Avidan , who previously sang in bands such as The Northern Hues and Skyhill , initially conceptualized the band . In need of a band member , Avidan was introduced to Wecht , who was the musical director of a comedy troupe in New York , by a mutual friend at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre , Julie Katz , a member of Wecht 's comedy troupe ( who would later be featured in their music video " The Decision " ) , to whom Avidan had asked if she knew any musicians . The band was formed in February/March 2009 with Avidan going by his stage-name/character " Danny Sexbang " and Wecht going by " Ninja Brian " . However , the character " Danny Sexbang " was originally named " Danny Sweetnuts " before being changed to " Sexbang " as Avidan felt the name seemed " stronger . " Inspired by The Lonely Island and Flight of the Conchords , Ninja Sex Party was about " a Jewish superhero who wears a unitard , with his best friend who 's a ninja , and together they sing songs about dicks , and try to hit unsuccessfully on women . " They began performing together that summer , appearing in various film festivals , including SXSW , Dragon Con , and the LACS . They have been awarded " Best Comedy Video " by Industry Power Play , as well as the " Trophy of Awesomeness " on Vimeo 's video website . They won " Best Comedy Video Short " and " Best Comedy Song " in Improvisation News ' 2010 INNY Awards . Their video " Sex Training " also appeared on the Comedy page of '' The Huffington Post '' . All their early music videos were directed , shot , and edited by Jim Turner , who was the only person paid for his involvement ; all other people participating were friends working for free
