If you haven't seen "Funny or Die's" popular culture game show "Billy on the Street," then you probably don't recognize the name, Billy Eichner. However, if you've watched NBC's "Parks and Recreation," then you might recognize the name Craig Middlebrooks – better known as Crazy Craig. Still confused? Take a look at some of Craig Middlebrooks' best scenes and then come back.

"Billy on the Street" brings the essential nature of Craig Middlebrooks to the streets of New York City, where Billy quizzes random passerby's on the latest in pop culture. Billy's erratic behavior and outlandish responses to random men and women on the streets of New York are shocking and hilarious, both to the viewer and the innocent participant. In no particular order of preference, here are some of the many times Eichner made our abs hurt from laughing – that's considered a workout right?

1. When he made Michelle Obama, a.k.a. #FLOTUS, push him around a grocery store while he read Gwyneth Paltrow's acceptance speech.

2. When he took Amy Poehler caroling around the streets of New York City.

3. When Billy paid this stranger a dollar after he admitted that he thinks Jimmy Fallon is the best talk show host in front of Seth Meyers.

4. When Billy and Lindsay Lohan smashed a "How I Met Your Mother" decorated car in spite of the show ending.

5. When Billy harassed innocent civilians by playing a lightning round of "Would You Have Sex With Paul Rudd?" with Paul Rudd.

6. When Billy encountered a woman who couldn't name another woman in the lightning round of "Name a Woman."

7. When Billy not-so-subtly called out the issues of cultural appropriation.

8. When Billy told Drew Barrymore what Drew Barrymore would like in a game of "Would Drew Barrymore Like That?"

9. When Billy introduced his favorite civilian Elena to her favorite person, Michelle Obama.

10. When he had Julianne Moore act for the money of tourists on the streets.

Also, see "Anna Kendrick vs. Katy Perry's Cat."

If these perfect examples didn't convince you enough that you need to watch "Billy on the Street," then I don't know what will.

Four seasons in, "Billy on the Street" has pushed a new kind of comedic envelope. The traditional game show setting has changed drastically over the years, leaving the audience-filled studios and taking to the streets of New York City. Billy catches people in their most natural and honest moments, showing us the essence of human nature that the show is built around.

Watch here or every Wednesday night at 11 or 10 p.m. central and 11:30 or 10:30 p.m. central on TruTV.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
