Get yourself a licorice whip and watch The State recreate "Porcupine Racetrack" online

The State’s left us with no shortage of incredible sketches—“Monkey Torture,” “Taco Man”—but few were as ambitious and fully realized as “Porcupine Racetrack,” a sketch we once described as “a little bit My Fair Lady, a little bit West Side Story, a little bit The Sting” and a perfect encapsulation of the troupe’s brand of comedy. The musical extravaganza turned 25 years old this year, and to celebrate the occasion David Wain went and got the band back together to recreate it online.
Every member of the comedy troupe is on hand, including Kevin Allison, Michael Ian Black, Ben Garant, Todd Holoubek, Michael Patrick Jann, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Thomas Lennon, Joe Lo Truglio, Ken Marino, Michael Showalter, and David Wain. They’re joined by musicians Theodore Shapiro, Kimmy Gatewood, Allie Stamler, Sylvain Carton, Jordan Katz, and Jessica Fishenfeld, who perfectly manifest the tune’s jaunty blend of piano, horns, and strings.
