Powerthirst!

Another sketch, this from a comedy outfit out of halifax called picnicface.


Angry Boss

This is a relatively old sketch from saturday night live with Will Ferrell. I have probably watched it seven times and it still makes me laugh. Keep an eye on Peirce Brosnan as the nerdy applicant, trying not to laugh and failing. I don't know why I find horrific cruelty so very funny.

this is brilliant!



"102 year-old
Chinese woman
who had lived her entire life
in the same mud house,
which stood behind the Beijing Hotel.

She spoke of
living through the
rule of China's last Emperor,
the Boxer Rebellion,
two World Wars
and the Communist Party's
rise to power.

She was afraid her home
was going to be torn down
because the hotel
was expanding."
