Richard Simmons: Comedic Creepmeister

GiggleSugar — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 02:00:00 -0800

Who knew that everyone's favorite spazoid in daisy dukes was a wise guy, too? Richard Simmons made a guest appearance on Whose Line Is It Anyway? and flexed his comedic muscles for the camera. He was well received by the crowd, but I think the other comics on stage were creeped and scarred by the whole ordeal. And by "ordeal," I mean hypersexual, obnoxious nightmare.

The Price Is Drew Carey's Dignity

GiggleSugar — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 12:05:17 -0800

Oh Bob Barker, why did you have to retire and leave us with Drew Carey and his off-color jokes about situations we would never in a million showcase showdowns want to imagine him in? The contestants on The Price Is Right are allowed to be obnoxious, not the host! Note to Drew: Keep the wet dreams between you and your blankie.

I Gotta Go Potty on "The Price Is Right"

GiggleSugar — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 10:00:00 -0700

Here's a clip from Drew Carey's debut season on "The Price Is Right," and let's just say he's no Bob Barker. The following contestant, however, could entertain for hours. She cries that she needs to go to the bathroom, she grabs her crotch, she hoots and howls. Daytime TV is clearly making strides.

GiggleSugar Reader Spotlight: Sweetpeabrina

GiggleSugar — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 15:00:00 -0700

How can you not love someone whose many mottos includes, "Yay! Go me!" I think we have a few things to learn from Sweetpeabrina, who is an actual school teacher, so let the schooling begin!

GS: What’s your motto?
SPB: I have a couple. “In vino veritas.” Mainly because I have this bad habit of drinking wine (mmm... Pinot Noir) and telling people what I truly think. “A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a woman perfected without trials“ was my mantra that helped me get through my divorce to Number 1 Douchebag. And the one that I say at least twice a day, “Yay! Go me!”

GS: Where are you from?
SPB: Atlanta, GA – I love it here. I’ll always be a southern girl at heart. Lately I’ve been aching to get out! I know the grass is always greener (or scorched, in this case) on the other side, but my BFF is in San Diego and my brother is in San Francisco. I need to be in California. My parents are from St. Croix and St. Thomas, USVI, so I also like to claim that as home even though I wasn’t born there.

GS: What do you do?
SPB: I’m a teacher-8th grade, Physical Science. Most people look at me like I’m insane when I say that I really like teaching 13 and 14-year-olds. They are soooo melodramatic. Everything is such a big deal to them. They have this strange sense of humor that makes me laugh. One of my coworkers and I love to find their notes that they write to each other. If we can find one of those notebooks that they write in then pass back and forth, it makes our day. Ohh! My 7th period has me hooked on Potter Puppet Pals.

GS: How would you describe your sense of humor?
SPB: My sense of humor is very sophomoric. I’m really silly and goofy. Much to the amusement of my friends, when I get really excited about something funny and try to tell them about it, I tend to get my words mixed up and out of order. I think that came from when I had my tongue pierced. My brain moves too fast for my mouth.

GS: What’s your favorite GiggleSugar post?
SPB: Cute Alert: French Bulldog Pups! I melt every time I see this! I love the WTFs and the Douchebag posts! And Miss Teen South Carolina. Oh! And the Hiccupping Baby Porcupine was dang cute, too.

GS: Who’s the cutest funny man and funny woman?
SPB: I’d invite Dane Cook over any night of the week. I’m not sure if you can count Drew Barrymore, but she is funny and hot.

GS: Who are your favorite male and female comedians?
SPB: I really like stand up comedians. This will probably change but in the men category I love Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell, Jim Carey, Ron White, George Lopez, and Mitch Fatel (because he likes panties). For the ladies, I like Tammy Pescatelli (because she has class), Margaret Cho, Wanda Sykes, Kathy Griffin, Ellen DeGeneres.

GS: What’s your favorite comedy of all time?
SPB: It’s a tie between Office Space and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. If you haven’t seen either of them, you must rent them this weekend. Have you seen my stapler?

GS: If your life were a comedy, what would it be?
SPB: Definitely Clueless minus the ditziness and the falling in love with my ex-stepbrother part. I don’t have a stepbrother.

GS: Do you look like someone famous?
SPB: When I was little, I looked just like Rudy Huxtable! Now, not so much. I like to imagine I look like Halle Berry, but that’s only extreme wishful thinking!

