Myq Kaplan

Myq Kaplan on Last Comic Standing

/ Shane / Leave a comment

One of my favorite comedians Myq Kaplan is currently a finalist on Last Comic Standing.

If you’re a careful reader of the blog, you will remember him from my “Dr. Show Show” post about a month ago. However, you may not remember that I actually broke the Myq Kaplan story more than a year ago.

Anyway, he’s cracked the top 10 and now they’re into the part of the show where the audience can vote. So, if you’re into that kind of thing, I think you should go with Myq (despite that first name!) I don’t want him to get so depressed that I have to page Dr. Dontkillyourself.

Mondays @ 8 Central.

What I’ve been annoying Sara with lately

Okay, there is a song by comedians Myq Kaplan and Micah Sherman which I just can’t get out of my head. (Side note, yes his name is “Mike” spelled “Myq”)

Not to over explain the joke, but basically the idea is, sometimes you have something you don’t really want to do. So, in order to convince yourself to do it, you sing a little song of encouragement.

So, for example, if you have to take a shower and you don’t really want to, you might sing something like, “It’s time for Dr. Show Show to take a showey-show! It’s time for Dr. Show Show to take a showey-show!”

Well, it probably makes more sense if you listen to it:

(Sorry about the low audio, that’s right off of Myq’s website, not my fault!)

Ah HA! Now you’re hooked too! You also will be breaking into these little songs throughout the day. Make sure you do it around Sara, because it drives her CRAZY!

Godzillionaire

/ Shane / 2 Comments

There is a humorous blog I read by the annoyingly named comedian Myq Kaplan (that’s right, his name is Mike spelled Myq) called Godzillionaire. It is kind of hard to explain what this blog is. It’s like a play on words where you combine two words together and then explain why that’s funny. See, there’s just no way to describe it that sounds funny, so I will give you some examples:

Sudan.
Danza.
Sudanza.

One of the worst things in history, PLUS genocide in Darfur.

Please help stop these atrocities.

or

Know.
Nothing.
Knowthing.

Socrates and Confucius both claimed that true knowledge was in knowing the extent of one’s ignorance.

So if they DIDN’T know that, then they would have been even wiser.

Socrates.
Confucius.
So Confused.

I’ll give you another one:

Adultery.
Terrycloth.
Adulterrycloth.

Using a towel that isn’t yours.

Philander.
Drying.
Philandrying.

Well I don’t care what you say, I think it’s funny.
