Were you at Neil Hamburger's show at the High Noon Saloon last night? We were. Let this fuzzy iPhone pic prove it:
Or did you make it to "RiffTrax Live: Plan 9 from Outer Space"? We missed that unfortunately, but had a lot of fun laughing at Neil Hamburger and his painfully bad jokes — and JP Inc. and his theme songs for TV shows that don't exist.

How did you hear about Neil Hamburger? He's the funniest man in show business!
Speaking of too soon for good taste: Michael Jackson's remains have been placed in a drawer in one of those apartment house of the dead setups at Forest Lawn cemetery. The New York Post's headline? STACKO.
"How did you hear about Neil Hamburger?"
Through my older son... at least 10 years ago.
Neil Hamburger has evolved into a sort of insult comic these days. I don't think I like that as much as his first recordings. I have a his "Tribute to Princess Diana" tribute 7" record which is one side of the usual bad jokes and the other side is "A Moment of Silence for Princess Di." Literally six minutes of no sound, nothing. The record advises, "NOTE: For maximum tribute, please play at 45 RPM. This track can be adapted to function as a Moment of Silence for Sonny Bono by playing at 78 RPM"
At least 10 years ago! You were hip to Neil Hamburger in the last freakin' century man! That was in a whole other millennium. You go waaay back with Neil Hamburger.
Robert G, that's pretty funny. I never heard of this guy until I saw him on RedEye recently. His appearance skeeves me. Looks like the nerd from the Van Halen videos in the 80's grown up.
I remember listening to recordings where the audience really didn't get what he was doing, and it took a lot of nerve to go on like that. It made it especially funny.
