Possibly the funniest half-hour committed to film.

Jim Norton and Lewis Black are two of my favorite Stand-up comics.  So seeing them together in this film is great.  I cannot recommend this movie enough.  This film follows a comedy team like Abbot and Costello from their beginnings on the Vaudeville stage, through Hollywood, and finally to the old-folks home.

The scene with their play on words (reminiscent of "Who's on first") is worth the price of admission alone.  This is a very funny movie, that if you are a fan of South Park type humor you owe it to yourself to see.

The parody subgenre imitates, exaggerates, and satirizes the style, themes, characters, or conventions of another work, genre, or cultural phenomenon. Parodies often involve taking well-known elements from the original source and presenting them in a humorous and exaggerated manner to create a comedic effect.
