Never one to taste mainstream success, Julie Brown is the ultimate working comedienne. Probably her best known film role is that of the lead in 1989’s Earth Girls are Easy. Now one of the neighborhood moms on ABC’s The Middle, you have to go all the way back to her 1984 EP Goddess in Progressto dig up this gem. Actress, director, voice-over artist,...
Hard-working comedian Rodney Dangerfield scored a very unlikely hit in 1983, at the age of 62, on the Rap 100 chart. The song is a play on his stage persona with the “no respect” theme playing throughout. I think it’s safe to say Rodney was one of the few white, senior citizens ever to place a song on the rap charts. Known mostly for his comedy fil...
Out on a book tour now, Darrell Hammond is known as the longest-running cast member in Saturday Night Live’s history, appearing from 1994 to 2009 in over 200 episodes. Known for his dead on impressions, especially of President Bill Clinton, you have to go all the way back into the 80’s to find this single. Hammond does all the voices and nails mult...
Comediennes Kate Micucci and Riki Lindhome are the brains behind the duo Oatesand Garfunkel. This scathingly funny ditty has over a million hits on YouTube. Even though neither Micucci nor Lindhome are household names, if you have watched any amount of television over the past decade, you have seen them on your favorite network shows, with dozens o...
People tend to forget that before all of the starring movie roles, Steve Martin was one of the top standup comedians of the 1970’s. In 1978, Martin released the comedy album A Wild and Crazy Guy, which shot up to #2 on the pop charts and went double platinum. He later donned the ancient Egyptian garb to perform the song King Tut on Saturday Night L...
Comedians Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas were anchors on the classic sketch comedy show SCTV in the 1980’s. They created the characters Bob and Doug McKenzie, who went on to record albums, make a movie, become commercial pitchmen and, almost 30 years later, spun off into their own cartoon series. But it was 1981’s Great White North album, which went ...
When it comes to comedy, just about everything starts with Monty Python’s Flying Circus, which ran on BBC from 1969 to 1974. In 1979, executive producer George Harrison and the boys from Monty Python released, arguably, one of the greatest comedy movies of all time: Life of Brian. As the movie ends, and most of the characters are being crucified, t...
Almost 20 years before Adam Sandler embarrassed himself with a record 10 awards for Jack and Jill at the Razzie Awards, he was nominated for a Grammy Award for his comedy album They’re All Going to Laugh at Youin 1993. The preference here is to remember Sandler singing about the joys of cafeteria meat with the late great Chris Farley, rather than a...
The Lonely Island is the comedy team of Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer. Released in 2005, this Digital Short changed the entertainment game. Saturday Night Livetook a chance here with a slightly different presentation of their comedy and it set the stage for more shorts over the years. With over 5 million hits on YouTube, NBC yanke...
No one blurs the line between comedy and music more than Jack Black. The first draft of the list didn’t include this song because I always think of Tenacious D as a rock band, not that far removed from GWAR. But before the band Tenacious D, there was the show of the same name on HBO. After re-listening to the song Tribute for the tenth time, this h...
In 1994, after four consecutive years of wins by classical music comedy albums, the award was restricted to spoken word comedy albums and moved into the "spoken" field. From then through 2003, it was awarded as the Grammy Award for Best Spoken Comedy Album.
