Enjoy this special valentine I made for the amazing new site Dinosaurs Fucking Robots.

Please visit Dinosaursfuckingrobots.com, brought to you by Team Tiger Awesome.

My dad is in “Happy Halloween From Michael McDonald”. Someone on a message board said he looked like Roger Steen, guitarist from the Tubes. Here are other people my dad looks like.

Clockwise from top: my dad, Jerry Springer, Patrick Duffy, Michael Crawford, Roger Waters, Roger Steen (the Tubes)

I started a new section on this site to highlight my friends who frequently help out on my videos. And I was taking note of the number of hits on each of their pages:

1. Ryan Mitchell- 12,000 hits
2. Will Hyler - 11,000 hits
3. Perry Smith - 9,000 hits

(Note: all numbers above may have had three zeros added to them for dramatic effect)

So, in an effort to turn my friends against each other, I’d like to make this an actual competition. Please visit the “Friends” page, and whichever one you like the best, go to their page. Depending on how much you like them, perhaps even hit refresh a few times. I’ll announce later who my most popular friend is.

UPDATE:
As of 11:30 this morning, Perry Smith has shot ahead with 658,000 hits. At this point, I’m going to suspect some foul play on his part.

Here’s a little something from the archives.

During my last year at LMU, I worked for the school TV station, where I did my show LMU Roundtable Now. One of the other shows was a nightmarishly bad “sketch comedy” show, which was kept on solely to kill time. One week, they didn’t turn in a show, and I had to fill the time somehow. What I came up with was “The Tape Dispenser Show”. I recently stumbled upon this masterpiece on the Roar Network website. Click below and enjoy.

The Tape Dispenser Show

Note: if you don’t watch the whole thing, I understand, but at least skip to the last minute or so. You need to see the hilarious finale.

I usually don’t post videos besides things I make, but Jesus, this is funny.

Great news!

Are you a Mozilla Firefox user? Well, now, if you come to this site, it actually works! I updated the videos page, so check it out, and scroll down to the bottom, watch some videos you haven’t seen before. You also might want to check out the ol’ bio, which is slightly updated as well.

Also, if you haven’t been there already, check out College Humor’s awesome new layout HERE. Click my icon on the right, and you can watch “Disneyland Movies” and “Travis’ Wish” in a giant, ultra-high-quality 16×9 player.

I have exciting news, everyone! I think I figured out what I want to do for a living! I want to be a sound designer for kooky comedy trailers! I was inspired by the trailer for Disney’s “The Game Plan”, starring The Rock. Watch this trailer below, and imagine what it would be like without wacky sound effects.

The Game Plan

Without whooshes, music coming to a halt, and whooshes that bring music to a halt, you wouldn’t be able to tell if this was a comedy or a serious drama about raising kids. But with the addition of the sound effects, Disney is sure to be laughing, not crying, all the way to the bank! Let’s do it by statistics:
Whooshes- 21
Music screeching to a halt- 7
Whooshes that screech the music to a halt- 3
Dogs going “Hrrrm?”- 1

Well, I’m gonna go make some dinner. But I’m about to find out (whoosh)… that being a cook… (my dog looks up at me with an inquisitive grunt) isn’t all it’s cracked up to be!
Music cuts out, cut to me with lobsters attached to my fingers, nose, and groin. James Brown kicks in.
Scott Gairdner in… “Main Course”! Coming this fall!

You may have read my previous post in which I question why the Blues Brothers are funny. I’m happy to tell you that a commenter on that post has explained it to me!

Blues Brothers Lover and Fan says:
So, for one thing, a gay ass is penetrable only by force if the recipiant is not watching blues brothers, exuse me, Blues Brothers - - - forgot to capitalize the best thing ever… if you want to know about easier gay fuck sex fuck fuck cum cumming on gay faces you need blues.. BLUES BROTHERS to know exactly how to make homosexual encounters the best kind for even the queerest straight man. Idiot.

Thank you, Blues Brothers Lover and Fan! I understand now!

As I mentioned here before, I used to intern on “Moral Orel”. At the end of every show, there’s a little cheap stop motion sequence that Orel makes. Dino, my favorite comedy writer, offered to let me do one. I called in a ringer named Brian Engh to help me out. Here’s the result- it’s at the end, over the credits! I can proudly say it’s my hand holding up Orel’s hand at the end.
