Beginning today, the work week will be funnier thanks to a daily jolt of jest from ComedySmack—a free e-mail newsletter that discovers and delivers hilarious, side-splitting items five days a week. The daily blasts are siphoned from the constantly expanding and mutating landscape of Internet comedy sites, and showcase the best in comedy web-shorts, films, television, books, comedy CD releases and sketch/improv group live shows. From Caroline’s to The Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre to the newest YouTube and Funny or Die video and back to The Sarah Silverman Program—ComedySmack covers it all.
For its grand premiere, Comedysmack has partnered with UGO.com (UnderGroundOnline) to premiere exclusively one of the site’s most original features of 2007, Minotaur vs. Centaur. Comedysmack will unveil the hysterical feature, which shows a whole new side to well-known celebrities. UGO’s Minotaur v. Centaur was born in an attempt to catch practiced celebrities off-guard by asking them an offbeat question. During an otherwise “normal” interview these unsuspecting celebs were asked the following question: who would win in a fight–a Minotaur armed with a trident or a Centaur armed with a crossbow. Celebrities faced with this difficult choice include George Clooney, Josh Hartnett, George Lopez, Ozzy Osbourne, and Tiger Woods. UGO.com will link back to Comedysmack.com to announce the premiere issue on their homepage.
ComedySmack also invites subscribers to spread the mirth to their friends with its easy- to-use “Get Smacked” option, and they can share funny stuff with the ComedySmack editors by using the “Smack Us” tab. These features are located in the email and on the web site, which includes the complete ComedySmack archive.
