I am a huge fan of The State and WHAS did not disappoint. I had tears streaming down my face because I was laughing so hard at some of the scenes. All of the performances were excellent! Especially Christopher Meloni and David Hyde Pierce. The scene where Janeane Garofalo and Joe Lo Truglio wreck the nurse's office had my friends and I laughing for days after we watched the movie! It is the perfect mix of very smart jokes and bathroom humor. Wet Hot American Summer is hands down one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time. If you are sick of all of the stupid and humorless films that have come out over the past few years that claim to be comedies then watch WHAS.

I am a huge fan of Steve Buscemi and I really enjoyed this film. I think that he really showed the audience that he is an all around talented guy. I grew up in a neighborhood much like the one in Trees Lounge. I KNOW guys like this! I went to high school with them. Buscemi really captured the essence and feel of a working class neighborhood. His performance in the film is one of his best by far. I saw Ghost World recently and it is nice to see him playing characters other then psychos. Sure he plays a weasel/tough guy like no other actor alive but Trees Lounge and Ghost World prove that he can project a real vulnerability. For my money, Steve Buscemi is the best actor in the business.

I thought I was the only one who remembered this show. This pre-Conan show was hilarious! But it kind of went down hill after Nick left. Does anyone remember the Mobley Motel!? God! This show made me laugh! They did an anniversary show one year with an entire audience and Nick came back for the show. He did a skit where he played a gay theater type guy and he made fun of all the late night talk shows. Some of the things that he said in that skit are still a part of my vocabulary to this day! I really wish comedy central would re-run some of the shows. Very, very funny television!
