This Guy's Pretty Damn Funny

I don't know if he's Will Folks Funny, but he'll do for you morons.

Yesterday in my Law and Order cliches thread, a commenter linked John Mulaney's bit about Law and Order cliches. Very funny. (The last joke is a bit too much set-up for a good payoff -- a good one, but still too much set-up -- so you might just want to listen through the taxonomy of cliched characters on Law and Order.)

He's got that old-timey 1930s style voice/delivery I dig. Another comic I like, Dan Naturman, does that too. Maybe I have a bias towards the 30's motor-mouth palaver.

But anyway, back to John Mulaney. Never heard of him until yesterday, but wound up listening to his whole show on YouTube. Very funny stuff. Here are some of the best clips in the batch (mild content warning for some occasional f-bomb and, uh, what HBO calls "Adult Content and Adult Situations"):

Accidentally chasing a woman in the subway at 2 am.

He discusses his problems with the way crime stories are presented in tabloid newspapers like the Post.

This one destroyed me -- First part is math, which is pretty funny, second part is his quibbles with the story of King Solomon and the disputed-parentage baby ("Cut it down the middle").

If you like those the other ones are good, too; but these are the ones that had me laughing out loud.

And This One... Blacking out and making money.
