Eugene Mirman

Eugene is great. He knows when to say things at just the right time to make it uncomfortable for everyone, and usually what he has to say makes everyone even more uncomfortable lol. He is creepy, but in a funny and harmless kind of way lol. I actually think Eugene may be the Conchords second fan, just not because of their music...

Eugene is played by real life comedian, writer, actor and filmmaker, Eugene Mirman. He has appeared on several TV shows including Late Night With Conan O'Brien, Comedy Central's Premium Blend, Carson Daly, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and Third Watch.

Eugene, the Landlord moments



From the Sally Returns episode, in the elevator:


Bret- "
ah is it because I drank all the orange juice?"


Jemaine- "
No"


Bret- "
Is it because I drank all the apple juice?"


Jemaine- "
No"


Bret- "
Was it something psychological, because I put you down in front of other people?"


Jemaine- "
No"


Bret (to Eugene)- "
He wouldn't know, 'cause he's got no idea"


Eugene- "
Why are you moving out Jemaine, is it because I didn't fix that leak?"


Jemaine- "
No"


Eugene- "
Is it because I left the wires out and you shocked yourself?"


Jemaine- "
No"


Eugene- "
Is it because the new paint job is a little brown to nouveau riche, with a tu vra cha che"
(sp?)

Jemaine- "
No"


Eugene- "
Is it because sometimes I'll sneak in when you're sleeping and give you a little kiss on the cheek?"


Jemaine- "
....No..."


*elevator dings*

Eugene- "
Here we are"




From the Girlfriends episode, Eugene is fixing a leak in the kitchen:


Bret- "
Do you think I dress too provocatively?"


Jemaine- "
No"


Eugene- "
If I may be so bold, I think you're showing a little too much arm"


Bret- "
Am I?"


Eugene- "
Mmm, yeah you look a little cheap"


Jemaine- "
No, you don't look cheap Bret, you look fine"


Eugene- "
May I make a suggestion"


Jemaine- "
No fix the sink, women don't objectify men in that way Bret"


Bret- "
Yeah ok, maybe I will come tonight"


Jemaine- "
Yeah, and wear something a little more sluttier, give her something to look at"


Bret- "
I guess I wanna show a little bit of arm, cause I...I dont want her to lose interest entirely"


Eugene- "
Yeah, you dont want the bear to go completely hungry, you dont want it to attack, so give it a little bait...keep it interested"
*as he looks at Bret like he is the bear*

Jemaine- "
Fix the sink please"


Eugene- "
The sink works, it just comes out of a different place"

has anyone else checked out his website? it has a picture of him as a kid singing songs in a creepy voice. dude is funny

yeah ziggy I saw it...it was SO creepy! But yeah, he is funny!

So I was watching TV and this commercial came on



I was so excited! It wasn't this exact commerical, it was for Rock 102 in Saskatoon, but it was the exact same just different station, and different music. I had seen this commercial before, its not new, but its one of those things where you don't realize its the same person until you actually know who they are.

Eugene Mirman

Eugene is best known for his work with The Comedians of Comedy and his role as the eccentric building superintendent on "
Flight of the Conchords."


When Eugene was in the eighth grade, he got a -8 on a math assignment. One time at a party he defeated the girl who was the backgammon champion of Chicago. When his dog got hit by a car and died, a girl told him that his dog committed suicide because it didn't love him.

Pro Wrestling Name

King Frost (the female version is Miss Freak)

Pretend you're 15. Name three songs you'd put on a mixtape for your girlfriend.

The year is 1990. I would put "
What It Takes"
by Aerosmith (or "
Janie's Got A Gun"
if I was in a goofball mood), "
Sweet Child 'O Mine"
by Guns 'N Roses and "
Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again"
by Bob Dylan.

Which evil villain would make the best president?

Magneto, because he is good natured, and he's also well informed.

What was your favorite cartoon as a child?

"
Superfriends,"
I think. I also liked "
Galaxy Rangers"
and "
Transformers."


What superpower do you wish you had?

