Chewy Perez
When we did the Tremors marathon, one of the many many delightful things was noticing a guy named
Jesus 'Chewy' Perez in the credits. At the time we
were delighted in thinking that Chewy was the name of the awesome mexican guy who appears in several of the movies but
finally meets his end at the...hands...of an 'ass blaster'. Now fast-forward to tonight, where we're watching the
Carlos Mencia: No Strings Attached special on Comedy Central. Just now, like a second ago, Carlos was doing a bit about
religion and how women in his church were giving him shit about not being enthusiastic enough. He did an awesome rant
about his culture worshiping the sun, the moon, the stars, the wind, the sky, the earth, and fire then being invaded by
Europeans with a message from God through the Pope with the Bible saying that they were to be killed and their religion
supplanted, and after having their whole culture destroyed they're still the only people in the world who name their
kids 'Jesus'! Then he said "
Then I heard Jesus yelling 'Yeah Carlos! Tell that stupid woman!' but then I realized it
was my cousin Jesus in the back of the room. Good ol' Chewy".
WHAT!? I almost got whiplash with my triple take...could it be?! I mean, maybe this is a typical name and nickname
combo, and I'm just proving I'm a stupid gringo, but I will still delight in my find and feel that there
must be
a connection, however absurd.
Here, for the Doctor Who fans, is a
fantastic audio file from a prank phonecall show in Britan (Dead Ringers) where they
try to prank Tom Baker. But he's so awesome, he just wins.
