Have you checked out the new HBO show Bored To Death? It stars Jason Schwartzman as a neurotic writer turned private detective who happens to be best buds with Zach Galifianakis. Small world. Schwartzman’s Coconut Records also performs the theme song. And it features the train that comes right by our office (the F, for those of you down with letters.) Weeeeeeeeeeeird. Okay. Regardless, Bored To Death airs Sunday’s at 9:30 EST on HBO, and we’ve got some free schwag from the show (and some other HBO goodies) for you. All you’ve got to do is leave a Schwartzman-centric blurb or haiku in the comments section of this post and you’re in the running. The full piprize pack includes:
Bored to Death Prize Pack:
Flight of the Conchords Season 2
Entourage Season 5
Bored to Death mug
Bored to Death reporter’s notebook
Bored to Death flash drive
Bored to Death posters
Now start those syllables.

Not sure what you want by saying schwartzman-centric, but the show is SCHWARTZMAN-TASTIC!
September 23rd, 2009 at 3:21 pm
Jason Schwartzman rolled around with a naked Natalie Portman in Hotel Chevalier. Instant hero status. Hate you JS.
September 23rd, 2009 at 3:34 pm
This is the be-all end-all HBO schwag pack.

he said this about the greatest city in the world:
“I can tell you one reason why I think New York is incredible: I think things happen to you that you don’t expect have happen to you.”
and he’s right. and i wouldn’t change it.

I used to be in a uber sucktacular band called Phantom Planet and now I have this awesome gig. I am related to Hollywood royalty and Wes Anderson is my BFF. Nevermind the schwag, I want that swag.

September 23rd, 2009 at 6:26 pm
The best scene was Ted Danson and Jason Schwarztmen lighting it up in a stall in the men’s room…and when Danson steals a line from Sceatzmen’s novel…awesome show with an amazing cast!!
September 23rd, 2009 at 6:27 pm
Favorite quote from Jason’s character in Shopgirl: “I’ve been reading a lot of books on tape…”
September 23rd, 2009 at 6:27 pm
One of my favourite Scwartzman lines is from Rushmore
“I saved Latin. What did you ever do?”
Not going to lie I sometimes base whether or not I will be friends with someone if they know that quote.
Just kidding…kind of…

“Tell that Mick he just made my list of things to do today…”
Classic.
September 23rd, 2009 at 6:31 pm
Jason Schwartzman’s music was the soundtrack to my first relationship.
September 23rd, 2009 at 6:33 pm
Schwartzman-centric? Everybody knows what Schwartzman-centric is. Really? *Yells in Public Place* Schwartzman-centric? Anyone? *Yells in Public Place* Ok. We’re even.
September 23rd, 2009 at 6:36 pm
schwartzman is good, but danson steals the show
“got any weed?”
September 23rd, 2009 at 6:54 pm
Maybe I’m spending too much of my time starting up clubs and putting on plays. I should probably be trying harder to score chicks.
I love schwag!
September 23rd, 2009 at 6:59 pm
Oh, Jason. I refuse to fight my attraction to you. You are too funny and clever and talented and your music is fantastic. I was sooooooo happy to discover you would be doing a tv show. That means I get to watch you be awesome and wonderfully quirky on a weekly basis. Well, weekly for about what? 12 weeks? Whatever, I’ll take it!
September 23rd, 2009 at 7:01 pm
“I saved Latin, what did you ever do?”
“She was my Rushmore”
hair doll owning creep in slackers, drummer for phantom planet, has a french bulldog, sent out polaroids with his first coconut records album (why, yes, I still have mine pinned to the mirror). I’m afraid this comment makes me more of a jason stalker. ~floss on.
September 23rd, 2009 at 7:02 pm
I saved Latin AND watched ‘Bored to Death’ …what did you ever do?
September 23rd, 2009 at 7:19 pm
Good actor, shit musician, outstanding mustache.
-G.
September 23rd, 2009 at 7:29 pm
Schwartzman-gina for drinking white wine. Great show guys, keep up the good work. I finally have a reason to use my tv, to watch bored to death.
September 23rd, 2009 at 7:34 pm
“So can I kiss you or what?” was the best line in Shopgirl.
September 23rd, 2009 at 7:43 pm
Two things: If you could throw in some white wine and weed to schwag bag, that would be great. And I’m an ok girl, by the way.
September 23rd, 2009 at 8:22 pm
It’s for cancer patients. You dont have cancer. Not yet. Is that Schwartzman-centric enough?
September 23rd, 2009 at 8:35 pm
i can fit through there. you want to know why. why. because im little. yeah fantastic mr. fox.
September 23rd, 2009 at 8:38 pm

When I went to a Rooney Show in RVA, his brother (Robert Schwartzman), who’s the lead singer, wore the EXACT same Coconut Records tee shirt I did.
Jason Schwartzman is Terrific; Anyone Who Thinks Differently Hates Freedom.
Schwag!

