Once You Go Black(Berry), You Never Go Back(Berry)
Poor Mo Rocca. In what will likely go down in history as the single most desperate attempt to hitch a ride on the viral video bandwagon, the bespectacled talking head has accepted a R.I.M. job as Blackberry’s “Comedy Correspondant” (whatever THAT means). In a series of painfully unfunny video shorts, Mr. Rocca took to the streets of New York to (and I quote) “coach BlackBerry users on how to express their love for [their] smartphones.” Yikers Island. Although there appears to be two episodes (titled “Spaceship” and “CIA”, respectively) in the can that haven’t yet made their online debut, your Uncle Grambo is pretty sure that the dudes over at Super Deluxe and Funny Or Die won’t exactly be tripping over themselves to sign the flailing Mo to a production deal.

Yawn. This guy’s been a painfully unfunny douche since he was born, so this is a logical move for him.

Mo Rocca and Louis Theroux: same look, wildly different levels of talent

Mo Rocca’s next job based on his talent = peanut vendor at the Copa or Sparky Anderson’s care giver, he is most definitely qualified for either one….Must be a lot of strange job’s (phone love) available in NYC, right Grambo?

Rob Corrdry is headed down the same Mo Schlocka path.

If you happen to be on Super Deluxe, check out Robot vs. Dragon, especially episode two. The best kind of ridiculous funny.
