Damn, I just discovered this musical comedy duo yesterday after really enjoying Lindhome’s other show (Another period). I binge watched the entire G&O series (8 episodes) yesterday on netflix and today listened to pretty much every song they’ve got on youtube.
Amazing group. I’d probably say my favorite song they do is either Places to Rest or Loser.
I do hope they haven’t broken up as a comedy team. The success of Lindhome’s show might be bad news for G&O fans, if it means that she will now be too busy with other projects to work with Micucci.
As I like to mention every time they come up on here, I got to hang out w/ Riki and Kate one night after a live taping of the Comedy Death Ray podcast (now called Comedy Bang Bang) here in Chicago a few years back. We went to Moody’s Pub in Edgewater and had burgers and beers w/ them and Scott Aukerman and had a great time. They’re both incredibly nice people.
I enjoy watching their music videos on YouTube, and find their songs hilarious … but after watching the first episode of G&O on Netflix, meh. Couldn’t get into it.
I first became aware of them when Kate guested on Raising Hope. She was obviously meant to be a one-off, but they kept her has a character and she sang the doorbell song, which was so utterly charming that I went to see more online.
What I love is the way they sing about raunchy things in their innocent and matter-of-fact way.
