"Scott Thompson’s new touring Buddy Cole show King includes comedy too risqué for Amazon Prime."

This is happening in Brooklyn this weekend.

We finished it over the weekend and I agree, it was great. Pretty moving in the second half.

It really was. I had never heard about any of the tragic shit that Scott went through. It was impossible not to tear up a bit when Bruce tells that awesome story near the end.

KITH named one of the best 100 TV shows ever:

As teens we'd repeat the line 'Do you know who I am? I'm fucking Buddy Holly!!' all the time.

In some cases, the censorship made it funnier; "That's CRAP, Theo!" was a lot funnier than, "That's Bullshit, Theo!"

The Buddy Holly sketch is one of the funniest ones, ever.

They do get pretty out there in this one haha. I still think it's amazing that a lot of the time, I was watching censored versions of the old episodes. Just language, though, really.

Is it just me or do these push past even the craziest CBC episodes (okay, except for the one where Kevin McDonald is fucked by a dog)?

[Ian Jane]

Hahahaha. I watched it while I was supposed to be working today. Was a little bummed at first to see that it was only two 48-minute episodes, but it was the perfect length. Quite a few funny parts, and some very emotional moments. And LOTS of Bellini!

Documentary is apparently out on Prime today, so I'll be checking that out this weekend.

I didn't know this was one Prime. Watched the first episode, good to see that a couple of old dudes jiggling their Canadian bacon about is still funny in this day and age.

That's rad. I knew they were in a band and had read an interview with Thompson about it but never actually heard them.
