College Humor


Thanks to all the blogs that have mentioned this thing: Comedy Central Insider, Too Much Nick, and Don Montrey’s Die Actor Die. Thanks everybody! ‘Specially Mom and Dad, who according to a CollegeHumor commenter, looks like Roger Waters.

Yoshi

UPDATE:
All new from Will Hyler: the making of “Yoshi”!

Thanks to Will for this tribute to what was a pretty goddamned fun shoot.

Big thanks go out to my actors (David Love, Ryan Mitchell, and Brian Rowe) and of course Will Hyler, who did camerawork, drew Yoshi, built the contraption that stood in for Yoshi, and generally planned how to shoot this thing. And also thanks to Sam at CollegeHumor and Segway of Long Beach!

Also, note the snazzy new Scott Gairdner intro, with snazzy music by Vytor.

At long last. Probably the best of the three.

There are so many talented people in this movie. Here are they:
Perry Smith… Dad
Katie Bode… Mom (and a bunch of other random stuff on this vid)
Brad Schulz… Doctor (and lighting)
Ryan Mitchell… Bank President
Me…. Candy Bank President
Will Hyler… Steve Nash (and director of photography)
Brian Rowe… Shrek

And introducing Preston Strother as Travis! I say “introducing”, but he has more professional credits to his name than anyone I’ve worked with. Thank you, Preston, for stooping down to my level.

The word on the street is, “Celebrity Cum Countdown” is awesome!

Here’s some thoughts from the College Humor audience:
“im in absolute disgust.” - Kayden, Baylor
“the room is spinning…. from gayness”- the_dude, North Carolina State
“no this video is gay, not because it isn’t funny, that part I am used to. The content is just extremely gay, just cum, gay guys, and semi attractive girls who like to drink nicely flavored cum” - Witzel, Augsburg

All of this brings up an interesting question: at what point does a video become gay? Is it genetic, or can a video will itself to be gay or not? I wonder how long it takes a video to realize it’s gay. I’ve heard about Christian camps that videos can go to to be cured, but I doubt they work. Is it difficult for a video to admit to its parents that it is gay? Gay video marriage is surely far from being legalized, but perhaps this gay video can marry my “Dave Matthews video”, of which “youwishuhastalent” said, “you must have to much time on your hands if you make a video thats gay…fag”

Leave a comment and weigh in on these issues.