You know, you really are better off without her.
(really?)
I don’t know…
September 23rd, 2009 at 10:26 pm
Been a fan of Jason since Rushmore. He’s amazing! Coconut Records is always at the top of my playlists, and I even bought the dog collar so my dog can be walked in style. For some favorite Jason-esque movie quotes:
“I love you, but I’m going to mace you in the face!”
!
“Congratulations. You’ve officially gone on a date with Jeremy. Don’t forget to hold the handle when you lock the door.”
“Rushmore” has enough golden lines to fill up this entire section. Yay Jason
September 24th, 2009 at 12:05 am
You’re giving away swag? Oh that’s great. I wrote a hit play and directed it, so I’m not sweating it either.
September 24th, 2009 at 12:18 am
Only Schwartzman can start off a movie by saying: “Mother-fucking, cocksucker, mother-fucking, shit-fucker.” ONLY. SCHWARTZMAN.
September 24th, 2009 at 12:43 am
every day i look at my schwartzman polaroid. it has a palm tree in it. i mean, i HOPE he took it. otherwise, it’s just a polaroid!
September 24th, 2009 at 1:51 am
Jason Schwartzman is the man. THE MAN. Period.
September 24th, 2009 at 2:54 am
“Oh my god! I WROTE A HIT PLAY! And I’m in love with you.”
- Max Fischer. Jason’s playing a writer in this show too… COINCIDENCE? …actually, yeah, probably.
September 24th, 2009 at 5:19 am
my girlfriend really, really likes his eyebrows.
September 24th, 2009 at 6:01 am
I would love to leave Schwartzman-centric comment, but this made me BORED TO DEATH, so i decided to ride THE DARJEELING LIMITED to HOTEL CHAVALIER to meet MARIE ANTOINETTE and some SLACKER friends of mine, they were there with THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS who just got back from RUSHMORE with THE EX’s where there were all CRACKING UP as the SHOPGIRL and S1M0NE were BEWITCHED when they SPUN around to say they were going to be JUST LIKE MONA and go to ODESA OR BUST, i hope they take THE HITCHHIKERS GUIDE TO THE GALAXY so they dont get stuck on some PHANTOM PLANET.
September 24th, 2009 at 6:51 am
Nobody sits like this rock sits. You rock, rock. The rock just sits and is. You show us how to just sit here and that’s what we need.
September 24th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
I saved Latin. What did you ever do?
Who doesn’t love Jason Schwartzman

DOUBLE WHAMMY
WOOHOO I WANT FREE SCHWAGGGGGGGG

September 24th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
awesome prize-would love to win this
September 24th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
Here’s a haiku bid for the prize pack:
Crime solver, wordsmith
Making noir-otic TV
That’s our Schwartzman, man
September 24th, 2009 at 4:57 pm
Nice nurse uniform, HBO.
“They’re O.R. Scrubs”
O. R. they?!?!
More importantly, the things I would do to win this prize pack are better left unsaid. I am head over heels for Jason Schwartzman and everything he is involved in is golden.
Plus, I was in vietnam… and oh yes, I was in the shit.
p.s. amplifiers are so under-appreciated.
September 25th, 2009 at 2:29 am
nothing like a little jason schwartzman to add some quirk to your day…
September 25th, 2009 at 9:24 pm
“ADRIAN!”’s son…give me the prize!
September 28th, 2009 at 8:07 pm
I want to chop up that schwag with a machete.

“i think you need to find something you love to do and do it for the rest of your life, for me it’s going to rushmore”
September 29th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
Men face reality, women don’t, that’s why men need to drink. It wasn’t Schwartzman – but it was classic.

“Are you really a professional?”
“As I put in my ad, I’m not licensed.”

Well, tell that stupid mick he just made my list of things to do today. I’m going to pop a cap in his ass.
