Kyle Cease became a hit with the nostalgic geek squad in early 2006 when his
"Generation Nintendo" routine became the hot MP3/video to forward. Remembering the good old days when you'd have to blow into the cartridge to get
Super Mario Brothers to play on your slowly dying, always buggy machine,
"Generation Nintendo" is
Cease's masterwork as it hilariously flows from two button controllers to how Sunny Delight tasted like a blend of orange juice and baby medicine.
Cease makes another Sunny D analogy that's funny, gross, and not good for repeating in mixed company, and if you can't stand a little trash with your wit, you better steer clear. He may dip into scatological humor, but he doesn't use it as a crutch, and in the end he comes off as a cross between
Dane Cook and
Adam Sandler, just as hyper as the former and willing to get as obtuse as the latter. His
"My Weird Jokes" is truly weird but it warrants repeat listenings and gets funnier with every return. The first couple tracks are clever as
Cease talks about CD players counting up tracks -- watch your display, pretty cool -- and his whole set flows well, becoming looser and more rewarding as things progress.
Cook fans,
Sandler addicts, and anyone looking for a new irreverent oddball to latch onto should check it. [
One Dimple was initially released with a bonus DVD featuring
Cease's appearance on
Comedy Central's
Premium Blend and a tour documentary.]
