  Recently I alerted readers to the looming Robocalypse - that time in the not-so-distant future when our metallic minions will rise up and crush us with their gnash-y teeth and bendable arms. But perhaps I spoke too soon. This guy seems helpful: So, the jury's still out. Any other information on our robot enemies and/or friends is greatly

  Superhumanly busy duo Julie Klausner and Jackie Clarke are making the funny with their Channel 102 show: Welcome To Our House. The show is...hard to describe, and harder to wipe from one's brain after having seen it. But ah, those two! Julie and Jackie write for the Big Gay Sketch Show. Julie and Jackie host their own live act, Obsessed,

  Writer George Saunders appeared on The Colbert Report a couple nights ago. Though Saunders is an incredibly astute and funny observer of the way media and The Media shape our lives, it wasn't clear from the interview whether he actually knew what The Colbert Report is about: It's hard to tell if he's smiling behind his Civil War soldier beard;

• Further Scott Adsit Appreciation Time

  Speaking of 30 Rock-er Scott Adsit, as we did yesterday, here is some more: a wee interview with him and lady-panion, Halfway Home's Jessica Makinson, at the Roast of Flavor Flav for this very website. You have to wait a minute, but it's worth it if you want to see him, uh, talk. And do a Brigitte Nielsen impersonation. Related: 30 Rock Interview

  First there was Golden Age, and now please welcome Stinky Marmalade, the mouse/cat/animated thing that is ball-less. We know the guy who made this animated piece, and he's pretty nice. Well, so-so nice. Or at least tolerable. Anyway, retro-cartooning is pretty awesome, let's all agree.

  Sarah Silverman Program castmember and Renaissance Man (and by "Renaissance" we mean "sexually aberrant") Steve Agee tries his hand at a meaty role: Axl Rose in a sex tape. Note the words "hand" and "meat." Welcome to the Jungle, indeed. Oh, and make sure you wear a bib for the vomit that will surely follow.

  Published: October 25, 2007, 1:49 pm

  Tags: Ed Helms, Nick Poppy, Video

  Daily Show alum and Office star Ed Helms makes an appearance on Funny or Die sister site Shred or Die, and gets to live out a 13 year-old fantasy. Now, Shred or Die's content seems to consist mostly of Tony Hawk video clips and half-pipe-related humor, and there's nothing wrong with that. But so help us, if Tony Hawk starts doing standup... <a

  Published: November 5, 2007, 3:40 pm

  Tags: Nick Poppy, Video

  The best street/prank comedy duo ever, San Francisco's Coyle & Sharpe, haven't worked together for years. And a reunion is unlikely, since James Coyle died in 1993. But! Snippets of a pilot they made back in the sixties are showing up on Funny or Die, and by gosh if they don't hold up pretty well. And that's saying something, because comedy is

• Reno 911 Protects WGA Picketers

  Via Defamer: It appears that Jim Dangle and Travis Junior of the Reno Sheriff's Department are part of some kind of special WGA strike-protection detachment. Or, in real life terms, Thomas Lennon and Ben Garant were having a slow day and decided to amuse the picketers outside Sunset Gower studios. Either way, it's kind of adorable. Related: Tina
