The Name Dropper: Jonah Hill, Brad Neely, Maria Bamford…

Name Drop #1: Jonah Hill
Remember a few months ago when Super Deluxe had those REEEEALLY annoying pop-up ads on our homepage for SuperBad? Michael Cera, Jonah Hill and the kid who played McLovin would magically appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your monitor and implore you to “Go see SuperBad…Bad…”

Well, look who’s popping up now in Tim And Eric Nite Live!

That’s Jonah Hill (as some of you astutely observed). He claimed to be a T&E fanatic by the name of Pat Horse in last week’s episode. But we’ve studied the footage for a week now, and we’re pretty sure it’s Jonah.

Name Drop #2: Brad Neely
Seen anything about this guy lately? We mean, besides the full-on ad campaign promoting the Professor Brothers that’s all over Super Deluxe and various other media-related places? How about this post in the Wired magazine blog, Underwire, yesterday? It’s nice and flattering, but the particularly interesting part is how they hold up Brad’s work as a prime example of what the Internet has to offer for the entertainment-starved masses during these dark days of writers strikes and what not. To which we say, keep on striking, you angry scribes!! Keep on not working!! Hahahaha!! More viewers for us!! But wait. That might not be good either. Because there’s a lot of chatter going around (L.A. Times article, anyone?) about how out-of-work writers are now all starting up their own video Websites just to stick it to the man. To which we say again, keep on striking, you angry scribes!! Starting a Website is the last thing you want to get embroiled in.

Name Drop Tangent #1:
Brad Neely doesn’t just get praised. He likes to praise too sometimes. Talking about some comments he left on the most recent This Is Now:

Hands down, this is the best This Is Now yet, and not just because Mr. Neely thinks so. It also has to do with all the delightful British banter about giant super-humans with mega-penises and the squat, ugly trolls that will serve them in the future.

Name Drop #3: Maria Bamford
A writer at Salon has also been trolling the online landscape for relief from ye olde writers strike lately. And she claims to have found it in Super Deluxe. No lie. She hearts the Maria Bamford Show, as well as the Professor Brothers. Just lookee…

Name Drop #4: the ECNY Awards
That’s right. The motherfuckin’ E-C-N-Y’s, y’all!! Yah!! Wait…um…you do know what we’re talking about, right? OK, probably not. Long story short: the ECNY’s are a bunch of awards for comedians in New York City, and this year, a slew of Super Deluxe-affiliated folk (Olde English, Dave Hill, Chelsea Peretti, Eugene Mirman, etc.) made the nominee list. Check it.

Name Drop #5: Bob Gonzo
Just for making it to the bottom of this blowhard of a blog post, we’ve decided to reward you with a rare gem from one of the Interweb’s most overlooked comic geniuses, Bob Gonzo. Ladies and gentlemen, behold: Jigglins Island “Tablet Of The Booby Tata.”

    • I got my dick licked in ‘96

    • Listen. Do not have an opinion while you listen because frankly, your opinion doesn?t hold much water outside of Your Universe. Just listen. Listen until their brain has been twisted like a dripping towel and what they have to say is all over the floor.
