Last Time: Austin Powers; International Man of Mystery>+11
The first film in the Austin Powers trilogy scores decently. Will the other films in the trilogy fair as well, or even better? Only time will tell...but until that day comes we move onto our other nominations.
NO VID TITLE! Your vote doesn't count! Just shut up and play the movie!
Yakov Naumovich Pokhis (Russian: Яков Наумович Похис; born 24 January 1951), better known as Yakov Smirnoff, is a Ukrainian-born American comedian, painter and teacher. He was popular in the 1980s for comedy performances in which he used irony and word play to contrast life under the Communist regime in his native Soviet Union with life in the United States, delivered in heavily accented English. He has a theatre in Branson, Missouri, where he performs year-round. Yakov is also a professor at Missouri State University and Drury University where he teaches "The Business of Laughter".

Rules-
The idea is simple. I will (at least make an attempt to) post a TV Show, a movie, a comedian, or something of another ilk each day. I will also provide a description ala wikipedia and a youtube link to a clip should one be available. All you need to do is simply vote whether you believe the item is funny or not. If you vote "funny", the item will gain 1 point. If you vote "not funny" the item loses a point. The total score at the end of the voting period will determine where that item is on the leaderboard. After 20 days, I will then crown champions for each subject (TV Show, Movie, Comedian, Other), an overall champion (highest score of all) and an eternal jobber (worst score of all). I will continue to run the thread, but I will keep track of what items we think are the funniest in each subject.
The voting goes as follows:
Hilarious (adds two points)
Funny (adds one point)
Meh/Never seen it (adds and subtracts nothing)
Not funny (takes away one point)
Horrible (takes away two points)
One other thing I allow is the nomination of items from you, the wrestlecrappers. If you shoot me a PM of something you want nominated, I might put it up, provided it follows a few ground rules (more info below). I will say that spamming my inbox with the same nomination will pretty much ruin your chances, and so will being a jerk if your nomination isn't ran. I do not play favorites with nominations by item nor the users that submit them. I nominated several items by reader request that I absolutely despised the last time around and left off several things I would have put at the top of my own list. I save the PMs of most requests, only deleting them when I have fulfilled all of the requests within OR if it breaks one of the request rules. I like to revisit them if I am short on ideas. Just because something you request isn't nominated right away does not mean it will be left off completely.

-Don't spam several requests or lots within one message. 3 requests per message max.
