THE RATASS GAZETTE

"You think I don't know what breaks my fridge?" - Season 6, Ep 19, "The One With Joey's Fridge"  RANDOM THOUGHTS ... My general rule of thumb with Friends is this... Seasons 1-3: Gold; Seasons 4-10: Hit or miss.  "The One With Joey's Fridge"  is from Season 6 and it's not just a hit, it's a grand friggin' slam. Hilarious episode. Complete with Spanish subtitles! De nada. 

"You're a fascinating man, George Costanza." - Classic stuff here from Seinfeld (Season 3, Ep 7, "The Cafe"). George tells Jerry he's been lying about his IQ for years, and now his girlfriend is making him take the test. So he cheats and has Elaine take it for him... RANDOM THOUGHTS ... The scene cracks me up! Watching George try to keep this lie going is hilarious. I like how he tries to play it off like she's the one asking stupid questions. "Where do you think I got the coffee? At the grocery store." And my favorite, "Why would I go out the door? The window's right here."

Here's a collection of ha-larious scenes from an episode of The Office (Season 5, Ep 13) called "The Stress Relief". "You were in the parking lot earlier, that's how I know you." - Pure gold right here. The office attempts to learn CPR, but fails badly. In fact, the lesson results in Andy singing the Bee Gees while Kelly dances. I like how the rest of the employees just look on with amusement/apathy. The scene is full of funny bits. Favorite line... Dwight: "Ok, he's dead. Anyone know what we do next?" Classic! The Roast of Michael Scott - Probably one of the best all-time Office scenes. Michael set up a Comedy Central-style Roast so employees could poke fun at him, and it's nothing short of gut-busting. I think I like Dwight's roast the best. Enjoy! "Boom, Roasted!" - Here's the end of episode. Michael got his feelings hurt at his own roast, but now he's got some comebacks of his own. "Osc...

"Goodbye, Toby" - Here's a nice collection of scenes from The Office Season 4 finale where Michael sings "Goodbye, Toby" (set to the tune of " Goodbye, Stranger " by Supertramp). Michael really gets into it, and it cracks me up how apathetic the crowd is... except of course, for Dwight, who rocks it out. This is right after Michael reiterates to the crowd that he's the song (parody) writer who penned "Beers in Heaven" and "Total Eclipse of the Fart". Classic! "I hate so much about the things that you choose to be." - And, just for good measure, here's a great video compilation of a bunch of funny Michael vs. Toby moments from over the years. Michael's complete and utter disdain for all things Toby is comedy gold. I especially enjoy when Michael shoves Toby's lunch tray off the table and onto the floor (1:54), even though Toby is actually being really nice to him. Such a jerk move, and yet, so funny! ...

"Must be a banker." - Hilarious scenes from an episode of Seinfeld where Kramer and Newman make up a lie in an attempt to get Newman out of a speeding ticket. (Season 4, Ep 4, "The Ticket").  Whenever you get those two together it's pure comedy gold.  I really like the bit where they're brain-storming ideas before their appearance in the court room.  Kramer suggests he was suicidal because he never had an air-conditioner. Great stuff! 

"What the hell do I care about Al Jolson?" - Hilarious scene from Seinfeld (Season 4, Ep 18, "The Old Man") where Kramer and Newman try to sell some of Jerry's old records. When told they're practically worthless, they don't like it. It cracks me up how Kramer instigates the whole calamity, saying what's on his mind but not actually saying it to the record store owner's face. He just says it to Newman, who then repeats it to the store owner. It just keeps escalating ("I find you extremely ugly") until all hell breaks loose. "A real brouhaha," as Kramer later describes it. Pure gold! (You'll have to click the link to YouTube, as embedding is disabled, but it's worth the click!) 

"Michael always sings the high harmony to Happy Birthday" - Some classic scenes from The Office (Season 4, Ep 7, "Survivor Man") in which we find out Michael Scott (Steve Carell) loves to, A) surprise his employees on their birthday, as seen here... ... and B) he always sings the high harmony to the Happy Birthday song, as seen below. Hilarious! This is definitely one of my favorite episodes, hope you enjoy the clips! 

"Look what you're doing to Chandler!" -  This classic scene is from Season 3, Ep 17, "The One Without the Ski Trip". The gang (minus Ross) plans to go skiing, but accidentally lock the keys in Phoebe's mom's cab and they all begin arguing, which causes Chandler to attempt to create a distraction. Umm... it's a long story, so just trust me when I say that this scene is hilarious!

"Don't mess with Colorado." - Remember when Steve Carell left The Office after nearly 7 full seasons and he was replaced by Will Ferrell? Well, you should, it was only last year. If you don't, you may want to see a doctor, because it really wasn't that long ago. Anyhoo, Ferrell appeared in four episodes that season and The Office has just not been the same since Carell departed. Without further ado, here is the scene where these two funnymen meet each other on the show. As you can guess, hilarity ensues. Enjoy!  

