Supershow Goes Negative: Take Two!!!

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

Does Joe Biden really have what it takes to be President? Find out, in our latest “contrast ad”.

There will be no Supershow this week in observance of American Thanksgiving (Supershow Canada will go on as scheduled). You can buy tickets for the December 4th show here.

Ringo Starr says “No new fanmail!” Public responds by not sending fanmail retroactively for the past 30 years.

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

This story had me tickled pink today, documenting the “sometimes angry sounding short video clip” Ringo Starr posted on his website letting people know he would no longer be reading fan mail. Now, I’ve been a fan of Ringo Starr’s since his compelling role in the movie “Cavemen”, but I’ve got to imagine John Lennon receives more fan mail than him.

I’m a huge fan of celebrities inventing personal crises so they can send out a press release discussing their recent triumph over said struggle, such as US Weekly’s expose on Hillary Duff’s weight loss.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who stopped during the long void of Hillary Duff related news and wondered if maybe her absence from all media indicated a sudden gain in weight.

I’m just glad to hear Ringo’s still thin AND that he decided against making his announcement in a bikini.

Not so sure about Darwin…

Last night I came home to find two possums eating garbage on my back porch. Here’s a picture of the offenders (one of them is partially concealed in the upper right hand corner):

Anyone who leaves garbage unattended at night can expect some animal is going to come and eat it. What bothered me was the possum stayed there long enough for me to snap a picture with my phone. This was after banging on my door and turning my porch light on and off to scare it.

Here’s another picture I took while it was busy not leaving after my noise making and light flicking:

Here’s a picture of it going back to eating a napkin after I stopped banging on the door:

I’m having a difficult time believing there’s a process that stretches over millions of years where only the animals most fit to survive live to pass on their genes when said process produces an animal unresponsive to signs of a potential predator whose second line of defense is playing dead.

It’s just lucky the same hypothetical million year process instilled in me a fear of walking from behind a screen door to scare off a much smaller, stupider animal than I.

Point, Palin.

Supershow goes on the offense!!!

Given the regrettable decision made by both the McCain and Obama campaigns to hold last week’s Vice Presidential Debate on the opening night of Supershow, both Andy and I have decided to go negative.

Check out the video below for the first in a series of attack ads we’ll be running:

Audience Profile: Josh

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

While some folks were nerding out to the debate, a select few were at the premiere of Supershow! One such few was Josh, the subject of tonight’s Audience Profile.

SUPERSHOW: What brought you here?

JOSH: I used to work for a company nearby, and my wife and I used to come here all the time before there was a comedy club.

SUPERSHOW: How do you like it now that there’s a comedy club here?

JOSH: I like being a heckler.

SUPERSHOW: How much did Steve have to coerce you to get down here?

JOSH: Is he the little Jewish guy?

SUPERSHOW: Yes.

JOSH: Not at all. I’d follow him anywhere. ANYWHERE!

SUPERSHOW: Would you follow him into the mouth of the bear?

JOSH: Only if the bear’s Jewish.

It should be noted that after the interview, Josh confirmed he was of the Jewish faith and ridiculed all Gentiles for residing in the year 2008 while his people recently made the transition to the year 5769. Josh says hello from the future, where apparently they have yet to develop a cure for drinking too much and shooting your mouth off at a comedy club.

Next week’s Supershow features “Killah” Ken Reid, “Thrillah” Nate Johnson, JJ “2.21 Jigawatts” Leslie, Tom E “as in Tom ‘E’ Morello” Morello, and Billy Bob Neck!

Keep your liberal bias away from my animal crackers!

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

Dear Whoever Makes Animal Crackers (I believe it’s “Mr. Nabisco” or something to that effect),

First off, let me say I’m a big fan of your cookies. I like to eat them on the way home from work, as the crunching sound drowns out the noise of my children.

Your cookies provide a bland, crunchy oasis from the struggles of modern parenthood.

While I appreciate what your company does in this regard, I feel a need to call you to task on the obvious leftist slant shown in the donkey to elephant ratio in your average lot (please see the sample photo posted above). At first I thought it must just be a coincidence, but after no less than 6 boxes a pattern emerged - it was clear donkeys outnumbered elephants 3 to 1 per suggested serving size.

What I find even more suspicious is why would a snack supposedly taking the shape of various circus animals include a donkey? What circus has a donkey in it? Sure, there’s that one in Tijuana my neighbor always tells me about, but I’ve got no interest in “shows” of that sort.

This is an election year Mr. Nabisco, and people are looking for their snacks to provide balanced coverage of the issues - not the liberal agenda of the coastal elites. For guidance, I would suggest you consult Lucky Charms - a tasty cereal that has provided a rainbow bridge between the orange moons, the green clovers, and the purple horseshoes.

It would behoove you to follow their example of inclusion and non-partisanship.

So, until I get that soundproof Plexiglas installed behind my seat, I’ll continue to eat your “crackers”, but I’ll take each bite with a grain of salt.

Also - what the hell is this?

Dan
