1. Thanks go to to Topless Robot this week for sharing the greatest improv show of all time.

<p>1. Thanks go to to <a href="http://www.toplessrobot.com/2010/01/improv_on_infinite_earths.php">Topless Robot</a> this week for sharing the greatest improv show of all time. Edmonton based improv crew <a href="http://www.rapidfiretheatre.com/">Rapid Fire Theatre</a> recently put on a Hallowe&#8217;en performance as classic DC comic characters. Not just dressed as the characters mind you, but <strong><em>completely</em></strong> in character. Basically it&#8217;s the greatest/nerdiest improv performance of all time. Check out all 7 parts on the Tyrant Pictures youtube account <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/tyrantpictures">here</a>.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know about you, but it totally reminds me of the fantastic &#8220;Legend of the Superheroes&#8221; variety show from the 70&#8217;s. Below is a clip from the show of &#8220;Ghetto Man&#8221; roasting the Superfriends.</p>

<p>Time for a &#8220;Legends of the Superheroes&#8221; revival? I think so. Thoughts?</p>
<p>2. What do you get when you cross Tom Selleck, a waterfall and a sandwich? <a href="http://selleckwaterfallsandwich.tumblr.com/">COMEDY GOLD!</a><br />
Check out the link above for the brilliant new tumblr blog Selleck Waterfall Sandwich. Half way down the page you also get treated to the official Selleck Waterfall Sandwich soundtrack.</p>
<p>3. Pocket monsters or ancient japanese demons? You decide:</p>

<p>Gorgeous! I&#8217;ve included the lower res versions above, however I highly recommend checking out the incredible high-res version at the artist&#8217;s (nojo?) site <a href="http://blog.livedoor.jp/agraphlog-asamegraph/temp/pokehyaku.html">here</a>. Almost makes you want to get a Lickitung tattoo! No? Just me? All right then, moving on&#8230;</p>
<p>Until next time internetz!</p>
