Is Superbad the funniest movie to ever grace the big screen?

amandabryant — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 15:22:43 +0000

When we think of comedy movies and the actors that make a script come to life, names like Jim Carrey, Eddie Murphy, Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson come to mind.
*There are many actors I’m not naming, just putting the ones that came to mind first.

However, after seeing Superbad for the trillionth time I’ve come up with the conclusion that some McLovin, a horny fat kid and a shy romantic could be the funniest movie these eyes have seen.

Movies like Dumb and Dumber, Wedding Crashers and Kazaam (Just Kidding) came close but couldn’t surpass the bar three white kids and some rebel cops placed in my comedy book.

What r ur two cents?

Def Jam Comedy Vets Bruce Bruce and Martin Lawrence Throw Punches – Who Do You Think Should Win?

amandabryant — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 12:58:41 +0000

I’ve seen both of them, live!

Hysterical, overwhelming comedy is the only way to describe their comedic genius.

I’ve also seen a lot of DVD’s and, again, couldn’t stop laughing.

Right now, Martin Lawrence is known more for his movie and television roles, while, large man, Bruce Bruce keeps to what he does best and stays with the stand-up.

However, ladies and gents. This is one even my friends and I couldn’t come up in one of our weekly meetings.

Becoming a regular on this blog I want your opinion. Who’s better? Who stands out more? More importantly who wants you wanting more!!!??

Let me know girls and guys, good bless!

Barack Obama: Trash Talking Basketball Player?

amandabryant — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 15:17:53 +0000

According to sources Barack Obama will build a basketball court in the White House during in four-year run as president – just playing, have no clue!

What I do know is the guy can ball. Well so they say! Who wants to get caught on the record saying the next president is worse than a fat school girl with knee problems!

But, I’ve heard rumors that while he plays he’s trash talking. Calling out there game and daring them to shoot over him or drive right past him. Do you guys think this is true? I thought it was funny. The guy looks so peaceful, can’t imagine Barack calling out ‘yo momma’ while you shoot.

Well, if he does I don’t care. I glad he’s our president and wish him nothing but the best!

Take care ya’ll!

Stand-Up Vets Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Cosby Go At It – Which Do You Prefer?

amandabryant — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 16:14:52 +0000

Yet again, my friends and I got together to discuss topics, mainly comedy and sports. But this week after watching a Seinfeld rerun and then a Bill Cosby stand-up act we got into who was better.

Both have been in the buisness of making people laugh all there life. One is known as an observational comedian. The other for personally calling Eddie Muphy to explain how wrong the explicitness of his comedy acts were on the public (kids), and for being one of the best in the game!

The Cosby show is considered to be one of the most influential American television shows ever. While Seinfeld holds the number 1 spot.

These two stand-up, television dinosaurs (hahaha) are all but instilled in our minds.

However, who do you think is better?

Sarah Palin Appears on SNL

It has been a while since I’ve actually sat down and watched SNL. But with Sarah Palin making a guest appearance and Tina Fey doing her brilliant impersonation… I just couldn’t miss it.

My whole family took time off to sit down and watch the show. And being none of us are republicans… the laughs were just much louder!

Mark Wahlberg’s appearance was too funny as well!

If you missed it… here are the links! Check them out

Stand-Up Juggernauts Chris Rock and Richard Pryor – Who’s Better?

amandabryant — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 15:48:32 +0000

I feel no need to write about the awards and world wide recognition of both Chris Rock and Richard Pryor. There are arguably the best stand-up comedians of all time. Their names alone should be enough!

However, I had a heated discussion with a couple of my friends on who was the best out of the two stand-up kings.

I passionately pinpointed Chris Rock to be the best! My friends said Richard Pryor.

But I want your two-cents on the matter… soooo, tell me?

Pablo Fransisco: Chilean-American Showing His Worth in the Comedy Scene

amandabryant — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 20:27:10 +0000

Numerous comedy acts…and plenty of comedy cats…

Pablo Fransisco, Arizona native is the impressionist of the moment in the comedy world!

Plus, a little of Pablo F. during this economic crisis will most def help!

He hasn’t come out with a lot since appearing on Leno, but he’s quickly rising to the top in my list!

Here’s a video so you can check him out:

(Very Funny)

Ever since I was young I’ve been watching stand-up and movies. Mostly Dave Chapelle and Eddie Murphy – the top of my list!

My mom passed down these hobbies and I plan to do the same with mine.

I also love to watch SNL skits, Bill Cosby, The Batman series, Rudy and Pablo Fransisco.

Through this blog I’ll display all the videos that have brought me joy, and at times, wet pants!

lol

Stayed Tuned!
