Reggie Watts
It's hard to describe Reggie. If you like anything that you enjoy, then you'll probably find this paletable.

As computer generated effects become cheaper and more realistic (and easier to reproduce), they invevitably become more commonplace. Exactly how commonplace may suprise you though. Take these two SFX showreels for John Adams and Boardwalk Empire, both recent HBO dramas. Their use of multi-layered CGI and green screen techniques is impressive.
It's not just period dramas that get this level of CG attention though, just have a look at this showreel from Stargate Studios, responsible for effects sequences in many big TV titles.
At over 100mph, these two Norwegians perform a wingsuit flyby only a few feet from the ground. The video repeats in slow motion so that you can easily see how close they come. I haven’t examined every video of a wingsuit flyby but it’s hard to imagine that you could get much closer to the ground.
Even if the comedy stuff isn't your thing, the song at 2:30 is worth a listen.
