I Met Danish Rhythm

Earlier this evening I attended my friend and neighbor JP's birthday happy-hour in WeHo (West Hollywood, known to former SF residents as Sad Castro). After pushing through a crush of muscled-out bleached blonde boys I found JP at a table on the balcony. He introduced me around the table and as it came time for meet the conspicuously Canadian looking fellow I had a brain fart and initiated this dialogue:

ME: Do you perform at UCB?
SPENCER: No.
ME: How about I.O. West?
SPENCER: No.
ME: Huh. You seem really familiar.
JP: Maybe you know them from the sketches I showed you.
ME: Oh my goodness, you're Danish Rhythm!!! I love you guys!
SPENCER: Well JP, I see you've done a good job of promoting us.

Such is the way of the internet. You can develop a sort of transcendental celebrity amongst your friends' friends. The following is a primer on the brilliance that is Danish Rhythm's sketch comedy (Warning: While funny, a lot of their jokes aren't what one would call "school appropriate")

The following are some of my favorite videos (if you can't see them, open this post in your browser):

Hotel del Monico - Wherein a hotel guest is given more specific options than smoking or non-smoking. Spencer Crawford is the hotel receptionist.

Fosse Dancer - Wherein there is silly dancing. Also, my fellow Sage Creative Career Co-Op member Cassie stars as one of the home-owners.

Lesson 4: Guilt - Where Spencer stars as the over-zealous acting teacher we've all had and are ashamed to admit we at one point idolized.
