the feeling when you wonder if there is a super specific video in existence about a super specific thing and then there is
If it's not, you should make it so others on day can have the same feeling as you just had.
This is such a weirdly satisfying breakdown and I'm glad it exists
Game recognizes game. Thank you for joining in the weirdness.
@@garrettgibbons you shoulda caught kinked sax and the freak lips, that’s gotta be a Dizzy Gillespie reference. Look up a video of Dizzy playing and you’ll get it. Just changed it to a sax instead of trumpet.
This guy could be a frequent guest on the colgate comedy hour
The alto with the kink in it is a reference to Dizzy’s modified trumpet. And Shorterly is a portmanteau or Wayne Shorter and Cannonball Adderley who both played in Miles’ band at different times. The freak lips could be Dizzy or Louie Armstrong, as both had crazy and famous mouths/cheeks, but not necessarily lips.
I was also thinking of Maynard Ferguson since he could absolutely hit the high notes all night
This is absolutely what it is. In jazz legend, Dizzy's trumpet got its kink by someone falling on it or something. but this is definitely a reference to his modified trumpet, hard agree.
Dizzy is exactly who I thought of too! I’m glad I’m not alone on this
The Lip is Harry James
And 100% spot on Dizzy
Thank you for this. The skit is hilarious and this explanation is almost as funny.
PAUL BUFANO! PAUL BUFANO!!!
Thank you so much for watching!
THEE PAUL BUFANO!
Hell yeah, brothers.
This was my favorite skit. I felt bad bc i am an avid jazz listener and I didn't recognize any names Howie said. I am glad most of the names were made up
I think part of the brilliance of the sketch is that the condescending elitism of Howie’s character is convincing enough that people who are jazz fans can have a response like yours: we actually feel like we’re too “meat and potatoes,” and have been missing out on the obscure gems! The names are (for the most part) believable enough that even a hardcore fan has to wonder!
Howie humbled me for sure haha
I think the sax with the kink in it is supposed to be a loose reference to Dizzy Gillespie who played a trumpet with a kink in the middle of it which turned the horn upwards.
This is really great! My interpretation of the trumpet player with the freak lips was Dizzy Gillespie because of the way his cheeks puffed out when he played. Also, he played on a trumpet with the bell pointed upward because once he dropped his trumpet, it bent like that and he liked the look, so that might be the inspiration for the alto sax with a kink in it as well, but that ones more of a stretch
My thoughts as well
Mine was Louis Armstrong cus his nickname Satchmo comes from Satchel Mouth
came here to say this exactly
Respectfully, Maynard Ferguson played the fuck out of the triple c
genuinely cannot believe the Colgate bit is real. I thought that was comedy genius until now😂😂
Watching this as I eat some gazpacho soup.
Tim Heidecker brought in the Colgate Hour reference, I guarantee it. In fact, Tim probably wrote most of that skit. Tim is a genius.
I think Mark Proksch ghost wrote.
@@acsone3546 they're a great team, all of them
As a maker of gazpacho soup, I highly appreciate this breakdown.
Do you make it hot or cold?
The man with the freak lips who can hit the high C's all night is more than likely Maynard Ferguson. He was notorious for playing the triple c on a trumpet and he could hang the trumpet from two strings on his ceiling, step up to it and play the triple c without using his hands (bad technique involved pressing the trumpet into your lips to force your armature to stretch, but he could pull it off the correct way.)
That’s what I was thinking. One of my favorite Trumpet players of all time, as a jazz trumpet player for 6 years myself. Gospel John is a great tune and I enjoyed playing first on it.
The sax with the kink in it might be referencing Dizzy Gillespie and his twisted trumpet
This is pretty much the correct answer.
Howie: He was also a frequent guest on the Colgate Comedy Hour...
Me: oh no!
Every time I get up from my couch I sigh like the character
This is amazing - “I researched them all and they’re all fake” lmaoooo
Tim Heidecker is an enthusiastic consumer of books (and documentaries) on music/pop culture history, and Robinson is also passionate about older stuff as well, especially that of Detroit, so this was a perfect match. But this is also a very accurate dig at "up-and-coming" (at best) GenX/Millennial comedians/nerdwriters in LA/NY who've stayed past the "sell-by" date for a proper career, got well into their '30s and staked a social claim in their "church of whichever Improv group" and tend to spend their days and nights hogging up space at their "Terribly Important" little "Algonquin Roundtables" at their local, or even huddled together in a corner at a private party they've been invited to, where they can't even genuinely engage with the host or anyone else there, trying to outdo each other with the Most Obscure Reference Ever. Not naming names, but It's really a bummer to witness in real time, and I've seen far too much of it.
