So thanks to the magic of basic cable, specifically Comedy Central, even more specifically Tosh.0, and yet even more specifically the [Oct. 2 episode](http://tosh.comedycentral.com/video-clips/daniel-meets-krispy-kreme) of Tosh.0 on Comedy Central (link goes to video), I’ve been introduced to the horrible, embarrassing laid-back flows of “southern” “rapper” Krispy Kreme. I watched Tosh’s interview with horror, thinking “Please, Daniel, stop making fun of this poor ol’ retarded boy.” Seriously, Krispy looked brain damaged. I couldn’t even laugh, though, boy, did I want to. So after the show, I turned to the magic of the Internet, specifically YouTube, even more specifically the [Krispy Kreme channel.](http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC77bLHly_nVZJzL-nXSO2XQ) He’s gotten semi-famous (more than 180,000 fans on Facebook!!) by being an absolutely pitiful rapper. But after watching a couple of his videos, I’m not so sure ol’ Krispy is a poor ol’ retarded boy after all. I think he’s actually a skilled rapper, videographer, writer, and comedian. I’m pretty sure he’s pulling our leg with this whole schtick. His songs are awesomely bad. I can’t stop watching these things. I think man’s a genius. Anyone else appreciate the hilarity of this cat? If you haven’t seen him yet, here are a few samples to whet your whistle.

> [@Happy\_Lendervedder](#): > > [The Baddest.](http://youtu.be/oOR-oxjXwWM) 1. Life imitating art. Remember when Sweet D dated a rapper and wasn’t sure he was um, [mentally handicapped](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjVSUjJHNu0&feature=related)? 2. “Strictly hand held is the style I go. Never rock the mic with the panty hose.” [MCA](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neawPHsSep0&feature=player_detailpage#t=35s), we need you now more than ever. 3. Actually, I liked it, but I’m also a fan of [Wesley Willis](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWWsWP9bPAg), and Andy Kaufman. ---

I love those so much I’d buy a shirt if they weren’t $30. ---

Actually the third video of his that I watched, [Wasteland](http://youtu.be/9lifhFsT74o), made me realize this guy was no yokel. ---

It’s as if Forrest Gump decided to be a rapper. Actually, I don’t think he’s retarded, but I do wonder if he maybe sits on the autistic spectrum–he comes across as quite sweet, really. There’s something that creeps me out about Money Maker Mike, though.
