Title: Michael Ian Black is a Very Famous Celebrity Post by: voodoolily on May 11, 2005, 10:35:03 AM I totally heart Michael Ian Black, and schild reminded me of such with his Stella post. So you should read these hilarious pieces (http://www.mcsweeneys.net/links/black/) he did for McSweeney's.
Quote WHAT I WOULD BE THINKING ABOUT IF I WERE BILLY JOEL DRIVING TOWARD A HOLIDAY PARTY WHERE I KNEW THERE WAS GOING TO BE A PIANO. BY MICHAEL IAN BLACK - - - - I'm not doing it. I'm just not. I know I say the same thing every year, but this time I mean it—I am not playing it this year. Seriously, how many times can I possibly be expected to play that stupid song? I bet if you counted the number of times I've played it over the years, it probably adds up to, like, a jillion. I'm not even exaggerating. One jillion times. Well, not this year. This year, I'm just going to say, "Sorry, folks, I'm only playing holiday songs tonight." Yeah, that's a good plan. That's definitely what I'm going to do, and if they don't like it, tough cookies. It'll just be tough cookies for them. But I know exactly what'll happen. I'll sit down, play a few holiday songs, and then some drunk jerk will yell out, "'Piano Man,'" and everybody will start clapping, and I'll look like a real asshole if I don't play it. I wonder if they'll have shrimp cocktail. Title: Re: Michael Ian Black is a Very Famous Celebrity Post by: WayAbvPar on May 11, 2005, 10:39:46 AM MIB thinks we is much funnier than he actually is. He is mildly amusing, but his smug act wears thin eventually.
Title: Re: Michael Ian Black is a Very Famous Celebrity Post by: voodoolily on May 11, 2005, 10:44:21 AM Men in Black?
Lies! He is teh funnies. And when you see him get banged by Mrs. Santa Claus wearing a strap-on, you will know my name is the lord. Title: Re: Michael Ian Black is a Very Famous Celebrity Post by: WayAbvPar on May 11, 2005, 10:45:08 AM You just think he is dreamy.
Title: Re: Michael Ian Black is a Very Famous Celebrity Post by: voodoolily on May 11, 2005, 10:46:58 AM Guilty as charged. Snide = hawt.
Seriously, though I think he reads kinda like David Sedaris, who I think is a genius. Title: Re: Michael Ian Black is a Very Famous Celebrity Post by: Pococurante on May 11, 2005, 12:33:30 PM Sedaris is the bomb. But his schtick with his family is wearing a bit thin.
Title: Re: Michael Ian Black is a Very Famous Celebrity Post by: voodoolily on May 11, 2005, 12:38:22 PM True, but his essays are good. I generally find the stories about his childhood to be the funniest, followed by when he was an adult living in NY.
