Canada's own Phil McCracken offers a guitar tutorial for folks just starting out. If guitar isn't your thing, how about keyboards? Bodybuilding? Also, ladies, he's available!

His face near the end of that first video, when he's rockin' out, is pretty priceless.

There really is a Phil McCracken? Next you'll be telling me that there really are two gay roommates called William Fitzrobert and Robert Fitzwilliam.

Mediocre, jack_mo? My vote is for genius.

I dunno, for me, he just kept threatening to be funny without quite managing it. (The guitar faces did cause me to smirk slightly, admittedly.)

I mostly enjoyed how deeply he got into the character. Also, his Ontario accented speech and mannerisms make him resemble a male, gay-confused version of my aunt. Which, trust me, is a concept that is funny indeed.

I didn't quite appreciate this until I watched the bodybuilding one. "I don't take steroids... but I do have corn flakes every morning."

There's a certain Crispin Glover as a young George McFly aspect to the character that is really quite lovely.

This is great stuff, and it's nice to see some realness after reading the FISA-Obama thread.

Actually, I love how understated it is. Sweet.

Comic genius...had me going when I fired up the guitar video, and I only realized it was really comedy when he started playing. It was too painful to watch all the way, though. I had to look again, and I about died when he called the keyboard a "Ya-ma-ha...keyboard..." Too much, it's too rich, like dark chocolate, or a really thick porter ale. Best enjoyed slowly and in small amounts.
