Black History Month is almost over, people, so here’s a fun improv video from Kelsea and her “black friends” Janae and Jen, answering the public’s questions they’ve always wanted to ask black friends. Very funny stuff from my fellow black nerds and friends.

A while back, I was YouTube tagged by HappySlip, and I made a video response. In my video, I tagged 5 other YouTubers and Raven-Symone, who has a YouTube page, to make a video telling 5 facts. One of them, Abigail of Abigail’s X-Rated Teen Diary, has responded and given me a shout-out. So check out this video to see what Abigail’s 5 facts are.

Hopefully, the others will do theirs soon. You hear me, Raven. I’m still waiting on those 5 facts. You could totally tie the video in with the premiere of College Road Trip. I’m just saying.

A while back, I posted about Victor who sang a cover of my parody song, “Buy Mii a Wii.” And we can forget the Chipmunk remix! Well, they’re not alone. Here’s two new “Buy Mii a Wii” singers who made these fun videos on the YouTube thing. Check out YouTube users Changyboi (who replaced “black” with “yellow”) and complexbusters (who apparently has a studio audience). Thanks a lot, guys. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Then there’s this video from bowser233 featuring the crunkest Mario I’ve ever seen. Somebody likes looped animation!

Barack ObamaThere has been a very funny news report going around that Saturday Night Live quickly needs to find someone to portray Barack Obama in political parodies, since the ONLY black cast member on the show, Kenan Thompson, does not fit the role.

How long has Saturday Night Live been on the air?

At one time they had Tim Meadows AND Chris Rock. Another time, Kenan Thompson AND Finesse Mitchell.

Seriously, after being on for so many years, you’d think they would work up the nerve to have more than at most 2 black people on the show.

And Maya Rudolph doesn’t count.

I was reading a comment by BNC fan Anders who told me he accidentally typed his name wrong recently and typed Anerds, or “A Nerds.”

Then it hit me, something I haven’t thought about for a long time. The letters in my first name, Andre, can be rearranged to spell “A nerd!” How cool is that, people? I’m not just a nerd by action, I’m a nerd by subliminal message in my own first name!

That makes the idea of changing this website to AndreANerd.com sound appetizing.

However, I’m certain with that spelling, people would get it wrong and call it “Andrea Nerd.com” and if you’ve seen my 5 Black Nerd Facts video, you know I have a long history of dealing with being called Andrea, and I choose not to go back there again.

Writer’s Strike

So the Writers Guild of America’s strike has officially ended, a deal has been made, and the writers can get back to work on Norbit 2 and a remake of Space Camp.

I’m just kidding, I’m glad the writers are back to work. I need my TV back, people. When Heroes gets replaced by American Gladiators and FOX’s biggest new show involves lie detectors, you know there’s trouble.

I’m also happy because I need new entertainment news as well. I’m tired of Britney, Amy, and Heather Mills. I want real entertainment news like the next Johnny Depp flick or what new cartoon-based movie starring Jason Lee and/or Brendan Fraser is coming out, not that Gary Coleman was secretly married and Miley Cyrus doesn’t wear seatbelts.

So writers, I’m glad you’re back. And you got more money. So you better earn it. If I see one more movie trailer come out that starts with “From the people who brought you Scary Movie,” then I’ll start striking my damn self!

If you want to hear me sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks, there are two ways to do it. One, kidnap me and pump me full of helium (which I wouldn’t recommend because I could get you arrested), or two, listen to this interesting Chipmunk remix of “Buy Mii a Wii” made by YouTube user WoodyRaverDave from the United Kingdom.

And by the way, this is Grammy night. Why wasn’t “Buy Mii a Wii” nominated? I’m just saying.

The thing that’s funny about Hollywood is that you can meet someone who’s a wonderful and strong working actor and not even know it. That’s what happened to me tonight.

I was performing at ComedySportz in Hollywood. It’s a show where two teams play improv games to compete for laughs and points. It’s a totally cool show and you should see it, it’s for all ages. Okay, plug over, back to the story.

One of the games was a guessing game that required me to leave the room. To prove we’re not cheating (cause no one believes in magic anymore), we take an audience member with us.

A young lady volunteered to go out of the room and we stand outside to make small talk.

She introduces herself. Her name is Vanessa.

I mentioned a while back that I have a web/mobile series on The Comedy Time Network called Soul and Son. You can watch the first 5 episodes on ComedyTime.tv.

Well, Soul and Son are back, but for edutainment purposes. The characters have put together special PSA spots for Black History Month. I know what you’re thinking, “How can you make Black History Month funny?” Well, I think we did a pretty decent job.

One of the spots is on YouTube. All of the spots can be found on ComedyTime.tv.

For years, I have been trying to get a full-time career as an actor, but I realize I’ve been doing it all wrong. Instead of taking acting classes, studying the classics, and going on several auditions just to be rejected, what I should have done is:

  1. Be a hype man for a militant hip-hop group.
  2. Completely go the opposite route and ham it up for a celebrity reality show.
  3. Spin-off my own show where 20 hoochies and model wannabes fake-fight for my affections.
  4. Star in my own sitcom.

Flavor FlavStupid, you say? Well, that’s how Flavor Flav did it. Not only is he about to release a 3rd season of Flavor of Love, the man just got his own sitcom on MyNetworkTV.

So now I know I’ve been at this all wrong. First, I’m gonna see if Three 6 Mafia needs a hype man, then I’m starring on Celebrity Rehab 2, then I’ll pitch “Nerd of Love”, and then it’s off to my own sitcom.

Thank you, Flav, for showing me the light. I can’t wait until the day you receive a lifetime achievement awards at the Emmys.
