Here's a video for Water.org, the water crisis non-profit co-founded by Matt Damon, in which Damon holds a press conference to swear off going to the bathroom until developing countries have safe drinking water and sanitation. It features appearances from Pete Holmes, Kate Micucci, Stephen Root, and plenty of other funny people as reporters. This is easily the funniest video about water scarcity you'll see all day (or ever, probably).
When we last checked in with Ms. Garfunkel and Ms. Oates, they were getting over a break up and dressing up cats. Now they're back, singing (and screaming) about how being alone at 31 is 12 zillion times worse than being alone at 29. Both videos raise the question: why isn't everyone always trying to marry both of them? Seriously. Speaking for everyone who writes for or reads this site, Garfunkel or Oates, we'd really like to marry you this weekend, if not sooner. Maybe they'll meet a male musical comedy duo named Simon & Hall, where one plays the bass guitar and the other a baritone ukulele, [...]

Musical comedy duo Garfunkel and Oates (Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci) are the latest to contribute a story to Vulture and UCB's half-animated video series "Pop Culture Memory Lane." Their tale concerns meeting their hero and namesake John Oates, of Hall and Oates fame, and performing a show with him. Unfortunately, Lindhome's mom messed up when filming the set and only recorded the audio. John Oates contacted Garfunkel and Oates on MySpace, but it was 2008, so that's forgivable. I have a feeling that John Oates is still using MySpace, though, wondering to himself, "Where did everyone go?"
