Who could be greater than Eric Andre and Hannibal Buress, the comedy team behind the Eric Andre Show on Adult Swim? No one. Back with a second season of the absurd anti-talk show, Andre spoke with Dave Schilling of Vice about the insane birthday parties he throws for himself every year in Los Angeles. The opening:

“Vice: 

I hope I’m not revealing too much, but your birthday parties are the stuff of legend for a certain segment of people here in LA. They go pretty much all day and all night. Why hold such a massive event every year?

Eric Andre:

You know, I don’t have any god, so I don’t have any holidays, so it’s my only time of the year to like, go all out. Just be fully self-indulgent.

Vice:

Was there a clown or something this year?

Eric Andre:

No, there was a camel, a horse, a goat, a bunny, a 300 pound stripper, two Santa Clauses, we had John K. who created Ren & Stimpy drawing caricatures. I think he left early, actually. We had a bunch of fireworks, and I got a vial of ether.

Vice:

Just one vial of ether? Did you not share?

Eric Andre:

No, you can get pretty far off one vial, since just huffing a little. It’s not like you’re chugging it. Don’t drink it.”

I haven’t had a television for more than a year, so I will pose this question to you: Is there a single network TV show that’s told from the perspective of an African-American or Latino? And I don’t mean having a minority character cast in a show created from a white person’s viewpoint. Are there many programs like that on cable? Talk about writing off the 47%. It’s not just bad ethically, but it’s bad business.

Imagine what we’re missing.

But some happy news: The Eric Andre Show on Adult Swim, one of my favorite programs, has just been renewed for a second season. So there will gladly be another burst of anarchic, Dada cabaret from Andre and Hannibal Buress.
