Looks like our boy, Pacman Jones, is at it again! Something about a shooting at a certain Atlanta strip club early Monday morning? What was the name of it again?
Oh, yes. Club Blaze.
Well, in case you forgot about the last time Pac tore the club up, let us (and Waco & Roger) remind you…
This is beautiful. It’s called Crystal Cat. And it’s by our hero, Dan Deacon. A few of us went to his show here in Atlanta a wee bit ago and it melted our collective souls.
Did you watch the HBO premiere last night? Did you laugh a lot? Didn’t you know you could have watched it here weeks ago? Regardless, aren’t you dying to know more about these two particularly dry and funny and musically-gifted Kiwis?
Here’s your chance: Salon just asked them a bunch of questions, like…
So much of the humor in the show is deadpan. Are you concerned about the American reception to that kind of humor?
Clement: I never thought about that.
Read the whole thing here.
(thanks Comedy Central Insider!).
Waco & Roger have been in the funny biz for a while. First came their Damn! Show. From there, the infamous Yucko the Clown insulted his way into the comedy world. Then they did their MTV2 show, Stankervision. And now, they call Super Deluxe home sweet home.
Their Too Soon? series for us is instant gratification for anybody who can’t wait to start making jokes about real-life celebrity meltdowns. And now they have a new Super Deluxe show that’s premiering on Monday that we just had to ask them about.
So, what’s it all about?
It’s just like Dear Abby. Viewers email us their questions to youaskedforit@superdeluxe.com and we answer them.
The premiere episode is about little people with some big issues. Did you have any real life issues with them on the shoot?
One of the little guys almost paralyzed Waco for life. We had a “break-away chair” that didn’t really “break away” when he hit Waco in the head with it. But on the bright side, our craft service budget was cut in half.
Too Soon? has already spoofed Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie, which pretty much makes you experts on America’s celebrity fuck-up daughters. Give us a Too Soon? wish-list of predictions about their respective futures.
If all goes well Britney will get a sex change, Paris will smother a hobo, Lindsay will get into a knife fight with the Pope, and Nicole will keep doing what she’s doing now.
Speaking of predictions, you guys have been in the comedy video game in every facet—on VHS, on DVD, on TV and now on Super Deluxe and YouTube. What’s next for you guys and the industry?
We’d like to do a full-length feature. Unfortunately, unlike MTV2 shows, they don’t give movie deals to just anyone. We keep sending Yucko to meetings with movie executives, but no luck so far. Maybe they don’t like dirty polka dots.
Do you think this explosion in Internet comedy videos is just going to keep growing or is the bubble about to burst?
This is just the beginning for Internet comedy. It’s great for us. We have the opportunity to be more topical than we ever could be on TV. As long as our mothers don’t figure out how to use the Internet, we’re golden.
Well, whatever happens, you’ll always have Yucko the Clown. Is there anybody you’ve really pissed off with Yucko or anybody you’d like to piss off? Anything that’s off-limits for him to make fun of?
Nothing is off limits for Yucko. He has gotten a few bumps and bruises from his on the street interviews. The person he really wants to get is Bette Midler. He hates Bette and wants to make fun of that “fat swollen head of hers.”
What are you doing this weekend? Going to the library? Playing with a piece of bacon? Well, just in case your cable goes out Sunday night at 10 p.m. and you’re unable to watch the Adult Swim premiere of Robot Chicken: Star Wars, and, heaven forbid, your computer suddenly won’t let you watch it on AdultSwim.com either, we’ve got you covered!
BECAUSE THE ENTIRE HONKING EPISODE IS GOING TO BE FRONT AND CENTER ON OUR HOME PAGE FROM 10 P.M. SUNDAY JUNE 17TH TO THE BREAK-A-BREAK-A DAWN ON TUESDAY!!
Also on Monday, our little buddy boys, Waco & Roger, will be premiering their new Super Deluxe show, “You Asked For It.” Imagine Dear Abby meets John Rambo, and you’ll have a basic idea of the premise. Plus, we’ve got an exclusive interview with Waco & Roger coming up tomorrow!
Finally, dust off your Fedora or whatever the fuck you wear when you want to pretend you’re Carmen Sandiego! Because after a bit of a hiatus, Rondovie’s excellent comedy-adventure series, Treasure Trail, returns to the home page Tuesday with a new episode. And shit is getting freaky. Seriously, what the hell is this all about?
Find out next week!
We usually don’t like to get into these kind of political-military-sexual stories, but this one’s too hot NOT to handle:
Pentagon Confirms It Sought To Build A ‘Gay Bomb’
(CBS 5) BERKELEY—A Berkeley watchdog organization that tracks military spending said it uncovered a strange U.S. military proposal to create a hormone bomb that could purportedly turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals and make them more interested in sex than fighting.
Full flaming story here.
Sort of. All of you non-Safari-browser-using folk may have noticed this lil’ blurb that’s been camped out on our home page recently…
So, what are you waiting for?! Take the survey already! It’s real easy. Just check out these sample questions:
1. Have you ever made out with anybody while watching Super Deluxe?
2. Have you ever felt that somebody in a video on Super Deluxe was somehow coaxing you to make out with them?
3. Have you ever put a child in a headlock?
4. Why your girlfriend call me so much?
5. Doses, sheets, or shrooms?
See?
This is how things happen in 2007: you no longer just do a funny impersonation of a celebrity filmmaker. Said filmmaker now shows up at the premiere of your comedic short about him. It’s Meta 2.0.
Case in point: Olde English’s hilarious new video, “Michel Gondry,” debuting on our homepage today. Watch it right now…
It’s dead-on, oui? According to their blog, Olde English recently showed off “Michel Gondry” at a monthly show they do at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York.
And who just happened to be there?! This man! On the left! Michel Gondry!! Standing next to O.E.’s Raphael Bob-Waksberg, who played Michel Gondry. In “Michel Gondry!” Jesus, my brain hurts!!
Get the official take (complete with an interview!) here.
What’s better than listening to Journey? Getting laid while listening to Journey. But what’s better than that? Watching people get laid to Journey.
OK. That’s not cool. I don’t know why I said that.
What is better than listening to Journey is hanging out with a bunch of your musician friends, putting on noise-cancelling headphones, then listening to Journey and playing along—subsequently butchering the song. Set that banger to the original music videos and you’ve got the beautifully retarded works of the Legion of Rock Stars.
“Any Way You Want It” by Journey
“Too Legit To Quit” by MC Hammer
“Operator” by Jim Croce

Hello again, people of the Internet. Aren’t we having fun? Isn’t this comedy video thing a gas? Well, let me tell you, it’s about to get a whole lot more gassier around here.
How’s that? Well, the fucking hilarious Jon Benjamin will soon be doing videos for us. When he’s not too busy being sexy.
Aaaaand next week, Eugene Mirman puts Space Talk on hold to debut his new Super Deluxe series…
Yes, it’s called The Diary of a Lonely DJ (as if you couldn’t read that). And yes, it involves Eugene routinely bawling his BPM’s out over the existential angst of being a turntablist.
Also next week, we’re just giddy that Team Tiger Awesome will be making their SD debut. Mums the word on what they’re doing for us, but in the meantime, let us just revel in the masterpiece that put them on the Internet comedy map, 28 Day Slater…
