The Best Comedians Right Now (According to Me) Part 5: John Mulaney

Newsweek

Okay guys…I lied. My good friend Evan was very upset that I didn’t write about his favorite comedian so I decided to write one more article about him. This is going to be a short one though so do not expect a lot of detail. The comedian I’m talking about is John Mulaney. You may or may not know him from his (rather unsuccessful) show Mulaney. It was modeled somewhat after Seinfeld, but just didn’t have the same charm about it. What you probably don’t know about John is that he wrote for Saturday Night Live. To be more specific you may know the character Stefon, played by Bill Hader. Mulaney wrote for him. He tried as hard as he could to make Hader laugh by writing last minute lines that weren’t in the dress rehearsal. Here is an example...

He also has two stand-up specials. The first was in 2009 and it was called The Top Part and the second one was in 2012; it was called New in Town. New in Town is on Netflix so definitely check it out if you have the chance. It is pretty hilarious. I have never seen all of The Top Part, but I have seen parts of it and my friend Evan tells me it is great. Even though I did not think about him before, John Mulaney is definitely a really funny guy that deserves your attention. He just is not somebody I necessarily think about because he doesn’t do a whole lot. Do yourself a favor and think about him more often than I do. You won’t regret it.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

202

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
