I hated on this guy's music early and often. But I know I'm not the only one who thought this was the most brilliant, hilarious thing on TV since, I dunno, the Seinfeld pen episode.

"You know that 'Your Body is a Wonderland' was written for a guy, right?"

Greatest image-deconstruction by an artist since I not know when. "Dead Homiez"? 'Tusk'?

"Together Alone"

I don't doubt the guy is funny. But still, I think I'll wait for "John Mayer Has a Facial Tumor" myself.

Eminem to Chapelle's Dr. Dre???

His music is tragically mediocre (on a good day), but he is indeed a funny guy. It must be said.

I caught it last Friday night and proclaimed it the greatest show on television... only to find it was probably just a one-off thing!

The 2-part focus group bit was the funniest thing I'd seen all year.

Last Christmas my mom gave me a really short list and it was all CDs. I went to a local mom n pop record store and bought John Mayer that was on her list. I left the store and went across town to another record shop, to look for old obscure 80s goth/industrial records I could get for my little brother. At the check out counter there was one other person in front of me so I started talking to the clerk (this cool guy who used to get me stoned in the back of the store and play psychedelic music I never heard of), and I told him "Hah, I just bought the worst thing I could possibly have ever bought. I mean, it was a complete waste of money. In my entire life I don't think I have ever spent money on something so completely worthless as this John Mayer album." Right then I realized that the girl in front of me was actually purchasing a John Mayer album!

And I didn't even feel like a jerk

...cos John Mayer is a sack of shit!

Wow. Great story.

Seinfeld pen episode was on this week!

Does he exclusively do this blues kind of thing now?(because it's actually pretty good) Had no idea he was such a skilled guitarist! He gets really excellent tone!

Yeah, I saw him do a "Bold As Love" on TV three or four years ago that really surprised me in its soulfulness and general rightness. And I don't give it up easily for Hendrix covers.
