So weird. MTV2 just played a 15 minute bit from “the State” just the other day. I immediately told my brother to turn it to it. Wonder if they’l be doing more of that……

I have signed every petition under the sun to get the series released on DVD. I can’t wait!!!

“You fold brightly colored paper into the shape of animals…that’s so lame!”
“It’s not lame, it’s hor-i-gam-i! I want you to know its secrets….I want you to know my secrets.”

They also put out a book called “State by State with the State” which was them supposedly on a road trip. I remember there was one part in the book where there was an event called the Free Cocaine and Supermodels Party, but they skipped it because Porky’s was playing at the $2 theater.

I am so very excited for July 14th. Like others, my adolescence was shaped by shows like The State, which accounts for my frequently offensive sense of humor.

David Wain does voice acting for this incredibly bizarre cartoon called “Superjail!” that is on adult swim. I see now that it is a couple years old, but I only just caught it about a month ago and recognized his voice immediately.

Years ago it was such a treat to see any of them in bit parts, but it seems like they have all found great success and have been able to stay relevant when so many others haven’t.

I totally agree with Leah here… this helped form my sense of humor. Everyone I know has seen Porcupine Racetrack because of me, whether they wanted to or not.

I know for sure that they’ve changed some of the music. The one example I can think of is when Barry and Levon are on, the go-to song is “Let’s Get It On”… but it’s changed to generic bow-chicka music…

Looking for the link to download the comedy CD, though…

July 14 can’t come soon enough.

Love The State! Sid and Nancy on The $100,000 Pyramid! The “Sleep with The State” contest/”concept”! “You’re pretty like my mom”! Pants! Eating Muppets! Can’t wait for the DVD, can you tell?

I have been waiting for years for the whole series to come out – the second Amazon.com notified me of it’s impending release I preordered it. Few people I know have every witnessed the glory that is the Louie/Jesus sketch, but that has to be one of the funniest skits ever played on TV. I got all of my friends into Wet Hot, and now I can force them to watch hours upon hours of The State!!!!

I was 10 when the series first aired, so really, my twisted sense of humor was developed from this show. If I had seen Tom and Ben at Comic Con last year, I would have gone all fan-girl and just about died.

Check out funnyordie.com for their “homeland security” skit.

I’m so excited for the DVD release. How perfect is it that it’s released on my birthday? I was never able to see the show when it was on, and I’ve only seen YouTube clips, but I started following all the State fellas when I became an obsessed Stella fan.

If you haven’t seen the Baxter (Michael Showalter’s movie – star and director), do yourself a favor and see it immediately. Its an excellent little indie flick with some very good actors and acting. MS is great, but Michelle Williams and Elizabeth Banks really steal the show.
