Last year, I mentioned a site called RejectedJokes in which comedy writer Ben Schwartz performed all the jokes he wrote that were rejected by the likes of Letterman and SNL's Weekend Update (he's a freelancer for both).
Ben's latest gig is creating videos for the Web site Super Deluxe. Below is a video he made featuring Rob Riggle (The Daily Show) as the coach for the Washington Colonels, a basketball team that has lost 125 matches in a row. Could it be that Riggle's team is that bad, or is it because their rival, the Bronx World Travelers, always bring things like stools and mini trampolines onto the court?
The parody of the "rival" between the Washington Generals and the Harlem Globetrotters is funny, but what makes the video especially hilarious are the one-off gags, like the reporter who works for Awkward Silence magazine, and the final gag that caps off the whole short perfectly.

Rob Riggle is funny, but this video sucks.
