I've always loved the movie "Airplane!", it's probably the funniest spoof movie ever made. I knew that it was based on the old b-movie "Zero Hour", but I never knew how much until I watched these.
I've never been a big fan of the Mad TV, but this sketch is pretty darn funny.
Another Timberlake sketch, this time with a special appearance from Jimmy Fallon as Barry Gibb. I can't ever listen to "Nights on Broadway" the same way after I first saw them do this concept a few years ago.
Justin Timberlake was excellent on SNL this weekend. I'm not a big fan of his music, but he's a gifted comedian. Case in point, this SNL Digital short he did with Andy Samberg:

Two years ago, Bill Lawrence, the creator of "Scrubs", pitched a show to the WB network about two best friends who love sitcoms who get a chance to create one for the WB. They have to live on a soundstage in front a studio audience, but it's the chance of a lifetime for them. It's hilarious.
The WB passed, but recently it was posted on YouTube and NBC gave it a second look, buying 6 scripts with the intent of making it a midseason show. I even hear they'll do webisodes until they launch. Very cool.
This is part one. You can find parts 2 and 3 in my video section.
