Doug Benson's "Hypocritical Oaf"

[zachyc]

Just got the CD and i'm lovin' it. also I am pumped to see Sir Doug in Bloomington.

(smart bunnies like carrots)

that made me laugh out loud

[dougbenson]

i think you mean lol.

I just spent actual money for a physical version of this record album, like "Unbalanced Load" before it, and "Professional Humoredian" before that. All this paying for recorded material nonsense must be part of the whole 90s-throwback trip I've been on lately.

Also, it's weird how I spent money and now have to wait for it to ship as opposed to not paying any money for something and having access to it immediately. Perhaps it is this flaw in the content delivery system that has driven record companies LITERALLY TO THE POINT OF IMPLOSION. And when I say "literally," I mean in the context of literal implosion, because those Record Companies have actual vacuums inside of them.

Purchased and listened! Thanks for the funny, Doug!

[L3XDYSIA]

W T Fuck!?

[carrots]

i was listening to this on the way home from work and had like 3 more tracks to listen to, so i was listening to it in bed and the "BONUS TRACK!" totally jarred me awake, and then Doug proceeded to talk about what had just happened to me

[dougbenson]

boo ya

(stoned people can predict the future)

I gots a Q.

Now that you're a bit older and wiser, seems like sometimes in the podcast a crabbier (but still hllarious) side of you comes out from time to time, the TJ VS The World eppie being the most obvious example. Have you ever thought of incorporating an angrier or more crtiical view into your set? Sort of like Cross' bit about loving pot but hating potheads.

[ASR]

Finally ordered it on Amazon! Will report back with my inevitable praise once it arrives.

i'm just trying to keep it real while trying to remain entertaining. not into speeches or rants, per se. david is great at what he does, but, occasional crabbiness aside, i try to make my approach lighter.

(speaking of which, where is mine?)

Where is your what?

1. Will you have posters at the Baltimore show?
2. Can I have a poster at the Baltimore show?
3. Is the next number after 2.

A note to AST members: Sometimes when someone like Paul or Doug or Jimmy P will release an album/dvd my first thought is that I've probably heard most of the material through podcasts and various nerdsources. I think I might have heard ONE of Doug's jokes on the album. It's always great to be surprised by one of your "old standards" and this album definitely did.

I was actually surprise after listening to Hypocritical Oaf how little of this material he did when I saw him live in June. He did the Peanut Lady, McDonalds, and Weak Back, but then it was mostly stuff on "Load" or yelling back at the stupid drunk people. Either way, it was refreshing.

sorry i didn't have posters, bunny. hope you didn't mind having to settle for an extremely close-up pic of our faces!

[dougbenson]

HYPOCRITICAL OAF is still number 2 on the iTunes comedy cd chart. i'm so proud!

(of my ability to self-promote)

[crlygrl]

I ended up listening to it before going to the show even though I said I'd wait. SO funny. The kid in the well bit... it needs to be turned into some kind of PSA.

[smartbunny]

It's OK, db. You signed the poster I got out of the crapper.

[dougbenson]

oh, yeah, right.

(i really do remember)

[smartbunny]

I believe you!
