Again, I’m a little late. Not because I was enthralled in a sci-fi ARPG though. Went shopping again<\/em> tonight, and I figured we’d be home by like 11. Yeah, nope. Did’t get out of the damned Wal-Mart until after midnight, so having a nap after dinner instead of blogging turned out to be a bad idea. Oh well.<\/p>\n

In the spirit of my tendency to grow bored with personal projects and half-ass them towards the end, here’s another crappy short entry. And it’s the last time I’m going to talk about anything Sons of Butcher for a long time too, so don’t worry about having to put up with any more after this.<\/p>\n

\"\"Now that I’ve reviewed both of their CDs, I figure I might as well take a shot at telling you something about the show; in this case, the first season DVD.<\/p>\n

To be completely honest here, at first, I didn’t like Sons of Butcher at all. I tried watching it a couple times because I thought the commercial made it look entertaining, but it really didn’t hook me right away. It probably didn’t help that I just flipped to it during commercials while I was really watching South Park. A couple months after it debuted, I was playing Maple Story, and had Teletoon on in the background. SOB came on, and I actually ended up getting killed by those stupid low-level pigs because I kept paying more attention to the show than the game. It was at that point I started seeing that watching a whole episode made it far better than just watching small commercial-break-sized bits.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the story obviously ends with me becoming a huge fan. Hell, I even recently had a whole conversation about them with an HMV employee when she noticed and complimented my SOB t-shirt. I barely talk to people I know, nevermind complete strangers. It was great. So then the DVD? Again, I’ll have to break the honest truth: I haven’t really gotten around to watching it yet. Oops.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, I have seen all the season one episodes on TV about seven hundred times each. So I know the material pretty well. If you’ve never watched the show, it’s pretty out there. A lot of the stories are very, very outrageous and nonsensical, but they’re quite humorous at the same time. It’s all about two of my favourite things ever – meat and rock – so I don’t know how I couldn’t enjoy it. The music is great, and the characters are hilarious. I think the thing I like about it best though, is that Sol totally reminds me of Ricky from Trailer Park Boys with all of his mixed-up sayings and expressions. The “Ricky-isms” compilation on one of the TPB DVD sets is one of the funniest clip compilations I’ve ever watched, and I can only hope there’s a similar feature on the SOB season two set.<\/p>\n

Speaking of extras… I’m not sure what comes on the Sons of Butcher season one set, if anything. The back of the case doesn’t mention anything but commentaries, and nobody says anything about any extras in the Amazon.ca reviews, so I’m assuming commentaries are it. A little disappointing, considering that the Metalocalypse DVD set is all about the extras, but that’s just the way she goes. The fuckin’ way she goes.<\/p>\n

Oh, and Doug’s “Bitch, are you fo’ real?” is totally worming its way into my regular vocabulary. So don’t be surprised if by six months from now I’m saying it all the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
