Another week has passed and that means another episode of Tourgasm. I was considering writing another commentary for it, but the amount of time involved is daunting, and this episode didn’t really warrant the same amount of scrutiny. That’s not to say there weren’t some amazing moments in it. Because there were. What I’ve decided to do is each week give you the highlights of the episode. Anyway, enough of my yakkin’, let’s boogie.

In this episode the boys are left wondering whether things will be the same since Bobby Kelly broke his knee, man. I fail to see how much different his act will be with a leg brace on. He’s still the same dude that thinks combining the words “cunt” and “sweat” together equals something worthy of laughter. You’d have to break more than your knee to get a new perspective on that.

Anyway, aside from a bit of wincing, hobbling, and a sheen of sweat covering his mug, his act seems to be exactly the same. But Bobby has grave concerns over whether he’ll be able to give his patented “120 percent.”

It’s ok though, because Dane picks up the slack with his animated joke-telling. In this episode Dane continues his exploration of feces inspired humor. This time around Dane trades in the real thing for a tale of how to to affect people’s lives. His instructions are pretty simple. Go to a party.

Shit in the coatroom (which Dane, ever the dedicated storyteller, acts out). Then, when someone announces the poop, say “what?” and vanish into the night. That’s it. Dane then receives a standing ovation.

Here’s the audio of the joke

Then it’s off to New York city, where the most exciting thing that happens is Dane talking to some kids while he’s got a donut in his craw.

“Hey, you guys like stand-up?” They answer with a yes, and then list Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock as being their favorites. I have a suspicion of what’s coming next from the resident egotist, and Dane does not disappoint.
“You like Dane Cook at all?” he asks them. And is met with this response:

In case you can’t tell, that’s a look of serious bewilderment. The kids have no idea that Dane is actually the guy in front of them who can’t stop shoving donuts in his face. So how do you salvage such a moment? By asking The TLC Killer to breakdance of course.

To paraphrase Shania Twain, that don’t impress-a them much. Everyone else seems to think it’s hilarious.

Then it’s off to Pennsylvania, where Dane tells his jokes to 7,500 screaming college students.

Dane gets so excited by the response, that when he gets back to the greenroom he begins to animatedly (does he have any other way of communicating?) describe how amazing the experience was.

His enthusiasm is lost on his previously unseen tour manager, a buttoned-down looking fellow who shows almost zero enthusiasm for Dane’s tale. Dude just stands there with his hands in his pockets and a half-smile on his face, politely waiting for Dane to stop raving about himself. We’re nearing the end of the episode now, so after showing Dane get a standing ovation from the largest crowd he’s played to date, then yammering on and on about it, on what note could we possibly end the episode?

By showing Dane stuff a banana into Jay’s unsuspecting mouth. Sidenote: nice job boom mic operator. Go back to film school, asshole.

Everyone finds this completely hilarious.

Including Jay Davis, who doesn’t seem to mind having a phallic shaped fruit shoved into his mouth. And after making thousands laugh, as well as his amigos, director Dane Cook decides to end the episode.
