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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
