Adobe Creative Pros
A little while ago, Adobe – the maker of Photoshop and the Creative Suite of any serious creative professional – invited us to make a web series for their site, AdobeTV. Thus we made “Creative Pros,” our glance at the individuals who make up the advertising, publishing, and entertainment industries. Here’s the whole series:
Creative Pros: Self-Photoshopping Models
Creative Pros: The Life of a Typographer
Creative Pros: The Life of a Freelancer
Creative Pros: The Life of a Documentarian
Creative Pros: The Life of an Audio Engineer
YouTube Comment of the Week
This week’s comment comes from Jaymotox from the UK in response to our video MS Paint
“I don’t get it? Is this supposed to be a pisstake video? :S”
If by pisstake Jaymotox is suggesting that we are taking a piss, the answer is yes; we are for sure taking a piss.
For any American readers out there, see below for a definition of taking a piss.
| 1. | taking a piss | |
|
To be essentially fucking with someone or to be condescending to someone by implying that they are stupid.
Refers to when someone says “Don’t piss in my pocket and tell me its raining, jerky…” Tom: “Thanks for the CD, I like rap music..”
Sue: “Are you taking a piss?” Tom: “Yes, I hate all music” |

Sketch Fest NY See Ya’
Exactly once a year we have the all too brief pleasure of meeting our regional and national sketch comedy brethren at a three day event they call “Sketch Fest NYC.” In the evenings – after extensive seminars where we sketch troupes talk shop, share tips, and watch demos featuring the latest in sketch comedy technology – we perform incredible shows for insanely reasonable prices (consider the quality, folks).
Above all, check out the fest. While you’re there, join us as we perform with comedy duo, B.O.F (Best of Friends). They’re a lady and a gent with a great webseries.
TICKETS: $10 [buy]
DATE: Saturday, June 13th @ 6pm
LOCATION: The Upright Citizens Brigade Theater
307 W. 26th Street / New York / NY 10001 [map]
A-Side/B-Side @ UCB
Our NYU intern, Ben, is apparently slacking off on something called “summer break”, leaving us to do all the posting ourselves. I had to log into my own profile just to write this update, unbelievable. Anyway Ben, wherever you are, don’t be long.
Right, so we’ve got a gig this Saturday. We’re part of a show called “A-Side/B-Side” at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater here in New York City. We’re joining renowned NYC sketch groups, New Exc!tement and Murderfist. The evening will find each group performing a popular sketch, followed by a newer and/or more unusual sketch.
In case you were concerned, our B-Side will not be the infamous Equus sketch that had us banned from Harvey’s Laff Lounge in Sheboygan back in ‘03.
TICKETS: $5.00
DATE:
Saturday, May 30th @ Midnight
(also known as Sunday morning)
LOCATION:

It’s 1 AM, you know what that means. It’s time to post a random video on a blog that nobody reads.
SketchFest NYC Line-Up Announced
From our buddy Keith Huang at The Apiary, a comprehensive layout of this year’s SketchFest NYC lineup. Yeah, we’re in there. More specific details to follow.
Sketch Drama
Hate to admit it, but I’ve probably acted like this…
Preview – The Farting Butterfly Sketch
Reminds me of a time when we were shooting a sketch in high school. It was a remake of ‘Parent Trap’ starring me and Jeremy, only we don’t look anything alike -get it! For whatever reason, it wasn’t “working” and we got kinda snippy. We started arguing over what was funny about it – not realizing that the true comedy was the two high school guys wearing old wigs and prom dresses, holding tiny plastic guitars and bitching at each other while Hayley Mills’ ‘Let’s Get Together’ plays in the background.
Bob Seger Themed Show
After many hours in the lab, FreeLoveForum has successfully “Seger’d” one of its sketches – and is poised to honor the great mustachioed spectre in two action packed evenings at the PIT, with Centralia, John Flynn and Nate Starkey, hosted by the great Matt Oberg.
