I went as Worf for Halloween last year. I'm in a band that plays four hours of Ween songs on Halloween every year. Along with some friends and a parent we made up most of the Star Trek TNG cast and our photo even got picked up by College Humor:

Just power-watched Louie Season 1 via Netflix, which I believe was one of the Roman Gods because of how much I worship it. I expected laffs, and got them, but didn't expect the smart and biting social commentary. The thesis of that show is simple and poignant: Don't be an asshole.
I don't know about that, but he does have a lot of bear-related humor.
For instance, he had this ornamental charm ring hanging from the rear-view mirror of his Blazer for years and I asked him what it was one time.
"It's a 'bear scare'."
Living in Northeast Indiana, I said, "But there aren't any bears around here, Dad."
"Exactly, it's working."
I was really hoping to see this guy as 30 Rock Live guest star:

It looks like she is upset and Abed is consoling her because Abed is awesome like that. Through the clip she tells him that the father wants nothing to do with the baby and, Abed being Abed, sees this as a typical storyline in which a complete stranger gets an estranged couple back together.
The second clip is the initial confrontation with the father and Abed attempting to get him to "man-up" to which he becomes angry and adopts a "nun-ys-bidness" attitude and physically threatens Abed.
The third clip is them having a, mostly, civilized meeting with cooler heads that devolves into more shouting and, of course, triggers the birth of the child.
The fourth clip is them not being able to make it to the hospital in time because, "This baby has to come out NOW!"
The fifth is the reconciliation of the couple.
What really strikes me as the brilliant part of this was how they made it blatant (on re-watch) what was happening in the background through their odd positioning of the closer subjects in the frame but on first viewing it wasn't until the baby being delivered that I caught on because Sherry didn't have any dialogue to draw focus to herself run-on sentence.
I'm kind of glad I didn't finish my entry because Lawblog...geez, what a great track. Not to take anything away from the other entries, which are quite good, but I think he pretty much nails the zeitgeist of this site and the comm(ent)unity.
