Let's Get High And Go To The Van Gogh Museum

March 29, 2022

I know I’ve never done marijuana before, but I hear the weed is different here, stronger, fancier, more European.

Fall TV Preview!

September 6, 2019

America's Fuzziest Home Videos (Sundays, ABC) Home videos that seem to probably be hilarious, but that were filmed so out of focus that it's hard to tell. Adding just the right amount of wacky sound effects will probably help out quite a bit, we hope. You won't be offended at all, though, so take some degree of comfort in that.
