ROTFLYAO? Maybe it’s Mother Nature’s way of telling you to vote for Batdar!!! in the National College Comedy Competition. Help Erika Budrovich, member of UC Berkeley’s favorite improv outfit jericho!, make the final four so she can showcase at the Aspen Rooftop Comedy Festival and harness all the bragging rights associated with the national title of “Funniest Filmmaker.”

Bonus guerilla improv: Bridgetroll. A classic example of the UC Berkeley student body’s seasoned mastery of the old “Stonewalling Weirdos Asking For Change” maneuver.

The final round of voting ends on Nov. 2.

Jericho!, your friendly neighborhood comedy / improv group, had its last show of the semester last week. Don’t cry though. The magic of jericho! continues on the Internet, yay!

Check out the Mailman bit above. It’s a little longish but it’s definitely not short on pathos … or a case of the silly. After the jump, two more chortle-worthy vids.

In case you ever need a good radar gun, there’s BATDAR!

Or, you know, you could always watch a championship game of hungry hungry hippos.

Also, since this is Berkeley, we’ve become extremely jaded and are no longer very impressed when random shit interrupts our lectures. That being said, something about the Gestalt or whatever (the whole is greater than the sum of its parts … Psych majors? Not at all applicable? Er, just forget it.) made this video seem significantly funnier than the one dancing guy in Wheeler Auditorium did at the time. So yeah. Three cheers for YouTube: Making things worthwhile that might not be otherwise, since … well–like, forever.

(Thanks for the tip, Moujan.)
