Synopsis

Product Description

Brooklyn resident, comedian and really great guy (and Russian immigrant) Eugene Mirman has, among a great many other things, released two previous albums: Suicide Squeeze Records' The Absurd Nightclub Comedy of Eugene Mirman and the 2006 follow-up En Garde, Society! on Sub Pop Records. Now, three years later, The Mirm (that's what the crew on the Flight of the Conchords tour called him) is releasing the possibly offensive, but most likely charming God Is a Twelve-Year-Old Boy with Asperger's.

CD Reviews

I listen to a ton of GOOD comedy

Stephen D. Norman Jr. | Nashville, IN USA | 10/24/2009

(4 out of 5 stars)

"The other reviewer is nuts. Maria Bamford is really funny. If you enjoy the greats like Zach Galifianakis, David Cross, Patton Oswalt, Michael Showalter, Dave Attell, Demetri Martin, you know people with a sophisticated style and delivery, then you'll be right at home with this album. Great stuff. Ignore completely if you get into garbage like Carlos Mencia or Dane Cook. This is quirky indie comedy by an interesting person for interesting people."

Another great album from Eugene

G. Pulido | Chicagoland | 11/02/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I first saw Eugene on the Comedians of Comedy tour a couple years ago. While I was least familiar with him, he was the funniest and going back to listen to his older albums confirmed that. If you are a fan of the new school, standup-is-the-new-grunge comedy, than you will love this. In addition to purchasing and enjoying this disc, I'd also recommend follow him on Twitter.

Gheez O'Pete thanks, Mr. Mirman!

Heather N. Stephenson | Nashville | 11/02/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"As with Mr. Mirman's previous two albums, I played this one so often during the first week of purchase that I debated dropping a beat behind it. And then that made me laugh and I had a moment of silent praise for Eugene and the creativity he was able to inspire in me.

I gave this CD five stars because the option to give it six was not available. So I drew the extra star on my hand and have been referencing it when needed.

Thank you, Mr. Mirman!

Of Indie Comedy and Hate

Ryan E. Nunes | Chicago, IL | 11/02/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Why would you believe a guy who starts his review in the middle of a sentence? There is a possible world in which that guy goes to comedy clubs, puts down 6 or so drinks and barely laughs at funny jokes. This is actually surprising as I would imagine his insatiable craving for jokes that involve the word "faggot" and "retard" only increases with a belly full of MGD.

This album is funny. It discusses serious issues like bears gentrifying cities and myspace ads. Also, don't worry; you don't have to like Nuetral Milk Hotel in order to enjoy this album.

"

The funniest comedian working today.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"You may know Eugene Mirman from a small recurring segment in the recently concluded HBO comedy show Flight of the Conchords. But Mirman's more than that, as this disc makes clear. It's entirely observational humor and non-sequiturs: several segments are different quizzes that Eugene finds, and fills out, and then tells people about.

Example:

'I was in Vancouver, in what I was told was the poorest neighborhood in America. Which I found very hard to believe, because has anyone ever been to Detroit. It has bears returning to the city. When bears start gentrifying a city, and opening Thai restaurants ... that is a very poor city." Then he pretends to argue with a bear.

My favorite Mirman joke is actually from En Garde, Society! - one of his previous albums. 'Somebody recently asked me, if you were any animal, what would you be', and I said a swamp, and he said 'That's not an animal', and so I hit him. Because I would be a bear. But I wanted to show, not tell.'

Comedy's very subjective, and there are a lot of funny comedians out there, but Mirman's the best, in my opinion.

By far the best part of this CD is the three-part 'radio play', which is just ... it's amazing. You must listen to believe.

You'll laugh. You may not know exactly why, but you'll laugh, long and hard."
