BOB SAGET CARES ABOUT WOMEN’S HEALTH
Comedian Bob Saget not only played a dutiful single father to three daughters on “Full House” back in the day, but he also has been known to have one of the filthiest stand-up comedy minds in the business. We know that he cares about helping others, as we noted in May when Bob Saget was raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Now he’s doing what he does best in the name of women’s health. Specifically, the Men For Women Now campaign for the Noreen Fraser Foundation, raising money and awareness for cancer research. Or, as Saget says: Boobs! Note: He does apologize before the video is over.
PLASTIC SURGERY BY IDIOTS OF ANTS
Idiots of Ants are a U.K. sketch group who like to think of themselves as idiot savants, as the name goes. We have seen them perform live and can assure you they are funny. Comedy geniuses, though? Just maybe. They did make the shortlist for best show at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which just ended over the weekend. And they have a new video on YouTube spoofing plastic surgery, as these docs will attest as they diagnose a prospective patient in ink. Does that wash off?
LIFE IS HARD AT IKEA
What’s it like to live your life in an IKEA? According to the sketch comedy series, “IKEA Heights,” it’s full of melodrama! Watch the first four episodes of Ikea Heights and find out for yourselves. Everybody else is just catching on to this, so don’t miss out on all of the watercooler talk. Note: You’ll have to put the watercooler together yourself with only a metal widget.
COMEDY CENTRAL SENDS FUNNY DVDS & CDS TO SOLDIERS
Comedy Central, in conjunction with the USO, has launched an operation called PVT Jokes, which sends care packages of comedy items to our American troops serving overseas on military bases near the frontlines of war, as well as military hospitals. The kits include DVDs of several Comedy Central Roasts (First Amendment, y’all!) and CDs.
DAVID CROSS TALKS TO THE A/V CLUB
David Cross has a new book out, and a new stand-up tour hitting theaters to promote the book, so “The Onion’s” A/V Club got Cross on the phone and asked him about both of those things and other things, too. Among many of those other things, Cross had this to say about his stand-up tour: “My first show on this tour is in San Francisco, and I notoriously have problems with San Francisco with a lot of PC people, who get upset and hiss and yell.” Be nice this time, San Francisco!
