Ex-Men: Professor-X Fires Nightcrawler

Posted on by

Comedian Pete Holmes is at it again with another Ex-Men video. In the series, he dresses like Professor-X and fires some underperforming X-Men mutant. The last time I mentioned one of these videos it was the incredibly lame Jubilee that was getting the axe.

The new video sees Nightcrawler getting shown the door. Professor X brings up something I’ve never really thought about, what exactly does the smoke Nightcrawler leaves behind when he teleports smell like? Apparently, the answer is something stinky. At one point, Professor X says it smells like the Predators dreadlocks. I laughed hard.

As with all the other Ex-Men videos, it’s mostly a string of insults. In fact, at one point Nightcrawler asks Professor X if his home for mutants was just a ploy so he could lure mutants in and insult them. Professor X replies: “a little bit.”

Professor X Fires Jubilee

Posted on by

Let’s be honest, some of the superheroes created in the Marvel universe aren’t all that super. Sure, we have some really cool superheroes such as Wolverine, but we also have some really lame superheroes like Jubilee. If you’re unfamiliar with Jubilee, you aren’t missing much. She shoots fireworks out of her fingers.

Comedian Pete Holmes has created a series of skits called “Ex-Men” in which Professor X fires some of the less thrilling X-Men. His latest video is hilarious with the Prof asking Jubilee at one point if she could fire herself because it would be the first thing she’s ever done for the X-Men. He also says at one point that he might give her a call someday if Magneto is ever beating up hippies at Burning Man.
