Christopher Titus has a new comedy special called "Neverlution".
If you don't laugh at the events of the last decade, you will cry. This weekend on Comedy Central, comedian Christopher Titus (who barely makes it into Gen X, born in 1964) hilariously vents about the huge buzz-kill known as the 21st century. Let's face it, this century's first decade was not a great one for our country. And, as Titus points out, this is the first true hardship our generation has ever faced. Those of us in Gen X who grew up partying like it was 1999, got a rude awakening starting in December of 2000. From George W. Bush being "elected" president to the current recession...and everything in between...Titus brings a witty, observational viewpoint to many of the problems we have faced in the past 10 years. He also brings forward his ideas for how to fix things...and it doesn't involve giving trophies to losers.
Set your DVR. I am sure Comedy Central will be replaying it at some point. Who doesn't need a 90 minute laugh?

Grecian Burn-Thank You Daily Show
When you live in a world where comedy is truth and truth is comedy...you know we are screwed. This is probably one of the best stories ever done on the Daily Show.

It's Been 10 years...but I still Gotta Have More Cowbell!
I can't believe that it has been 10 years since Will Ferrell & Christopher Walken gave us one of the most memorable sketches in Saturday Night Live history. I love how Jimmy Fallon just can't keep it together.
More Cowbell! - watch more funny videos

Ben Bernanke-Every Breath You Take
It's videos like this that make me love my generation. This is from students at Columbia Business School. I believe they made it around the time Ben Bernanke became FED Chairman...so circa 2006. It's great in a variety of ways...it includes a Police song parody, it intelligently makes fun of the FED & Ben Bernanke, and they obviously knew things were getting bad way before the rest of the world.

Barney's Favorite Things
Tonight, on How I Met Your Mother, Neil Patrick Harris (AKA Barney Stinson) did his best Oprah impression. This clip is an example of the show at it's finest. One of the best on TV.
This is SportsCenter: 30 years of Great Moments and Awesome Commercials
ESPN is turning 30 this year. I can honestly remember the day we got the cable box on our TV for Christmas in 1983. My parents told their sports obsessed daughter about the "all sports" channel. I was the happiest little girl in the world. Of course, back then it was mostly Bowling, World's Strongest Man competitions, and the occasional NBA game. How things have changed.
Over the past year, ESPN has been celebrating their 30th anniversary with a series of films called 30 for 30. Each of these films focused on different sports "events" that have happened in the past 30 years-from the SMU football program death sentence to the Wayne Gretzky LA Kings trade. It has been a fascinating and sobering look at the world of sports. If you haven't seen these films, look for them to air on ESPN, ESPN2, or ESPN Classic over the next few weeks.
While these documentaries took a serious look at the world of sports, ESPN has also been famous for their fantastic SportsCenter commercials that have aired over the years. I found some of my favorites, and a compilation of various spots that have aired throughout the years.
