is that you agree upon the word list before you start playing.
“Important.”
@morgan is still getting 5-10 new Twitter followers every day who are seemingly mistaking me for Morgan Oey, member of Indonesian boy band Sm*sh. Mostly teenage Indonesian girls.
My Twitter icon is a picture of my (bearded, caucasian) face. My tweets are in English, and never about anything remotely boy band-ish.
I’m thinking about using Google Translation to send a tweet in Indonesian. What would be the funniest and/or most evil choice?
HELLO, DUM DUM!
(First episode of a show starring D’Arcy, Abra and Mackenzie. Shocker: It is awesome.)
My girlfriend decided to figure out why I have 284 teenage Indonesian girls following my Twitter account, @morgan. Understandably.
It appears that I am being confused with Morgan Oey, dreamy member of Indonesian boy band Sm*sh.
Understandably.
