Metal legend Philip H. Anselmo’s reluctant heavy metal education of Dave Hill continues in a brand new episode of Metal Grasshopper.
That’s right Hill is now in training to be the baddest metal mf’er, though he’ll probably have to work on stretching his neck and vocal cords to be just a little more metal.
Watch new Metal Grasshopper here.

Metal Grasshopper is the latest thing with the amazing Dave Hill in it that you need to watch as soon as you get a chance.
Hill, wanting to be the baddest baddie in heavy metal, he looks to be a disciple of metal icon Philip H. Anselmo and the web series Metal Grasshopper ensues.
Also, please note that Dave Hill can shred on a guitar and be simultaneously hilarious.
If you follow the great Dave Hill on Twitter, and you absolutely should, you’re probably a fan of his “erotic short stories”. Even if you’re not, you’re about to become one from seeing Dave read them live with some sultry accompanying music played by Dave’s band Valley Lodge. Hopefully, some of this will make it on to his comedy album that’s taping next month.
Prepare to laugh and get horny simultaneously while watching.
The prolifically funny Dave Hill has somehow not blessed us all by recording a live comedy album for all of us that need a piece from Dave preserved forever in time.
Luckily, that’s changing next month, Sept. 3rd, at Union Hall when Dave records his very first comedy album off the consistently awesome label AST Records. The show itself is already sold out, but it would be most certainly worth trying to stand by for tickets.
H Jon Benjamin, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Dave Hill, Michelle Wolf, Bill Nye, Michael Che, Elna Baker, Nick Thune, Jon Glaser, Bridget Everett, Jessi Klein, Wyatt Cenac, Robyn Hitchcock, Derrick Brown “plus many more and even more guests to be announced and super surprise guests” will be gathering around the The Bell House and Union Hall in Brooklyn, NYC from Sept. 18th-22nd for The 7th Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival.
As with every year, we suggest that you don’t miss out on this festival and everyone who is on it. Buy your tickets now.
Amazon has been having a dispute with high profile authors from or close to the publishers at Hachette in that Amazon seems to be intentionally slowing the sales of certain book by not taking pre-orders or saying that the book in unavailable when it’s not.
Leave it to comedian/musician/writer/raconteur Dave Hill and a set of toys to explain away the controversy even when he’s confronted by celebrated author Malcolm Gladwell and the legendary Dick Cavett. Watch how Hill handles the situation here.
Prospect Park in Brooklyn is a wilder place than ever before (possibly). That’s why comedian Dave Hill has taken to his Western wear and horse to patrol the paths full of unassuming pedestrians in order to keep things safe.
Watch Dave Hill: The Sheriff of Prospect Park here.
Leave it to living legend Dick Cavett and the marvelous Dave Hill to make simply hanging out at a cafe vastly intriguing.
Watch Dick and Dave here.
Aparna Nancherla, Brendon Walsh, Brooke Van Poppelen, Dave Hill, Greg Behrendt, Jen Kirkman, Kyle Kinane, Seaton Smith, and Set List are all crossing the Pacific to bring their dazzling comedy stylings to Melbourne, Australia for one of the biggest comedy festivals on the planet, The Melbourne International Comedy Festival from Mar. 26th-Apr. 20th.
UK acts Marcel Lucont and Reginald D Hunter as well as Australia’s own Celia Pacquola, Felicity Ward, Little Dum Dum Club, and Sam Simmons will also make a trip to MICF worthwhile, if you’re hanging around Melbourne for a month.
The Goddamn Dave Hill Show Premieres Tomorrow at WFMU
Without barely wasting any time at all, the slot previously occupied by The Best Show at WFMU with Tom Scharpling will continue to be taken up by great comedy in the form of The Goddamn Dave Hill Show.
It starts 6PM PST tomorrow and will have H. Jon Benjamin as a guest, so we don’t even need to tell you to get on board ASAP.
Dave Hill’s Witch Taint Now Has a Promotional Hot Sauce
Years ago, the hilarious Dave Hill had this fun dialogue with a Norwegian Black Metal band in trying to join their group. In said dialogue, he talked about his own solo black metal band, Witch Taint, and how in touch with the darkness he was.
Even though a full album has yet to be released from Witch Taint, there’s a hot sauce now being released in promotion of the band. If anything, it’s another good excuse to post what has now become known as The Black Metal Dialogues (probably the funniest thing you read that day when you read it/the funniest thing you’ll read today)
Dave Hill To Take Over Tom Scharpling’s ‘Best Show’ Slot on WFMU
For those, especially you comedy fans, distraught over the impending end of Tom Scharpling’s Best Show on WFMU, worry not. The amazing Dave Hill is going to take over the time slot from Scharpling with his very own show.
Whether it’s a mix of all of Dave’s big bag of talents as a comedian, writer, host, TV personality, and more or just a few of those things, we’re confident it’s going to be pretty great.
In the latest edition of their interview web series Think Talk, Adult Swim gets into the finer details of what makes the amazing Dave Hill so unique, specifically in regards to seeking relationships based on tolerances of certain types of food.
Watch, learn, and laugh here.
Wits, the true blue variety show taped, broadcast, etc. from the Fitzgerald Theater in Minnesota just announced the line-up for their series of shows coming this fall and it almost reads like a festival line-up.
In addition to have great musical acts such as Aimee Mann, Ted Leo, Yo La Tengo, and Busdriver, Paul F. Tompkins, Tim Heidecker, Dave Hill, Jim Gaffigan, Maria Bamford, David Cross, Ellie Kemper, and more are set to be part of various Wits episodes often in pretty great mini radioplays.
Luckily, they do tape much of the show and put it on YouTube like this clip of Maria Bamford and Bill Corbett & Kevin Murphy from Rifftrax spin on the Wizard of Oz.
From the excitement generated by the Royal Wedding, the hilarious (and one of the funniest people when it comes to doing “man on the street” segments) Dave Hill is embedded in England awaiting the birth of the royal baby in a new web series, “Royal Baby Watch”.
As ridiculous as the anticipation for a royal baby is, Dave manages to top that with his royal baby merchandise in the latest episode. Watch here.
The hysterical Dave Hill does another great man on street segement where he visits the New York Boat Show. That’s right, Dave Hill talks to people trying to sell boats at a convention center and it’s pretty great.
