Seven Outrageous and Iconic David Cross Moments
They say the pen is mightier than the sword. If that's the case, David Cross's pen is mightier than a lightsaber or a railgun. The veteran stand-up comic has been using his sardonic wit to poke at society's sacred cows ever since he burst onto the L.A. comedy scene in the early '90s. Sacred or profane, it's all fair game to him. So, in honor of Cross's new book (and tour): here are but a few of his finest moments to date:... read more

There's something satisfying about seeing two heavyweights slugging it out, something about the grandiloquence of conflict between two binary opposites writ large. Ali Vs. Frazier. The Celtics Vs. The Lakers. Obama Vs. Clinton. Abbott & Costello Vs. Frankenstein. This world of epic matchups is poised to add another brawl to its ranks: Odenkirk Vs. Rogue Wave.

Well, it looks like Rogue Wave has responded with a salvo of their own, leaving little... read more

Late Friday evening, Alvin and the Chipmunks star David Cross made a big announcement on the website he shares with his Mr. Show co-creator, Bob Odenkirk—after 10 years apart (artistically speaking), the comedic geniuses will reunite this spring to film a pilot for HBO. Not that the two men haven't been busy during their alone time. Cross released a couple of comedy albums on Sub Pop, stole innumerable scenes as Tobias Fünke on Fox's similarly cult-worshipped and soon-to-be-feature-filmified Arrested Development and portrayed "Anna Nicole Smith's" "lawyer" on Law & Order: Criminal Intent, while Odenkirk directed a few underappreciated movies and,... read more

The stars of Bob Odenkirk’s Derek & Simon: The Show shorts are just “two guys hitting on girls,” but with Odenkirk behind the wheel you can rest assured that the guys’ feeble attempts will reach levels of hilarity unmatched by everyday passes at love. In one episode called “Pity Card,” produced in conjunction with HBO and featured on the second issue of McSweeney’s Wholphin DVD quarterly, Simon takes a girl on a date to Washington DC’s Holocaust museum, rattling her sheltered notion of humanity and earning him some awkward sympathy points. The battle for female affection continues in subsequent episodes... read more
