Gomez Misc.

Gomez usually doesn't like homophobic comedy because, to Gomez, its not any funnier making fun of a gay guy for being gay than it is to make fun of a straight dude for watching Spike TV. Oh, wait; that is funny. No straight man actually watches Spike TV, do they? Not unless by "straight" one means "Larry Craig." Gomez's bad.

Anyway, Gomez will make a GoMexception for Room 28, the scrappy sketch comedy group from NYC. For the past nearly two years, these hee-larious Latino dudes have been cooking up videos, standup routines, music videos, short films (in English) because, like any true artist, they can't not. They've been getting better and better, too - though no less homophobic. Gomez can't win 'em all, though we'd like to try.

Gomez would like to tell Room 28 that homophobia is cheap and tired, and won't sell, but, sadly, Gomez just saw the box office returns for Tyler Perry's latest stuffed sausage; it appears to be motoring toward the stratosphere powered entirely on the cheap and tired. Room 28 should never take advice from Gomez on anything. This is why Gomez is a blogger and social critic, and not, say, a movie executive.

Elitist PC airs aside, Gomez confesses, tail between our legs, to actually liking the campy fake-sitcom production style of Room 28's My Gay Twin, starring Jaimie Fernandez. Gomez knows Room 28 has been featured on SiTV and Telemundo, but we rather think they are destined for bigger and better things, if only something bigger than Gomez would pay attention. Spread the word, Gomezzers.
