Poo Poo on Monday -- Rico and Kip

Uncle Rico and Kip sharing a strange conversation. These guys have girlfriends? From Napoleon Dynamite.

PooPooing the Monday Blues -- Yanking Andy's Chain

There's nothing like yanking the chain of someone with anger issues. If you're not in striking distance that is. Andy loses his phone and his mind in this clip from The Office. (Andy is a real sycophant, a slap-you-on-the-back kind of guy with an ego the size of the former Soviet Union.)

Poo Poo on Monday -- Dwight the fascist

For your Monday enjoyment, a clip from The Office. In the show, Jim and Pam -- the two scheming in the clip -- are constantly devising ways to torment Dwight. When he's not sucking up to Michael, the boss, Dwight is subjecting his co-workers to his fascistic tendencies and over-inflated sense of self (he has a bobble head of himself on his desk).

Poo Poo on Monday -- Bad Baby

Good cop, bad cop in a most surprising manner. Best viewed with headphones if you're at work.

Poo Poo on Monday -- David Brent dance

When I heard that there was going to be a U.S. version of The Office I was very skeptical. 'Oh great. Take a brilliant show and completely wreck it." But it works. Very well (as you can see from my going on and on about it here).

The U.S. version of The Office provides me with at least explosive laugh per show. Plus a lot of regular laughs in between. The British version is also very funny but in a different way. It's more uncomfortably funny. In the following, David Brent (Ricky Gervais), the hopelessly clueless boss, once again sucks all the attention.

Poo Poo on Monday -- Napoleon

One of the many great scenes from the funny and odd little film, Napoleon Dynamite.

Poo Poo on Monday -- Eddie Izzard

Eddie Izzard is brilliant. Here he is talking about empires and dictators. Best to use headphones if you're at work. Unless you work on the docks or are trying to get fired.

Poo Poo on Monday -- prison Mike

The clueless Michael Scott, in "The Office," tries to refute his employees' belief that prison is better than working at the company. This scene was preceded by a conversation with an new employee who had been in a white-collar prison. In it the ex-con says that he got to work out a lot and spend a lot of time outside while he was in prison. 'We don't get to workout during work or get to go outside...'

As usual, a couple of employees make him look even more stupid by pretending to take him seriously. Due to language, this is best listened to with headphones unless you're at home. Or, don't care.

Poo Poo on Monday -- Atom Bomb

"The Young Ones" was a fabulous British comedy. The characters are absolutely horrible. But incredibly funny -- especially Rick, the nerd, and VyVyan, the guy with the silver stars stuck into his forehead.

Poo Poo on Monday -- fax machine

From "Office Space." The characters take the horribly functioning/jamming fax machine out for a beating. We would so like to take our office color printer. (Print two pages -- slooooooow, jam in some unfindable place, warm up for 10 minutes, print one page on white paper, print the next on huge purple paper, jam...)
Due to langauge, this is best listened to with headphones unless you're at home. Or don't care.

Poo Poo on Monday -- Corky

A classic clip from Christopher Guest's "Waiting for Guffman." One of the funniest movies ever. Guffman is a mock documentary about a play produced for a town's anniversary celebration. In this scene Corky, the play's director, asks the town council for money to produce the play.

Poo Poo on Monday

I e-mailed EclectChick this a.m. about Bush's approval rating -- 28 percent. She coined a new word to describe her delight: Schadenfreudelicious (Schadenfreude* + delicious).

I am eating my lunch and the celery is extra salty. I wonder if that means it's gone bad?

*Glee at another's misfortune.

Welcome to Optimism no longer publishes Stu Poo Poo's the Blues. It's a dreary spring day here so here's my Monday Poo Poo the Blues (I hope that title isn't trademarked) -- future Dwight.
