from now on, call me SnapCrackle
so this Pretty Okay Ho-hum Spectacular on Ice! has been going pretty darn good, peoples.
the thought behind: think muppet show meets brecht ...or better yet, don't think at all.
every week it's hosted by someone, something, or whatever new. the concept that is strung between the actual stand up acts that occur is always changing. last week, i was dead, and it was my ghost that returned to host the show. david johnson came out and insighted my rath by doing my old jokes. danforth france and josh fadem played classic english paranormal investigators with magnifying glasses, stethoscopes, muttenchops, tweed jackets, and a bicycle horn. at one point i chased the easily scared duo around the stage to the benny hill theme song.
it was good times indeed.
i bring this show up again because it is a great show and lots of fun. past hosts have included: a french performance artist, a substitute teacher, the remarkable ryan flynn, a midwestern farmer, andy forsberg with his father, wally george and his hot seat, and the spectacular has even been hosted by snap, crackle and pop with their forgotten elven brother, shit.
as seen here:
"snap, crackle, pop: Rice Crispies!"
"hey you jerks- what about Shit?!"
"pop, snap- listen here. we don't need crackle. the jingle would sound so much better without him. you know: snap, shit, pop: Rice Mutha' Fucking Crispies!"
pop: "Oh NO! we've murdered Shit and Snap!"
crackle: "Quiet! Snap was an accident, you ASS! now it's just us. the way it should BE!! from now, call me SnapCrackle."
together: "SnapCrackle, ...pop: Rice Crispies."
and where it went from there can only be a mystery to those of you who weren't there. perhaps you should check out the next sunday's Pretty Okay Ho-hum Spectacular on Ice!
