Christopher Titus - The Fifth Annual End of the World Tour
- Christopher Titus, the star of his own sitcom, Titus, which ran from 2000 to 2002, releases his latest discharge on all the happenings occurring in both the world at large and his own personal life with The Fifth Annual End of the World Tour. This two disc set covers many turbulent topics which are plaguing the country, and Titus does a masterful job of turning these horrid events into something the audience cannot stop laughing about.
On “August 25th, 2001,” the day Titus’s wife gave birth to their first child, Titus expounds on what horrible things have befallen the country since that day, and jokes by saying, “In the five years my kid has been alive all hell has broken loose on the planet Earth and I’m not blamin’ her for all of it. I’m hopin' it’s a coincidence. Terrorism, war, diseases we can’t cure, hurricanes, tsunamis, spinach, France. It’s an Armageddon checklist. Pope John Paul didn’t die, he pre-boarded.”
With “The Birth,” Titus talks about how women delude other women about the agony of childbirth. He drives his point home by chronicling the events leading up to the joyous moment, namely finding his wife vaulted over their bed, “Nine months three days into my wife’s pregnancy I come home from work to find my wife clamped over the headboard…She’s up on her toes arched across the whole bed like a drunk Russian gymnast and I know she’s uncomfortable cuz she's goin, 'Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!'" Meanwhile, in the background listeners can hear the uncontrollable laughter of the crowd.
On “Baby Doctor Mengele,” Titus lays to rest the woman’s idea that men want to be present in the birthing room during delivery. “I put my arm and my hand on her back and I go ‘Push,’ and I’ve completed the helping…We want to thank you for inviting us into the delivery room but little update, none of us want to be there. Like our fathers and grandfathers, we all want to be down the street in a shitty little bar with a cigar in this hand and a drink in this hand.”
The second disc opens with “Mideast Women,” and Titus talking about why the countries who hate America will never win, “Iran, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, first of all any country who doesn’t listen to their women at all is goin’ down.” The audience is cracking up the whole time.
On “These Countries That Hate Us," Titus expounds on just why they despise us so much, “For some reason, the more we bomb them the more they hate us. That’s cuz they don’t get it.” Titus goes into a tirade that if these countries were forced to sit and watch ESPN2 for 24 hours they would understand America better, “We build monster trucks for fun…Piss us off and see what we build. And we may feel bad about it later, ask Japan.”
For a comedic commentary on the happenings going on all over the world and for a riotous chortle fest, pick up The Fifth Annual End of the World Tour. You’ll snicker so hard, you might break a rib.
