Since I forgot to do a post on the previous episode, I’ll just combine it with this one.  By now you probably know that people in Prison Break Land eventually die when they run out of usefulness.  However when they’re key parts of the humor of the show, you hate to lose them.  That’s exactly what happened the last two episodes.  We’re quickly losing humorous characters on the show, so I hope they pick up more people soon.  Anyway here’s a brief clip from last night’s episode.

So I’ve been following the Presidential Debates very loosely recently and what caught my eye was the special edition SNL episodes immediately following The Office.  They basically take the funny bits from the more recent debate and make them funnier.  Some of you might have seen my post about the debate, so here’s SNL’s take on the same thing right here.

And again!

After a lengthy session of Halo 3 Tuesday night, I decided to tune into the last few minutes of the second presidential debate.  For some reason it feels like they just avoid all the direct questions and just keep going around and around the issue until it sounds like they made a good point.  I’m not a real big fan of politics myself, so the best thing I could pick up on was that Obama looked more comfortable without a podium than McCain.  Also McCain is really really old, but that’s not really the issue here…or is it?  If McCain dies of old age, we’ll be stuck with Palin.  At least she has to be better than Dick Cheney.  Where is that guy anyway?  Maybe he’s trying out for the U.S. Olympic Shooting Team.  And did anyone see that nobody in the “town hall” meeting was Asian?  At least they could proportion the people somewhat close to the 5% of the population that Asians represent in the United States.  In any case, here’s a little clip of Tom Brokaw that I thought was pretty funny.

This week brings us another quality Prison Break episode.  It also brings us a couple great moments with Roland, Sucre, and of course T-Bag.  I really like how they add in comedy without breaking from the serious tone of the series.  They do a good job of insinuating one thought while the reality is another, and this works well with both how Michael solves puzzles as well as all the bits of comedy thrown in.  Here’s a short compilation of Roland’s contribution this week.

Prison Break, Where Bellick is Only Useful for Having a Tantrum

Another week, another good Prison Break episode.  You can’t ask for more from the writers than finding a use for Mr. Brad Bellick.  Somehow he found a way to do something for the team although Sucre can probably do just as good a job as evidenced when he stopped short in front of the first Scylla cardholder a couple episodes ago.  How come neither of those two get to do any of the cool stuff like Lincoln?  All three of them are probably about as smart as each other, so why can’t Lincoln clean a carpet or have a tantrum at a ticket counter?  Lastly I have a little clip for everyone, another “Cole Pfeiffer” special.
