A Comedy Quandary, You Decide

0
0

You know what’s funnier than regular comedy? Comedy that involves singing Brits. Now, before yesterday, I’d have said that nothing topped “Free Love Freeway.” It’s got everything I need for a belly laugh. It’s a genuinely catchy song, but it’s so brutally douche-chilly that if you DO happen to play it in your car, you’d better be at your top ironically hip form, or you’ll be arrested for endangering the public.

Now here’s the issue with this one, it’s lacking a video, like this one:

The latter doesn’t win because it’s not an original creation. Sorry, Gervais, it’s an absolutely awesome thing you’ve done here, but not as good as Free Love Freeway. And this is all ok except that this week I was enlightened to the fact that this little gem existed:

And now I’m doubting myself. Yes, Free Love Freeway is awesome. It’s basically the comedy version of “I Love You, Period” and other songs of that ilk. What? You don’t remember that? Come ON.

Ok, now you do.

It’s that song, it’s Rockabye, it’s every song from the late 80′s and early 90′s where a guy who fancies himself a cowboy travels the highway looking for love on the hood of a car. And, you know, that’s great, but my lord, Matt Berry, I have trouble swallowing liquids in a world where your voice exists because I fear that they’ll come rocketing out of my nose. You are a comedy monster, so, my personal solution is for you to do some kind of raging 80′s montage duet album with Ricky Gervais. And please let Stephen Merchant do something on it, because I find his awkwardness irresistible. He would be the perfect pickle side to your comedy corned beef sandwich.

So what say you people, who wins this one? Is it Free Love Freeway, with it’s charmingly accidental homosexual mishaps, or is it One Track Lover, with the absolutely amazing rap breakdown and brutally unsexy men in too little clothing? You be the judge. I am, as always, curious to hear what you think.
