The Bathroom Songwriter

Antsy McClain and the Trailer Park Troubadours with a really
smart piece about straining to find song lyric inspiration.
The flow comes easy for some, it’s harder to get out for others.
I kid, but I learned many years ago that life is nothing but a
series of toilet metaphors, seriously.
It’s all over when the paperwork is done…

Parrot Sketch/Lumberjack Song

A great example as to why Monty Python is considered to be the
greatest sketch comedy troupe to ever grace a stage.
This was very early in their careers, Michael Palin and John Cleese
look as fresh as I’ve ever seen them.
Gotta love Palin’s facial expressions in this one, and Cleese’s
masterful way of keeping on point is exceptional.
The word play is top notch, the timing even better.
A true classic in every way.
Upon further review Michael does not seem to be a huge fan
of tomatoes…


Work Hard, Play Hard

A classic piece of annoyance by the very talented Greg Warren.
That’s a great part of his shtick, slightly agitated with a low
level snark that they’d teach in ninja school.
Come to think of it, THAT would be devastating, snark that kills!
Bringing your opponent to tears with words could crumple
just as effectively as a well placed haymaker to the noggin.
But I digress.
Greg’s a very funny stand-up comedian, one of the better ones
for sure.
He doesn’t like Paul, not sure why…


The Hostage

As far as jobs go, hostage negotiator has got to be
right up there in difficulty with the best of them.
You make a wrong decision and the twins “get it!”
On the bright side, you DO get to go home early.
Kurt Weitzmann with a great sketch, you just don’t
see them like this anymore…
