    Comedy Central PSA asks #ShouldWeVote (Video)

    Billy Procida 0 Comments , , , , ,

    There are no celebrities in the new Comedy Central #ShouldWeVote public service announcement. That’s right. No Academy Award-winning actor or Disney pop star is in this video to tell you to vote—no Emma Stone, no Barbra Streisand, no Bruno Mars. The absence of famous people telling you what to do leaves the everyday American lost and confused asking themselves, “Should I vote?” Comedy Central’s contribution to the Rock The Vote

    Halloween is coming back to South Park as the series will premiere The Scoots—its eighth Halloween episode in 22 seasons. The new episode will deal, it seems, with the economics of trick-or-treating in a Purge-esque South Park. “This year, a revolution in mobility is changing Halloween for everyone,” said the Comedy Central website. “Chaos erupts, as every kid is out to get more candy than they have ever gotten before.

    Watch a preview: Aparna Nancherla’s Half-Hour Comedy Central special premieres tonight!

    Dylan P. Gadino 0 Comments , , ,

    Aparna Nancherla is one of very few comedians who can combine an absurdist aesthetic with a relatable set of premises to excellent effect. She is, in my opinion, one of the best joke writers of our time. And because of this, I’ve often thought it would be swell if someone would develop an app that would automatically re-tweet certain accounts as soon as they post. It would save me a few

    “I’d like to welcome everyone to the Ann Coulter roast with Rob Lowe,” conservative pundit Ann Coulter deadpanned in her opening remarks at the Comedy Central Roast of Rob Lowe Saturday.
