Crazy Eye Donation

It's good to see Krazee-Eyez Killa branching out.  Maybe you've seen his subway ads for the Eye Bank of New York.

What's next Michael Chiklis for the Hair Club for Men?

Click through for their TV ad.

In reality, Chris and his sis have come together to honor their father, Milton Williams who "was a gifted music teacher for over 43 years, right here in New York. And his greatest lesson was that of being an eye donor. When he passed away, he gave the beautiful gift of sight. It only takes a minute to sign up to be an eye donor. Do it today."

This is, of course, completely lovely but I can't help but think of this classic clip from Curb Your Enthusiasm. (Larry David is also genius here)

[WARNING - DO NOT (!) click on this video unless you are prepared from some serious off-color, offensive and hilarious language.]

 

I didn't realize how much I missed that show until now 

I hate to be the guy who poops on the snark, but I think it's pretty cool that their dad donated his eyes and that they honored him by doing an ad about it.

Full disclosure: I've never liked Curb Your Enthusiasm

Man, you dagbloggers are a little uptight, no?

Plus, I did note that it was "completely lovely" and included all of the stuff about their dad.

Geez.

What, you didn't see the picture of me decked out in full body orange flair? I'm just a pain the ass. Ask Orlando.

No comment. 

we all know there's something wrong with G, and we didnt need to some pic of him in a fruity carnivale costume to know that. I mean, how can anyone not like Curb??

See, that's the tyranny of Curb. It's one of those supposed cultural yardsticks, like NPR. If you're liberal and intellectual, you're supposed to listen to NPR, particularly This American Life. And if you're irreverent and sophisticated, you're supposed to find Curb hilarious. If you don't, you just haven't watched enough episodes. Well dammit, I don't want to watch any more episodes. Larry David bugs me almost as much as Ira Glass. I hereby declare myself free from overbearing cultural constraints of you small-minded liberal, irreverent, sophisticated intellectuals.

Excuse me, I have to go run naked in the street now. After that, I plan to donate my eyes.

Ira Glass bugs you? Do you hate puppies too?

See!!!!!! This is what I'm talking about. Stop oppressing me.

i think if you're not a dullard and have even a sliver of a sense of humor, you're supposed to find Curb hilarious. I don't think being liberal, irreverent or sophisticated are prerequisites, tho i happen to be all three (and stylish and brilliant).

That explains it. I'm a dullard.

PS Though I have no evidence to back up my claim, I suspect that the Curb's audience is predominently white, educated, urban, affluent, and disproportionately Jewish. And liberal. If it had commercials, Priuses would figure prominently.

Larry David is the least funny on-screen performer ever given a screen on which to perform.

I've never seen Curb Your Enthusiasm, but I've never thought Larry David was funny and never thought Seinfield was all that funny either. I used to do my dishes between Friends and ER. But then, I live in the Midwest, which makes me way less sophisticated than you New Yorkers.

I've never liked Seinfeld, but it's not an atrocity, as is Curb.

I am speechless. Utterly speechless. But then i did just write in my latest piece, there's no accounting for taste! 'Never liked seinfeld'?!? Curb 'an atrocity'?!?

We're going to have create some sort of humor poll or ranking list. Something like rank these people in order of funny - Larry David, Jim Carrey, Howard Stern, David Letterman, Chris Rock, Ricky Gervais, Will Farrell, Sarah Silverman, Conan O'Brien, Stephen Colbert, Ellen DeGeneres. Who am i missing? This would be a fascinating discussion

Ok, I'll play: Stephen Colbert Ricky Gervais Chris Rock Ellen DeGeneres David Letterman Conan O'Brien/Will Farrell (tie) Sarah Silverman I can't rank Larry David and Howard Stern. They don't belong on a "who's funny" list. Also, you forgot Margaret Cho. She makes me laugh til I can't breathe.

I'm with Deadman here. I don't even know what to say to the rest of you except do everyone a favor and stick to politics. 

I agree, and further, think Curb Your Enthusiasm is the worst and least explicable TV I have ever seen in my life.

Now everyone is coming out of the closet. A new equality movement for the nation begun right here at dagblog.

Remember, you oppressors, people who don't like Curb are people too!

Yes they are people. Dullards. But people nonetheless.

my dad made me watch that show once. OMGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!! NOTFUNNIEST SHOW EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!! who wants to watch people get mad at some old notfunny nerdfart all the time???????!!!!!!! everyone should just watch saved by the bell reruns instead b/c screech is like the nerdfart guy but he's like a million times more funnier!!!!!!!!
