Card guy: "The meeting already started."
Murray whispers: "Well, he didn't take roll call..."

:biglaugh:


(ps, it's Jemaine, not Jermaine....)

"Those are still words."

"Oh, it's my favorite box."

Murray - "We're just talking about upcoming gigs."
Jemaine - "There's none."

Great episode. Dave was great, "be that as it may Jemaine, you guys are still the most hated race in the whole city."

This was the best episode so far IMO. The guy that ran the fruit stand was hilarious. "You want a brown delicious, to the face!"

Great songs, too. Every mother flippers messin with my shhhhhh? Cmon!

My wife read an article about them in Interview this month. Apparently it was the Racist Dragon skit that got them signed. These guys actually were looking for work as folk singers with all these songs. They were deadly serious about getting musical gigs. They could only land opening slots at comedy clubs though, and the rest they say, is history.

Only 6 shows left, now. HBO! Pick up more!

I first saw them on their HBO special last year. They were very entertaining doing standup, but this show really suits their talents. Murray and the #1 fan give the show a nice variety. Personally I think the racist Dragon has probably been their weakest song so far.

that makes total sense - it's without a doubt, the funniest/weirdest thing they've done on the show.

Weirder than Labrinth Bowie? I dont know...

There just more of a disconnect with throwing in a random racist dragon who's tears turn into jellybeans than a musician having a dream about another musician, even in Labrynth get-up. JMO.

I would have to disagree. Seeing as how I start to chuckle and sing "It's Business time" every morning when I put on my socks, because well they are my business socks.

Yeah, the "It's Business Time" song has become a regular saying now in my house. Taking out the recycling isn't part of it, but it's still important.

it's also become the warcry of a small, but elite, group of attorneys spread across the united states of late . . .

Albi the racist dragon is probably my favourite song of theirs I've heard. Though I really like Jenny too.

My favorite song of the episode was "Hi!" by Murray, but the Racist Dragon song was so funny we had to rewind the on demand because we were laughing so hard. Not everyday can one laugh at the "badly-burnt Albanian boy from the day before."

Special note: I would never laugh at any real badly burnt Albanian boys.


The scenes with Dave were really funny.

Inject a piece of his fruit with strychnine and then when a customer dies the CIA will trace it back to him. Then he's going straight to the big house.........Alcatraz.

Have you ever seen Escape from Alcatraz? It wasn't easy.