SPB Free-for-all: I think I’m in danger of becoming addicted to the internet and books. I spend my free time surfing and reading. I’m addicted to HyperSugar. I’m absolutely nuts for LOL Cats. Maybe it’s because I really like my own cat, Gadget, who is curled up next to me right now. I also read a lot. I go through about two books a week, which totally sucks because books can get expensive. I could go to the library but bookstores are so much more fun. I’m totally into Monopoly. I think people’s true colors come out when they play Monopoly. The sweetest person will cuss you out when they land on your properties with hotels. Um.. there’s so much more to add but I’ll stop here. Yay! Go me!

Thanks, Sweetpeabrina!

GiggleSugar Reader Spotlight: Moni B

GiggleSugar — Fri, 23 Mar 2007 15:01:58 -0700

Our GiggleSugar spotlight shines this week on Moni B, shown here standing next to a chicken in a suit and a giant ear of corn (naturally). When she isn't studying her socks off at Brown University as a sociology student, she's posting witty comments on GiggleSugar. (I'm sure she has other activities to entertain her, but this is one of our faves.) Let's hear from her in her own words, and be sure to check out the gallery of images at the end of the interview.

GS: What is your motto?
MB: "I'll be everything you taught me" from "One Sweet Day" by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men in memory of my high school senior English teacher. He died at the end of my first semester of my freshman year of college. He truly believed in me and treated me like I was his own daughter. I took it upon myself to do my best in his honor. (GS: What a touching tribute to his memory, Moni B! He'd be proud.)

GS:Where are you from? MB: Born and raised in Pawtucket, Rhode Island (birth of the American Industrial Revolution!) Now I'm in Providence, RI.

GS: What do you do? MB: I'm a full time college student at Brown University, candidate for a Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology.

GS: How would you describe your sense of humor? MB: A little bit of sarcasm and a whole lot of silly! (GS: Can I steal that as our motto? Sounds about right!)

GS: What's your favorite GiggleSugar post? MB: Best Music Video of 2006- OK GO's "Here It Goes Again" and usually any Family Guy clip...LOVE Family Guy.

GS: Who's the cutest funny man and woman? MB: Hands down: Dane Cook. For woman it's a little harder, but definitely Drew Barrymore.

GS: Who are your favorite comedians? MB: Here are my staples: Robin Williams, Dane Cook, Greg Proops, Mitch Hedberg and Eddie Izzard.

GS: What's your favorite comedy? MB: Too many to mention. A good rule of thumb is if it has anyone from the Frat Pack, I'll dig it. Adam Sandler is also a plus. I also like, Super Troopers and Broken Lizard's Beer Fest. I'm anxiously awaiting Super Troopers 2...which reminds me...I want to go bookmark some Super Troopers clips to spread the giggles!

GS: If your life were a comedy, what would it be? MB: It would probably be based around quirky, silly things that happen to me every day. There's always something amusing that goes on, from blond moments to shared humorous moments with friends and coworkers. (GS: May I suggest Legally Blonde?)

GS: Do you ever get told you look like someone famous? MB: When I was younger, apparently I looked a little like Charlotte Church, but that's the end of it. And that was based on one person. So probably very little significance.

Free-for-all. About me: Moni B = Monica. 20 years old. College student/ dog lover/ reading enthusiast/ sushi addict/ health nut/ tech nerd/ I can't believe I'm doing this instead of doing homework for tomorrow.

GS: When are you online for other readers to chat with? MB: It really varies. I have such a hectic school schedule I hop on whenever I can. Ballpark estimate: usually at night.

Thanks, Moni B!

GiggleSugar Reader Spotlight: Flutterpie

GiggleSugar — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 15:00:00 -0700

Flutterpie has been such a loyal fan to GiggleSugar. It was really great to get to know her through this interview, and I loved her "free for all"! Very thoughtful!

GS: What’s your motto?
FP: It's not really a motto as much as it is a poem. It's called "Everything I Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten." It talks about everything from sharing to looking both ways before you cross the street to how everyone should take a nap.

GS: Where are you from?
FP: I'm a California girl, except I'm not orange.

GS: What do you do?
FP: I am a field representative for Boost Mobile. I went to fashion school and somehow ended up in telecommunications, go figure.

