Most people know Brian Posehn from his current role as Brian Spukowski, Sarah Silverman's gay neighbour and friend on Comedy Central's The Sarah Silverman Program. In that series he plays a hardcore metalhead who only keeps one song on his iPod, the Spin Doctors' "Two Princes", as a "palate cleanser" to keep him from going crazy from a metal-only diet.

The 43-year-old Posehn is also a devoted metalhead in real life, and he proclaims that metalness on "More Metal Than You", a track off his latest comedy album, Fart & Wiener Jokes, which has been turned into quite the comical YouTube video:

Ha. I like the part where he goes: "You say that I'm not metal, you don't fuckin' know me. I'm Slayer/Venom/Mayhem, you're White Lion blowin' Jovi." Ha.

Local Posehn fanatics should consider heading Stateside tomorrow (Saturday, May 15) to see his standup gig at Seattle's Crocodile Cafe. Let us know what happens when you get up and holler: "I'm more metal than you!"
