I first saw today’s 2 Funny on Nickelodeon’s Turkey Television in the late 80’s. Yeah, the show’s name was embarrassing, but I think it was pretty fun and potentially interesting concept: Nick tried to do the same thing MTV was doing (at the time) with music videos, but with comedy clips from all around the world; not a bad idea, actually, maybe some other channel like TBS or Comedy Central could pick up the slack. Anyway, with Maryland getting dumped on by a wintry mix (again!), I yearn for the opportunity to just screw around in the streets of California like the band in this video. Enjoy “K Goes Surfing” by the Question Men.

2 Funny: “Electricity”
For no particular reason today’s 2 Funny focuses on electricity.
First up, another installment of The Funny Company. (We like this cartoon. Deal with it.) The club’s resident genius Jasper N. Park…

“I get it!”
…Edutains us on how power works, in a short titled appropriately, “Electricity”.
You know, it’s a good thing this is a cartoon, otherwise the landscape would’ve been peppered with Belly Laguna Paprika, aka a new paint color named Hint of Dork.

“Worst. Cartoon. Villain. Ever.”
While we’re on the subject of electricity and edutainment, here’s a bonus track: the band Goodness performing “Electricity, Electricity” from the album Schoolhouse Rock Rocks!.
-Say, how about a dose of Debbie Gibson’s “Electric Youth” while we’re at it?

-Yeah, probably best to leave it there.
2 Funny: The Eradicator!
Today’s 2 Funny is another gem from the Canadian comedy troupe The Kids in the Hall. Bruce McCollough plays a man who’s seriously dedicated to reaching the top of the D Squash ladder. Let the carnage begin! Enjoy “The Eradicator”.
2 Funny: Truth is Out of Style
Wouldn’t it be great if someone spouted totally fake, completely not true words of wisdom and sound advice on achieving money, power, success and happiness, done as a rap number performed by a ventriloquist dummy? Thankfully someone did. Enjoy MC 900 Ft. Jesus with DJ Zero’s “Truth is Out of Style”.
2 Funny: Adam Had ‘Em
Today’s 2 Funny is another number performed by Hanna-Barbera studio’s The Banana Splits that I somehow managed to put behind my thoughts but was brought back to the surface courtesy of Hobbyfan and his blog Saturday Morning Archives. To the Splits’ credit, it’s actually a pretty good song. Just make sure that you’re never on the road when Bingo the gorilla is driving. Enjoy “Adam Had ‘Em”.
