Takin' a Road Trip for a laugh break

I need a laugh break before getting back to the dozens of topics in the political world I want to write about tonight.

Before 40-Year Old Virgin, Road Trip was my favorite comedy. This is one of my favorite scenes from the movie - when Tom Green is trying to feed Mitch, his friend's python. This reminds me of college, when I always wanted to feed my friend Tim's python. I was always obsessed with seeing it happen, but I never put a mouse in my mouth.

If you haven't seen Road Trip, it's tough to appreciate this clip. If you haven't seen it, and you like the Will Ferrell-caliber movies, run to the video store and rent the movie - it's hilarious.

Ferrell gets his Mantlers, from... Pee-wee?!?

This is vintage Will Ferrell, one of the funniest comedians on the Big Screen today, as he receives his Mantlers during the Spike TV Guys Choice Awards.

And I sincerely hope I'm not the only one disturbed at the site of Pee-wee Herman. I can still remember Paul Reubens' mug shot after public indecency in a Florida movie theater. Creepy. Dude, keep that stuff to yourself in the privacy of your own home.

So, seeing Pee-wee in full outfit was a buzzkill. But, funny, too.

A must-see movie... Fer rell!

I'm in a lighter mood this morning, so before I get back to my usual rants, I wanted to post the trailer of Will Ferrell's movie, Blades of Glory.

When I spend five minutes laughing at the trailer, the movie's a must-see. I love Will Ferrell - he's the biggest movie star in comedies today. Blades opened on Friday - we're going to see it this week.

Since I'm in the Will Ferrell mood, here is THE most famous Ferrell sketch during his tenure on Saturday Night Live. Enjoy...



I gotta have more cow bell, baby!

Any sketch that combines the great music of Blue Öyster Cult, the comedy of Will Ferrell and an appearance by Christopher Walken is definitely one for the ages.
