A few weeks ago I got some DVD from STARZ promoting a new comedy block they are starting up with original programming. . . So I did what any fan of television would do. I threw the dvd on a shelf and watched a ton of TV. Then today I got some reminder email about a show called THE BRONX BUNNY SHOW which premiers on STARZ this upcoming Weds at 11:45pm.
I figured since Im do for a break, Id pop in that DVD and see what all the hullabaloo was about. When Howie Mandel realized that the melted wax on the couch was in-fact man juice, my friend laughed hard enough to shart. That is the level of maturation this show brings.
The meat of THE BRONX BUNNY SHOW takes place in what looks like a dirty basement and two puppets Bronx Bunny and panda pal Teddy T interview celebrity guests including Howie Mandell, Stacey Keilber, George Takei, Eric Roberts and many many more. It's amazing how casually these people ease into the roll of being interviewed by a puppet and how unabashedly honest they are with them (Keibler aside).
If your thinking you've seen this before with Triumph the insult dog you're wrong. These puppets are filthy, pithy, inappropriate, but never ever intentionally rude. Triumph the insult dog is the pirck who's trying to be funny at the party that people avoid and inevitably bangs whichever girl passes out first as where Bronx Bunny and Teddy T are the party. If the world of puppets were a bad 80s movie, Triumph would be the rich jock asshole and Bunny and Teddy the loveable flawed Patrick Dempsy.
There's no giveaway associated with this post, no quid pro quo. Im just promoting what I think is one damn funny show and a great way to kill time while waiting for the pizza to be delivered. Tonally it's inline with GREG THE BUNNY, SARA SILVERMAN SHOW, ROBOT CHICKEN and in a strange way has a CONAN O'BRIEN sensibility.
I wish I could get away with posting the episode they sent me which is much funnier than the clip they are asking media to use. . . cause uncensored and in context the show is much funnier than the clip implies. That said, after the jump, enjoy a clip of THE BRONX BUNNY SHOW, which premiers this upcoming Wednesday at 11:45pm only on STARZ.
