Free Music Notes for Come Poop with Me (CD & DVD)Free Music Review: Dude...You're Getting This DVD Hit: 3 StarsFor me the best part of this DVD was watching to see which Z list celebrity they were going to roll out next to get schooled in an insult contest by a rubber dog. And really they don't disappoint because they are more than able to find total losers willing to do anything to get their ugly mugs on TV. The whole thing works as a theater of the absurd where some jokes work and others do not but you have to take them both together. His "Sense of Smell" song is a bust as all the jokes are production line garbage that he can just apply to any tool sitting in the front row. But true to his name he can insult with the best of them, so much so that I, famous insulter that I am, found myself getting jealous that I couldn't lay the smackdown as well as he could.
Early on Triumph lets two MTV wannabes wander out and then reality checks them both, fun but they seemed to be having fun as well. This is not good. We the viewers much prefer to watch the mark/deserving chump get all worked up into a state of righteous indignation. "How dare this dog besmirch by nonexistent reputation." Enter Vincent Pastore from "The Sopranos," a man whose sole job is to be a hanger on and to hope that nobody points out that he has been swimming with the fishes since season 2. He actually thinks that he has a shot against the mutt, but when Triumph drops the "How do you keep the weight on if you don't have a job" line everybody realizes that he is out of his league. Conan O'Brien, The Man (and for once I say that as a compliment), shows up but ultimately disappoints. But for me the highlight was watching as two of the biggest stooges in the history of marketing came out and got put in their place. Ben Curtis (the Dell guy) and Jared Fogle (former fatty turned Subway mouthpiece) both make utter fools out of themselves. Jared, as usual, tries to turn his lowest moment into a commercial for his masters. Ben, thinking he still has a career, blathers on about some "Broadway" show he did but can't find the chair located directly behind him. They are both idiots and hopefully they will think twice next time they get an itch to go on TV.
I am surprised to say this but I can recommend this DVD. The jokes are vicious, which is just how I like them. It is also wholly original; Triumph takes on the role of the judgmental fan that gets the opportunity to tell the celebrities just how stupid they are. I did find it amazing that these people were willing to go on stage just to get steamrolled by a puppet, but I guess that is the reality TV culture we live in. Janeane Garofalo and Robert Wuhl just stand there and take it, which I'm sure was good for them but not so much for us. Sure some of the stuff can be skipped over, but the DVD is short and I can say that it is a worthy way of spending an hour. So for an experience like no other (unless you own other Triumph DVDs) I say check this out because it is a good time had by all not on stage. ***1/4

Free Music Review: Has its moments, but overall tries too hard Hit: 3 StarsI admit to being a Triumph fan. His work on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" and guest shots on "Hollywood Squares" are great. I finally bought this album last summer, almost two years after its release, and although some tracks brought laughs, the wanna-be edginess made this disappointing. I got laughs from "Who", "Benji's Queer", "Cats are C**ts", "Together in Pooping" and "I Keed". I have no problem with lowbrow humor, but, some songs are just vulgar for the sake of being vulgar, such as "No Rules in the Animal Kingdom", "You Had to Work Blue", and the tribute to his mom. I can honestly say that there were parts of those three songs where I actually cringed at some of the stuff he said, and I don't get easily offended. Triumph is funny on TV, when his dialogue is somewhat limited, but in an uncensored environment, he tries way too hard to be offensive.
