Some of us here are big fans of the Comedians of Comedy, a collection of various comedians (the core group consists of Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn, Maria Bamford, Eugene Mirman and Zach Galifianakis) who play small rock clubs and similar venues rather than the usual comedy clubs.
Patton Oswalt recently posted on the comedy site A Special Thing that a brand new DVD, The Comedians of Comedy: Live at the Troubadour, would be released on October 2. What's even cooler, or maybe just equally as cool, is that the entire concert will be shown on Comedy Central's Secret Stash, completely uncensored and uncut, on September 29.

Had I known that television shows were just going to premiere all their pilots online well before their air dates, I wouldn't have had to move all the way to Los Angeles for the insider privilege. But, we, the internet savvy, are being rewarded for our pop culture geekitude with such treats as HBO's online premiere of
Flight of the Conchords over a month before its broadcast on June 17th at 10:30PM. You can watch New Zealand's "fourth most popular folk parody duo" in their stateside series debut on the show's
MySpace site or, starting Monday, at
HBO.com.

The furriest member of the
Comedians of Comedy and
Dog Bites Man team
Zach Galifianakis is embarking on a fall tour.
If you've missed out on Galifianakis' more recent outings, you may remember him from the short-lived VH1 talk show
Late World with Zach.
If you haven't seen Galifianakis live, you're in for some of the most experimental stand-up to hit the stage since Andy Kaufman took Carnegie Hall out for milk and cookies.

You might think that fifteen years is too long to wait to make a sequel to
Backdraft, but that's only if you're Ron Howard. If you're alternative comics Eugene Mirman, Jon Benjamin, and
Sam Seder, you forge ahead and make a sequel anyway, despite not really knowing a whole lot about the original film.
It's called Backdraft II: Backdraftier, and I haven't seen anything this funny in quite some time.
Please, won't you share in my
joy? Mirman explains he wanted to make sequels to movies that didn't need a sequel. That makes absolutely no sense,
and that's why it's brilliant.
