Boris' Kitchen's well-rehearsed spring show hurled sharp witticisms and clever slapstick at an enthusiastic crowd. Nicole Frisch '05 directed the final show of the season, which was full of cynical humor about pre-meds, the Justice, the government and Scooby Doo. Over the two-act performance, the show encompassed a variety of topics each with sharp-witted humor delivered with John Stewart-esque timing.

One skit was a commercial about WhoCash and the Brandeis bookstore. A young man is buying a pair of over-priced running shorts and a jogging shirt so he can go run with his girlfriend while feasting his eyes on her backside, which is arguably the best reason for a guy to go running. In that same attitude, Boris performed a skit about women, their boobs, and the viscous cycle of trying to get man's attention. In possibly the most accurate description of the male-female relationship, Boris proved that they know far more than John Gray about communications and relationships.

Boris further showed they were not above classic middle school humor in a skit about the founding fathers, which was loaded with jokes about boobs and double entendres.

Our president is always good for a cheap laugh and Boris had no trouble finding material, especially when it came directly from a press release issued by the White House. In possibly the most disturbing and hilarious skit, Boris gave a word-for-word reenactment of a George W. Bush press conference in which the President tried to avert the questions of the White House press corps by talking about ribs. It was a frustrating skit for many as audience members realized that they were laughing at a real press conference.

The only thing perhaps more frustrating than the Bush administration is trying to get coffee at your local Starbucks before class. When all you really want is a caramel machiatto, what you get is a line that takes more time than trying to get through the highway traffic at rush hour. Boris proposes that you do it their way. Just buy a Smith & Wesson .38 and pretend like you are going to rob the place for an easy hassle-free Starbucks experience.

The highlight of the evening was clearly the two-part Scooby-Doo mystery involving Carmen Sandiego and the Watergate scandal. In the hilarious parody, the gang searches for Carmen Sandiego while spontaneously breaking out in synchronized choreography that would have made the Ballroom Team jealous all while making open references to Fred's metrosexuality. Rachel Boyarsky '06 and her hot purple velvet outfit made the skit even better. She was the perfect image of Daphne as she strutted around.

Boris also took some time to remind the audience that they were one of the first and still the best sketch comedy groups on campus by having some fun with the games performed by To Be Announced, the Brandeis improvisation comedy group. Boris made a mockery out of the sketch comedy group's over enthusiasm and poorly delivered comedy sketches, proving that they are still the often imitated, never duplicated, kings of Brandeis sketch comedy.

Overall, the Boris' Kitchen show was reminiscent of being back in high school and listening to the class clown who mocked everyone in the most bitter and sarcastic tone he could possibly muster. For that they deserve respect from the entire campus. Moreover it takes a very skilled writing team to take toilet humor jokes that are usually only funny in middle school-or after you have had a lot to drink-and make them funny for all members of the audience.
