jesus use meNo matter how many times I try to explain it to my wife she just doesn’t understand.  They are snakes and they are on a plane.  They are snakes on a plane.  It’s a plane and there are snakes on it.  She says, “yeah I get it.  I just think it’s stupid.”  Ummmm…yeah.  It is stupid.  It’s so stupid that it’s awesome.  Sometimes the funniest things can be completely by accident.

This week we look at what makes unintentional funny things funny.  Can sitcoms do a very special episode without it being accidentally hilarious?  What’s the difference between unintentional humor and campy?  Who would actually sit down and write a movie about a house that eats unmarried women?  What are those crazy snakes doing on that plane anyway?

We welcome comedian Nate Kushner, co-host of the movie series Movies vs. Humans, (where they watch the worst movies of all time and comment on them) to help us figure it all out.

Snakes have no business being on planes.
