[So, YouTube is doing a “Comedy Week” promotion this week.](http://www.youtube.com/youtube?feature=inp-yo-hee)  
Apparently, it was organized to have lots of comedians prepare exclusive videos that would debut this week. Honestly, I _only_ knew about it because I use Hulu and there were ads for it on Hulu. Other than that, I wouldn’t have known so I’m not sure how smart they’ve been about promoting it.

I’ve seen very little shared via social media- and we’re already three days into it.

I’ve found a few moderately funny videos from the Comedy Week feature page linked above. The only two videos that have really stood out so far are:

[Sarah Silverman’s “Perfect Night”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2KYHLLIRYk)  
and  
[Key of Awesome’s “Start a Mumford Band!”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=as4O2ZorKP8) (this one’s particularly good)
