Samurai Love God

He comes from a distant erotic land. A mysterious place where the men wear thongs, silk robes and carry their swords unsheathed at all times. A place where the Kama Sutra has sold more copies than Harry Potter. He is the Sensei of Seduction, the Ronin of Romance, the Dalilicky Lama, the Ghandi from Behindi. He is......

Ed Helms.

Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeechhhhh...

Huh?


“ Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain...er...kimono”

He is the Samurai Love God.

A Comedy Central cartoon (available now on cell phones everywhere) the sake loving, woman pleasing, laughter creating Samurai Love God is a mix of Hugh Hefner and Kung Fu’s David Carradine, with a little Adam West’s Batman and Johnny Wadd’s ....well....wadd added in for balance. The Master of Muff, fast becoming an icon in the blogging world of myspace is blogged by show creator and writer Eric Mahoney (see his interview in Creative Corner Cafe) and voiced by the imperturbable actor/comedian Ed Helms, lately a correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and soon to be an new employee in the brilliant television comedy, The Office.

Other voice talent for the characters in the show include, Jenna Jameson (this may be the first time her only talent listed is voice) as the voice of P-Whip, one of Samurai's enemies. The Queen of Mean, Lisa Lampanelli as the voice of Kay-ock-Block, another of samurai's enemies. She's a very funny comedian who has appeared on Jay Leno, Howard Stern and Comedy Central's Roasts of Pamela Anderson and William Shatner. Christian Finnegian does several character voices on the show. Formerly on the Chapelle Show, he can now be seen on VH-1's Best Week Ever. Nick Kroll also does multiple voices for the show, and he also is on The Best Week Ever.
A very talented and diverse cast.

The Samurai Love God has done much for mankind (he is responsible for the “Lingerie For the World” concert to raise money to provide third world nations with crotch less panties, g- strings and push up bras). But perhaps his greatest contribution is the Love Dojo....an elaborate training facility teaching the ancient arts of Love, Sex and everything in between.


With this kind of success, our resident Love God surely must be to occupied to grant a simple interview. But in SLG’s own words, words that are whispered with reverence around the dojo, we start to understand the God behind the myth.
“I'm here for you. For anyone who has ever been slapped silly for suggesting a threesome. I stand up for the little guy, who doesn't feel adequate enough to ask Sun Li Lau for a Happy Ending. I represent the Frat boys, truck drivers, Dungeon and Dragon players, mid-life crisis dudes and anyone else who hasn't gotten laid in awhile. Because you will, horny grasshoppers. You will”

Sounds good enough for us. Sake anyone? ‘
