Milton Invented the Word Booya. The Daily Diversion.

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on December 12, 2008

One of my channel flipping weaknesses is easily The Sarah Silverman Program. I don’t make it a point to be home when its on, it doesn’t make it to my DVR list, but if I am flipping through the channels and it’s on I just can’t turn it off. Part of it is that I have a thing for Sarah Silverman — don’t ask me why. Something about a flagrantly inclined chick with plain Jane looks just works for me. The other part of it is that she’s hysterical, and her show is committed to its own ridiculous nature. Who can resist?

The clip above is actually from this evening’s episode, courtesy of Comedy Central. In this ep, Stephen Root (best known as Milton in Office Space) plays the man who invented the word “booya.” This inspires Sarah to take a shot at inventing her own word. And despite the fact that you know how this ends, it is still pretty funny.

Have a video suggestion for The Daily Diversion? Of course you do. Just send that junk via electronic mail to Editors@FSR.
