The worst comedy club names in the country (ranked)

Comedy Clubs have the worst names. That's no secret. But some of them are painfully, cringe inducing bad. And if there's one thing I love it's making my readers cringe...

10. Dr. Grins - Grand Rapids, MI

Man, medical school is tough. No wonder doctors make so much money. It's unfortunate for this dude that he got through medical school in one piece and everything but since his surname is Grins he didn't get very far. I mean, would you want to get a pap smear from "Dr. Grins"? I certainly wouldn't and I'm a dude! So I guess you have no choice but to open a comedy club at that point. Sux 2 B Him.

9. Comedy Dawgs - Halifax

Anything with a W in it that doesn't need to be there is bad. Examples: "I Wuv You!", the White House.

8. Mixed Nuts - Los Angeles

I like my comedy clubs and genital euphemisms separate, thanks very much.

7. The Riot Act - Washington D.C.

Haha. Oh, man. I get it. Cause it's like a laugh riot but also it's like another thing that means something else. Hahaha. Oh, lord.

6. The Funny Farm - Atlanta

Sigh.

5. Snickerz - Ft. Wayne, IN

To borrow something from the world of Snicker Bar advertising...this one is just plain "chewpid".

4. Magooby's Joke House - Baltimore

If you're name is Magooby you have about 3 options. 1 is to change your name to something less goofy like Smith, 2 is to embrace it and become a clown and perform at kids parties and 3 is to take the middle of the road path and be kinda sorta wacky and open a comedy club with money your bitter and racist Grandfather left you in his will. Joke's on you, Grandpa.

3. The Brew Ha Ha - Rapid City, SD

Oh, man. This place is great. Cause right away you know you are going to get a couple of things once inside. You are probably going to get a beer of some sort and also probably at least a couple of laughs. Fuck that obscure shit. Tell it like it is.

2. Laugh Inn - Ft. Meyers, Florida

Get it?

1. Rooster T. Feathers - Sunnyvale, CA

This one just boggles my mind. What's funny about chickens? What does the T stand for? Do they serve chicken? Do chickens perform? EXPLAIN YOURSELF, MR. FEATHERS!

The Oscars Are Retarded

So the Oscar nominations were announced this morning. A million of film nerd blogs have about a million different things to say about them so I'll try to keep this brief. First of all, I don't even know why I bother even mildly caring about what the Academy has to say. I mean, have they ever once done anything I agree with? Ok, last year was a decent year. "No Country For Old Men" was deserving of Best Picture. And maybe that's where I went wrong. It's like dating a girl who you don't really like all that much and is kind of dull and boring but every once in a great while says something pretty cool and funny and you are like "ok, well...I guess this isn't THAT bad".

I'm not going to get on my soapbox and complain about Dark Knight or Wall-E getting snubbed because the fact of the matter is...those movies were good, not great. But, seriously, The Reader? Here is definitive proof the Academy will vote for any old, boring, frumpy hag as long as she's tarted up in a Holocaust pantsuit. I'm not talking about Kate Winslet. It's a metaphor, duh.

I don't know. What's the point of getting all worked up about it when the fact of the matter is that the Oscars don't really mean anything?
