Is Dave Chappelle Filming a New Comedy Special In 2017?
Out of all the comedians to announce a comedy tour this year, it was quite a surprise to hear Dave Chappelle is preparing to go on tour once again.

Dave Chappelle Revives Chappelle's Show in SNL Spoof of the Walking Dead
Last weekend's airing of #SaturdayNightLive is probably going to be one of the most talked about episodes of the year.

What's the Best Movie or TV Parody of the year So Far?
Originally, parodies were solely meant to mock poor examples of entertainment, not good shows and movies. However, between Saturday Night Live, Funny or Die and original YouTube sketches, fans can now laugh at films and television series that carry a very serious tone. We're all watching some pretty somber entertainment, and we all love sharing funny clips with our friends, so parodies can gain massive notoriety in a very small span of time.

This past weekend I was finally able to sit down and watch 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.', and I have to say I couldn't have been happier with my movie selection.

In 1937, Walt Disney pioneered a path for animation to join the ever-growing collection of feature films to showcase in cinemas across the world. Since then there have been critical and commercial successes as well as those that have fallen flat and failed to meet expectations. Animation studios have come and gone, but if we limit our frame of reference to just the last 15 years we've seen some great films come from the titan studios like:

Matthew BaileyPublished 6 years ago in Geeks'The Big Bang Theory' Vs. 'The IT Crowd': Which Nerd Sitcom Is Better?
Here in the US, people are now embracing nerd culture all thanks to shows like The Big Bang Theory. In the UK, one can argue The IT Crowd (starring Chris O'Dowd and Richard Ayoade) did the same for them. Both comedy series have nerds and geeks at center stage, and both have become immensely popular. The It Crowd has even reached a loyal following in the US. The question is: Which geeky show is better? This can be analyzed by looking at the plots, characters, and humor of both shows.
Sarah LoydPublished 6 years ago in GeeksY'all Got Anymore of Them Netflix Shows? Dave Chappelle Has Two New Comedy Specials
Chappelle has two comedy specials coming to #Netflix.

I think everyone will agree that two is always better than one (unless it's a heart attack).
