Monkey Boners!
Oh. My. God. People. This is freakin’ awesome. This is MADE of awesome. “Awe” and “Some” hooked up at the drive-in one night last spring and this video was born.
Like anyone likely to be reading this blog, I have been missing 30 Rock lately, longing for a new episode and dreading the possibility that there won’t be any new episodes for a long time, if ever, due to the writer’s strike. So I went a cruised around YouTube, doing searches on Tina Fey, and came across the above video, which is from the ASSSSCAT Improv TV special which originally aired on Bravo. And while it sure isn’t the same as a brand spakin’ new episode of the best show on television, it certainly made me laugh pretty hard and filled a little bit of the gaping hole in my comedy world. Watch it now! Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Rachel Dratch, and monkey boners! What else could you ask for? (Well, maybe Alec Baldwin also saying “monkey boners.”) In fact, this video kinda makes me want to make a list of actors and actresses that I would like to hear say “monkey boners.” This list would include Helen Mirren (as Queen Elizabeth and as herself), Philip Seymour Hoffman, Angela Lansbury, Bea Arthur, John Malkovich, Kate Winslet, and Sir Ian McKellen. That would also be made of awesome. Tell me I am wrong!
Still, I would much rather be hearing Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin saying “monkey boners” on a new episode of 30 Rock. But while I am wishing for things that won’t happen this week I’ll also wish for a magically clean house, a winning powerball ticket, and gas for 25 cents per gallon.
