I’m excited to let you all know about my new weekly series PANCAKE MANOR! It’s basically a fun web series featuring puppets, music and drawings. Check out the first episode!
Here’s our latest video, made for McDonald’s and Coke. It’s currently airing in movie theatres and on television, throughout the states. As with the last T-Shirt War video, it all started with a series of brainstorming sessions with Rhett & Link about what the video needed, and figuring out the gags. Once the basic designs were approved(I’ll post some of the "rejected" designs soon), I then went ahead and created the final versions you see in the video. Joe Penna came back again to photograph and edit it to perfection. And, like before, I also abused my face to create all of the sound effects. Enjoy!
I just got back from a whirlwind McDonald’s and Coke commercial shoot with Rhett & Link and Joe Penna. Like T-Shirt War before it, I created all the art and animation as well as the sound design. *thwack!*
The fine folks at Webnation had me come in on Wednesday, and talk about my experiences with internet video. For those who don’t know, “internet video” is a new form of touch football. With lasers, or something.

Here’s an audio clip from episode #92 of the PreRecorded Friends Show. Joe asks me to read the opening monologue of "Thriller" as Vincent Price...changing into Cobra Commander.
I just got back from a great trip in North Carolina, visiting my pals Rhett & Link. We've got a fantastic video in the works, but because of some delays out of our control, that video won't be seeing the light of day until November..ish. I also had the pleasure of spending some time with the enormously talented Joe Penna, who will be directing that video.
Speaking of directing, Link directed my upcoming music video. Say tuned for that, I'm just in the editing process now.
The lovely Taylor Swift was about to give her acceptance speech, when out of the blue Kanye West grabbed her mic and completely ruined the moment. He then wrote on his website his apology. I felt text wasn't enough to really convey his sincerity, so here it is in music form.....enjoy.
"I'M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM. I SPOKE TO HER MOTHER RIGHT AFTER AND SHE SAID THE SAME THING MY MOTHER WOULD'VE SAID. SHE IS VERY TALENTED! I LIKE THE LYRICS ABOUT BEING A CHEERLEADER AND SHE'S IN THE BLEACHERS! ........................ I'M IN THE WRONG FOR GOING ON STAGE AND TAKING AWAY FROM HER MOMENT!................. BEYONCE'S VIDEO WAS THE BEST OF THIS DECADE!!!! I'M SORRY TO MY FANS IF I LET YOU GUYS DOWN!!!! I'M SORRY TO MY FRIENDS AT MTV. I WILL APOLOGIZE TO TAYLOR 2MRW. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!!!!

The third video I collaborated with Rhett & Link aired last night on the Science Channel. This video was especially fun for me, because not only did I do the artwork, but I also produced the song and co-wrote the lyrics with the guys. I sing the alien character as well.
Special thanks to Ashton Kutcher for spreading the word about the video today.
*ring, ring* “Hello?” “Hey, do you wanna see that band tonight” “Which band?” “You know, the one with the chorus that goes..”la,la,la,la,la” “uh...” “Pick you up at 7.” Music & Words by Billy Reid
Legend has it this girl walked in for 3 small star tattoos on her face, took a nap(?) then woke up to find the tattoo guy gave her over 50! I’m pretty sure she was experiencing a lil’ instant regret. Make sure to check out the final shot of the guy who did her work.
Last night I wrote this song after my buddy John showed me these pictures of Megan Fox “refusing” a rose from some kid. I like imagining that he did research before trying to hand over the flower. Bad research.

The PreRecorded Friends are back, and I’ve decided to start posting highlights from shows. Here’s a clip from episode #65 : Every Other Scene in Benjamin Button.
