World News is Funny?

If Wait wait don't tell me can find funny stuff in the news so can we! Today I ran across two stories with funny angles on BBC News.

The first is about a woman who died while scuba diving(no that's not the funny part). While she was lying on the seabed another man on vacation just happened to be posing for a picture while a freaked out instructor swam to help the woman. How terrible would it be if you took a vacation picture and later realized a dead person was in it?

The second funny news article is about a Priest who published a sex guide for married couples. If you look closely at the caption of the picture you'll see this, "Critics question the competency of a celibate monk to write about sex". So will you take tips on spicing up your sex life from a virgin?

The Mighty Boosh

The Mighty Boosh is a British tv show featuring Vince Noir (Noel Fielding) and Howard Moon (Julien Barratt). Vince is a childish, sunshine, fashionable mod/punk/metro man and Howard is his best friend a hapless confused loser. The two share in ridiculous adventures that veer towards the musical in the third season. The first season is set in a Zoo, the second in an apartment, and the third in a shop (Nabootique). Click here for a link to the first episode. If you prefer not to watch it online the third season is currently being aired on Adult Swim.
p.s.- Noel's my current celebrity crush, although his chin is epic...

The english are coming!

These fine gentlemen are Hamish and Andy (don't know which is which). They have a radio show in Australia (yeah not quite British), but we can get it via podcast here. They do usual radio talk stuff, but so far I rarely stop laughing. They've covered such news as why does the space station need a gps. What would their global position be? Not on it? You can get them by searching on itunes or at their website(just chose a location, doesn't matter).



Something actual from England now. Friday Night Comedy from BBC4 is literally the funniest thing my ears have come in contact with in months. If you're going to give anything a chance from this website, please make it this. I promise they're more entertaining then the spice girls. Again you can find this podcast via itunes or here.

The IT Crowd

The IT Crowd is a british comedy from Graham Linehan. It's the office with less people: two extreme steriotypes of geeky people, a "normal" woman, and a usually absent goth man. Unlike the office the plots are more wild and the humour is less bizzare for the American sense of humour.

The first two seasons are already out and are currently being showed on IFC. If you don't have IFC you can flip over to youtube and find all the episodes. So far there are only 12 episodes total, but the third season is in the works and will hopefully be good even after the yearlong hiatus.

You might not love this show enough to make a cross stitch, but it will make you laugh.
