Godspeed God's Pottery
July 11, 2008I really enjoyed God's Pottery on "Last Comic Standing." The Christian acoustic duo did God a service every time they sang a ditty.
I didn't know if it was an act or if Gideon and Jeremiah were true believers in spreading a message.
Either way, it was hilarious.
But they were eliminated last night on the TV show -- hosted by a robotic, where's-my-paycheck Bill Bellamy.
For the past seasons "Last Comic Standing" has just done something for me. I really enjoyed Josh Blue (last year's winner) and a long list of others. Whatever happened to Dat Phan???
I'm not that big a supporter of reality TV, but the whole stand-up aspect of the show creates tractor beams for my eyes.
Esther Ku, the little Asian lady who played the little Asian lady part to death, was also sent a-packin'.
She didn't really have it. Iliza (pronounced Eliza) Shlesinger did have it.
Esther was called out during the elimination stage of the show, mainly because of her blood-curdling laugh, and she tried to take out two comics at once.
She picked on the wrong chick.
I was initially rooting for Esther, because it seemed, as she said in the show, that they were singling her out. But she didn't do the show justice.
She just wasn't that funny and Iliza was. God's Pottery was also good, but since the eliminations are left up to the audience they are a hit-or-miss group.
They also did a yo' momma segment. All the contestants got into a boxing ring and exchanged bags of tricks with timeless yo' mamma punchlines. Classic.
God's Pottery didn't walk the line. They did yo' mamma compliments. "Your mom is so awesome...she was elected Mayor of awesome-ville." Really good stuff along those lines.
So now there are two less comedians left and I'm rooting for Marcus, who does spot on Christopher Walken impersonations, with and without more cowbell.
Check out the show if you haven't already.
As a tribute, here's a little something from God's Pottery. And here's their blog.
