Hannibal Buress comes off like a reasonable guy, most of the time. His stand-up is full of funny stories of awkwardness and drunkenness wherein he’s the inebriated everyman overthinking his interactions with everyday people (and Tracy Morgan, Scarlett Johansson, etc.). But anybody who’s seen his stuff on Adult Swim’s The Eric Andre Show knows he’s got a weird streak. Like last night when he, assisted by DJ Prince Paul, played clips from various hip-hop songs and analyzed their insane lyrics. It was a strange and ultimately kinda brilliant change of pace. Oh and then there was the thing at the end where he did a song — “Gibberish Rap” which he insists is huge in Norway — backed by three heretofore unseen lady backup dancers and people dressed up like Super Mario and Sonic The Hedgehog. Weird. And really funny.
