"This past month at Balticon 45, I had the pleasure of seeing Insane Ian perform live. In short form, he's a video game-oriented variation on Weird Al and Spike Jones. The clever lyrics and game terminology won me over and I purchased his disc, Fairly EPic."

Super Mario Parody Song of the Day (4/23/2011 - The Daily What: Geek)

"Insane Ian -- a geeky gamer answer to Weird Al -- has put out a new Mario-themed video. Ian's song 'Bob-Omb' is a Nintendo-fied spoof of Bruno Mars' 'Grenade,' starring Ian as Mario."

"[...T]his is Insane Ian's "Bob-Omb," a parody of Bruno Mars' "Grenade," and it's really, really good. It's a nearly shot-for-shot remake with Mario themes, the singer actually sounds a lot like Bruno Mars (but slightly less like a total p*ssy)..."

"4out of 5. Overall, this is a phenomenal album that shows that comedy music isn’t stale, but quite the opposite: it’s alive, it’s clever, and it’s in your face."

Album Review: Insane Ian's The Last Arcade (11/9/2010 - Nerdy Show)

"The Last Arcade, his latest full-length, relies on the hook-heavy nature of tracks lampooning everyone from The Beatles (opener "House") to the Black Eyed Peas ("Autotune") to catch the attention of the listener, but it's often his unique originals that prove most satisfying. Sure "Use Some Money" (a Kings of Leon take-off) and Barenaked Ladies-inspired "If I Had a Rocket Launcher" are perfect sarcastic-pop nuggets, but "Marry'd Life," Ian's own hilariously soulful meditation on modern coupling, shows an even higher level of artistry."

Funny is as Funny Does (9/17/2010 - Hipster, Please)

"I was honestly impressed with n3rds0ngs, Ian’s first release. It had several songs that straight up jumped out at me as tracks I thoroughly enjoyed, including the nerdtacular Death Star, the jaw-droppingly impressive Saving the World As We Know It (Mondays at Nine), and Guitar Hero..."

"n3rds0ngs is a good indicator of Ian’s talent[...]He’s got great concepts and fun songs, and I think there’s a lot to expect in the coming years from Ian.

I recommend purchasing n3rds0ngs. It’s a good snapshot of what to expect of contemporary comedy music, and something tells me this is a guy who’s entire discography you will one day want."

Album Review: "n3rds0ngs"  (11/16/2009 - Nerdapalooza Blog)

“[The] production [on "n3rds0ngs"] is great...interesting subject matter. ...One of very few people in comedy music who can get up there into Robert Plant territory."

Dr Demento - Legendary Comedy Music Radio Host

“[n3rds0ngs has]…Really nifty geeky-type music!”

– Devo Spice (on Manic Mondays, Episode 201, March 16, 2009)

“’n3rds0ngs’ is a great collection of comedy music for geeky pop-culture addicts like myself. Insane Ian is really making a name for himself in the underground niche genre of funny music.”
