Pete Holmes is a wickedly funny comedian, and he had some spot-on videos about the weaknesses of the X-Men team. For his now defunct late night show, Holmes did a series of skits on the failings of many of the X-Men heroes, and how their vulnerabilities made them a threat to the team. He portrayed Professor X in eleven hilarious but vulgar video clips. I previously featured Wolverine’s firing, but plan to highlight others in future posts. Warning- they are for mature audiences only!
Nightcrawler: Our favorite blue guy gets insulted and told not only is he creepy but he smells when he teleports! Poor guy- what is he going to do now? It’s not like he can pass into society as he has a very distinct look!
Gambit: I love me some Gambit, and wouldn’t mind spending some time with this sexy Cajun, but his skills are weak, I have to admit. What if he runs out of cards? Then what????
Jubilee: What can Jubilee actually do? Although an appealing teen, with her trademark yellow jacket and sunglasses, she doesn’t seem to add much to the X-men team. I would actually have to agree- you’re fired!
There’s more gems like these for another day!

I remember you saying you were going to do a post with these! Ahh, I love it! I’m happy I read this this afternoon too because these clips have provided the perfect break from grading – short, hilarious, and re-energizing. I laughed out loud a little bit annnnnd now I’m back to working. Thanks!
