'Ex-Men': Cyclops - A Short Film by Pete Holmes
Pete Holmes is a crazy comedian with a show on TBS and has a pretty funny Youtube channel with a bunch of funny skits and crazy stuff filling its table of contents. But one of the funniest things I saw while I was over there had to be 'Ex-Men', a skit that portrays Professor X of the X-Men in the role of a CEO and Cyclops in the role of a about to be downsized employee. Everything is a business, even a team of mutant super heroes! The idea behind this is kind of genius, the name of the skit is brilliant, and the actors look and sound exactly what I would like to imagine Professor X & Cyclops to be. Check out the full skit after the jump...

Batman... Or Badman????
College Humor really brings the heat with there short films and skits, and this is especially true with their Nolan Batman skits. They really hit home to the grunting, scowling Batman from the Nolan films (played masterfully once again by Pete Holmes), albeit a little more pea brained than the World's Greatest Detective (his moniker in the comics). Case in point: The Penguin (played by the always wonderful Patton Oswald!) tries to explain to him that he can't employ extreme violence on his enemies without doing some major damage... like death! But the Dark Knight just doesn't seem to get it... hilarity ensues and this is one of the best ones yet! Enjoy the video after the jump...

For all of you Sci-Fi geeks who are also major league sports fans (there area few of us out there... double threats!!!) here is a very funny video from the comedy group Satire that uses the characters and events of Star Wars to explain how the NCAA March Madness Tournament actually plays out. But the best scene has to be the last 30 seconds... it is every guys dream! Watch the video after the jump...

"So I Walked Into The Star Wars Bar & Richard Pryor Was Working"... Wait, What?
Richard Pryor was one of the greatest comics of his generation. Hell, he is one of the greatest comedians of all time. But his filthy mouth and uncompromising attitude towards his material often cost him career opportunities that might have made him even more famous then he ever became. Take the Richard Pryor Show as am example. He signed a contract back in 1977 to make a 10 episode 1st season, but the show only filmed four episodes due to conflicts between Pryor and the network over content. One of the skits that made it through is a completly hysterical ad-libbed clip that features Pryor as the bartender at the Star Wars Bar. The bar is frequented by the usual suspects of the Star Wars movies, and there is a good reason for that. They actual got to use certain costumes and masks from the movie itself. God I love me some Pryor. Enjoy the clip...
