New CHTV: Weak Sauce. Written by me & directed by Josh Ruben. I’m really happy about how this one came out, thanks in large part to Josh’s direction and Vince’s hilariously accurate cinematography. Enjoy (and digg, if you’re so inclined).

One of my top 5 favorite moments in CV history: Jake caught trashing Ricky’s Shaq cardboard cutout while we group sing Third Eye Blind’s Semi-Charmed Life.

That was 2 years ago?!

This was my first week at CollegeHumor, and while I was bold enough to join in on the dancing, I was too shy to tell Jake that, by breaking Shaq on me, he gave me a bruise that lasted a month.

Font Conference, directed by me, produced by CHTV.

The story:

Streeter, myself, and a group of people thought of the idea coming back from Internet Commenter 3. The consensus was that the internet commenter series was becoming hackneyed and that we would have to find another funny computer-y premise.

Everyone on Editorial contributed ideas, and Dan and Streeter crafted the script, their only stipulations being that they got to play Wingdings and Old English respectively. Since there were so many roles, we decided, in part to lighten the budget, that everyone from Editorial should act in it. This is the first time Vince, our cinematographer, has played a role (Ransom). Vince is an absurdly talented actor, and doesn’t step in front of the camera more often only because he’s usually behind it.

We shot at Kingsborough College, where we also shot Honest College Ad and Why Girls Don’t Fart, making this the third hit video at that location. It was a disorienting shoot, done in bits and pieces depending on what was convenient for lights, and by the end of the day, we weren’t sure we had everything we needed. We did a second day for Ransom and Comic Sans in our landlord’s warehouse and had to pause several times for Hasidic Jews to cross frame.

Our new editor Adam’s cut was quickly genius and our composer Dimitri’s score was the icing on the cake. This has been up for less than 10 hours and has 40 reblogs, 3,000 Diggs, and 100,000 views.

Great work, everyone.

I found tickets to a 2am Dark Knight on IMAX on Craig’s List.

When you’re bad at planning, there’s always the internet.

Dr. Horrible:

My friend Dave encouraged me to check out this new web series starring Neil Patrick Harris. Fast-forward through the blog to get to the good stuff.

I surprisingly enjoyed it. I wonder what it says that web properties are popping up with minimalist web design and ambiguous financial backing. Is this the end of the dot content bust or the beginning of a new boom?

The rigatoni with pork sausage and summer onions at Franny’s is one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had.

Thanks to Sarah and Adam for exposing us.

I just watched “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” for the first time, which confirmed for me that Terry Gilliam is brilliant, not insane (as I suspected after watching “12 Monkeys” and “Brazil”), and that Johnny Depp is not overrated (as I suspected after watching “Edward Scissorhands” and “Pirates of the Caribbean”).
