People ask me, "Chase, where can I find videos of you? Chase, where can I find things that you think that are funny and that you must share with the world?" I used to simply reply, "Well, old lady that smells like jello and aqua net-- Canada" but, I can now tell her and you, to come to this website. You should come everyday! Really. I need the numbers to boost my self-esteem....
Sesame Street has been buzzed about a lot lately. Between Katy Perry keeping her (Oscar the Grouch) Cans covered, to Grover's Old Spice Parody, Sesame Street is the place to be.
That brings us to today. It is brought to you by the word HAIR. Sesame's head writer, and puppeteer, Joey Mazzarino with his wife have adopted a little girl from Ethiopia named Segi.
Segi has recently made comments that she would like to have long blonde hair like her friends. Our good friend Joey has responded to his daughter the only way a good Muppeteer should: with a Sesame Segment on HAIR, and how we should all love our hair no matter what, because it is OUR'S.

I have been visiting with Grandma Neal lately, and have been working on the videos we made. In the meantime, here are a couple of teasers for you. They look compelling!!!
Hi friends. This post kills two birds with one stone, or fills two cavities with one cavity fill.... whatever they fill cavities with. Gold? Silver? Lead?
My brother Trent is now in Dentistry School and is learning to "drill, baby, drill." I hear he is doing fine and only misplaced 1 patient's tooth, a bridge, 3 sets of pediatric dentures and a row of patients! That is a pretty good average! Way to go Trent! This video is for you.....
Also, my friends up at The Iron Door Playhouse are doing "The Little Shop of Horrors" this week and I wanted to shamelessly promote them. With the folks behind it, it will be a "Horror-ble" production! I am hoping that I can come up and check it out myself. It will be fantastic! If you haven't gotten your tickets, get them quick, before they are eaten up!
now for the vid, a song from "Little Shop of Horrors" movie featuring Steve Martin, and directed by Frank Oz. This song will explain to you my fear of dentists (I am not kidding about that one) and my love for Mr. Martin!
Now if you will excuse me, I need to go have a hit of nerve gas.....
(also Trent, I was kidding. You will make a fine dentist. His practice will be great folks! please don't hurt me when you see me! Please! You know I bruise like a peach!)
Here is the new ad for tourism in California. It has stars, and people who think they are stars, people who want you to think they are stars, and the incomprehensible Betty White! That is some smart marketing!
I need to be on the next flight to CA. To visit my friend Mickey. We go way WAY back. One time, I went to dinner with him and Milton Berle. Boy that was legendary! It was so so funny! It was funny. It was hilarious! Not to be forgotten! It was so wacky, with me, Mickey, and Milton, that when we ordered dinner, oh boy this is the funny part, that.... that... uh.... oh shoot! I forgot......
Everyone has seen the "old spice" commercials right? The ones where a rather attractive man tells you how old spice shower gel works and it is very funny. Well, those folks at Sesame Street are at the top of their game for season 41, (they have even had a scandal! Katy Perry!) and have Grover, our cute and furry little buddy, doing a parody of these commercials. If you have not seen the "old spice" commercials I have included one so you too can be in on the joke.
First the Old Spice:
Now Grover's Parody:
Those Sesame Street guys are too funny for their own good!
Tea Party candidate in Delaware, Christine O'Donnell has been in the news a lot lately. A clip of her on 90's show "Politically Incorrect" shows her confessing that she "dabbled" in witchcraft. Well, that sent people into a fury. This led her to releasing the WORST CAMPAIGN AD EVER. Now, watch this, and think about if I had not prefaced you with this information. It will give you a kick.
and now....THE WORST CAMPAIGN AD.... EVER.
If one of your political ads starts off with the sentence, "I am not a witch" everybody is in trouble. As I understand it, this young woman has said some pretty outlandish things but this is the funniest.
Christine O'Donnell did not pay for this post, and I am not affiliated with the Tea Party. This woman sure as heck is not ME. She can't work the facial hair and broad shoulders like I do. Do you think she could rock a joke like moi? I hope I don't have hair like her. The point is, she is not ME.
I am looking forward to meeting her while waiting for The Great Pumpkin, maybe she
A few years ago it was announced that there was a bidding war over a book of essays to be written by my girl, Tina Fey. I took note and have been waiting to hear. Today, I heard.
A poster was revealed with an alleged cover at The Frankfurt Book Fair over the weekend. The book, titled Bossypants, will be released to booksellers in the spring. I love me some Tina Fey. Not only is she easy on the eyes, she is one of the funniest human beings living! She made us believe Sarah Palin could see Russia from her house! She made Sarah Palin believe she could see Russia from her house! Back to the book talk...
Whenever it hits shelves, I will be first in line to get my copy at Barnes and Noble, but this picture begs me to ask, " Why in the heck does Tina Fey have my dad's arms?"
