I wonder if this was a subconscious reference to Mr. Show's "Wicked Sceptre" sketch.
fishingblues » pro2 years ago
Onstad himself in an interview said that Mr. Show is like an apogee of comedy so I'm sure that this was a 'wicked' (see what I did there?) send up of the magic of Bob and David.
twotonturkey » pro2 years ago
I understood what you did there.
djwhiterabbit » pro2 years ago
heh, you beat me to the remark - i just rewatched the way too hilarious "wyckyd sceptre" episode of mr. show and had the same revelation. and i see from the comment below that chris onstad has confirmed his appreciation of the show...
excellent!

I'd like to point out that Ray refers to "back in his party days". Why should we think these AREN'T Ray's party days? I mean...two arcs of this strip are ray throwing/attending parties. All he does is leisure.
featurelessvoid » pro2 years ago
Now that he charges all parties to his record label, his leisure is considered business. It's a tax thing.
shoinan » neu2 years ago
If Ray doesn't think these days are his party days, his party days must've been dayum good.

It makes me sad that no one was able to correctly identify this. Truly they are the Kings of Metal.

Are those the guys from Manowar?
It's gotta be Manowar, they are the gayest. Which doesn't mean they can't rock.
I wonder if Hyddyn Sceptyre is straight up Blind Guardian type shit. I could see myself getting mad rutty with some extremely hippie chick to that music.
rowboat » pro1 years ago
Yes. Manowar. But don't be fooled - the dudes are as straight as the day is long.

Well, I'm just gonna sit here thinkin' they're gay and you'll be wrong.

If it is winter, they are as straight as usual.

Whenever a girl will let me (not often), I put on Hail and Kill during love making. It gets the sweat hell runnin' down my back. Oh yes.

As a man speaking as a lady, I would never fuck you to Manowar.
greenkoolayd » neu9 months ago
is the opening track 'gay bar'?

No, it's Big Burger.
Because I need them to check in the appropriate box, for a boy girl *funk*

if i wanted to get it on, as soon as you started playing manowar i would just be all oh dang what was i thinking i don't want to be in this crummy room trading touches with a gross fellow, i want to be part of that HALL.
unless you were playing pleasure slave, that would be cool.
it's kind of unhealthy just how much i love manowar. if i ever have a wedding, we will play brothers of metal as i walk down the aisle, each row all stands up and throws a fist in the air as i pass, tears are streaming down my face i am so happy.

Chubbied for "trading touches."

You will be the most beautiful bride there ever was, they will throw their fist into the air as Legion.

But what are you going to play for the sweet waltz with your father?
shutup_shutup » neu9 months ago
"extremely hippie chick" meaning she's a total hippie or she has extreme hips? Both are good.

if all parents described sex to their children in this fashion, the human race would disappear in a generation.

Ray referring to himself as "old Uncle Ray" to get all up in LN's mind and really paint the picture there is the sort of subtlety that makes one want to leave a comment about it.

Out of the frying pan with the frying turd in it, into the fire with the charred turd in it (via the glow-in-the-dark-skull candelabra with the turd in it).
