Collectors&#8217; Choice Music has just released eight out-of-print novelty albums (encompassing the years 1962-1967) by the singular Allan Sherman. Given that the novelty album is an art form now seemingly owned by Weird Al Yankovic, one could be forgiven for not understanding the lineage from whence Weird Al sprang.

I hate most commercials. Probably 99 percent of them! I especially hate commercials with those goddamned whining wuss-bags playing an acoustic guitar, or a whispery girl with a ukulele. Fuck that bullshit!

Evil Mad Scientists are not to be confused with their more benevolent counterparts, like Emmett Brown of Back to the Future. While the Evil Mad Scientist can be a figure [...]]]></description>

One of Andy Richter&#8217;s strengths as a comedic actor is something he was just born with: his cherubic face. What the majority of his performances exhibited—in his other (sadly) failed television shows and various film roles—was a wholesome, dimpled mug offset against a usually sardonic soul or secret freak-of-nature. It&#8217;s an old show [...]]]></description>

Bopping along through the 1990s, I found myself immersed in a rather enjoyable childhood. I was growing in all the same ways my elementary-aged kid peers were, while also straddling the fence between juvenile pleasures and my desire to feel more grown-up. This divide applied almost everywhere in my life, from musical tastes [...]]]></description>

Most of Ireland&#8217;s cultural presence in Western countries is undeniably depressing. Even such light-hearted fare as Breakfast on Pluto features repression of sexuality by the church, the IRA, terrorism, and attacks on women for having children out of wedlock.

Despite Irish pub propaganda and comedian Dara Ó Briain, when they&#8217;re not fighting for freedom, terrorizing [...]]]></description>

Perhaps the oddest thing about comedian and writer/director Chris Morris&#8217;s lack of popularity outside of the UK is that he&#8217;s peripherally involved in things that ended up being quite huge in the States.

For example, his TV show The Day Today is often cited as being one of the influences on The Daily Show. [...]]]></description>
