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!!!! EVERYBODY WANNA BOOOOO ME BUT I'M A FAN OF
REAL POP CULTURE!!! NO DISRESPECT BUT WE WATCHIN' THE

MY AWARDS TO OUTKAST WHEN THEY DESERVED IT OVER ME...
THAT'S WHAT IT IS!!!!!!! I'M NOT CRAZY YALL, I'M JUST
REAL. SORRY FOR THAT!!! I REALLY FEEL BAD FOR TAYLOR
AND I'M SINCERELY SORRY!!! MUCH RESPECT!!!!!"
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.”

songs? Chip in to help make the next one!
The inimitable Michael Buckley wanted to
collaborate on a video, so he sent me multiple
takes of him saying only three words : I’m
Your Bitch. I then blended it up, added some
spicy peppers and this is what came out of the
oven.
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.

I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Alexis
Stoymenoff for her piece on comedy and music for CBC Radio 3. Click
the link below to listen. I’m in the first half of the piece.
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.
I finally put a video together for my song
“Swim Now,” so come check
it out. If it isn’t already obvious,
the song is about my favourite comedy sketch.
