Aubrey Plaza is one of the funniest people in comedy right now. She's not afraid to cross the line; hell, she sends it to Mars. Now, she'll maybe be doing it for 22 minutes at a time on TBS. Well, she's at least producing those 22 minutes. Deadline reports that the actress is creating a pilot for the network called Nightmare Time. Celebrity guests will take part in Aubrey Plaza's Nightmare Clinic in which their worst dreams are exposed. The show is written by Plaza, Darcy Fowler, Kieran Valla, and Seth Kirschner and will reportedly be an anthology series featuring two nightmares per episode.
Aubrey Plaza, Elizabeth Olson are going west in a new movie
The market is hot for Aubrey Plaza, who is coming off of four movies this year, and Elizabeth Olsen, who has two films for 2016. Now, the two are co-starring in a new social media dark comedy from Matt Spicer. The Hollywood Reporter scooped the movie which is called Ingrid Goes West and has “Ingrid (Plaza) who becomes obsessed with a social media star named Taylor Sloane (Olsen) with a seemingly perfect life. When Ingrid decides to drop everything and move west to befriend Taylor, her behavior turns unsettling and increasingly dangerous.” It’s a classic tale of stalker turned friend. The script comes from Spicer and david Branson Smith. Plaza will produce alongside Jared Ian Goldman.
VOTW: Swedish Chef sings Sia, a Ben Carson campaign video, and John Mulaney as a dog!
Cherndelifer - McGoiter
In one of the funniest videos of the year, YouTube comedian McGoiter (Brock Baker) uses his fantastic Swedish Chef impression in order to sing Sia's "Chandelier." Although this is not the song you already know. It's been chefterized and I personally love it. Baker is able to channel his inner Swedish Chef in order to make the perfect rendition of the cook's probable favorite song. His dance moves aren't the best but he's a muppet damnit! And the lyrics are just as understandable as the character himself. Nice way to hop on the return of The Muppets, McGoiter.
New Ben Carson 2016 Campaign Commercial - Funny or Die
Ben Carson hasn't had any luck in the polls recently (who am I kidding? He's one of the leading candidates) but that didn't stop him from creating a new campaign add! Featuring the likes of Carson's dying patients, the ad shows truly what this doctor can do. And that's apparently make a lot of bad doctoral mistakes.
Heavy Petting ft. John Mulaney - Amy Poehler's Smart Girls
Amy Poehler's Smart Girls is a social entity that aims to bring about a better world. In one of their most recent videos, they use the great voice of John Mulaney in order to get the ball rolling on more frequent pet adoption. This video is in partnership with ASPCA in order to raise support for animal shelters. The result is a cute video that has a dog doing dog things while Mulaney narrates the actions. If you don't want to get a puppy (or older dog) after this, then you've got real issues. Later episodes are said to feature the likes of Aubrey Plaza, Aziz Ansari and Nick Offerman.
