I’m really enjoying Better Off Ted. Not too many triggers of my embarrassment squick, and some really funny lines. Ted on his strained relationship with his father: “We’re like oil and—what’s that thing that’s always disappointing oil?” Clever like that. (And, hey, I learned a new word for that: paraprosdokian.)
Miles Fisher: This guy is weird, and I like three of the four songs on his free EP. For one—a cover of the Talking Heads’ This Must Be the Place—he has a music video, also freely downloadable, in which he does a creditable impression of Christian Bale in American Psycho, and the combination of the song with the images of 80s excess and sociopathy produces a deeply disturbing fanwork.
