5.0 out of 5 stars Of Indie Comedy and Hate, November 2, 2009

Why would you believe a guy who starts his review in the middle of a sentence? There is a possible world in which that guy goes to comedy clubs, puts down 6 or so drinks and barely laughs at funny jokes. This is actually surprising as I would imagine his insatiable craving for jokes that involve the word "faggot" and "retard" only increases with a belly full of MGD.

This album is funny. It discusses serious issues like bears gentrifying cities and myspace ads. Also, don't worry; you don't have to like Nuetral Milk Hotel in order to enjoy this album.

I first saw Eugene on the Comedians of Comedy tour a couple years ago. While I was least familiar with him, he was the funniest and going back to listen to his older albums confirmed that. If you are a fan of the new school, standup-is-the-new-grunge comedy, than you will love this. In addition to purchasing and enjoying this disc, I'd also recommend follow him on Twitter.

5.0 out of 5 stars The funniest comedian working today., December 31, 2009

This review is from: God Is A Twelve-Year-Old Boy With Asperger's (MP3 Download)

You may know Eugene Mirman from a small recurring segment in the recently concluded HBO comedy show Flight of the Conchords. But Mirman's more than that, as this disc makes clear. It's entirely observational humor and non-sequiturs: several segments are different quizzes that Eugene finds, and fills out, and then tells people about.

Example:

'I was in Vancouver, in what I was told was the poorest neighborhood in America. Which I found very hard to believe, because has anyone ever been to Detroit. It has bears returning to the city. When bears start gentrifying a city, and opening Thai restaurants ... that is a very poor city." Then he pretends to argue with a bear.

My favorite Mirman joke is actually from En Garde, Society! - one of his previous albums. 'Somebody recently asked me, if you were any animal, what would you be', and I said a swamp, and he said 'That's not an animal', and so I hit him. Because I would be a bear. But I wanted to show, not tell.'

Comedy's very subjective, and there are a lot of funny comedians out there, but Mirman's the best, in my opinion.

By far the best part of this CD is the three-part 'radio play', which is just ... it's amazing. You must listen to believe.

You'll laugh. You may not know exactly why, but you'll laugh, long and hard.
