4/14 Maude Highlights

[SixSider]

Winston's Minnesotan family (especially Wangert's Joke Machine).

The simultaneous water to Winston's face.

Lang's crazy coach. (This was so so well played... and so well written for Lang. If there were one continuing character I'd lie to see come back, it's this.)

Breakfast at Tiffany's. (So sweet and simple and disturbing.)

We don't toast our subs.

Phantasm del Che Guevara.

 

[David Siegel]

Ditty on "Breakfast at Tiffany's."

Tila Tequila's treatise on bisexuality was great too...as was the "do you want to talk about your parrot" sketch.

i fucking flipped for the crazy coach. also liked the weirdo-elevator man sketch alot. the tila tequila sketch was definitely running through my head this morning though.

and who among us hasn't had the 'put this in your skits!' moment at home. i just had a guy at work this morning repeat to me like 15 times 'this place is MADE for comedy! you gotta put this in your act!' when my boss was confused on how to hook her ipod up to her speakers. yup. loved it. great casting in that one too.

really fun night over all :up:

i mentioned this to a couple people already but several of the scenes were hard to hear; maybe just where i was sitting, but it made it hard to follow a couple.

I was siting 3rd row back right on audience left... and there were times I had to strain to hear.

"Ah, I just remembered- I have to buy seed today."

 

[citizenhudson]

uhh... if you guys want to complain, start a "lowlights" thread! just kidding! i had the same problem with hearing but of course i was sitting inches from pat baer's beard and mustache and i'm also 50% deaf in my right ear. holy shit tila tequila was fucking hilarious. such good casting. i was really scared i was going to be offended by it, but fran's impression was so spot on, there was no way i could get offended, even if she'd said something along the lines of "bisexuality doesn't exist."

also, crazy coach WAS SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD. so good so good so good.

jill donnelly was so spot on in all of her roles!

 

[Will Choy]

Glaser's Ringo Starr commercial voiceover was a lot of fun.

Glaser's Ringo Starr commercial voiceover was a lot of fun.

i would have thought they'd run out of pun-able song titles well before they did, but they just kept pushing it, which i loved.

wasn't 'maggie may' in there though? that is totally a rod stewart song. unless rod stewart was the original drummer for the beatles. or 'rod stewart' is one of paul mccartney's many pseudonyms.

 

[Whines]

There's a Maggie May on Abbey Road.
With Frusciante on the team, the chances of an incorrect musical reference is about as likely as Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis producing something for John Prine.

Zing!

According to the internet, Maggie May is on Let It Be.

My favorite Ringo sketch line was "The White Bottle."

 

[John_Frusciante]

I didn't get to see much of the night, but I loved the direction on the Werewolf sketch. And the gorilla racist was great.

Hey Bookbinder, I hear we wrote similar sketches. Fortunately, neither one of them were very memorable, apparently, for the IRC community.


John.

 

[benzado]

After the first Maude Night, mixtape '98 was by far my favorite team.

After the second Maude Night, I no longer have a favorite. They were all so good.

 

[Guy Patton]

The simultaneous water to Winston's face.

That was Bookbinder's sketch. They were only really similar in that they had people talking over each other, kind of like all my improv scenes.

 

[Bookbinder]

Frusciante and I wrote them at the same time, for the same show, premiering on the same night.

Ironic.

 

[Lord Hatsumi]

several of the scenes were hard to hear; maybe just where i was sitting, but it made it hard to follow a couple.

HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY!

 

[S-Class]

The mixtape '98 sketch with Tim Dunn as the old timey side kick KILLED me.

 

[Guy Patton]

Special thanks to Pat Baer for having the courage to come out as an alien. Close friends have known for a while, but for him to share his truth in sucha public forum was inspirational. Slow clap, single tear.

 

[chriskelly]

I really liked the sketch where no one knew whose cell phone was going off.
I especially liked when Fran said "I love that song. It's my ringtone! Oh. That's my phone."

Or something like that.

Special thanks to MAROON 5 everybody! and STEVE MARTIN!
