They're sharp-witted enough for any young adult in need of a constant flow of sarcasm, and they're inspirational enough to help any dad update his tired old dinner-table standup routine. These shows are among the funniest around, and that makes you the best gift-giver of the year!
DVDs for the Joker
Scrubs - The Complete Third Season
Everyone loves Scrubs, but this DVD set definitely makes a very appropriate present for a beloved family member who has just wrapped up an exhausting few years in medical school. Zach Braff and his cohorts succeed in showing us the funny side of life in a hospital--which is something any young doctor can appreciate.
Mystery Science Theatre 3000 - Season Nine
There's nothing funnier than ripping on a really lousy movie with your robot buddies, right? Join Joel, Crow, and Tom Servo on the Satellite of Love as they rip to shreds four of the crummiest movies ever made using the most powerful weapon known to man--sarcasm. This DVD includes introductions to Women of the Prehistoric Planet and The Sinister Urge by the, uh, "stars" themselves!
3rd Rock From the Sun - Season Four
A group of alien beings set out to study our Earth in the guise of humans--with all the emotions, physical needs, and messy bodily functions of real human beings. Hilarity ensues. A great ensemble cast and special appearances by the one and only William Shatner as "The Big Giant Head" made this one of the funniest TV shows ever. This DVD set includes an interview with Jane Curtain, a blooper reel, and a 16-page booklet about the show!
The Bob Newhart Show - Season Three
Bob Newhart is funny because he isn't funny, and we think that's pretty funny. Remember back in the '70s when Bob Newhart played Bob Hartley, a successful Chicago psychologist with a lot of wacky patients? No? Well, your dad does, and he likes deadpan humor. This DVD set contains a "making of" featurette and commentary by Bob Newhart himself!
The Cosby Show - Season Two
Doctor Heathcliff Huxtable might be one of the funniest TV dads of all time. He certainly had a lot of funny sweaters. If you're a grad and you bought your dad a funny sweater for his birthday, now's your chance to redeem yourself. This DVD set features bloopers, an interview with the show's director, and, for all you dads and future dads, "Cliff's Parenting Tips."
