Monday’s are a real, true blue motherfucker, and its been that way since man came up with the 5 day work week. Breaking down the days of the week is fucking child’s splay so:
- Monday: Sucks like the motherfucker it is.
- Tuesday: Not really all that fucking great, but it’s one day closer to the weekend so advantage Tuesday for not being Monday.
- Wednesday: AKA hump day the pivotal middle of the work week turning point. Half the bullshit work week is done and only 2 more to go until the weekend. Plus one of those 2 remaining work days is fucking Friday.
- Thursday: Nothing special other than being the day before friday.
- Friday: Last day of the work week AND motherfucking payday so time to fucking party.
- Saturday: Do whatever the fuck you damn well please day because you still got Sunday to fall back on.
- Sunday: Relax like a motherfucker because tomorrow it’s motherfucking Monday all over again.
With that said this Monday’s FYB post features the video BANNED SUPER BOWL UNO COMMERCIAL by alternative comedy Allstars in the Oddest of the Odd. Now I’d like to take a fucking moment here to comment on the alternative comedy genre so I will. There is so fucking much I get a fucking kick out of when it comes to alternative comedy, but in the interest of saving time here is a brief list of just some of the attributes of alternative comedy I think are wildly entertaining:
- Alternative comedy is the suspension of disbelief personified as some attribute of the genre include dealing in.
- grossly over exaggerated extremes
- use of Cerebral surrealism
- often manic energy/intensity
- propensity to use outlandish violence
- Its unorthodox/unconventional creative process
- the over the top showmanship.
- The sheer bizarre insanity of the content/subject matter
- Truly unique artists and various art forms.
- The total disregard for tradition comedy/traditional comedy formulas/traditional creative processes/traditional comedy norms.
In my view alternative comedy is an evolved version of the theater of the absurd best personified by the likes of the British television series Monty Python’s flying circus (1969-1974) and subsequent Monty Python Movies like Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) or Monty Python: The Meaning of Life (1985) for example. Monty Python were comedy pioneers who brought the theater of the absurd to the mainstream public. There was also during that time period the brilliant performance artist Andy Kauffman (January 17, 1949 – May 16, 1984) who deserves just as much credit for his work in/with the theater of the absurd as Monty Python does.
Then by the mid 1980’s the theater of the absurd genre of comedy had faded from the public eye and back into obscurity once again. That was until Canadian comedian Tom Green hit the scene on MTV in 1994 with the ground breaking Tom Green show. Green essentially rebooted and rebranded the theater of the absurd into the alternative comedy genre of today. Basically if there was no Tom Green show there wouldn’t have been an Adult Swim, Comedy Bang Bang, or The Eric Andre Show and many, many more of todays artists/acts.
But I digress for now so ONTO THE VIDEO MOTHERFUCKERS!
