Did you dry these in a rainforest?

Eddie Izzard may be the funniest man on the planet. I can sit and listen to him mumble all evening long with nary a break. And I rarely use words like "nary", but there it is...taunting me.

Here is his take on what it would be like for Darth Vader to order food at the Death Star's cafeteria. And someone with a lot of time on their hands made a lego video for the rant. Very clever. {shakes his head "no"...then nods his head "yes"...then shakes his head "no"...rinse and repeat}



Found this on Gorilla Mask, by the way. If you've never been there it is a wonderful source of everything funny and nasty on the Internets. Plus boobs!

    Izzard's hilarious. Last season his show "The Riches" was really good. This year it's gone off the rails and is almost completely unwatchable.

    There's no point to this is there?

    Diva - ah...the ole' LOL. It's been a while. ;)

    Limpy - To me there is. I loved the first few episodes of "The Riches", but I thought it fell off quickly.

    Oh, shit! That's hilarious. I'm going to have to put some Eddie Izzard on my Netflix queue. They have suggested it before but I don't remember which ones I've seen and which ones I haven't.

    Ah, I'd almost forgotten how good Eddie Izzard was! I've been watching/listening to so much David Cross and Lewis Black stand up.

    OMG, I FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING love Eddie Izzard! Alas, I have never heard that bit but I just peed my pants (damn you! I shall hack at your neck with this thin bit!)

    Now, why hasn't someone done that with the "cake or death" routine???

    Em - Lewis Black is a maniac. In a good way.

    bobgirrl - Yeah, there is a bunch of them, but "Cake or Death" and this one are the funniest.

    Darth - And he wears black all the time. How gauche.

    Slyde - That's how you wold run a war.
