This is how I heard this video started…
Scene: New York Bar
Day: Yesterday
Time: 4PM
It was a chilly afternoon. One where your nipples were as hard as rocks as soon as you stepped outside. A local upper westside bar was packed with people who could once afford the neighborhood rent. They come to drown in their sorrows. In the evening they tell jokes, but no one laughs. No one thinks they are funny. They were once Gods of the underground, but got greedy. They saw light through a sewer cap and jumped up onto the mainstream. Yet the people of mainstream tossed them away like the garbage they are. Too ashamed to go back into obscurity, these ‘comedians’ hide in the back of dark, dank, nasty bars. Just hoping that they could figure out how the hell can they seem funny again.
“Twitter!” someone shouts. Everyone laughs. They do not laugh because they think it’s funny. They laugh to remember what laughter sounds like.
“Myspace!” someone burped. You could smell the cheap whiskey from across the bar.
Every day, the same shit. Every day, the same drunken jokes. The same ugly hookups in the corner. But today something new happened. Weird Al, was over by the jukebox trying to figure out what song he hasn’t made fun of when Sarah Silverman walks over and says “YOOknoWAT… yoooo shuld make fun of that We Ard da werldd videooo. I loove winter sports men Olympics.” Weird Al, understanding perfectly what any drunk girl says to him (practice people…), took the advice and threw everyone on a bus to some shitty recording studio in Brooklyn. Half the comedians didnt make make it, but the ones that did, were ready to go (RIP Andy Dick).
Out of a moment of clarity, Garfunkel & Oates ask “Didn’t the Olympics happen 8 months ago or something? Aren’t we far behind on this one?”
“Shut Up girls.” Yells Kathy Griffin. “Some of us don’t have real part time jobs where we have to ‘know’ things.” (oh, RIP Kathy Griffin too…)
So the gang of obsolete comedians, musicians, and asshats put on a show for themselves and decided to make it for a random charity they all felt like they were going to need to abuse in a few years (That being a food bank)
And here, you have this shitty video. The End.
