Comedy Central just announced the nominations for their first ever Comedy Awards, which will air on the network April 10th. We know what you’re thinking: Just what the world needs, another awards show. But thanks to the inclusion of TV shows like It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Eastbound & Down and films like Cyrus and Tiny Furniture, it promises to be a much different (read: more interesting) crowd than we typically see at these kind of events. Plus, Stephen Colbert, Seth MacFarlane, Adam McKay, Conan O’Brien, Joan Rivers, Chris Rock, Jon Stewart, and Lily Tomlin were all on the nominating committee — so that’s got to count for something. Click through to view the list of nominees, and let us know your picks to win in the comments. … Read More
Yes, the glare from the flash is a little annoying, but isn’t this image fantastic?! Obviously, we have a few questions: 1. Did you know that Stephen’s middle name was Tyrone? 2. What exactly is the “Rowdy Club”? 3. How cute is Stephen’s favorite saying? (Although we’re not buying that sad loner routine for a… Read More
So, Comedy Central has a new logo. They were certainly due for a makeover, considering how dated their long-running Earth/buildings icon feels these days. But, as Deadline points out, it also looks a hell of a lot like the “copyright” symbol. According to the network’s creative director, Bob Salazar, the new look “is the irreverent wink of Comedy Central.” The logo is part of a larger redesign project geared toward updating the channel’s look and integrating well with social media. See how the new logo compares with the current one after the jump and tell us whether you think it was an improvement in the comments. … Read More
Remember when every brand was racing to get on Twitter? While its numbers continue to grow, for most companies, Tumblr remains an unexplored frontier. Some guesses at why: People are confused by what it is exactly. They’re not sure how to translate their product into a blog — let alone one that expands, rather than weakens, their brand. Communicating with your community can be intimidating. But in spite of the challenges, there are some people out there doing it right. After the jump, we’ll look at 10 big brands on Tumblr, and tell you whether or not we think they deserve a follow. … Read More

Thanks to our eagle-eyed friends over at Vulture, you can now get a sneak peek at the first 90 seconds of the new Futurama, which debuts tomorrow night at 10pm on Comedy Central. Beyond that, we’ve been told that you can expect episodes involving social media snafus, the fight to legalize “robosexual” marriage between human and robots, and Al Gore. Never watched the show before? None other than Zapp Brannigan summarizes the first five seasons in just seven minutes after the jump. … Read More
Don’t even think about airing a cartoon about Jesus. That’s the message an absurdly large coalition of Christian groups are sending Comedy Central in response to the announcement that it has greenlighted a show called JC. Now, these religious leaders haven’t actually seen it yet. In fact, Comedy Central is not yet shooting the series and hasn’t even come forward with a premiere date yet. But apparently conservatives have nothing better to do than try to stop a cable channel from producing a show that may or may not ever air. … Read More
When you’re in the humor business, you know you’re doing something right when you offend people. Take Comedy Central, for example: The Daily Show and Colbert Report offend red staters. The Man Show offended feminists. And, of course, South Park has offended just about everyone by now (most recently Muslims). So, now that the network has announced its full slate of new 2010-2011 programming, we have to ask ourselves: Who’s going to be offended? After the jump, we predict which groups will be writing angry letters about Comedy Central’s most promising series and pilots of next year. … Read More
By now, everyone knows that Comedy Central’s ‘South Park’ is renowned for its ability to make controversial paper cut-outs that relentlessly push the envelope. (“Come out of the closet, Tom!”) But for those of you who watched last night’s episode “201″ (a continuation of last week’s “200″), you may have been a bit confused by the bleeps and image blocks surrounding the animated version of the Prophet Muhammad (and in a bear costume, no… Read More
