Variety SHAC

I've been watching the video shorts of Variety SHAC over and over this past week. It all started when I was watching TV a couple weeks ago. I saw that The 40 Year Old Virgin was on. I hadn't seen it before, but it was almost over. I tuned in right when Jane Lynch was singing a seductive song to Steve Carell, and I was laughing really hard already. I knew I'd have to just rent the movie and watch it from the beginning.

So I went over to the video rental store. They seemed to have been rearranging their stock. I couldn't find The 40 Year Old Virgin, but I did notice Reno 911!: Miami sitting on the shelves. I didn't even know they made a movie of that show. So I went with that.

Got home, watched it, enjoyed it a lot. That got me really curious about the cast and writers. That led me to The State, Stella, and David Wain (the last time I paid attention to that gang was when their show on Comedy Central came and went). I wound up watching all the Wainy Days series, which is amazing. In one episode I saw Andrea Rosen, who I traced to the Variety SHAC group.

My favorite shorts are "Hot Apple Cider," "Book Club," and "River Thoughts," but they're all awesome and genius. Comedy people blow me away. I'm not sure why weird music and comedy are what excite me the most, but I'm happy about it.

Also, I got obsessed with this clip from Michael and Michael Have Issues. Genius!
