When she's not busy working her way into the finals on Last Comic Standing, comedian Amy Schumer has found time to make some pretty funny videos which can be found on her MySpace page as well as on Black20.com. Our personal favorite of Amy's work might be this video in which she pays a visit to a Chinese New Year's festival and gives you a chance to get to know her a little better.

Hey comedy lovers, just wanted to invite you all to join us on our new Daily Reel Comedy myspace page. Think of it as our home away from home. Or our weekend getaway. Or our vacation digs. Or our myspace page. Whatever.

We don't know the exact number, but it's safe to say there are millions of video blogs out there. It's also safe to say that about 99.9% of them suck. Big time. But...every once in a while you come across one that is genuinely funny and that's the case with Fitzy's Wicked Pissah Webcast.

Starring comedian Nick Stevens as Fitzy (or at least a guy that looks suspiciously similar to Nick), Fitzy's Wicked Pissah Webcast features the ultimate Boston sports fan ranting, raving, drinking and burping about all things Boston sports. He even throws in the occasional movie review and social commentary. It's a great video blog, always funny even if you're not from Boston. And if you are from Boston....well, it has to be the greatest site on the Internet.

The explosion of online comedy videos is relatively recent, but there's already a long line of success stories - particularly when it comes to comedy groups, who seem to be particularly appealing to the Hollywood crowd. First, the boys at Lonely Island took the Net by storm and parlayed it into Saturday Night Live gigs and upcoming movies. The next wave featured Human Giant and the Whitest Kids U Know taking their sketch acts to MTV and FUSE. So, the question now is, who will be the next comedy group to explode into the mainstream media on the heels of internet stardom?

One likely contender is the boys in Blerds (who just created a Daily Reel profile as well), a collective of Chicago comedians and a filmmaker who have taken the web by storm over the past few months. The crew has been featured on just about every video site around, collecting well over a million views for their work - much of which features a unique presentation of their standup material that acts as kind of a mashup of standup and sketch comedy.

The next step for the group is the development of some episodic online series (we hear that deals are currently in the works) as they set the table for what they hope will eventually be a transition to television and/or film projects. Here's a sample Blerds clip if you want to see what all the fuss is about...

Here's a question for you. What sites do you check out regularly when you're looking to find good comedy videos? Does anybody really just randomly troll through the Youtube comedy listings? What sites are best at tipping you off to good stuff to watch?

Check out the Recommended Reading links on Whip It Out Comedy to see a bunch of the stuff that we read regularly. Are we missing any great comedy video sites?

The presidential campaigns for 2008 may be heating up, but the real race to watch is to see who is going to be able to parlay their campaign-inspired comedy into stardom. The team behind Obama Girl obviously jumped out to an early lead, but we've had our eye on a dark horse - the Dan Pederson in 2008 campaign. As you can see from this early video explaining his platform and qualifications, Dan looks like he may be a real man of the people....

Hey "people who like to make funny videos".... I've got a couple comics (one of whom was seen on NBC this week) who are looking to shoot a pretty simple (and pretty funny) American Idol-related video this Saturday, but they need a filmmaker to capture their greatness. Anybody free/interested in spending a couple hours on Saturday shooting a video?

What do you get when you combine a funny premise with some talented actors? Usually a good video. That theory proves true in this commerical for a kids-only dating service done by the Winchester Preparatory Sketch Academy, who you can see performing regularly a the UCB Theater in Los Angeles.

Ok, as some of you may know, my favorite online video of all time is "Christmas Tree." It was made and uploaded by a user named "mittymoo", whom I contacted last winter to get production notes. Alas, I never heard back from mittymoo. He's recently uploaded two videos, one of which is hilarious (the other, "My Son Is Gay," is pretty good but a bit too one-note to stand up to "Christmas Tree." Check out "The Dance," and if you can put me in touch with mittymoo i will buy you all the egg nog you can drink.
