Funny Boys of The Internets®

Chris LeavinsWho doesn't love to laugh? Here are five guys who make me smile and LOL on a daily basis.

Recently on his show Cute with Chris, Chris Leavins said among his viewers are thirty-two gay bears. I'd like to think I am responsible for that number.

On February 3, I sent an email to Homer saying, "Watch this." Homer replied, "I'm going to have his baby."

On Tuesday, February 6, Homer posted about the Cute with Chris show and if there is anything we all know about Homer it is this: he is the Oprah of gay bears. He speaks. They listen.

So Chris Leavins, you are welcome for this unique segment of your growing fan-base.

Call me.

Adam RobertsIn February of 2004, Adam Roberts, The Amateur Gourmet, became wildly popular after only blogging for a month and he did it by simply baking cupcakes. Not just any cupcakes, but Janet Jackson breast cupcakes. Soon Adam was getting tons of traffic and being profiled in the media (CNN and The New Yorker to name two.) but he wasn't resting on the laurels of his boob baking. He was blogging about his experiences at restaurants and adventures in cooking, and doing so with a hilarious sense of humor. (One of my personal faves is his Condoleezza Rice Pudding with Berries of Mass Destruction.) AND he did all this in the beginning while attending law school, which prompted this email exchange.

Years later, Adam is still at it and now making a career of writing about food for sites like Serious Eats and Salon. Later this year, his first book is being released.

But what he's missing is a gay bear fan-base. I'll have to speak to Homer about this.

The Guys of Best Night Ever

For a few months, I've been watching VH1's Best Night Ever podcast. In around three minutes they manage to skewer the previous nights tops shows with genius jabs. My three favorite podcasters are fresh-faced and fantastic Brian Faas, sly and clever Michael Cyril Creighton, Alex Blagg who brings cynicism and sarcasm to a level of art.

They are The Shit®. (Three recent clips are after the jump.)

As long as bearded duo Alex and MCC are around, I'm not too worried about their gay bear fan-base.

Call me.

I like MCC best. Only because he chose to be either Natalie or Jerry Jewel from the facts of life.

How classic!

P.S. how can I get a job doing this???
