Baby, Fix That Fusebox!

Elephant Larry are one of my favorite sketch groups in the country. Their style is a bit silly, a bit smart and very delightful. Their last show, “Boom,” was a smash hit in NYC, with great reviews in the Times, Time Out New York, and elsewhere. They’ve got a new one coming in May.

You may also have heard two pieces of theirs in audio form on The Sound of Young America — “Sittin’ On a Bear” and “Francophone.” The former is a parody of “Livin’ on a Prayer,” about, well, sitting on top of a sleeping bear. The latter is one of my favorites of their repetoire, a sketch in which a young traveler recounts his trip to France — which seems to have been a whirlwind tour of the major locales detailed in the first semester of French class (airplane, family dinner, cafe, restaurant, library, supermarket, discotheque). Both are on their MySpace page.

There’s something so sweet about this film. I love it. It’s called “Baby, Fix That Fusebox!”
