The I Hate David Sedaris Fan Club

Categories: Now Playing

In this week's thrilling episode of OC Weekly, Nadia Afghani previews this Sunday's Long Beach Terrace show by author/storyteller/Amy's brother David Sedaris. But our friends in the East Village Arts District present an alternate take on Mr. S. Take it away, village people . . .

A SELF-IMPORTANT EVENING WITH DAVID SEDARIS
I was listening to David Sedaris on NPR and reading David Sedaris' "Dress Your Family In Denim And Coudoury " when I saw David Sedaris from my bathroom window. He was in town to check out the acoustics at the Terrace Theatre to perfect his legendary comic timing before his big show on April 23rd. I yelled down to him, asking him how that "Prairie Home" companion thing was going but he couldn't hear me so he came up for clarification purposes and a stale FANTA. Sedaris told me about all of his new projects, like his upcoming book "How To Dress Your Family Up Like Freaking Retards" and his debut into excretory panting with his mixed media piece, "Me Dookie Pretty One Day." I really had nothing to say to him after that, and he of course had nothing to say at all, but just before he went home, we did take a solemn moment to consider the lobster. Wait. Wrong David?

I found this blog on a Yahoo! search for the words "hate David Sedaris", and looky here! Christ do I loathe him. I love "This American Life", but why does he have to on every frickin' episode? Gods, I want to hit him in the head with a cricket bat.

His sister Amy, though, is a comic genius, and (since I had previously only seen her in "Strangers With Candy"), unexpectedly hot.

Can I join the anti-fan club? I just got an e-mail from Barnes and Noble about a discount on his newest book. I hate how he thinks he's so clever in a "I'm more clever than you'll ever be" sort of way that just rubs me the wrong way. I would never buy his books (I'm a HUGE NPR fan and This American Life is my favorite show... it would be better without David Sedaris!)

Obviously you people know nothing about sarcasm, because basically thats what his books are about. He likes to push each story to a limit to get an idea in your head. You people are pathetic for putting a, lets face it comical genius of our time. Have you ever read "Stadium Pal?" If you don't think the humor and the writing is incredible then you must be incredibly dull. David Sedaris Lives!!!!
