“Is there anything I can do to make it more pleasurable?”

Michael Scott calls Oscar Martinez (The Office) into his office to get his advice on an upcoming medical procedure:

“It is a colonoscopy. In your experience, what should I be expecting, in terms of sensation, or emotions? Is there anything I can do to make it more pleasurable for me or Dr. Chaudry?”

I was reminded of this from a 2006 episode of Ricky Gervais’ podcast.

Drag queen helping conservatives with makeup

Landon Reid describes himself as “Artist, Oddball, Dork, Decorator, Costume designer, reaching across the aisle to help conservatives re-create their favorite makeup looks.” (Can you say “niche”?)

As far as I know I am not personally acquainted with any drag queens. But based on what I’ve seen in films, TV and on YouTube, nobody does bitchy-snarky satire better.

While it’s unlikely Marjorie Taylor Green will ever see the video above, it was viewed 192,000 times in three weeks. Mr. Reid has also re-created the makeup look of Ron DeSantis, Ted Cruz, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Rudy Giuliani and many others. (Side note: he seems to be really good at doing makeup). 

A parody of Creep

This is one of the better parody songs I’ve seen. Production values top-notch, but the cheap suit might be the best part. Had not heard of Don Caron but found this on the Parody Project website:

For over 50 years Don Caron has been active in the entertainment industry as a composer, choreographer, pianist, sound engineer, editor, screenwriter, author, producer, and director. He has composed extensively for orchestra, choir and chamber groups and his music has been performed and heard world-wide.
