Last week I got to take the day off in lieu of playing a UN Security Officer, and today that video is released. Thanks to Todd Bieber, Adam Sacks and the rest of UCBComedy for giving me the opportunity and letting me and Josh (who plays the robber) sing Spiderman inspired U2 songs all day during the breaks. “Web or Without You” might have been my favorite.
And sounds like me! New Video from the awesome UCB Beta team Diamonds Wow. Everyone involved with this is fantastic, but the animation… that takes it to a new level.
I am in a Fantasy Basketball League with my best friend from home Jason Miller. My team name is Detlef Schrempf. His team name is Boo Berry. Our smack talk discussion has been as follows:
Detlef Schrempf: Hey Boo Berry, you are a second rate cereal as well as a second rate player of fantasy basketball. BOOOM! Boo Berry: Second rate cereal? I’ll have you know I can still be found in parts of South Carolina. Detlef Schrempf: If this was a war of the Offensive Rebounds I would destroy you. THIS IS NOW THE ONLY STAT I CARE ABOUT! Boo Berry: The only stat I care about is “Most Best Cereal Name in League” Detlef Schrempf: Well then I win. You haven’t heard of “Detlef Schrempf Shrimp Wheats”?! Clearly you have not. Boo Berry: After exhaustive online research, I’m beginning to think your messing with me.
AM I MESSING WITH YOU JASON?! Look what I found on the internet!!!!
The second to last episode of Noah and Dru’s Novel is up at UCBComedy today… and I love it. Guest starring Ben Rameaka, who is absolutely amazing as he always is, as the literary agent. I may despise him for beating me in fantasy football from a surprise turn by Michael Vick, but I love him for his acting and comedic prowess.
Start getting prepped for the finale, cause it’s going to blow your mind people, blow your mind… we already got kicked out of one Barnes and Noble trying to film it… IMAGINE WHATS IN STORE!
Yesterday marked the 3 year anniversary of me moving to New York.
Last year I wrote a whole blog about my two year anniversary with New York City… but this year I think I can sum up my New York anniversary with two sentences:
I’m exceedingly grateful to be where I am in life and where I live in life.
That being said, when I arrived in New York three years ago my goal was super-stardom… I will now settle to pay my rent in Brooklyn with money I earned from doing what I came here to do.
The Office Fan Fiction
The next in the series of fan fiction videos that I shot with the Landline. This one was really hard to record… because the premise of it was really funny to me, and it was at the end of 6-7 hours of shooting… it was a giggle fest.
A new episode of Fan Fiction Theatre is up! This time we reenact a piece of Spongebob Squarepants fan fiction, and the horror that befall him after her purchases an XBox 360. This shit gets real.
This is also my favorite comment/response to a video I’ve seen in a long time:
After the major reveal in the last episode that Noah is letting me join in because he promised my dying mother he’d co-author a novel with me emerges a new gem from the ashes… New episode of Noah and Dru’s Novel! This one is simultaneously the craziest and my personal favorite. Nate Dern is an expert at finding crazy shit that is really funny. Thanks to Nate, Todd, Noah, Stacy and me. Especially me.
A few months ago on a very, very hot day I got to go out to Long Island City and film this with the awesome guys over at LandlineTV. The scripts (handselected and pulled from the best fan fiction collections on the internet) were amazing, and they got some awesome people to be apart of it. Also, the sets/stage reminded me of being back in Issaquah doing theatre in the cafeteria… every detail was just perfect to fit the ideal of community theatre, but instead of Oliver we’re doing some average Joe’s fan fiction for Law and Order: SVU.
I would gladly narrate fan fiction for hours upon hours.
I get to rejoin the guys at Read it and Weep for another week to talk about the middle third of Glenn Beck’s epic shit show “The Overton Window.” In it we get to talk about actual overton windows, the seven-foot-soft-spoken-patriot character Hollis comparing his homemade bullets to cookies, love scenes in hammocks and Glenn Beck’s protagonist telling his love interest to “not tease the panther.”
