DOCTOR GYPSEE GUNN / De-Motivational Seminar

An exercise in justification, Doctor Gypsee Gunn's De-Motivational Seminar is a strong testament to the Homer Simpson-esque adage that "trying is the first step to failure." Banking on the assumption that the lazy slobs who litter the human gene pool are intelligent enough to understand words like "synthesis and antithesis", Doctor Gypsee Gunn breaks down the "crap of life" in scientific terms for everyone wondering why life has left them behind to sit at home alone and suck down Welfare Malt Liquor.

Set up like a mock seminar, Doctor Gypsee Gunn's tirade on the futility of optimism and the superiority of failure does have a "repulsive charm," but if you can keep up with the Doctor's impressive mile-a-minute vocabulary and scientifically-based line of thought, you have every reason to feel good about yourself. If your cup is never more than half empty, Doctor Gunn's De-Motivational Seminar can teach you the scientific (experimental as they are) reasons and purposes for this negativity. Either as a prophet for a doomed society or a product of it, Doctor Gunn does manage to make some poignant and funny statements about the way humans try to live. The problem with Gunn's seminar could be in finding an audience that will genuinely benefit from it. Those who are capable of understanding Gunn's rapid-fire shifts in logic or his 50 cent words may not need to be reminded that life is full of injustice, irony, inconsistency, and misplaced priorities. On the other hand, Doctor Gypsee Gunn operates on a level far over the heads of the mentally enfeebled and pre-demotivated who gum up the system for the rest of us.

Doctor Gypsy Gunn, or an alternate persona of the same man, will most likely be a force in comedy within the next few years. He's got the brains and he's got the bite, he just needs the balls to bite hard enough in the right places. He's like a cross between a really proper Dennis Leary and a stuffy chemistry prof with oratory skill to spare. Whoever he is, whatever he is, Doctor Gypsee Gunn is dangerously smart, sarcastic, ill-willed, and well enunciated. Be sure to check out the Doctor's "hit" single "I See You In The I.C.U." and keep his "Cycle Of Depravity" spinning.

NOTE: Doctor Gypsy Gunn is the creation of Mark Bornstein who was also the creator of Brick Mallery.
