Below: The conversation that resulted from it.

Owen: The trick is that there’s no way to win the penalty games

Owen: That’s the hook

We made this thank you video for our wedding (see my vimeo here)

Just found this on Vimeo. I’ve known Jamie and Irene since my freshman year of college, when they started dating. They just got married this summer. If you know a more adorable/perfect couple, you’re lying.

Also featuring: Jon Stewart, ’90s victim.

These stills are from Carlin’s Mark Twain Prize, a PBS awards show EP’d by my old boss, the infamous Mr. Mark Krantz.

George Carlin?

You can either date this picture as “on the Jimmy Durante Show in 1966” or “two years before he met his weed guy.”

Bizzaro Ben, also known as “Not-So-Implausible Ben”.

In any case, let it be known that the first suit I ever owned not only cost $40, it was for a Halloween costume.

Map Maker Death, a new shirt from BustedTees based on an idea I pitched.

I have a history of pitching famously low-selling shirts. Help me break the cycle!

Oh man, remember this jerk? The one that played ultimate frisbee, drank too much Coors Light, wore two undershirts with shorts, and sandals, and would spend five minutes trying to tuck in the front of his shirt but not the back? The one who got a haircut once every eight months and actually had something resembling a tan? The one who went to a major urban college but tried to live like he was at a state school? Man, that guy was hilarious.

For this interview with Nick Frost about his new film Pirate Radio, Focus Features was nice enough to fly me to England and pay for my ~~bar tab~~ meals and other absolutely necessary expenses. (Frost also talks about the upcoming Paul and the infamous “Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy.”)

It was the first time I’ve been abroad in six years, and I don’t really reccomend traveling any other way.

Dan finally calls out Link for being the lousy hero he is.

These writer/director commentaries are a part of an ad campaign for Doritos that our users have complained about to no end.

I’d be lying, though, if I said I didn’t have a little bit of fun doing it.
