“I rock peas on my head but don’t call me a pea head, bees on my head but don’t call me a bee head….” If you’ve heard those mad flows before you’re probably familiar with the new sketch comedy on MTV starring a very interesting and unknown comedian, Andy Milonakis. Making his debut on television, Milonakis seems to be creating a wave of excitement over random sketch comedy. His corky skits have aimless plots and creative characters, but somehow, it’s all hilarious.
Andy is just your average white American that enjoys his not so average life in New York. Milonakis’ career as an entertainer began as an Internet “superstar,” making short one-man films. Andy’s most common gag was his freestyles about things he likes to eat, or things he doesn’t like. Although it may seem he is just a teenager, he’s not, actually he was born on January 30, 1976 with a growth disorder that will make him look 14 when he’s actually 29! But, 14, 21, 4, or 29 the guy can make you laugh.
Watching the show you will notice that there are no characters most people would know, except for occasional guest star appearances by celebrities like Fat Joe, Rob Schneider, and a couple of other stars. The characters that appear most often are his neighbors, one who always seems to need Andy’s can opener, another that likes to hang out with Andy freestyling and eating pancakes, a happy old lady who plays rolls as a coupon and other random things, and of course Andy’s cocker spaniel “Wubbie” who can perform telekinesis.
So if you have the time on a Sunday night around 10:30, sit down and watch Andy eat fruity pebbles with Lil’ John. If you enjoy it, great, but if you think it’s a little strange, oh well, I don’t think he will mind because after all, it’s his show he’s Andy Milonakis.
