Hot. Cold. Mustard.

I have seen the future of comedy and its name is Andy Milonakis. His show on MTV consists of short, zany films in which he (seemingly impromptu) delivers some non sequitur or goes into a rap. He's part Jonathan Winters and part Tom Green - but without the latter's raunch or bad taste. One example: he gets into the shower, fully clothed-including his ubiquitous red tartan plaid shirt- and instead of the hot or cold knob, he turns on the mustard knob - and stands under a shower of yellow mustard. His sketches are short, not mean-spirited, and completely original. Watch for him.
