I'm a comedian and writer living in New York City. I write for College Humor and do standup nightly around the city. Ask me a question.

Hardly Working: Script Meeting

The writers assign roles for their latest smash viral video masterpiece.

Forgot to post this one when it came out, which is dumb because I am really proud of it. Written by myself and Owen Parsons, directed by Paul Briganti.

Patton Oswalt on Joke Theft, Heckling, and Rape Culture →

Sometimes by saying a great thing you also do a great thing. Here Oswalt has done both. Teaching us the rest of us how to think, be humble, and grow since whatever year he was born. Really great.

Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.

fuckyeahawesome asked: Hi Adam- Months ago you had a post about how Allen Carr's book helped you quit smoking so effectively that you'd send anyone who wanted to quit a copy. I had just quit at the time, and shortly thereafter started smoking again. Are you still quit, have you had any relapses, and does your free book offer still stand? Thanks!

(Here’s the post in question for those who missed it.)

I’ve never relapsed. I’ll have a cigarette every once in a while when I’m drinking with friends, but there’s a big difference between that and being “a smoker,” which, to me, means an addict. Being a smoker is so incompatible with my lifestyle now that I don’t ever see myself take up the habit again. (And when I do have that one cigarette, I usually dislike it and wish I hadn’t.)

And yes, the offer still stands! Email me your address and I will buy you a copy of the book.
