Adam "Ghost Panther" McKay's Picks

 

My picks from the week of July 13

 
Tostitos Dream from WeekendWarriors
Tostitos Dream (01:52)
Why I love it:
This video has no celebrities, no topical joke, and a gun. I like it.
 

My picks from the week of June 15

 
Step Brothers Red Band Trailer from Will Ferrell, John C Reilly, Adam "Ghost Panther" McKay, and Richard Jenkins
Step Brothers Red Band Trailer (02:32)
Why I love it:
This might be the funniest Ferrell and Reilly have ever been. I'm obviously as biased as they come but still....

Talladega Nights: Never before seen scene with CHRIS ISAAK from ChrisDanBarnes, John C Reilly, and Will Ferrell

My picks from the week of May 11

 
The Problem With Roommates Is...Ep 2 from Leave The Barn Productions
The Problem With Roommates Is...Ep 2 (01:10)
Why I love it:
This completely fooled me... This reminds me of early stuff we did with the Upright Citizen's Brigade. Though we would have chucked that glass at the wall to end it.
 

My picks from the week of May 04

 
I Am Not Mark Twain 2 from StevenCragg
I Am Not Mark Twain 2 (05:40)
Why I love it:
I worked with Steven Cragg at SNL and he is a funny mofo. This character and the POV reminds me of a George Saunders novel.
 

My picks from the week of March 30

 
Bat Phone from Bobby Hacker
Bat Phone (03:28)
Why I love it:
First off, I'm a grown man and I still think crank phone calls are funny. Second, I have two children and I still think a dude in a Robin outfit smoking a cig is funny. Hence this choice. Please do like twenty more of these.
 

My picks from the week of March 16

 
Will Ferrell and Dave Grohl from Judd Apatow and Will Ferrell
Will Ferrell and Dave Grohl (06:58)
Why I love it:
I knew this would be funny but it was ten times better than I thought it would be. Grohl has a deceptively good dead pan.
 

My picks from the week of February 24

 
MTV's Human Giant - Viral Videos from Human Giant
MTV's Human Giant - Viral Videos (03:40)
Why I love it:
I know Ferrell chose a Human Giant video but I don't care. This made me laugh hard.
 

My picks from the week of January 27

 
Accent Elimination Program from Zoo Milk
Accent Elimination Program (01:19)
Why I love it:
That's like a scrapple, egg and cheese sandwich; wrong and yummy.
 

My picks from the week of January 20

 
Bride Has Massive Hair Wig Out from yoyoyo
Bride Has Massive Hair Wig Out (06:08)
Why I love it:
Real or not real? You decide. I don't want to give away my opinion but I want to meet the very talented actresses and filmmakers who wrote and directed this fictional piece.
 

My picks from the week of December 16

 
What If There's Bears? from WillieBHines
What If There's Bears? (02:27)
Why I love it:
This might be my favorite all time video next to Used Cars and What's It Gonna Be. It's like they talked to me while I was sleeping to find out what I want to see in a video. Let's get this to twenty million hits so they're forced to show it on Entertainm
 

My picks from the week of November 18

 
Bill Hicks on Marketing from standupfan
Bill Hicks on Marketing (02:42)
Why I love it:
What ever happened to righteously angry funny comedy? It seems like the more corrupt our country got the less we saw it. Bill Hicks was the king of it. David Cross is good too. As is John Stewart and Colbert. But I love this clip cause it's straight down
 

My picks from the week of October 07

 
Andy Kaufman Trusted You from shoutitout
Andy Kaufman Trusted You (03:41)
Why I love it:
You forget how hard Kaufman was fucking with people. No one was doing anything close to this back then. Except maybe Coyle and Sharpe. Who are also genius.
 

My picks from the week of September 02

 
Bush Zombies from Osama Hitler
Bush Zombies (03:03)
Why I love it:
What if Bush really did have a press conference like this? Would it shock you? Really?
 

My picks from the week of July 22

 
Borman Academy from Jason Allen
Borman Academy (01:19)
Why I love it:
This is the kind of comedy I cheer on while watching. Kinda reminds me a tad of Guile.
 
The Iceman from jbismad
The Iceman (00:37)
Why I love it:
Do you like bad car dealership ads and lame Top Gun references? I do.
 

My picks from the week of June 17

 
Spiders On Drugs from apeman888
Spiders On Drugs (01:38)
Why I love it:
This piece combines drug use, footage of spiders and a deep voiced narrator to make me happy. But then again, when have you ever encountered those three elements and not been happy.
 
Phone Tag from Nick Thune
Phone Tag (05:10)
Why I love it:
Fleisher and Thune do good shit. This one is long but watch it anyway. More please.
 
Arrival from Good Neighbor
Arrival (02:55)
Why I love it:
What makes this short work is the acting. They play it very real and it makes the turn all the funnier.
 

My picks from the week of May 27

 
Future Lebron James from Dgreatest1
Future Lebron James (00:20)
Why I love it:
This is a very NBA fan inside joke. Only Bill Simmons and Marty Blake will find this amusing. But I love that someone had the idea and took time to make the video.
 
Dwayne Campin from johnedale
Dwayne Campin (02:39)
Why I love it:
A nice little piece. At first I thought it was an out take from the Red Shoe Diaries because of the production value but it surprised me. And they get out on a Who song which is always nice.
 
Cynical Dreamer from Kevin Scott
Cynical Dreamer (00:31)
Why I love it:
This piece didn't get it's due. It's really well shot and funny and short and smart. Let's rename it "Hot Lesbian Orgy Fest" and watch the hits pour in.
 

My picks from the week of May 13

 
The Duel from After Work Special
The Duel (06:10)
Why I love it:
I felt like I was watching a combination of Richard Linkletter and Reno 911. It plays like a mini-feature complete with kick ass credits and a samurai sword vs nun-chuks show down. Dare I say "kick ass?"
 
We've All Got Problems from Nathan Barnatt
We've All Got Problems (01:00)
Why I love it:
The expression on the guy who's on the pogo stick is way too intense in a good way. I also love that we never find out exactly why they are doing what they're doing. We assume it's to break a world record but I like to think it's something much stranger.
 
N Word for the White Guy from The Message
N Word for the White Guy (02:22)
Why I love it:
This one has an Up with People delivery style that fits perfectly with it's ugly subject matter. I love the examples of when white people can use the N word.
 
Matthew McConaughey CAN'T get his shirt off!!! from Ross Patterson
Matthew McConaughey CAN'T get his sh... (02:50)
Why I love it:
The shot of the X-Ray makes the whole piece. Plus it's a darn solid impression and the actor doesn't push it too, too far.
