Post Stuff: Go Crazy Lenny.

My newfound fascination this week is Lenny Schultz. Lemme explain.

You'll either find this guy really schmaltzy, or pretty damn funny.

I was listening to a Marc Maron podcast interview with Robin Williams, and at a certain point in the interview, Williams begina discussing LA comedy scenes of the '80s, and talks about stand-up auteurism and people he remembers. Among his stories, the absolute funniest bit came when he discusses Lenny Schultz. From the interview:

"Like Lenny Schultz, and in the middle of one time, this is the strangest name in comedy. You know, giant Lenny, steroid, pumped-up Lenny, on stage doing a children's showcase for uh, Nickelodeon. And at one point he realizes this isn't going well. Then he pulls out a double headed dildo – 'HOW'S THIS FER YOUR FUCKIN' KIDS?!' And then starts playing it with 'Turkey and the Straw'"

Eh. Hehe.

The way Williams tells the story, I couldn't stop laughing for about 10 minutes. So, I looked up Schultz. And uh, maybe it's the sucker for physical gags, The Three Stooges and vaudeville in me, but this dude's pretty damn funny. Just go for the first few minutes, at least until Lenny goes all military crazy.
