G the B

Well, I'm updating every week or so; that's not too bad, right?

I finally got my Greg the Bunny DVD back from my coworker this past monday. SUCH a great show! Why do all the truly funny shows get booted from TV after one season? (I mean besides The Simpsons. And Family Guy. And Friends. And Cheers. And, okay, you know what? Why did Greg have to get booted after one season?) I've watched all 14 episodes since I got it back. It's truly classic comedy. It centers around a sesame street-like show called Sweetknuckle Junction. The difference is that, in Greg the Bunny, the puppets are real and have as many psychosis (if not more) than their human costars. Hilarity ensues.

An example, you request? Okay. Warren Demontague is an alcoholic, drug-popping, classically trained actor. He's also a puppet ape. Tardy Turtle is, well, a turtle. And he's retarded. (Seriously; the show wasn't very PC; hmmm... I might have just answered my earlier question.) Here's an example of an interaction between the two:

Warren: Hey Tardy... listen, I need to fill some seats tonight, how'd you like to come to my play?
Tardy: I... I like to play with Warren.
Warren: No, Tardy. I will be IN a play. You understand?... performing.
Tardy: Aw, I'm not 'upposed to eat da Legos.
Warren: [mutters] Eauh, God... It's like talking to Keanu Reeves.


I know! It's awesome, right? A further example of it's wit? The opening menu for the DVD is narrated by Greg himself. "Hi, you're watching Greg the Bunny. If you want to pick an episode, just click on "Episode Selection." If you'd like to check out special features, just click on the, uh, "Special Features" over there. And if you'd like to pick languages... you... probably don't understand what I'm saying anyway..."

So, yeah, Greg the Bunny is awesomeness incarnate. You (all two of you) should check it out. I don't know if Blockbuster would have it or not; but Best Buy has it for $22. You should buy it if you can't find it to rent; seriously. It'll be the best 7+ hours you've ever spent, I guarantee it. If it isn't, I'll... give you the 8th hour free! (Yes, yes, I ripped that off. I'll give a 9th hour to anyone who knows from where... lol; actually, I just remembered from where, and it's a popular movie, so I'm sure most people will know.)
