[EDIT] This video is making serious beefs with my format. The youtube version was cut for copyright and the one I tried to embed is making my format lose all common sense. Until I find another version, I refer you to the link.  I apologize for the inconvenience.

I recently watched The Chappelle Show for laughs and giggles.  First off, it was probably one of the more controversial and groundbreaking shows of its time and inspired a heinous string of followers: Mind of Mencia, etc.  Regardless, the show had a couple of sketches that I dropped my jaw when I saw.  In the clip above is the beautiful tropical fish, Ann Perkins, as an extra who had been reduced to doing seedy yet hilarious sketches like this before her Parks and Recreation days.  Not too groundbreaking, yes, but I think it’s fun to see actors ‘paying their dues’ before they make it big.  I’m sure she cringes every time someone references this.

I wasn’t able to comment on how the season [and series] opening of the television show’s I’ve been watching.  In all honesty, each opening could have it’s own article dedicated to them [those will be saved for a later date], but in essence of time, consider this a check up commenting on how strong each series is so far, and where they can improve.  This is a good time for a check up because one cannot judge how well the series will do this season based on the opener, but rather the follow up episodes that will likely be more closer to setting the mood of the entire season run.  Hit the jump to see if you agree.  Spoilers ahead, watch your step.

One of the biggest things I’m upset about is the Emmy snub targeted by Nick Offerman, who plays Leslie Knopes boss, Ron Swanson, on NBC”s Parks and Recreation.  One of Parks and Recreation‘s characters that carries more comedic luggage, Offerman’s Ron Swanson is most deserving of recognition besides the already nominated.  Aziz Ansari’s Tom Haverford is funny and clever, but Offerman’s perfect timing and dead-pan delivery usually is more satisfying than some of the sometimes-funny squabble Ansari says.  So I’ve compiled some awesome things and hilarious moments featuring TV’s best mustached figure in honor of this horrendous crime.  Enjoy.