They did me proud-nailed it to the wall.
PUAL BUFANO! cmon how hard is that
I think it fits with Tim's character Howie that he wants to come off as a Jazz know-it-all, without knowing anything at all. He truly only wants to make everyone else sound inferior when he himself hasn't even put the work in. He expects that no one cares enough to research it and call him out - that's where Garrett Gibbons comes in.
It's literally just a comedian riffing....
@@Foopnhkinda like the good old days on the Colgate Comedy Hour
ROY DONK HAS A SPOTIFY AND IT'S DOPE!
Of course you don’t think Mookie Kramer is real… look at how uncomplicated your shirt is.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for this! I wanted to look all of them up but after the episode I figured too many people posting online about those names would make it harder to know for sure
Tim and I are about the same age, and grew up around the Detroit area on the same TV stations. I grew up without cable, but also spent a lot of time with my grandparents, so I definitely grew up aware of the Colgate Comedy Hour. That's especially true if you were a kid who liked comedy or wanted to do comedy. I can't remember what affiliate re-ran episodes, but it was definitely something he probably would have seen as a kid if he was around older people.
That’s super cool! Thanks for sharing!
Great video! 😂 Love this show & sketch
Thanks for watching!
Hands down one of the best sketches of all time.
OMGGG THank you for making this. God bless you, FR.
Amazing video, very well produced!
So awesome you took the time out to review this lmao! Paul Bufano! Paul Bufano!!!
Thank you so much for making this video.
This one time at a bar I was outside staring at the stars cause I’m a fuckin weirdo and some hipster dude smoking a cigarette like 10 feet away goes “yeah and I can’t remember the guys name but he was James Brown’s drummer” and i just said ‘Clyde Stubblefield’, still staring straight up into space. The guy was like “yeah thanks, anyway” and continued chatting, completely indifferent. I never could really explain the sensation that moment gave me until I saw this sketch..
I love this story.
This video deserves an award
Did you make this thing last night so you’d have a video to show?
I have one. Everybody has one. I just can’t. Remember. How. To search. It.
Dizzy Gillespie famously played a Trumpet with a kink in it. Also could hit that high C all night long.That’s probably the reference for the kinky alto sax
But did he have the freak lips?
@@treyebillups8602 Dizzy Gillespie does sort of have freak "lips" because his cheeks blew up like a frog.
The Two Tims are my favourite comedians, but the whole gang, all the Erics, Dougpound and the poundhouse crew, Saul Goodman, Tobias Fünke, Greg Turkington (kind of a greghead, myself, but DEKKAR had some great hits), Neil Berger, Vic Hamburger, RIP Dick Dunn, Ron Auster and the beefhouse boys, hell, even those pesky birthday boys! Their jokes really bring tears to my eyes. Tears of joy, tears of absolute insanity, tears of pain mostly, because for some reason I have to make a bowel movement, every time I sit down at 6:00 pm for the Colgate Comedy Hour but I don't like missing a single moment of it, so I sit on it. By the time I get a chance to grace the bathroom with my godly presence, the feces has been resorbed into my body and into my bloodstream. It's a real problem and I should probably see a doctor about it but my priest told me I shouldn't listen to doctors or scientists of any kind and buy this miracle cure from him in his office in the back of the church there at like 30 bucks a box which is like 2 litres of miracle cure. I mean I could turn around and sell it on the street for double or triple the profit I got friends I know a couple guys who could move this stuff like it's bacon pancakes during a breakfast shortage. If you're interested in loaning me the 30 bucks we could get this stuff off the ground in no time. I'd be willing to go 60/40 on this, pal, now thats just plain old classic American value that you can't get outside of the walls of this beautiful country.
I feel like art, philosophy, commerce, and human evolution all converged at once in the comment section, and I’m just grateful to observe it firsthand.
Good luck with the poo!
Sounds like you’re hungry, you should have some of your Arizona walnuts...
Bahaaa Pristimmee
Is this art?
I DONT KNOW HOW TA HEAR ANY MORE BOUT JAZZ MUSIC!
THEY SAID “SHOOT”
You’ve done the lords work thank you
I had to write that Wayne Shorter never played alto. I realize how nerdy this is but I had to do it.
Not all heroes wear capes.
"Shorterly" is definitely combining Wayne Shorter and Cannonball Adderly.
I found this video while I was about to do what Garrett did.
I salute you, sir. If you discover anything I missed, please share!
Roy Donk is still real to me, damn it!
