Funny Site of the Day -- "The Lowercase a-Team can help you with any problem, big or small ... but they prefer small," promises host Break.com.

The video contains a tiny -- well, of course -- bit of explicit content.

The Recurring Prop Newspaper

Funny Site of the Day -- Something fascinating, found at /Film:

If you watch enough television shows and movies, then you might even start to notice that a bunch of the same props are used over and over again. ... Someone on Reddit recently put together a compilation of photos from various television shows, commercials and movies, showing how one newspaper prop gets around and is reused, and reused again.

Notice the photos included here to illustrate the collection. Actor Ed O'Neill reads the same news on "Married ... With Children" and many years later on "Modern Family."

Speculation is the recycled newsprint has become an insiders' joke and will be as timely tomorrow and next year and the following decade. I'd just like to read the comics section.

'Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld'

Funny Site of the Day -- My first reaction to TV's "Red Eye," having clicked into it late, late, early, early one morning was, "What the--? How in the world did this show get on the air?"

Soon, I was hooked and finding reasons to stay out of bed until three o'clock rolled around for the nightly panel of celebrities and pundits, party chatting on current events and pop culture. All involved are commissioned with the solitary task of making each other laugh. Voices from across the political spectrum join host Greg Gutfeld for outrageous stories, audacious insults, sexual innuendo goodness, and improbably precious animal footage.

Surprising cable outlet, the Fox News Channel, presents the program. A multitude of video highlights clips are posted and updated regularly at the official online home, or you may skip over to Hulu to view complete recent episodes.

If you can't lurk in the dark until near dawn to catch the series over the air, set your DVR to record the infectious festivities. They hold up well to lunch, part of my daily nutrition.

Shaun the Sheep

Funny Site of the Day -- Aardman Animations, the excellent stop-motion cartoon makers and business partners of superstars Wallace and Gromit, has another fine, lighthearted series underway for television. Meet Shaun and his homies, invites Aardman:

Shaun is a sheep who doesn’t follow the flock – in fact, he leads them into all sort of scrapes and scraps, turning peace in the valley into mayhem in the meadow. Shaun and his pals run rings around their poor sheepdog Bitzer, as he tries to stop the Farmer finding out what’s going on behind his back. The show also introduces a farmyard-full of new characters, including the Naughty Pigs, Timmy the baby lamb and the enormous Shirley, a sheep who eats anything and everything.

At the official Shaun the Sheep site, there's sheer fun found in the numerous video clips. Grab some goodies like email cards and desktop wallpapers. Plus, there is a farm full of related games and activities, including Home Sheep Home, Hide 'N Sheep, Woolly Jumper, Shaun Sudoku, Yogurt Mayhem, Spot the Difference, and Shaun's Bleat Box.

Betty White on 'Saturday Night Live': Every Single Sketch

Update: Full "Saturday Night Live" Episode with Betty White Episode (minus musical guest) via NBC.com

Funny Site of the Day -- My recollection is Betty White was my earliest TV sweetie. I'm talking age 4 or 5, me, not Betty.

Her wildly popular resurgence of the moment is a particular delight. I'm talking age 88 1/2, Betty, not me.

Her long awaited debut on "Saturday Night Live" has finally occurred. I'm talking 35 years, "SNL," not Betty, not me.

Mashable, The Social Media Guide, has done us all a fine service by tracking down video clips and extras related to her episode.

"NBC and Hulu have both posted videos from the various sketches that ran during the show, plus some backstage peeks, promos, and web-exclusive sketches from the dress rehearsal. We’ve gathered all the videos we could find and brought them into one place for you to enjoy.

The episode was hosted by White, but it also played host to numerous female luminaries from "Saturday Night Live’s" past, including Tina Fey, Rachel Dratch, Amy Poehler, and more. You’ll see them reprise classic roles in several of the videos below. Note that these NBC and Hulu-hosted videos are only viewable in the United States."

Watch while you can because the video clips may be available for a limited time only.

'Seinfeld' Horror Trailer

Funny Site of the Day -- We didn't start out to have a "Seinfeld" weekend, but the bits just keep on coming, as seen in this frightful spoof of the modern horror film genre, mashed-up with reedited footage from a certain sitcom.

No one is safe while a serial Kramer is on the loose.

'Seinfeld' Movie Trailer: 'George'

Funny Site of the Day -- Here's one of those TV sitcom coincidences occurring in real life. I featured "Daily Seinfeld" less than 24 hours ago and now this new "Seinfeld" movie trailer has splashed itself across my monitor.

And it's just not right. Comic schlub George Costanza's life has been recut into a fuzzy, Hollywood drama.

--*Gasp!* "George" might even be a chick flick!

Add schmaltzy music to cleverly reedited "Seinfeld" footage with Jason Alexander and Heidi Swedberg as Susan, and you have an emo weepfest.

Add a red nose and it might even be "Patch Adams 2!"

Nahhh, but we can scream, cant we?

'News FAILS' TV Bloopers

Funny Site of the Day -- This choice compilation package of on-the-air tongue mishaps and/or bad avenues of journalists' conversation made me laugh several times. From an assortment of local broadcasts, ABC-TV, and cable's Fox News, the notorious Jennifer Lopez flub by Shepard Smith is included in the mix. I recall hearing that one live and nearly dropped my sandwich. Adult content.

The Flintstones Channel

Funny Site of the Day -- When I began writing the humor Web sites column at The Mining Co., which morphed into today's About.com, the very first featured destination was a behind-the-scenes look at TV's "The Flintstones," presented by Cartoon Network. Things have changed since 1998 and that cute collection has disappeared along with Fred and Barney and Wilma and Betty over CN's air.

In this, the current Stone Age, "The Flintstones'" official online presence is found at KidsWB.com and majorly improved with not only the presence of free videos, but there are full episodes of the Bedrock sitcom ready to see right now. 20, count 'em, 20!
