He might still have one dimple but that doesn't mean he can't be dimpler. After bringing the slow clap to movie screens in "Not Another Teen Movie," Kyle Cease is breaking new ground in his new stand up special, Weirder. Blacker. Dimpler. Watch as he finds a compromise for people who disagree on open or closed casket funerals, why he thinks his mom puts out just fine, and ponders what the "juicy" on the back of sweatpants is really referring to.