I guess I would have to say telekinesis, because it's the most versatile. I'd want to be a much more powerful version of Scott Baio's character from "
Zapped!"
(I'd also take my powers more seriously than he did) and also from "
Zapped Again!"
(which I have not seen, but I imagine must be very, very similar to "
Zapped!"
).

What would the title of your autobiography be?

Either "
Eugene Mirman: The Story Of Oddball Immigrant Man"
or "
Please Don't S--- There: The Life and Times of Eugene Mirman."
Regardless, it would have a giant sticker on it that said, "
Now With More Swears!"

the singing child is just so amazing and creepy but in a good way. i just had to share it with the world xx

Eugene talks about Canada!

Eugene is my favorite comedian they've had on the show (unless Greg Proops shows up in season two, which I'm really hoping he will). He is so, so funny.

Daytrotter has an article and very funny Eugene mp3 up right now.

EUGENE IS A GENIUS.

I would love to see the man perform live... and see his role on FOTC be bigger in the next season! He's hilarious!

Can't forget that gem!

I'm about to voice a very unpopular opinion...

I was bummed that Arj opened the Chicago show because I REALLY wanted to see Eugene.



I hate to say it because Arj has been so good to the fans and all, and he did a great job opening for the guys, I'm just a big fan of Eugene's and was bummed he wasn't going to be at my show.

Must watch! ---->

Just kidding!

In a perfect world, I would like to have the entire cast of FOTC on stage at once, doing like... a four hour show.

En Garde, Society!

I loved the audience coupons.


EDIT: My favorite part was the magazine bible. I had to pause it so many times to catch my breath. "
Thanks, racist bible!"

I named my iPod Eugene.. I like to name inatimate objects so that I form more of an attachment to them.

Yes, I'm odd.

‘Smoking’ comedian alarms Secret Service

ST. PAUL, Minnesota (CNN) – Comedian Eugene Mirman would have arrived at the “CNN Grill” earlier had he not been detained by the U.S. Secret Service for his pants – apparently puffs of smoke were pouring out of one of his pockets.

“I was wearing a helmet and some goggles, and then I had some instant food that when you pulled the cord, the food heated up. What I didn’t know about the food I bought, which is my fault, is that it starts smoking,” he explained.

Mirman is at the Republican convention producing a series of funny, original videos for a Web site. If you’re trying to place the face: think the landlord in HBO’s “Flight of the Conchords.”

The comedian had rave reviews for the Secret Service, however, who he described as “extremely polite.”

The helmet and goggles are still a mystery.

Random Rules: Eugene Mirman
February 21st, 2006



The shuffler: Eugene Mirman, the "
indie-rock comedian"
who's opened for Modest Mouse, The Shins, and Yo La Tengo. A leading light of the current New York comedy scene, and a really funny guy. His new album (and first for Sub Pop), En Garde, Society!, will be released in May.

The Soft Boys, "
I Got The Hots"


Eugene Mirman: You literally don't ask me anything, and I'm supposed to just… Well, The Soft Boys is Robyn Hitchcock's first band, which I really like. I love Robyn Hitchcock's sort of sincerity and absurdity meshed into one. And lots of the songs are pretty. And funny.

Buddy Holly, "
That'll Be The Day"


EM: Buddy Holly, as you know, created the traditional lineup of bass, guitar, drums, and then vocalist and maybe rhythm guitar or something, and that helped everybody. And I like Buddy Holly a lot. I like a lot of '50s stuff, like The Coasters, Buddy Holly, The Bobby Fuller Four. I know that [Buddy Holly]'s still alive. He lives here in Park Slope. A lot of people don't know that. But I could be mistaking him for hundreds of writers.

Billy Joel, "
Sleeping With The Television On"


EM: I don't really know that song, but I do know the one that goes, "
You may be right, I may be crazy."
I'm not mad at Billy Joel, I like that song and I have that CD because of it, but I don't really know this one. I don't feel guilty for enjoying the song about being crazy. Plus everybody likes to hear it when you play it at a bar.

