When Will Oldham announced his first gig as a stand-up comic, those of us who weren't surprised were familiar with his stint on "the Chernobyl of TV shows," "Wonder Showzen". We posted a small clip of one of his cameos recently, but who needs small clips when you can have full episodes? And who needs just Will Oldham when you can also have Devendra Banhart, Corin Tucker, Bill Callahan, and, why not, Rick Springfield and John Oates? (Yes, that Rick Springfield and John Oates.)

Thanks not to YouTube but its parent company's still-in-business video sharing site, Google Video, we bring you the entire "Horse Apples" episode of the show, which also features David Cross, Todd Barry, and Zach Galifianakis. Oldham plays a pervy preacher who spends most of his time in prison telling jokes to God.

And for an interesting take on the Almighty, we found the "Justice" episode as well, in which Oldham's Drag City labelmate Bill Callahan (formerly known as Smog) provides the voice of the "God banana" at the end.

Finally, we hit online video paydirt with the "Cooperation" episode of the show, which features short clips of a melismatic Banhart, Tucker, Springfield, and Oates superimposed over a choir of kids singing "War doesn't solve anything." All we need now is a Joanna Newsom cameo. Perhaps a role as a strung out Mary Magdalene?