The sax with the link is a reference to bebop trumpet virtuoso Dizzy Gillespie, whose horn was famous for its bent and upturned bell. The man with the freak lips that could hit the high notes is referring to another trumpeter, Louis Armstrong.
Okay the thing I got most from this was that the beat of "Uma Thurman" from Fallout Boy was just wholesale lifted from The Munsters theme song.
Thank you for this!
"wayne shorter played with miles davis" THAT'S IT??? THAT'S ALL YOU GOT???
I totally Googled "tuk tuk king" got this😅
I cant believe this exists
thnk you for postiv this :)
Gispacho joke hit best in that skit
Nooo wayy man!
I quite like the thought that all the names are close to the real thing because he just didn't get them right and all that time he was making a fool of himself and his Jazz knowledge. a FOOL!
Thanks! I was wondering if any of these were real.
Thank you for this.
im glad someone made a video about it
Jules buffano, king of the tuktuk sound
A bunch of names close to real names..that's what my memory will be like in 10 years. I'm already getting names half-right these days. haha
I mean, he’s no Roy Donk, but he was a regular guest on the Colgate Comedy Hour.
Lol this is one of my fav skits
This video made me laugh like I was watching the skit 😂😂😂
This is great😁🤙
Well done!
This is legit content!!!
Maybe the jazz musicians Howie mentioned were SO esoteric that hardcore jazz aficionados wouldn’t even know about them! Considering Howie’s characterization that would make sense.
I mean, that’s kind of the premise of the skit and the joke baked into the character. I just thought it would be fun to chase down the references.
I own episodes of the Colgate Comedy Hour on VHS!
Nothing meat and potatoes about that.
This guy took a lap to see what's real.
Nobody could get me in to Club Haunted House before this.
Freak lip could be a reference to Louis Prima and his song "The Lip"
god damn it i thought i was original with the "Colgate Comedy Hour" but then my dad pointed out it might be from a tim robinson sketch
OH MOOKIE KRAMER IS REAL, HE IS VERY REAL IN FACT, I MET HIM AT A DINNER.
I enjoyed this
Wowwww dude… amazing
Covid boredom leads to obsession, my guy.
Paul bufano?!
How hard is that.
Not a sax, but Dizzy Gillespie played a trumpet with a kink in it.
Mookie Kramer could be Gorni Kramer
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorni_Kramer
Speed running shorts: Theyre all improvised GG
Me when I'm talking about something I know nothing about
"I did a bit of investigation to find out how many of these incredibly obscure names of jazz musicians are real and none of them are, thank you for watching".
Paul Bufano! Paul Bufano!
Wayne Shorter not shorterly
Some of them are real??!!?!
1:45 Jules Buffano
I hope your gazpacho soup was ice cold and not room temp
I sure hope not! I don’t want to burn my lips. That would feel like my mouth is on fire. It would feel like my body’s on fire.
Please be careful not to burn your mouth on the soup
Wayne Shorter, not Wayne Shorterly.
Thank you for the kind correction, good sir.
@@garrettgibbons great idea for a video, because when I fist watched that sketch, I knew some of the names were fake, but had a feeling something was real
JULES BUFFANO!
0:21 now do one for Club Haunted House
That’s too easy. Everyone knows that Kim Kardashian’s head already fell off. She was doing a lap to see what’s real.
We , obessive minds, have such great memory 😂. Love to see that in another person 😃
I think you should leave
sweet fact check 👍
i play madden (video game) and tiny boop squigg shorterly is a player that was made in one of the custom rosters by a youtuber. so Tim Robinson must play madden lol
Jules buffano duh jules buffano!!
you made me look great in front of howie
I feel like "the guy with the freak lips who can hit the high C all night long" is a reference to Maynard Ferguson.
I also feel the "Alto sax with a kink to it," is referring to Dizzy Gillespie's curved bell trumpet.
This was funnier than the skit I think
most of it is a "tribute"
🎶You gotta believe. Just a matter of opinion. You had to be there. 🎸
nice enough research, but you surely could point out that jules bufano was the writer of King of the tucker trot sound!
He did
This guy can suck the joy out of any joke. Top marks!
Your forehead is mesmerizing.
Not sure if you’re quoting a sketch that I’m unfamiliar with, or if I just received the most unique compliment of a lifetime.
TLDW: “not real but names someone not even close to made up name” for 90% of references.
You know how people say "never explain the joke"
this is worse.
really sucking the life outta nice sketch
Haha totally! This is one the best examples of 'too much time on my hands' I've seen for a while....... so basically most are fake..... mate, no need for the breakdown, some projects can be left unrecorded!!
This is such a waste of time
You are really reaching bro.
