This Week’s Top Comedy Video: Sperm Bank

It’s probably a thankless job working a sperm bank since no matter how professional you keep things and no matter how numb your are to creeps and no matter how much paperwork you file and no matter how much pornography you offer, you’ll still run into awkward situations. It’s like a ruder version of working at the DMV where the people who work at the DMV are your customers.

This Week’s Top Comedy Video: The Shocker

Moms are the coolest. Not because they birthed you into this world, not because they raised you, not because they can never stop taking care of you but because there was a point in time where she wasn’t a mom yet. And she gave that all up to create another human. So never doubt that your mom only knows how to mother, she knows everything you did before you did. Even the shocker. Hell, she knows more about that than you do too.

This Week's Top Comedy Video: I Hate San Francisco

Most people love San Francisco! Well, except for that one startup guy. But the rest of us can find something about SF to love from its vibrant culture, wonderful food, open minded people, close proximity to the ocean, charming architecture, the Golden Gate Bridge, most excellent burritos, Colin Kaepernick, occasionally very beautiful days, lovely in theory public transportation system, once in a while world changing ideas and so on. Here’s Funny or Die’s take on the crabby people who hate on the city by the bay.

This Week’s Top Comedy Video: It’s Not You, It’s Me

Break ups are a horrible thing to go through! But what might be worse is that period of time right before a break up when you start to get annoyed with everything your girlfriend or boyfriend does. The way they slurp their food, the icky way they use napkins, their hygiene. Every once adorable tic becomes a grating flaw of their character. Just don’t handle breakups like Gillian Jacobs.

This Week’s Top Comedy Video: Disney’s Vehicle Movies

This Week's Top Comedy Video: Disney's Vehicle Movies

If you’re over the age of 12, you probably wondered why the hell Pixar ever made Cars 2. And then when you heard about Planes, you probably wondered who in the world would go see a Pixar-less Disney movie that sounds like the direct to DVD cousin of Cars.
