This Week’s Top Web Comedy Video: Romney Pours a Glass of Water

By Splitsider

With this election looming, it’s important to keep two seemingly contradictory ideas in your head: First, that voting is essential. And second, that laughing at politicians is an essential part of democracy. Especially when it’s Mitt Romney.

The rest of this week’s top comedy videos, including some still spooky Halloween-themed fun, can be found over at Splitsider.

Other highlights from the week in comedy:

- Jimmy Fallon and David Letterman did their shows without audiences for a night because of Hurricane Sandy wreaking havoc across the Northeast, while Bill Hader and this weekend’s host Louis C.K. promised that SNL will go on.

- Adult Swim picked up Dan Harmon’s new series Rick & Morty, while his old series, Community, finally got a premiere date (February 7th).

- A premiere date for Arrested Development was also set (April 2013).

- Letterman did Kimmel, Leno did Ferguson, and Stewart and Colbert also did Kimmel.

- NBC is turning Up All Night into a three-camera sitcom with a live audience and deciding against making a Dwight Schrute Office spin-off.
