Man, I could do a blog just about Mondo Mini-shows. It’s like they have a new series every day now? Case in point – Destructo Box.

I saw it as I was trying to figure out which episode of Baman and Piderman I was on, so I thought I would check it out.

[Update: It seems this is the second Mondo Media released episode! I really don't like how Mondo organizes their channel.]

Let’s see… a show about roommates with jokes about pirates, robots, toys (in this case, lego) and – yes, here it is, anal rape. Yep, nothing exactly new here, humor wise. I kept wanting to yell at the show, “I get it, the internet likes pirates.” And at two minutes and sixteen seconds, it feels long.

What works about it is the timing of the performers. My favorite monument is Phil gleefully chanting along with the rampaging robot, “Rape and Pillage!” That’s funny stuff.

I always try to give a new show a chance. So check it out – you’ll probably get a laugh or two. And what more can you ask of a Tuesday?
