Second City. Hysterics ensue.
Canada has been really fun, especially with Kelsey here. On Sunday night, we went to the Second City comedy club. If you don't know what that is, it's where Mike Myers, Jim Carrey, Martin Short all those HILARIOUS SNL guys got their start. It's wierd watching all these comedians because in...five years, ten years they could be the next Jim Carrey. It's cool. Anyhow, we saw this comedy show called The Facebook of Revelations. It was sooo funny, it was more of a Saturday Night Live, just like a complilation of sketches. Though, they did sing this song Jesus is On Your Facebook--which was hilarious considering how often I'm on Facebook (every fucking hour of the day). So, of course to make the show more interesting they had this one sketch that I assumed was mildly improv because it involved audience participation. The subject of the skit was a local cable talk show, not unlike "Wayne's World" and they had people call in. So at the time, I didn't realize that the people calling into the show were audience members until....I had a microphone in front of my face. I about died. They went "What's your name?"
"Elizabeth"
*Babbling about a connection between the name Elizabeth and Prince William (who they had talked about earlier)*
"Where are you from, Elizabeth?"
"Texas."
"TEXAS!! I didn't Rogers (canadian cable comp.) got all the way down there"
*Proceeds to sing 'Deep in the Heart of Texas'*
"Elizabeth, are you a hillbilly?"
"No."
"So, Elizabeth--if you were to get a merit, or a medal for something, what would it be?"
"Uhm...I guess for knowing movie trivia."
"OHH, can I quiz you?"
"Sure..."
"Ok so in Predator...no Predator 2."
Other guy- "No one's seen Predator 2, is there a Predator 2?"
"Fine, in Predator, what famous action star acts in it?"
Me-"Arnold Schwarzenegger"
*I wish I could remember what the punchline was here, he said something like NO, its ________ somebody Canadian... I was laughing too hard*
"You're smart Elizabeth, I was trying to throw you for a loop there. Thank you for calling."
Later, they pull out a book about DVD's and make a comment about how "Elizabeth would enjoy this"
I guess you had to be there is was quite hilarious. My head hurt a little bit from drinking some of my dad's "Late-Night Lemonade", which is basically lemonade and vodka. I was also laughing hysterically--that could have added to it.
I saw Hairspray yesterday, pretty much amazing. I am marrying Zac Efron if it's the last thing I do. Him, or Shia Labeouf. Or maybe one of them will be my starter husband and I'll take Elizabeth Taylor's place. Elizabeth Lefebvre Efron Labeouf. Has a nice ring to it. Today we're doing some touristy stuff, going to a shoe museum, which sounds lame but I hear is actually really cool. I'm going to go eat!!
