Pleaseeasaur (pronounced Please-ee-uh-saur) was a comedic musical project from the United States, spearheaded by JP Hasson, who previously performed with We’re Not From Idaho and Touch Me Zoo alongside Joe Genaro of The Dead Milkmen. This act was distinguished by its vibrant, campy humor, featuring Hasson in a variety of costumes tailored to each track, enhanced by accompanying multimedia animations. Many compositions acted as satirical advertisements for imaginary businesses such as "No Prob Limo," "Pizza Brothers and Sons, Inc.," and "Action City News."
In 2006, Comedy Central issued the CD/DVD titled The Amazing Adventures of Pleaseeasaur, which showcased music videos directed by artist TH3 and animations created by the team responsible for the Adult Swim shows Sealab 2021 and Frisky Dingo.
Over a span of 12 years, Pleaseeasaur toured worldwide, often partnering with alternative comedian Neil Hamburger and sharing stages with groups like The Black Heart Procession, Boredoms, Buckethead, Man or Astro-Man?, The Melvins, Pinback, and The Presidents of the United States of America.
The project concluded in 2009.
