Happy ~10th Anniversary to Danny Sexbang and Ninja Brian of Ninja Sex Party
For those who haven’t had the pleasure, Danny and Brian are the comedy band Ninja Sex Party.
Wikipedia has a good synopsis of NSP:
Ninja Sex Party was about “a Jewish superhero who wears a unitard, with his best friend who’s a ninja, and together they sing songs about dicks, and try to hit [unsuccessfully] on women.”
I know it’s NSP’s diamond anniversary because I spent ages trying to find a quote attributed to Danny. This is impossible because he publishes content pretty much every damn day. That became a spiraling freefall into the YouTubian abyss. It wasn’t wasted time, though; the information I unearthed blossomed into this love letter addressed to NSP.
Anyway, the quote — Danny had referenced his and Brian’s artistic goals for what I think is the funniest band since the Lonely Island. The gist of the quote was: Do it for the art, not the fame. Simple and often overlooked advice, but it seems important in this social-media-driven time.
Giving up on finding the exact quote, my journey through the online vaults nevertheless continued. I’d gone down the Sexbang hole and wouldn’t be coming up for air anytime soon.
