Ladies and Gentlemen: Eddie Pepitone

Those of you who know me know I like comedy, even though I'm not funny. It's not really a paradox, but it's close.

Eddie Pepitone sort of works outside the mold of the typical alternative comic, who is usually hip and articulate, even though they pretend to be neither of those things. Pepitone comes off as a blue-collar, Brooklyn guy with little education, but the motherfucker speaks the truth. His punch lines aren't chiseled in stone. He's got the guts of a Bill Hicks and... well, no, I think that's pretty much all he's working with: guts.

Here he is talking about auditioning for a laundry detergent commercial. Enjoy.
