Everybody fancies themselves as some sort of wizard that can conjure up laughter by a few strokes of a keyboard, but only a few tweeters are truly worthy enough to have all of their witticisms transmitted to you, the ever busy comedy fan trying to navigate through an increasingly congested internet. Every Friday we'll make your life a little bit easier by introducing you to an individual that you might not know about who consistently makes us laugh and momentarily forget that other days of the week exist.

Congrats to Seth MacFarlane on living out the alternate ending of Season 3 of Louie. And for Lady Gaga.
Lady Gaga turns 26 today. Now she's old enough that Madonna can stop feeding her by chewing up her music and spitting it into her mouth. But questions what a Carly Rae Jepsen actually is.
