Hardly Working: Maidmer

Love is blind, fortunately.

This sketch features me with a facial rash singing a barbershop quartet song with a half-human half-fish mutant with a blurred crotch. A.O. Scott of the New York Times is probably writing a very long and thoughtful review of it for the Sunday paper which is why you haven’t seen him chime in on it yet.

The Student Film Awards

I wrote this with the delightful Emily Axford, though everyone on the writing staff contributed some real winning zingers based on painful real-life memories. It brings me back to my Syracuse film school days.

Introducing Dire Consequences - Episode One: 50 Mile Walk

Two men. One game of Rock Paper Scissors. One really long walk home.

Check out Murph and I’s new series. We have really stupid competitions with really awful consequences.

I love everything about this: the idea, the execution, both the dudes in it. The first :23 is so unbelievably intense and amazing, and then Murph manages to be hilarious while living out a nightmare. “I’m walking like when your mom hurries up.”

Emily Axford is a super cool new CH writer, and this is her first produced sketch. I love it and I’m excited about all the things she hasn’t written yet. Kudos to Vince and Gloo Studios for nailing the visuals in such a unique way.

The above is a clip from Season 1, Episode 11, the Christmas episode of the show Sports Night, titled “The Six Southern Gentlemen.”

One of the plots from this episode, featured in this clip, centers around Casey, a main character and Sports Night anchor, not knowing, and then learning the names of the different people that work on his show, in the Sports Night world.

I just rewatched this episode, and cross checked some of the names he mentioned against the credits for the episode. They are the names of the actual people who were involved with the production of Sports Night, in the real world. When Dan, the co-anchor says, “We’ve got film on this show. Do you know who cuts it?” and Casey says, “Janet Ashikaga,” that’s the actual person who edited Sports Night. The script supervisor’s name they mention is the actual script supervisors name, and so on. They mention the grips, they mention the PAs, the wardrobe department, the hair stylists, and so on. 

It feels very special that a real TV show did this, and found a way to publicly recognize people on its staff. It goes a long way, I think— saying thank you, remembering people’s names, humility, humanity, and appreciation.

When people watch videos on CollegeHumor, I’m certain it’s for the writing. We have wonderful writers. But one of the things, in addition to the writing, that makes our videos different, is the production value. It’s a great product. The videos are great to watch. That comes from the production and post production departments. That’s 10 to 30+ smart, funny, enthusiastic, creative, talented, dedicated film and video industry professionals working on every video. 

When these videos post on the site, under a tab marked “Credits”, to the right of the “Comments” section, you can see a list of these people. It’s not quite the same as saying their names out loud on television, but if you’re a fan of the CollegeHumor Original Video content and you have a moment, I’d like to invite you to take a quick look at the credits. It’s really a team sport over here, and we have a great team.

Thanks everyone, and happy holidays.

(By the way, compiling and entering the credits is one of the millions of things done but the Production Coordinator. My Production Coordinator is Jon Wolf. Thanks, buddy.)

Wonderful words from Eva.

One of the reasons I’m so proud to work at CH is that it’s never been a place that just churns out Internet comedy shorts - it’s a place that aspires to make little films. And that is largely due to our immensely talented production staff, who make things happen every day and impress everyone who shows up on our sets with their professionalism, except for Vincent Peone who sexually harasses pretty much everybody.

Hardly Working is back! This new one’s called Stage Names.
