Mitt Romney appeared alongside Jimmy Fallon on ‘Late Night’ last Friday, and performed with him as they slow jammed the news.
The description for local comedian Brendan Jack’s latest parody simply reads: “We asked men, what do you love about your body. And then they told us.” The results are lovely. Please enjoy this.

Google Glass: we can’t wait to see it. But, we also can’t wait to see how it might fail. The thought of communicating with a device strapped to our faces, whilst still appearing to be immersed in the real world just seems to weird.
The internet has dubbed him “Tippy the Fainting Squirrel”. It’s clear to see why. What’s not clear, however, is precisely why he keeps fainting. Is it a defense mechanism? A bout of illness? Or has he been eating fermented nuts?
Yup, it actually happened. At midnight last night, Gauteng’s multi-billion rand etoll network went live.
Some of Hollywood’s biggest names gathered together on ‘The Late Show With David Letterman’ on Wednesday night, and collectively took the piss out of disgraced ex-mayor Rob Ford.
A week or two ago we posted Kanye West’s original music video for ‘Bound 2’. That got a lot of tongues wagging, not least of all because Kanye appeared to simulate sex with Kim for pretty much the entire video.

Will Ferrell has done it again in his new mini-series, “Spoils of Babylon”. Produced by Ferrell’s own Funny or Die label, it is a truly weird adaptation of a non-existent novel by Eric Jonrosh. Ferrell does play a major part in the series, but only as the voice of Jonrosh. He appears later, however, as the Shah of Iran. Quality.
In yet another magnificent example of art immitating life, what we have here is Australian cricketer, Brad Haddin copping a finger to the eye following a poorly-executed high five by a team mate. The scenario is a direct play-acting of a scene from cult classic radio comedy programme, The 12th Man, which was written and performed by comedian Billy Birmingham.
Full time political analyst and part-time puppet, Chester Missing made an appearance on 2oceansvibe Radio on Friday afternoon. The interview started off well enough, but quickly degenerated into a bout of mudslinging and petty personal attacks.
You’re on the home stretch to your lunch break, and the fifth episode of Oliver Hermanus’ FOBLO (“fear of being left out”) Bulletin has dropped. This week features a brief interview with Steve Hofmeyr, who earlier this week (again) claimed that white people in South Africa are the victims of genocide. For real. FOBLO Bulletin […]
Welcome to Friday! The fourth episode of Oliver Hermanus’ FOBLO (“fear of being left out”) Bulletin has dropped. We were particularly fond of the #socialtruths segment of the show, so keep a sharp eye out for those. FOBLO Bulletin presenter, Anne Hirsch co-hosts the Rhys Woods show on 2oceasnvibe Radio. If you missed last week’s bulletin, […]
In yet another text book example of why it never pays to deviate from the list of prescribed questions when interviewing someone very much smarter and confident than you, Russel Brand effortlessly wrests the conversation away from the news anchors, and embarasses them in front of their own audience.
British actor and comedian Russell Brand has announced that he will be touring South Africa for the first time. His stand-up tour “Messiah Complex” will kick off in August in San Francisco.
Zach Galifianakis came back to Saturday Night Live for his third run at hosting this last weekend, and he nailed it. Our personal collection of favourites includes the opening monologue, the Jennifer Aniston Lookalike Competition, and the Game Of Game Of Thrones Game Show.

Comedians Siv Ngesi and Brendan Murray battle it out in the ring for charity.
Last week Wednesday, Gold Reef City hosted South Africa’s first Comedy Central Roast, which featured Steve Hofmeyr as the subject.

During an Easter radio interview, comedian Nik Rabinowitz upset some listeners with his jokes. Highlights included referring to a “queer Jesus for the gay community” and a “pastor who had a potato stuck up his backside.” This morning the Broadcasting Complaints Commission of South Africa (BCCSA) found complaints accusing these statements as “blasphemous” to be not valid.
Here at 2oceansVibe we’re rather fond of “Eastbound and Down”. We cried big tears when we heard it was to be no more, but fear not! Kenny Powers is set to return to HBO for a fourth season of the comedy series. Why? Because he’s Kenny fucking Powers, that’s why.
Jim Parson, the actor who plays Sheldon on hit U.S. comedy “The Big Bang Theory”, was outed yesterday in a profile of the actor produced by the New York Times as he prepares to lead a revival of 1944 comedy “Harvey” on Broadway.
