Yeah, you know Greg Behrendt. He’s The Guy From That Thing. His face is so familiar! Did he used to date your sister or something? Oh, that’s right: He’s the guy who wrote the wildly popular ladies’ advice manual He’s Just Not That Into You. And based on what you think of that book, you’ve probably already decided whether or not you’re interested in his other work. But Behrendt is, by trade, a comedian, and his comedy deserves to be judged on its own merits. In an album that accompanies the Comedy Central special by the same name, Behrendt expounds upon the perils of being Ty Pennington of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, things that disappoint God (hint: anal sex), and his “morbid fear of shitting in my pants in front of people.” In this time of conceptual and alternative comedy, he’s a traditional dude’s funnyman, hitting all the major bases: sex, weird snack food, bathroom humor. He certainly isn’t the most inventive of contemporary comics, but when it comes to getting laughs, well…the audience on the recording sure seems satisfied.
