If you are not watching Archer, then you should be. Here is an example why:
If you do watch Archer and also watch Bob’s Burgers, then you will like this mashup of the two (thanks Austin).

mach SNL
For the last while I have been consuming SNL via the clips online the week after. This new season premiere was the first time in a while I have enjoyed more than one or two skits. Probably shouldn’t be a surprise being how much I love Tina Fey, but is also awesome that Mike O’Brien (of Seven Minutes in Heaven with Mike O’Brien fame) is now featured and exploited. This is probably the favorite one:

In Sync
Via Mike (who gives the win to S Merchant):

Irish Invasion
There have been a couple really good Irish exports recently, or I just found them all at the same time. Either way, check these out:
The Guard: In Bruges was a fantastic dark comedy with Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson. When I saw the trailer for The Guard, it looked like someone wanted Gleeson for the same type of role. While Don Cheedle isn’t as good sidekick/lead as Farrell, it is a really good movie.
Moone Boy: I have a theory that Hollywood tried to recreate the popular British show IT Crowd for the US and when that didn’t happen (like it often doesn’t), that same Hollywood tried to put a bunch of money behind the guys of that show instead. So then Chris O’Dowd is in Bridesmaids and that blows up, so he is all of a sudden is in a bunch of places. Though I watched the entire season of Family Tree, it is not nearly as good as his show Moone Boy. Hulu calls it an “Exclusive Hulu Series”, which apparently means they found it first from Irish tv.
Grabbers: I have only seen the trailer so far, but thought it was funny enough to post. It is a comedy/horror movie (hor-com?) that is “an alien-invasion story with a twist: Residents of a small Irish fishing town learn the only way they can fight off killer extra-terrestrials is by staying drunk.” Maybe I am just excited about The World’s End and grouping them together, but it looks interesting. Here is the trailer:
