Don't forget to vote in the American Comedy Awards

The show is May 15 on NBC and you have until March 18 to cast your vote. There are too many great nominees to list here, so go check it out and make up for the fact you didn't vote for Obama the second time, I mean, he was gonna win anyway, right?

Joe Mande: Bitchface reviewed

By CNTributor JM Cook

When I saw that Joe Mande -- known for his stand-up, Twitter prowess and work on "Parks and Recreation" -- was releasing a comedy mixtape I had many questions.

What is that?

That was my only question, actually.

Turns out, it is an interesting hybrid of a hip-hop mixtape and a traditional stand-up record. Who would have thought?!

A summary: this is a very funny album. It's worth the $5 on iTunes and I would certainly pay to see this tour (which hits Canada, the northeast and Pacific northwest, screw you middle America!) if it came close to me.

The album is streaming at Complex Music at the moment and I'd very much recommend listening to it.

"Bitchface" weaves in traditional hip-hop mixtape tropes (skits, drop-ins by people, a constant reminder that this is a mixtape) with Mande's stand-up.

Some of the best parts of the album are where Mande subverts these mixtape expectations. For example, during the album's outro, Mande gives shoutouts to a million random people ("Shout to Dr. Conrad Murray, shoutout to Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, Dr. Sanjay Gupta") and it's funny enough that I would listen to him give shoutouts for 20 minutes.

If you've followed Mande's performances on late night talk shows, the material will be familiar. There's his "the first guy to milk a cow" bit and his riff on how crazy our Instagrams would be if they were developed photos.

One of the album's best moments is "Somalis" where he goes from trying to explain lakes ("It's fresh water filled with food") to a person from Somalia to explaining cold, then humidity, then eventually electricity ("Dude, I don't know. First you have to harness the power of the river? Then that turns into lightning you can control with your fingertips").

Hip-hop and stand-up comedy have always been close cousins and on "Bitchface" Mande finds a way to bring them even closer.

I normally hate pranks but when the target is TV news it is fair game.

All you need to know is a guy tricked cable news shows into letting him on to cook disgusting food. It's brilliance.

It’s the only true story behind the holiday. Watch the full clip of the animated short to find out more about the tale of Kris Kringle, and of course his brother Kringle Kringle.

Merry Christmas. It’s time to open gifs
