After the jump, I’ve got a brand new promotional clip from Gentleman Broncos, starring Jemaine Clement of Flight of the Conchords. To refresh your memory, Gentleman Broncos comes from Jared and Jerusha Hess, the mormon husband and wife filmmaking team behind Napoleon Dynamite. Clement plays Dr. Ronald Chevalier, a fantasy novelist. In this clip, he describes his creative process:
“To inspire myself, I turn to myself, and my own original compositions. This chord conjures up a family of electronic dogs, scavenging for a home. This suggests a planet, with 50 moons. This, an android, who discovers feelings.”
In theory I know I should find this funny, but good god is it dry. It almost makes me wish someone would get hit in the nuts, or a cross-dressing black guy in a fat suit would chase someone around with a rolling pin. Oh lawdy, chile, I done tripped an’ fell on mah sweet potata pie, now mah britches is ruined!


As long as he dresses as Bowie I’ll go see it.
Cause he’s a freaky old bastard.
FOTC Season 2, hurry the hell up!
Fuck Mike, you aren’t kidding this news cycle is fucked. Also, you may have a bedding issue. Or embedding? What the fuck do I look like, a nerd? I’m the fucking muscle around here.
What’s it been, like 3 days since a black actor kicked the bucket? My money’s on Richard Roundtree. Should be happening right about…
I Q-tipped my ears twice each this morning yet I’m still picking candles out. WTF?
My money is on Kirk Douglas. You could switch him out of the casket with Michael though and no one would know the difference.
When British humor is just too slap-sticky for you, go full Mormon.
It’s business time. Yeah.

Space Tiki Muzak… I can’t wait for the soundtrack. I really want to know where he got the idea to use Chevalier as a last name… I wonder if we met somewhere?
