THE WORLD'S MOST ONE-SIDED TALK SHOW

HEY! CHICAGO! SIT DOWN AND SHADDUP!

Because we are bringing you a VERY SPECIAL, SNEEK-PEEK of our upcoming epic, COMEDY RELIEF: ZERO. This is a one-night-only preview screening of our brand-new, mind-melting special -- and you get to see it months before we officially release it onto the world!



This special is the opposite of special, jam-packed with the most cringe-inducing set-ups and bomb-dropping punchlines ripped from their magnetic tape time capsules! Today’s hottest ventriloquists, racists, prop comics, sexists, impersonators, homophobes, and talk show hosts wish this footage was still in the landfills! The streets will run blue with women wisecracks, fat people puns, and homelessness gags galore! Are you oppressed and underrepresented in society? Well then, watch out! Let’s pull back the banana peel and take a head-first descent into the brick wall of our own mind! Take my life... please! Am I right?

Co-presented by the good folks at the Up Comedy Club -- buy your tickets now before it's too late!

Not only will you be able to bask in the glory of thousands upon thousands of Jerry Maguires stacked, shelved, and piled into pyramids and other magickal structures, we've got comedy from Chicago funny people Chad Briggs, Katie McVay, Lisa Laureta and Natalie Jose, video from GOOP of the GODS, Maguire loops that will alter your perceptions of time and space, and sweet EIT stuff to raffle off!

All donations collected at this FREE event will go towards expanding our Terrible empire in the form of our web series Sex City and Channel 2020!

Super cool, right? Then come join us this Saturday at 7!!

*PS TOTALLY NOT AN APRIL FOOL'S JOKE!

"MIAMI CONNECTION" 25TH ANNIVERSARY SCREENING IN CHICAGO!

Chicagoans! We have joined forces with Drafthouse Films to present two midnight screenings of lost '80s thunder-rager Miami Connection at the Music Box Theater in Chicago on Sept 28th and 29th. This past August, we hosted a raucous screening of this ultimate achievement in Taekwondo anti-sanity at our third annual Everything is Festival, which reduced the walls of LA's The Cinefamily to rubble! Join in for what will very likely be one of the greatest/unforgettable nights of your life and witness what even Entertainment Weekly calls their "new cult movie obsession." Facebook event page for these screenings can be found here.

HEY CHICAGO! WANNA HANG OUT THIS WEEKEND?

Hey Chicago! We've got a busy evening ahead of us! First we're heading out to The Octagon Gallery at 8pm for some creamy psychedelic goodness from PAPER RAD and SCOTT WHITEMAN, new GOOP OF THE GODS, and oh what's this? Videos from something called EVERYTHING IS TERRIBLE? Interesting.

 If that's not enough madness for you, then it's off to The Logan Theatre for the PCP-fueled antics of DEATH DRUG at 11 pm!

You OK? You freaking out? Don't worry dude, you can see DEATH DRUG tomorrow night, too. Now let's go find the chillout tent...

CHICAGO! DEATH DRUG! AUGUST 17 & 18!

Hey Chicago! What are you doing on August 17 & 18 at 11 pm? Here's what you should be doing: Joining us at the Logan Theatre for a screening of the totally insane Drugsploitation flick DEATH DRUG!

EVERYTHING IS WHACK!! IN CHICAGO

EVERyTHING IS WHACK!!, at Chicago's Beauty Bar on Sunday (2/20/11) at 9PM, features a totally radical blend of obscure and off-kilter music mashed with the insanity inducing found footage visual fuckfest of Everything Is Terrible! It is guaranteed to be an ear-bleeding, eye-scratching-out, head fuck of a dance party featuring the sounds of Odd Obsessions' unRad Brian, Ruffy, and Tuffy. Fun, fun, fun!

LET US SETTLE THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL...

Over the last year, we've been contacted by hundreds of supposed Duanes! and we are fed up with it all. We want Duane! and we want Duane! now! This Friday, at the Music Box Theatre at 10:30 PM, could the real Duane please step forward? If you do not, I cannot say what Ghoul Skool will do...



(Duane, you should probably buy your ticket pre-sale, so you can get a seat)

SEE YOU THERE, HOT DOGS

Chicago! Michael Jordan! Al Capone! Bang bang!



After the show is a special screening of one of our favorite flams of all time,
'7 LUCKY NINJA KIDS!'

If this doesn't wet your whistle, then I don't know what will...

STUNT ROCK!!!

A million thanks to all the Chicagoans that came to the Hungry Brain last night! Our apologies to everyone that was left waiting outside, the bar was mobbed with a throng of Terrible people and the show reached capacity before it even started.

For all those who couldn't make it, here's a little taste of what you missed: EIT's first ever FOUR-minute movie! "Stunt Rock" was so jam packed with explosions, wizards, and mysterious dudes in hoods we just couldn't bear to cut it down any more.

EIT LIVE AND UNBLOGGED TONIGHT!

Just a reminder that the Chicago chapter of EIT will be at the Hungry Brain tonight! Here's a quick preview of the masterpiece of crap that will be shown:


Full details for the event (and a nifty flyer) here!

SENSITIVITY TRAINING FOR COPS

Somebody didn't watch the video...

DO. NOT. COME.

IF I WERE THIS GROUNDHOG, I'D NEVER SHOW MY FACE AGAIN

Illinois takes Groundhog Day pretty seriously... I think.

THE FOUR SNOWMEN OF REVELATION

As a Chicago resident and Snowpocalypse survivor, I just want to pay tribute to those who were lost or late to work during the Snowmageddon.

THE BALLAD OF VINCENT

Check out the trailer for the upcoming Vincent documentary at Zweeble Films.

SON OF SVENGOOLIE

Even though Chicago's Svengoolie, or in this case, Son of Svengoolie is just a huge Ghoulardi rip-off, that doesn't mean it isn't awesome.

YONDER VITTLES' HOMEWORK #1

"Hunting the North American Wild Turkey provides the ultimate challenge to even seasoned hunters. Learn how to outsmart these cagey birds from professional hunter and award-winning turkey caller, Jerry Antley." After watching the 40 minute hunting tutorial in its entirety it occurred to me that the host of the instructional video, Jerry Antley, was much more comfortable speaking to the gobblers than the camera - and likely his wife, whom he mentions in the video.

























Video #2 Sleeping Drier with DDAVP Tablets
Found at Village Discount Outlet, 4027 North Kedzie Avenue, Chicago, Illinois



This short informative video was made in 1999 by the Rhone-Poulenc pharmaceutical company to tell kids all about DDAVP tablets in a hip way that kids would understand. Your hosts, Amy Scott and Tim Summers, "give you the scoop on bedwetting." They get you hip to cool facts like this one: 5 million kids wet the bed - just in the United States. Can you imagine how many wet beds there are in China? Sweet Dude! The melodramatic reenactment of an embarrassing bedwetting incident makes this pharmaceutical informative video a must watch.


























Video #3 Hot Country Dancin' with Special Guest Lee Greenwood
Found at Village Discount Outlet, 4027 North Kedzie Avenue, Chicago, Illinois



This gem from 1984 was shot on location at the famous Stagecoach Lounge in Nashville, Tennessee. It is the best country dance instructional I have been able to get my hands on. I have included here the opening scene at the Stagecoach Lounge where Lee Greenwood takes his wife out for a night on the town, but she is swept away by a mustachioed cowboy who knew how to move his boots on the dance floor. Do you know how to two-step cowboy?
