This Week With Pete! Xavier Makes Rogue an ‘Ex-Men’

Posted on by Nick Doll in Batman, DC, Marvel, Pete Holmes, TV Shows

Though only 2 episodes in… this week.. so far… THE PETE HOLMES SHOW has already aired multiple sketches worth sharing with you, my geek friends. As well as an interview with the master podcaster whose podcast inspired Pete’s, YOU MADE IT WEIRD.

I recommend watching Tuesday’s entire episode, where Pete fires Rogue, gets taught by a pastor to surf, and interviews Marc Maron.

If you’d rather pick and choose… then… you’re welcome!

First Pete Holmes returns as Xavier to fire the X-Men, Rogue.


“And I wish I could walk!”

Pete Holmes also played the joker... once. I could use more of that, Petey Pants.

Pete has mentioned on his podcast, that perhaps he has done too many Batman sketches. I think it’s time to give Xavier a rest… but only if Batman returns! (Tim Burton need not apply.)

Pete also got to talk to the man whose podcast has inspired him the most, King of the Podcasters, Marc Maron.

Posted on by Nick Doll in Pete Holmes, TV Shows, Video Games

On THE PETE HOLMES SHOW, comedian Pete Holmes has a segment called “All the Games.”

On Part 3, Pete does every LEGEND OF ZELDA fan a solid by setting the record straight.


“You’re welcome everyone dressing up as Link at Comic-Con.”

Thank you, Pete Holmes, for letting everyone know that the hero of my favorite franchise is not named Zelda.

Ex-Men: Professor X (Pete Holmes) Fires Gambit

Posted on by Nick Doll in Comics, Marvel, Pete Holmes, TV Shows

The superhero shorts from Pete Holmes just don’t stop!

With The Pete Holmes Show premiering next Monday, at midnight, on TBS, another sketch from the show has hit the net, landing at Entertainment Weekly.

After firing Wolverine because a character with a metal spine is useless against arch-nemesis Magneto, it’s time for Professor Xavier to go down the X-Men roster to fire the next useless mutant.

Check out the video after the jump!

Pete Holmes Fires WOLVERINE and Tackles BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN

Posted on by Nick Doll in Batman, Comics, DC, Marvel, Pete Holmes, TV Shows

Pete Holmes.

Again, I come to you, bringing tidings of Pete Holmes, who will soon have his own show, THE PETE HOLMES SHOW, premiering on Monday, October 28th, on TBS (a channel that really doesn’t know funny at all… yet).

Batman Vs. SupermanI am not paid to promote Pete Holmes (any accusations would be ridiculous for a website with such low readership); I am just a giant fan, both of his BADMAN videos and his excellent Podcast that puts Marc Maron’s WTF to shame, YOU MADE IT WEIRD WITH PETE HOLMES. His E*Trade baby ain’t too terrible either.

While ramping up for the impending premiere of his show, Pete Holmes has put up two hilarious sketches, both from the comic universe; taking pot shots at Marvel and DC.

First, Pete Holmes returns as Batman in his ‘Teaser’ for BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN.

A video I wished to embed here, but doesn’t seem to work… in any browser. So CLICK HERE TO SEE IT!

Not his best appearance as Batman (see GOOD WILL HUNTING with Batfleck), but still, not bad. I really do owe my own impression of Christian Bale’s Batman to the one, the only, Pete Holmes!

His greater sketch of late, has to do with a metal Marvel hero with a love of the expression, ‘Bub.’
