Tittererer’s Digest #23 (feat. Nick Helm)
Well here we are. I’m Alan Maguire, your new humour editor. I am not Shane Langan, Shane Langan is gone. Put Shane Langan to the back of your mind with other things that are no longer here but you occasionally think of fondly. Things like Malcolm In The Middle, predictable weather, and disposable income. Have you put him there? Good. Let’s do a Tittererer’s Digest.
Clip of the Week
I thought my first Clip Of The Week as humour editor would be a classy, sophisticated, high-budget effort with jokes that reveal subtle layer after layer upon repeated viewings. Instead, here’s a sketch by Hush Money about people with ranch dressing on their hands.

Notable mentions go to Saturday Night Live’s Black Widow Trailer and College Humor’s The Guy Who Had A “Crazy” Night, both of which have higher production values but, crucially, do not feature people with ranch dressing on their hands.
