Stumped! Three-Ton Elephant Amputee Receives Prosthetic Limb

New “Top Chef”! New Vegas Edition drops tomorrow night, so looking forward to it, I got the red wine and Cheez-Its all ready to be inhaled as I harshly judge their subpar amuse bouches. There are two female Philly “cheftestants” (their gay term, not mine), one with some seriously bad ink (a tattoo on your throat? a tad distracting), but she seems fun. The other chefy looks a bit nervous, cute, but a bit on edge. (Watch their videos). Based only on a quick glance at their photos and small bios on the web, I will pick Ashley Merriman as the winner. Call your bookie.

Hate hacky comics? Well here’s a delightful NSFW (repeat NSFW) fake documentary series profiling a popular stand-up comedian named “Raaaaaaaandy” played by the incredibly talented Aziz Ansari (Parks and Recreation, Human Giant).

Hands down, this easily the best portrayal ever of a horror-show, catchphrase-spewing, uber-lewd, hip hop comic. Aziz is so good at this — so effortless — I’m sure he could sell out a stadium in ten minutes with lunkheads, mooks and other E! network viewers who would take his character at face value and howl uncontrollably all night long at all the booty and bling jokes.  Put him on a bill with Carlos Mencia and Dane Cook and you’d put that Redneck comedy tour to shame.

This is a pretty genius viral marketing idea promoting the new Adam Sandler  film “Funny People”:  Watching Aziz being purposely unfunny is much more fun than groaning through Sandler being actually unfunny.
