Natural Gas Company Propoganda is BULLS*!T!

Julianna Forlano is funny. And smart. And ironic. And here is her latest, and most maddening, Ironic News Report yet.

Happy Pulaski Day!

Our friends at *Creepy Hug, and the Peanuts gang, help explain what this holiday is all about.

Another Video for My Mom

They have no idea why they must do all this, but they know there are treats in it for them. Dogs with a purpose in mind.

Dramatic Chipmunk

I have spent hours writing scenes that don't get nearly the laughs that this chipmunk is able to induce in only 5 seconds.

My mom is awesome

She sent me this...

Protect Insurance Companies PSA from Will Ferrell

Outrage over Barack Obama song in school

Couldn't figure out how to post this video, so here is the link.



I was just as pissed as that guy, but my rant went like this:

Here the liberals go again. Indoctrinating their children with the belief that the autofocus button on an amateur camcorder is completely optional--that the substance matters more than presentation. I remember my parents filming my class singing "Yum Yum Yum Ronald Reagan" and, oh, oh! the clarity on that VHS tape. The song blew chimps, but the z-axis focus? Come on! We didn't even have HD back then, but we would have utilized it. But these progressivistic parents and their arty French films. Where are the Freedom films? Have we forgotten September 11?

Derek and Simon

Last night during the callback audition for the new RvD show (Mrs. Gruber's Ding Dong School -- or is it Mrs. Gruber's Ding! Dong! School), instead of being productive, Joe showed us the beginning of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, as both that video and a scene in our upcoming show have a character named "Moist". (Dr. Horrible cannot rightfully claim to have a character named "Creamy" however. Take that, NPH!)

When Moist made his first appearance I was happily reminded how funny Simon Helberg is. The Derek and Simon show is a great series of short films written by Derek Waters and Simon Helberg and also by director Bob Odenkirk. Check them all out, but start with these two.

Life Imitates Bert

Why is it fun when Bert and Ernie do it...



...but not when these guys do it?

RoboWriters Wednesday!

The Assignment

Write a scene based on a moment in history.

There are a few ways to approach this...

1) Literally, show us your twisted take on the moment. Have your scene take place on the boat when Washington crossed the Delaware.
2) Show us the moment before.
3) Show us the moment after.
4) Peripherally show us. Maybe the scene is about two guys on the dock or between two of the soldiers in the back of the crowded boat.

And don't forget the option of Clash of Context or genre parody. Washington crossing the Delaware might be a nice Clash of Context with the film Titanic.

VIDEOS!

Here are two videos I made out of the editing class I took last week.

Cubby Wadsworth's Drive-Thru Zoo - watch more funny videos

Sketch 137 - "How To Write A Comedy Sketch" - watch more funny videos

TV Time!

I'm leaving today for a 4-day conference in Sioux Falls, SD. I have no idea what there is to do in Sioux Falls, so I will probably spend my evenings watching TV. In honor of all the video I'm going to be watching, enjoy this short video from Liam Lynch.

Two of My Absolutely Favorite Things

I was never a big Star Wars buff, but the following two clips are two of my favorite things to hit YouTube since slice bread hit YouTube. Whenever I'm feeling blue, I YouTube the following clips and voila, no more blue. (To weigh in on my verb usage, please participate in the poll to the right.)
