Now that hulu is finally open to the public, and they surprisingly have a large selection of SNL skits to watch, I can start linking to some of my favorite all-time skits.

I give you Census Taker.

Christopher Walken rules.

Update: I forgot to include the embedded video the first time.

If you’re not familiar with a t.v. show called Aqua Teen Hunger Force, you should be; it’s hilarious. One of my favorite characters is Carl, the neighbor. Here’s a video of his take on the College Football BCS and the New York Giants football team. Thanks Chad for the pointer.

Boston Legal

One of my favorite t.v. shows is Boston Legal. If you know me well(the few people who read this blog do) and you’re familiar with the show, this may surprise you. I’m not particularly interested in legal cases, or the law in general for that matter, and most of the angles the show takes I certainly don’t agree with. What I do like, however, are the writers and the actors.

I’d have to say Boston Legal is the most well written show on television. Of course I’m basing this on the small number of shows I watch on a somewhat regular basis, but I still think it’s true. More specifically, both the content and delivery from James Spader and William Shatner(Alan Shore and Denny Crane on the show, respectively) are just brilliant.

My favorite part of each show is at the end. Usually, Spader and Shatner, who are both lawyers for the big-time firm Crane, Poole and Schmidt, will rendezvous at the end of a long work day for a drink and a cigar on the balcony. They’ll generally chit-chat about the day’s happenings, but usually tie in some real-life issues into the conversation. Here’s a clip of one such recent interaction. I think it’d be fun to see a compilation of all the end-of-show meetings between Spader and Shatner.