GS: How would you describe your sense of humor?
FP: Sarcastic, a lot of people don't know whether to take me seriously or not. I tell them if you have to choose, go with not taking me seriously.

GS: What’s your favorite GiggleSugar post?
FP: I love the videos that have clips from tv. I don't get to watch it much so when you post something funny, you're saving me the time of finding the remote. I love the Family Guy clips and Fire Marshall Bill with Jim Carrey.

GS: Who’s the cutest funny man and funny woman?
FP: You know, I would say Dane Cook is cute but I don't really find him funny. Sarah Silverman is cute until she opens her mouth and starts spewing profanities. Isn't there some kind law of physics that says you can't be movie star cute and movie star funny because then the world is off balance?

GS: Who are your favorite male and female comedians?
FP: Jay Mohr is hilarious live, although I'm not sure he does stand up anymore. Janeane Garofalo is another one of my favorites, but I'm not sure she does stand up anymore either.

GS: What’s your favorite comedy of all time?
FP: Glitter with Mariah Carey, I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes.

GS: If your life were a comedy, what would it be?
FP: Mean Girls, I truly believe life is just a big high school that we are all trying to fit into.

GS: Do you look like someone famous?
FP: I had a guy call me Drew Barrymore for a whole semester in college. But I think he was just trying to get down my pants.

Flutterpie Free For All: I wasted a lot of time not having a voice. When I realized that it was okay to be smart and to be funny, it was like a whole new world opened up to me. When I started accepting myself for who I was, my whole life changed. When I stopped counting calories and obsessively working out, I suddenly was free to live my life and do the things that I enjoyed, which was not being at the gym but playing outside. It's okay to be the one who laughs the loudest or the one who knows the answer. It's okay to eat some cake because it tastes good. When I sat back and assessed all those things, I realized that life really is good.

Thanks, Flutterpie!

GiggleSugar Reader Spotlight: Suzanne

GiggleSugar — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 15:42:23 -0700

Suzanne is one of GiggleSugar's top talkers and a dynamo on wheels. (That picture below of her with comedian/talk show host Craig Ferguson occurred when she sneaked out of her daughter's bridal rehearsal dinner to attend a book signing so she could meet him. Ha!) She's a riot. Be sure to check out her image gallery at the end of the interview.

GS: What is your motto? Suzanne: “Don’t waste your stress!!! You might really need it someday” - which is my way of saying that some things might seem like they’re going to be a big problem, but in the end they may turn out to be nothing at all… so don’t stress until you actually know you have to!

GS: Where are you from? Suzanne: We Rhode Islanders must be a barrel of laughs, because, like Moni B, I’m from Rhode Island too… born and raised in Providence… Ha! How random is that!

GS: What do you do? Suzanne: My kids always said it was a trick question when they had to fill out forms and say what Mom did. I started out as a registered nurse, then got a job writing and photographing for a newspaper. After that, I was a relocation assistant. My job was to convince executives they’d like to live in Birmingham, AL. We loved it! That was one sweet job! Then I went back to nursing – rehab this time, then hemodialysis. I was not allowed to work when we lived in Paris. Woohoo! Now, I run a ladies’ accessory business that I started with three of my 4 children.

GS: How would you describe your sense of humor? Suzanne: Ridiculous, impulsive and out of control!

GS: What’s your favorite GiggleSugar post? Suzanne: Today’s… no really, I’m still laughing at the Nigerian Scam video. I get those emails every day. Who doesn’t!?! The letters are as dramatic as that video depicts. The letters themselves crack me up. They try to sound so real in their own broken English, terrible spelling, and atrocious grammar kinda way!

GS: Who’s the cutest funny man and woman? Suzanne: Heck, I don’t know!?! My grown kids--they always keep me laughing!

GS: Who are your favorite comedians? Suzanne: Now don’t laugh, but I really like Craig Ferguson. (GS: I have a major crush on him, Suzanne. We're going to have to fight for him!) Suzanne: I’ve liked his humor from the start. Well, maybe not when he was on Drew Carey, but on his late night show. I just find him funny! What can I say!? I like that he stood his ground to not bash Britney and I saw his kind heart the night he spent the entire monologue talking lovingly about his father who had just passed away. I also really like SNL’s Rachel Dratch. We saw her regularly when she was part of Chicago’s Second City’s main stage. We loved her humor then and still do now!

GS: Thanks, Suzanne!
