Netflix Pick of the Week: The Comedians of Comedy (Documentary)
Put it on the top of your Netflix queue here.
What happens when you take a bunch of ultra sarcastic, sharply hilarious comedians around to a bunch of smaller venues usually used by local or indie bands? And film it. Well, you get trips to comic book store, to the ‘classic’ arcade, lots of eating and sitting in cars talking, and lots of fuckin’ funny. Patton Oswald is the kind of ringmaster of this comic circus, with Maria Bamford (Yay Minnesota!!!), Brian Posehn, and Zack Galifianakis, and a few other guests including Sarah Silverman and Doug Benson (Super High Me looks hilarious)
Random quote: “I wish there was a morning after pill for Denny’s Moons Over My Hammy.” -Zack Galifianakis.
If you like things like The Sarah Silverman Show, Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn, or just generally funny stuff, and don’t get offended (what’s there to really be offended by stereotypes and hypotheticals anyway?) then this is for you. There is a LOT of swearing. Keep your under 13 kids away from this, definitely. But, everyone else should watch this and laugh and laugh and laugh. There’s enough stand up, and actually funny/interesting conversations tokeep you entertained throughout. I would love to hang out with/meet/whatever any of these inventive artists. Word. OK, enough ass-kicking. Put that shit on your Queue, and be very excited about it appearing in your mailbox. Though, the Rodney Kings of Comedy would have been a great name for this documentary/movie also. And there’s nothing like running around a crowded restaurant with a tray full of red meat thinking in your head “He ain’t gonna email you no mo’, email you no mo’, e, mail, you, no, mo-, o, o.”