What do you think? Creepy? Hilarious? Creepily Hilarity at it's finest? Maybe Tina is having some sort of allergic reaction to something she ate, like spam, and her arms are swollen. Or, it could be a side effect to the make up she uses. Maybe, just maybe, these are her real arms and hands and all others have been fakes! It could happen! Oh, the possibilities!! I don't know. You folks discuss.
And why is she dressed like Elaine Stritch?
Oh, and those are not my dad's arms. He would never wear a watch.
Captain Jack Sparrow himself, not some Disney employee with really cool dreads, visited a school in South London this week, when Captain Jack received a letter from a student named Beatrice asking for lessons in pirating andmutinying against her teachers. She ended the letter by promising rum. So, of course to everyone's surprise and delight Johnny Depp as Sparrow showed up! He is currently filming the fourth installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
Here is a video of the event, but alas, not a very good quality one:
This story makes me wish while I was in school, I would have written a letter to Big Bird asking for flying lessons!!!!
Way back in 1991 The Walt Disney Company released the now classic "Beauty and the Beast" starring Belle, and The Beast, and Cogsworth, Lumiere, Mrs. Potts and the rest of the gang. It changed my childhood for the better. I remember watching that everyday BEFORE school and everyday AFTER school! I can't watch it without mouthing every line, and I always tear up when Belle finally tells The Beast that she loves him. I know, I am a big sissy man.
Disney has released this classic on blu-ray and DVD this week, and to celebrate we here at thechasebeechershow.blogspot.com have found that classic Tale as old as Time as sung by Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson....(Brace yourselves for some early nineties Celine!)
Over the summer I have had this glorious song stuck in my head titled, "The Dog Days Are Over" by Florence + The Machine. It was then featured in the trailer for "Eat. Pray. Love." That sent the song out into the world to be heard. It was catching on.
Then, last month Florence packed up her machine and headed to the VMAs and performed the song flawlessly and attempted to recreate her wild music video. Check out her awesome performance from the VMAs (I have been meaning to post this for awhile) and tell me what you think of Florence + that wonderful Machine of hers.....
Presenting to you The Chase Beecher Show! Early in the summer Mz. Oprah Winfrey asked for submissions to have your OWN show on her network. (called OWN, get it?) I submitted a tape, but had to cut a lot of my jokes and funny stunts due to time. I was running like a mad man to get it in and under time. Time has marched on, and I have not been picked to be in the running to have my OWN show.
I have taken the three minute audition tape and added all the jokes and interview "stuff" in it and am now presenting it to you! Tell me what you think! The editing is not the greatest, due to me being in a crunch the first time I was editing it for the contest.
Sit back, relax, and prepare yourself for, "The Chase Beecher Show: a new hope (the audition for my OWN show) !!!!!!!!!
I have recently seen this rad video making the rounds and have to bring it to your attention. These two brothers decide to go hitchhiking from Colorado to Canada. They document their adventure. On their way they meet what they call, "the nicest people in America." This is personal to me because they stop in my hometown of Malad, Id. It looks like they venture through once, briefly, and then again to stay awhile on a farm. They spend some quality time moving pipe and eating at the Malad Drive Inn, (It doesn't show movies!) which is a staple in the sleepy little town. I have done my fare share of chowing down there. I think I ate there so much they re-paved the sidewalks one summer because of me alone. Anyway, check out this video after the jump------
Thanks to collegehumor.com we have a crafty little chart to show us where all our favorite Muppets fit into the circle of life. It turns out Rowlf is the most zen of our motley crew! . After the jump see what I mean and check out the beard that Animal is rockin'!
But, there is a special day this week, and if you click on this link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hFuiRROi04 It will give you a clue as to what is going on this week!! It's big!!
I can't get this song out of my head right now, so here is the video for y'all to see. It is "Misery" by Maroon 5. Now you can have it stuck in your head now....
Part of my stand up act is my impression of Julia Child. Here is a video of a sketch I did in 2009. It was filmed from far away, so it doesn't look that great, but you can make out the craziness. I don't know why, but my Julia Child is purely insane!
oh, and that is a rolled up beach towel, in case anyone wanted to know...
From time to time, from now on, I am going to display artist's work that I think is awesome. Our first artist here is James Hance and you can click HERE to check out his other work. His collection is called "Relentlessly Cheerful"and includes very pop-oriented art. Everything from Dorothy and the Tin Man, to the creatures of "Labyrinth" to "Star Wars"to "Van Gogh" meets "Batman" and, of course, Muppets. Very RAD, man!!! Check him out. I have picked some of my favorite pieces to display here....
Capt. Link Hogthrob from "Pigs in Space"and Spock from "Star-- oh you know that show about space and whatever."*

My cousin Chad is a disc golfer extraordinaire, and has multiple injuries to prove it! Here is a short teaser video that he made "frolfing" in our neighborhood. Now I see why his kids are so crazy....
