Here is the plea from our very own Andy Ritchie (the dude who makes the most hilarious monocle joke I've ever heard).  Vote for him to become The Next Big Comic:

This
is the LAST ROUND OF INTERNET VOTING and there's only TWO DAYS left to
do it (Friday is the last day). If you can , please vote for me. You
can vote as many times as you like, and it's really easy to do. You
don't have to give your e-mail, and you don't even have to watch the
clip.

I've always had a dream of being on Country Music Television, but in
the dream it was always a news blip about me being arrested for
throwing Dwight Yoakam down a well.  This would suffice though.

A note from effinfunny favorite, Greg Warren, let's help him win: 

So I am in this Comedy Central Contest.  You can vote for me online or text STANDUP WARREN to 44686.  You can vote as often as you want between now and 1/31.  If I finish in the top 20, they play my SPECIAL on 1/31.  They make a big deal of it on the network during the month of January.

VOTE HERE

I am currently in 13th place thanks largely to my friend Erin and her family.  Pretty cool.

Thanks.  Merry Christmas.

Effinfunny Comedian Nick Kroll star is shining brightly these days.  He co-stars in the new animated show SIT DOWN, SHUT Sunday night @ 8:30pm on FOX. It also stars some names you may recognize (unless you're a douchebag) Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Henry Winkler, Cheri Oteri, Will forte, Kristen Chenowith, Keenan Thompson and Tom Kenny. A star studded cast.  Nick can also be seen in Nick Thune's new series on Atom.com, "Nick's Big Show."  It's a pretty hilarious mock dock where Thune decides to put aside his comedy career to put on a dramatic one man show.  Kroll wonderfully portrays his exasperated yet supportive manager. Watch it!

From the brilliantly weird mind of Effinfunny comedian Tig Notaro comes a new webseries.  Here's her note to you:

dearest effinfunny viewer,

a website hired me to do some low-rent
"interviews" (hang out and be stupid) with comedians/celebrities in
different settings. its called "the tig series." my first one w/megan
mullally from "will & grace" and "in the motherhood" was featured
on the site yesterday.  i'm warning you, this is an important piece of
journalism. tell your friends.

love,

Hey everyone! Check out Sandeep's awesome guest appearance on maniaTV's
Arcade show War Room, where he gets into a heated discussion with
three uber gamers about Universal and EA's Licensing Agreements.

War Room is a show where "expert gamers debate the latest gaming topics and trends in a rountable
format.  The screen and the screen time are split into 4 quarters, a
countdown clock rules the day and the Arcade team takes on other gaming
authorities from new and old school media outlets alike."

Heh, they think he's a "gaming authority"... suckers!

Just got this note from the Sklar Brothers, go check out their show:

Friends,

As some of you know, we have been working very hard, over the past
year, developing, shooting and producing a web series for Michael
Eisner and the Topps trading card company called "Back On Topps".

The show launches Tuesday September 30th, with new episodes coming out
each Tuesday and Thursday throughout October, culminating in a week
long run of new episodes each night at the beginning of November.

The show can be found at www.backontopps.com, as well as on www.foxsports.com/backontopps and of course, you tube and myspace and other major internet channels.

Hey everyone,

Effinfunny Comic and thrift store lover, John Evans, will be on Last Comic Standing tonight!  So forget about any Celtic Laker rivalry and watch some real competition...

If you happen to miss it, you can watch it on Bravo over da weekend.  

Recent rumors of trading Miami Heat superstar, Shaquille O’Neal to the Phoenix Suns, have not only upset Shaquille but also the family of tree squirrels living on the giant O’Neal. “We just are getting acclimated to the weather and seasons here in Miami.” Alpha squirrel Edgar told the Acorn Press. “Now we might be shipped to Phoenix?” Edgar and his female companion, Loretta, originally made a nest on O’Neal’s shoulder when he played for Orlando, now have over 20 sons and daughters to think about. “Where we going papa?” The offspring chirped. Mr. O’Neal said he was unaware he had a family of over 20 living on him, said that he has no plans to evict the critters and hopes against the trade. “Shaq likes little squirrels, Shaq likes Miami. Shaq will use no trade clause in contract.” Said Mr. O'Neal.
