1. a really offbeat comedy made by Mormons
It's pretty funny, but after I saw, I didn't quite know what to make out of it until later.

6. Nowhere to rent here, except for B'buster...
and I refuse to do business with B'buster, and I've been too lazy to sign up for Netflix.

8. You definitely wanna rent it first
It's really offbeat. You may get annoyed by it or you may find it hilarious. It's your call.

15. Do you remember Stillers show on Fox
That was hilarious...

There was this one bit when he pretended to be a Frenchman driving around Hollywood...

He would point out windows and say shit like Louise, she was so pretty... Michelle, oh la la.. and so on and so forth..

And then he threw this one out that became a catch phrase for me and one of my political buddies...

He drives by this double and after saying downstairs, Cynthia upstairs, Frank, I was so drunk....

So when ever we would encounter a ridiculous situation on the campaign trail, we would look at each other and one of us would say,

Frank, I was so drunk.......

Sorry, I love the off beat but this was trying just a little to hard to be off beat...

How can you be off beat when you are trying to be off beat...

You miss a beat and then your just off.....
