If you haven't seen "Funny or Die's" popular culture game show "Billy on the Street," then you probably don't recognize the name, Billy Eichner. However, if you've watched NBC's "Parks and Recreation," then you might recognize the name Craig Middlebrooks – better known as Crazy Craig. Still confused? Take a look at some of Craig Middlebrooks' best scenes and then come back.

"Billy on the Street" brings the essential nature of Craig Middlebrooks to the streets of New York City, where Billy quizzes random passerby's on the latest in pop culture. Billy's erratic behavior and outlandish responses to random men and women on the streets of New York are shocking and hilarious, both to the viewer and the innocent participant. In no particular order of preference, here are some of the many times Eichner made our abs hurt from laughing – that's considered a workout right?

1. When he made Michelle Obama, a.k.a. #FLOTUS, push him around a grocery store while he read Gwyneth Paltrow's acceptance speech.

2. When he took Amy Poehler caroling around the streets of New York City.

3. When Billy paid this stranger a dollar after he admitted that he thinks Jimmy Fallon is the best talk show host in front of Seth Meyers.

4. When Billy and Lindsay Lohan smashed a "How I Met Your Mother" decorated car in spite of the show ending.

5. When Billy harassed innocent civilians by playing a lightning round of "Would You Have Sex With Paul Rudd?" with Paul Rudd.

6. When Billy encountered a woman who couldn't name another woman in the lightning round of "Name a Woman."

7. When Billy not-so-subtly called out the issues of cultural appropriation.

8. When Billy told Drew Barrymore what Drew Barrymore would like in a game of "Would Drew Barrymore Like That?"

9. When Billy introduced his favorite civilian Elena to her favorite person, Michelle Obama.

10. When he had Julianne Moore act for the money of tourists on the streets.

Also, see "Anna Kendrick vs. Katy Perry's Cat."

If these perfect examples didn't convince you enough that you need to watch "Billy on the Street," then I don't know what will.

Four seasons in, "Billy on the Street" has pushed a new kind of comedic envelope. The traditional game show setting has changed drastically over the years, leaving the audience-filled studios and taking to the streets of New York City. Billy catches people in their most natural and honest moments, showing us the essence of human nature that the show is built around.

Watch here or every Wednesday night at 11 or 10 p.m. central and 11:30 or 10:30 p.m. central on TruTV.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
