i'm disappointed that it took as much as two responses for Triumph to get mentioned.

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog Pushing Own Poop In OctoberSeveral advance copies spotted on lawn at local dog park[Posted Tuesday, September 9th, 2003 03:40:00 Pitchfork Central Time]
John L. Ferrer reports:
Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, the Robert Smigel-voiced puppet famous for his sketches on Late Night With Conan O'Brien and VMA 2002 run-in with Eminem, will be releasing his debut CD on Warner Bros. this October 7th. Entitled Come Poop With Me, it features various songs and skits featuring A-listers like O'Brien, Adam Sandler, Janeane Garofalo, Subway spokesman Jared (okay, one C-lister) and Jack Black, no doubt singing some sort Spinal Tap rip-off duet. Also included will be Together In Pooping, a DVD of live performances and interviews.
Before making jokes about how painfully horrible a comedy record by a puppet dog sounds, at least consider that Robert Smigel is indeed a very funny man-- responsible for some of the best sketch comedy and animation in recent television history (the interstitial cartoons on Saturday Night Live and Comedy Central's lamentably cancelled TV Funhouse). But then consider the lyrics, which Triumph has graciously offered a sampling of: "Lady left Tramp for a taste of my G/ I got the Westminster poodles lining up for me." Or another: "I humped Mary Hart's leg on the ET set/ I got Phil Jackson's crotch on the Lakers' team jet." And another: "Little roundworm; tiny roundworm/ Must you live in the ass of a hound, worm?"
Once you put it all into perspective, yes, it will be completely horrible. Anyway, the first single, "I Keed," will be released in the same week as the album, along with a new video, which has already guaranteed air time on both MTV and MTV2. Triumph will also be appearing on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and possibly do a brief tour. And, as if that's not enough exciting Triumph news, you can also register at his official website to win... a phone call. From Triumph! Yesss!

Where is this magical alternate universe where Conan O'Brien, Janeane Garofalo and Jack Black are A-list celebrities?
