Louis CK plays poker.

A wonderful, fascinating, hilarious scene from episode two of Louie on F/X. Not even close to being safe for work. Featuring provocations from Jim Norton and Nick DiPaolo, charm from Eddie Brill and past TSOYA performer Hannibal Burress and patient insight from Rick Crom.

Janelle Monae on Letterman

You heard it here first, folks: Janelle Monae is the real deal. I've been bothering you about her for a couple years now, and it looks like she's got the right single and is gonna pop.

Potato Chip (and Stefon)

| 3 comments

I tend not to watch episodes of Saturday Night Live that aren't hosted by funny people, so if I hadn't read this list on Best Week Ever I might never have seen this sketch, called Potato Chip. Blake Lively is not especially funny, but oh man are Will Forte and Jason Sudeikis funny. I'm not going to say that this is the new Tales of Fraud and Malfeasance in Railroad Hiring Practices, but it's right up there with the crazy-ass wedding speech sketch with Hugh Laurie for greatest thing that's happened lately.

Also: Stefon. I literally have tears forming at the corner of my eyes, and I watched this alone at my computer at 4 in the afternoon.
