You know how I feel about men who make me laugh. If you have the FUSE channel you’re in luck. That means you can catch the premiere of “The Whitest Kids U’ Know,” on Tuesday night. Trevor Moore, Sam Brown, Zach Cregger, Timmy Williams and Darren Trumeter are a group of friends who have taken sketch comedy and improv to a new level. Their politically incorrect humor is an equal opportunity offender. Look for their music video sketches which are beyond brilliant.

They were discovered on the Internet where they were putting up sketches every week. “And we were like going to YouTube and a bunch of other blogs,” says Moore. “So then we shot a pilot ourselves, kind of like in our own backyard and we sent it around. … Our comedy is kind of influenced from all over and Monty Python. There’s nothing we really consider off limits.

“I mean it depends on the spirit of what you’re doing, like a sketch, if it’s of a sensitive subject matter. We’ll do something sensitive but in a kind of a light-hearted, not malicious, sensibility. We go at it in kind of a childlike way. As long as it’s not mean-spirited, we’ll do anything.”

The friends met “in a spillover dorm in Brooklyn,” Brown says. “If you missed out on getting housing at whatever college you went to in New York, you’d be put in this dorm. So we kind of had this slacker attitude to us.”

‘Dancing with the Stars’ is back Monday nights on ABC. Okay, so I’m one of those people who watch the first and last episodes. My Monday nights are full, and I just can’t take on any more. I don’t care how bad the dancing is.

‘Tori and Dean Inn Love’ premieres on Oxygen Wednesday. The premise of the reality show is they’re taking over an Inn and revamping it to turn into a glamorous bed and breakfast. I could only stomach about 10 minutes, before my gag reflex kicked in.

‘Blood Ties’ debuted a week ago on Lifetime on Sunday. If you haven’t had a chance to check it out, it’s worth a glance. Okay, so the set ups a little cheesy, as are the special effects. But these are likable characters and the series is based on some great books. If you like things that go bump or bite in the night, check it out.
