It being pilot season, I’ve been given the opportunity to read a bunch of scripts from shows being developed for the 2012-13 TV season. Now that I’ve read a bunch, I’ve compiled a list of my favorites.

Whenever I find myself at a party or a bar, drained by the task of holding up one end of a forced conversation, the question inevitably arises: “what do you do?” This question, in itself, is a vague one. It could technically be answered any number of ways…I do…

Throughout the history of Television and Motion Pictures, certain go-to devices have cropped up and laid their unfortunate eggs in some of our favorite programs’ baskets. Here at Lady-Bro, we seek to dissect these items in a feature called… THINGS IN TV AND MOVIES THAT ARE MAYBE CLICHÉ AND WE COULD MAYBE HAVE PEOPLE STOP USING!

Last week, I posted an innocuous Tweet about Chris Brown. Well, it wasn’t “innocuous” in that I said I wanted him to kill himself with poison, but it was innocuous in that I don’t really care that much about celebrities. I really don’t. I just thought the joke worked (14 ReTweeters can’t be…

Look Ma, I Set Up A Link on A Website
Tuesday afternoon, I was on Twitter. Writing jokes. Like many of my fellow comedians, I use Twitter as a virtual notebook to jot out zingers and pithy observations that might or might not be useful in front of an actual audience. Because I live to delight people.
Twitter is where I stumbled upon the news of the car accident that killed comedian Angelo Bowers and seriously injured comedian...

I witnessed something really gross happen last night. Something I wish I’d never experienced.
I saw one of my heroes be a total asshole.
I was booked on a show called Odd Thursdays at the Palace, a Chinese restaurant in Los Feliz. There is a small upstairs room that has become home to a few…

The Greatest Nigerian Scam Letter Ever.
Like everyone else, I’ve received my share of scam emails from Nigeria. The emails generally run along the lines of: “We have a ridiculous amount of money owed to you by a blah-blah-blah Nigerian prince, and we need you to send us blah-blah-blah funds in order to release such funds”. Basically, the usual stuff that snares the occasional naive old lady from South Dakota. ...

Clearly there are now two America’s running parallel alongside eachother in the space-time continuum. On the other one it’s ok to build mosques, eat eggs, and people read books. Kim Kardashian is just a stripper and Justin Bieber is a regular kid who likes to play catch.
And then in this reality they think it’s ok to remake Back To The Future, eggs kill you, nobody reads anything...
Joe Mande: New obsession: Early 90's Wendy's... →
Videogum.com posted this video earlier today. It’s called “Hot Drinks.” It was for Wendy’s employees in the 90’s to learn how to pour hot drinks. It’s also possibly the greatest song ever.
There’s another video to teach employees how to serve cold drinks. It’s called…
