The State is FINALLY out on DVD! Zach and I have been watching it over the past couple of weeks, and it sort of feels like I'm re-living my adolescence (well...the good parts of it, anyway). My favorite sketches are still just as hilarious as they were 15 years ago: "$240 Worth of Puddin'," "Monkey Torture," "Choking," "Taco Man," "Captain Monterey Jack"...so golden. "Hello, cheese?" "NO! Cheese can't dial a phone!"
And that's not the only exciting news in the world of sketch comedy DVDs--the British cult hit The Mighty Boosh was also just released in the U.S. for the first time. I don't know how I never heard of it until now (well, I guess the reason is actually pretty simple...I don't live in England!), but while listening to NPR in the car yesterday, I heard an interview with the two guys behind the show. I checked it out when I got home, and oh my god...so funny. Apparently it's been on the BBC since 2004. There are also a bunch of clips and some full-length episodes online. Here is my favorite clip:
Reminds me a bit of Young Ones ("Anybody here like The Human League?"). Also, that one dude's hair is AMAZING. Happy weekend, everyone!
