Neil Hamburger - Hot February Night (2007)

Taking a quick detour from Zappa to discuss one of the greatest comedy albums of all time, Hot February Night! Neil Hamburger, if you aren't in the know, is a comedic alias of the great Gregg Turkington. He is a crude and offensive insult comedian who specializes in pissing off thousands of audience members with his provocative form of anti-comedy. And this album shows this aspect off greater than any other, as Neil has been given the chance to open for famous comedy rock duo Tenacious D, in front of a crowd of hundreds of angry frat boys and Jack Black fangirls. And it's just as genius as it sounds. He comes out on stage with rousing applause and cheering, one girl even yelling "We love you Neil!" Everything seems okay until Neil makes his first joke (a very tasteless gag about Paris Hilton's Christmas), and the audience seems more confused than anything. Then after he makes his second joke of the evening, the boos begin, Neil reacts with an insult, and the whole show just goes off the rails from there. Jokes about Tommy Hilfinginger, the Day the Music Died, fecal breath, and Dark Side of the Moon continue to rile up the audience until Neil is booed off stage in the end. Absolutely marvelous. Check this album out, it is absolutely a comedic masterpiece. This man is my hero.

Audience: "You suck! You suck! You suck!"

Neil: "Yeah, I suck money out of your wallets and into mine!"
