thebitterguyBecause, really, none of y'all are normal.
Snra & I were attending a NYE party at the global headquarters of Pixel Barrel, but first off had tickets to attend the New Years Eve Laugh Until Someone Says Something Blindingly Innapropriate show at Massey Hall.
Since Sean Cullenwas hosting, that was somewhere in the introductory monologue, where the Asian Tsunami jokes started.
Okay, it wasn't REALLY about the Tsunami, more about Hollywood's self inovlvement, but, really, any comedy routine that includes the phrase "thousands dead" is gonna bring the house down.
Thankfuly, he chose to follow that with the porn song, which made everything okay.
I could also ignore his foolishness by looking at the hotty in the front row with the red leather dress. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you very much.
The rest of the show was similarly uneven. Jessica Holmes did Liza (funny), blondes 1, 2 & 3 (not funny) and Celine (humorous). Kid from Rick Mercer (whatever his name is) did some stuff about the benefits, nationally, of keeping a low profile. The Best Comedianne in Canada did a fairly bad set. I think I've seen her on the Just for Laughs, and been baffled then, too. The Imponderables did a bit about rod hockey hockey players. It was funny. "Who are we playing?" "The Russians." "The Russians AGAIN?!"
There were two other guys too, a philipino and a thin guy. They both amused me, and so can live to collect their own Canada Council grants.
The Frantics,of course, rocked. They did the Roots/Dildo sketch, Dirty Words in the Newspaper, and a few others, including a really funny one about a guy on the GO train who has to talk his daughter through her first period over the phone.

Don't suppose there's any chance I can get some of those Frantics MP3s off you, eh?
