UCB Comedy trailers

Not a lot of people get over to the Upright Citizens Brigade video site ucbcomedy.com, but there's some good stuff over there. Here are three mock trailers I like. I edited the second, which my UCB Beta team, Pantsuit, produced.

Insane Clown Posse vs. Carl Sagan

I love that this video:

Was trying to say this:

It's high time for an Insane Clown Posse edition of "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" Seriously:

Stop and look around, it's all astounding
Water, fire, air and dirt
Fucking magnets, how do they work?
And I don't wanna talk to a scientist
Y'all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed

...to say nothing of rhyming "Mars" with "stars". A+ ICP!!!!!!!!!

Teh rapture is comming!!!!1

I can't get over this article about a guy promising that the rapture is finally at hand come May 21, 2011. Oh, did you think it was 2012, according to misinterpretations of Mayan lore?

Harold Camping lets out a hearty chuckle when he considers the people who believe the world will end in 2012. "That date has not one stitch of biblical authority," Camping says.

Ahahaha, so funny, the people who believe it will be in 2012. Especially considering that "On Sept. 6, 1994, dozens of Camping's believers gathered inside Alameda's Veterans Memorial Building to await the return of Christ, an event Camping had promised for two years."

Ahahaha, so funny, the people who believed it would be in 1994. But Camping allowed that he "may" have made a mistake. So this time around, he's got a foolproof method to make sure that his calculations are correct:

Christ hung on the cross April 1, 33 A.D.," he began. "Now go to April 1 of 2011 A.D., and that's 1,978 years."

Camping then multiplied 1,978 by 365.2422 days - the number of days in each solar year, not to be confused with a calendar year.

Next, Camping noted that April 1 to May 21 encompasses 51 days. Add 51 to the sum of previous multiplication total, and it equals 722,500.

Camping realized that (5 x 10 x 17) x (5 x 10 x 17) = 722,500.

Or put into words: (Atonement x Completeness x Heaven), squared.

One word: Phew. I like my science airtight, and this guy's got airtight down to a science. As President Bush said, "Fool me twice... we can't get fooled again!"
