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.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
