Webshort: “White Collar Comedy with Mortimer the Steel Baron” by Matt Ruby
With “Blue Collar” acts Bill Engvall, Ron White and their ilk building a fan base among working stiffs, it’s only a matter of time before privileged Americans find a comic that speaks their language. Enter comic Matt Ruby’s Mortimer. We’re not sold on the fur condom idea, but we like Mortimer’s style. He’s like Dick Cheney with a sense of humor (and not quite so supercilious and condescending).

Webshort: “Celebs Do Stuff with Jessica St. Clair” on Funny or Die
Amusing improv actress Jessica St. Clair (UCBT, Best Week Ever) presents this this almost-identical-to-the-real-deal spoof of mind-numbing celebrity sighting shows (”Mark Ruffalo buys Odor Eaters!"). Also appreciated Jess’ Entertainment Tonight-esque bubbliness (even if we’re still not over those Mary Hart-induced seizures from back in ‘89).
