This was probably the best bit from Louis C.K.’s hosting gig on SNL this weekend. Actually, all the bits with C.K. were funny.

Neetzan Zimmerman says it best: “That dream you had where a black-turtlenecked Tom Hanks stands alone on a stage and recites a spoken-word poem about the classic TGIF sitcom Full House? Well, wake the fuck up because your dream just came true.” Holy. Shitballs. I didn’t know I needed this, but I’m so glad this [...]
1. The Black Keys teamed up with RZA to record “The Baddest Man Alive” as the theme song to RZA’s directorial debut, The Man With The Iron Fist. The grindhouse-style video is above. Look, anytime you get RZA pimp-slapping Dan Auerbach with a fish across the face how can you go wrong? 2. RZA brought [...]
Sage life advice from Pawnee, Indiana’s inestimable director of the Parks and Recreation department, Ron Swanson, on the possible bacon shortage that could end up terrorizing the world. [via highdef]

I hadn’t heard that AMC had a new sitcom in the works, until watching this fairly funny viral ad for Small Town Security. Interestingly enough, I tried writing a sitcom about bored hotel security guards that never went anywhere, but the premise was similar to AMC’s mockumentary sitcom. Which is to say, I’m pretty intrigued to see [...]