Mötley Crüe, "
Come On And Dance"


EM: I grew up listening to lots of heavy metal. And yet I still respect women, so it didn't really damage me too much. In this song, I believe he wants people to come on and dance. And I think he succeeds. My guess is I've never really danced to it. Sometimes late at night, I might. I wouldn't be ashamed to dance to Crüe.

Imperial Teen, "
Ivanka"


EM: I saw them at South By Southwest, like, five years ago and I really liked them, and I got the album On, which I enjoy a lot. Very fun. Sort of catchy, poppy, pretty album. And then recently I found out that the guy's main band was Faith No More. I think that's true. Or a totally unnecessary rumor. I don't have much to say, but it's a good time.

Emo Philips, "
A Dreamy Dilemma"


EM: Oh, here we go! I loved Emo as a kid. He was my favorite comic, and I used to listen to his two records all the time, and now I have them on one convenient CD in my iPod. His jokes are very art-and-crafty. He had stuff about [Thomas] Aquinas, which I didn't totally get as a kid, but eventually I did. And then the stuff that I did get, I really enjoyed. But he was very different from the sort of seemingly traditional comedy about dating or whatever.

Belle And Sebastian, "
You Made Me Forget My Dreams"


EM: Um, unless something triggers a high-school memory, all my descriptions are gonna be like, "
It's a pretty song!"
You know, actually, I do have something good to say about Belle And Sebastian. I saw them at Town Hall and they brought a girl onstage and they asked her what song she wanted to sing, and I believe she chose the duet ["
Lazy Line Painter Jane"
]. And it was amazing;
she sang a duet with the lead singer of Belle And Sebastian. And she did a very good job and everybody cheered, because it was so exciting. It was very charming. And I believe that one of them maybe also did an impression of Elvis Costello singing. So they were fun live, and I always appreciated that, that they made some girl's dreams come true.

Jethro Tull, "
Up The Pool"


EM: I have lots of Jethro Tull because I also am mad at organized religion. When I was in high school, I really liked Jethro Tull, and I still enjoy it. I think that I really loved and identified with their brand of arrogant orchestral rock. They do have a fair number of songs about religion being hijacked. Though I wasn't very religious or surrounded by it, I always was like "
Yeah!"
[Laughs.] I really extra-agreed with it.

Alina Simone, "
Track Seven"


EM: She's a friend of mine from high school who just finished recording her album and is now shopping it around, and I believe her EP was well-received by Pitchfork and various things. She's also Russian and my first friend from elementary school. I just got it from her a few days ago, so I haven't heard the album, but track seven seems like a great one.

Jethro Tull, "
Aqualung"


EM: [Laughs.] I believe his wife wrote the lyrics to this, so that's good. "
Salvation à la mode and a cup of tea."
That's a line from it.

Aerosmith, "
Cheesecake"


EM: I don't think I know the song specifically, but I'm from Boston. I still love their first handful of albums, because they're great indie-ish rock 'n' roll. I bet if Aerosmith's first or second album came out right now, people would really regard it well in the indie community, and then in general it would become a hit.

Aerosmith, "
No Surprise"


EM: Off of the same album, Night In The Ruts. And in that album title, they switch, I believe, the R and the N, so it's a joke about "
right in the nuts."
That's right before they broke up and then reformed to later release Done With Mirrors, and then of course the smash Permanent Vacation.

The Velvet Underground, "
The Murder Mystery"


EM: It's funny that more Velvet Underground didn't come on, 'cause I do have a great deal of it. There's lots of Aerosmith and Jethro Tull, but it is dwarfed by the box sets that Velvet Underground release every few years. When I heard The Velvet Underground, I decided to become a comedian. I think The Velvet Underground are very funny in a very specific way that I do actually really admire and love. I think each one of these things that I like at different times convey a spirit of something that I really like in art from either being fun or very poignant or interesting or whatever. That's mainly the common thread. Though at one point it was "
Yo Mamma"
by Aerosmith, because of its furious riff. And now it might be "
Beginning To See The Light."