"Then Brian comes in and I change up the tempo." - If you look up "funny ass shit" in the dictionary, this video clip is what you see.  It's the classic scene from Family Guy where Stewie tries to write a song for a girl and Brian tells him how lame he is.  "Why are you bringin' me down, man?"  Haha, hilarious! 

"You should think of my work as wordless sound poems." - Classic scenes where Ross dazzles the rest of the Friends gang with his musical "talent" on the keyboard.  This is from Season 4, Ep 7, "The One Where Chandler Crosses the Line."  Great stuff from David Schwimmer in this episode, a lot of funny facial expressions and dorky one-liners and whatnot.  Just good, clean fun.  The "Electrifying" performance in Central Perk (3:15) is my favorite example of Ross' sound .  "He's so inspired! Look at him. Look at him go!"   Hilarious, enjoy!  

"Not gonna play ball, huh?" - Classic scene where Newman plays bad cop trying to nab Jerry in a mail fraud scheme.  It cracks me up the way Jerry plays it cool, and the whole bit where Newman sweats under the lights is pure gold.  Enjoy!   "Oh, how I've longed for this day, Seinfeld." - Here is the end of that episode (Season 8, Ep 5, "The Package") where Jerry is eventually caught and punished for mail fraud, and Newman savors every moment of it.  Good stuff. 

"They're slim fit.  Streamlined." - Here are some scenes from a classic Seinfeld episode (Season 7, Ep 23, "The Wait Out") where Kramer decides to prove to Jerry that he can still fit into a pair of blue jeans.  Lots of great physical comedy in this one.  I love Jerry's facial expressions when Kramer insists he'll buy a pair of jeans.  "Don't think I won't, Jerry!"  Haha, enjoy! 

"How's life on the red planet?" - This is way up on my list of favorite Seinfeld episodes (Season 8, Ep 8, "The Chicken Roaster").  A Kenny Rogers Roasters chicken restaurant opens right across the street from Kramer, and their neon sign invades Kramer's place with eternal red light, so he and Jerry switch apartments.  A lot of laughs from the K-Man in this clip, plus we get some Newman and an appearance by Mr. Marbles.  Enjoy!

"Having said that..." - A hilarious scene from Curb Your Enthusiasm featuring Jerry Seinfeld, Larry David, and Jason Alexander.  This is from Season 7 (2009).  An instant classic!

"Here's to feeling good all the time." -  Physical comedy at it's finest!  Michael Richards is a comic genius, I don't know if any other actor could have made this scene as hilarious as he did.  It's amazing how many laughs they squeeze into a minute and a half.  One of my favorite Seinfeld episodes of all time!  ("The Sniffing Accountant", Season 5, Episode 4). Kramer: "I'll have a brewskie, Charlie."  Bartender: "The name's Mitch."  Haha, enjoy! 

We love The Office here at the RATASS Gazette, and here is a look at some hilarious moments involving Andy "The Nard Dog" Bernard.  Enjoy! "How's the apartment hanging?" - Here is a fantastic clip where Andy and Jim are en route to a sales call.  It cracks me up how Andy tries to be so cool, riffing on global warming (" Today was supposed to be really cold, I bet. ") and whatnot.  Beer me! "You. Me. Bar. Beers. Buzzed." - This is one of my personal favorite bits from The Office .  Michael is sick of Andy sucking up to him and shoots him down pretty hard.  Gold!  "Country roads, take me home!" - In this classic scene, Andy and Dwight are both trying to impress new receptionist Erin.  Of course, the Nard Dog scores big points by singing perfect harmony.  Great stuff! 

I know, I know... smoking may not be seen as "cool" or "healthy" these days, but Chandler sure made it funny on Friends !  Here are some classic clips featuring Chandler's hilarious habit: "Just think of it as the thing that's been missing from your hand." - The first clip here is from the first season, "The One With The Thumb", a scene in which Chandler is trying to teach Joey how to smoke to prepare for a role.  Comedy gold! Chandler smokes at work. - Here is a scene from the same episode where Chandler sneaks a smoke on company time.  Sorry, no embed here, but trust me, it's worth clicking the link! Watch the video - http://youtu.be/697hXU_RIkI Chandler smokes with Rachel's co-workers. - Here's a great scene where Chandler goes to Rachel's office and makes quite an impression on her colleagues. Cracks me up every time!

I love Scrubs for its randomness and not so much for it's heartwarming and dramatic moments. So that's why I get a kick out of this little nugget.

"The bus is OUTTA CONTROL !" - This classic Seinfeld scene is about as good as it gets, in my opinion: Kramer telling the story of how he saved a woman's pinky toe. It's from Season 5, Episode 18 - "The Fire". There are so many funny lines in here, I'll just let the video speak for itself!
