Both Andrist's debut CD Dumb It Down for the Masses and follow-up benefit CD Morbid Obscenity with fellow Unbookables Doug Stanhope, Sean Rouse, and Lynn Shawcroft was recorded and put out by Dan Schlissel's Stand Up! Records.
Remember the first time your parents left you home alone and within the first hour you somehow found your way into your big brother’s 2 Live Crew albums, your dad’s secret porn stash, and your mom’s flask of Goldschlager she kept hidden inside a pair of her fancy shoes she told you to never go near? Well, all innocence is once again re-lost as cerebral raunch-teur, Andy Andrist, awakens these repressed feelings of misguided-guilt-ridden-joy with overwhelmingly filth-ridden exorbitance on Stand Up! Records latest release "Dumb It Down For The Masses." Andrist offers the world an easy way to enjoy life and solve all of life’s problems all in one CD… by dumbing it down… and drinking… a lot. Andrist invites his audience into a world of booze induced activities where real anarchy lives and retarded people are brought along for the fun of it and not just for a handicapped parking spot and purposes of political correctness. And, even though this CD in itself is a gift to society, make sure you stick around for the exclusive bonus track where Andrist imparts his priceless wisdom about gays and God onto an audience of Quakers… seriously. And just like when you were left home alone for the first time, after listening to "Dumb It Down For The Masses," you might have to watch Sesame Street and force yourself to cry in order to regain your sweet childhood innocence and look your parents in the eye.
Andy Andrist draws his remarkable comedic courage from the same place he extracts his unique world view: Straight out of another bottle of domestic light beer. His is a world overrun with overweight women, trailer parks, special athletes, Wal-Marts and death. Needless to say, Andy’s world is trashy, poignantly idiotic and friggin’ hilarious. Andy’s genius comes from his understanding that people everywhere just want to stop thinking, get drunk, watch the game, and maybe get a sloppy piece of action before tomorrow becomes another day. So even when Andrist riffs on women who lie their way to handicapped parking permits, or when he talks about betting on Special Olympians, he’s really not making fun of those people. His real disdain is reserved for people like you and me, the Average Joes who are satisfied with being, well, average. During Andrist’s two seasons on the writing staff of Comedy Central’s The Man Show, he kept the censors so busy redlining his outrageous sketch ideas that carpal tunnel syndrome became more rampant than the common cold. That experience, in addition to his many years as a top protégé of comedy’s neutron bomb, Doug Stanhope, has Andrist primed to break loose as a headliner in his own right. His special brand of enlightenment will make you see your world – and yourself – differently.
