Do Not Hug This Man
29 December, 2009
Here’s a delightful rib tickler of a warning from the good people at everythingisterrible.com
I challenge you to watch this one all the way through. ‘The Music Kiss’ had me frowning at full crinkle.
The Secret Identity of Santa Claus
18 December, 2009
Unwanted husband and father, Paul Slater is a check out assistant in Tesco. But Paul leads a secret double life… He is… Santa Claus!… in the Tesco Christmas Grotto Mega Value Clearance section.

Like the awkward time when you watched a loved one dissapointedly unwrap your present bought on a shoestring budget, I would have liked to have offered you a slightly bigger, more raunchy present, but time’s been tight lately. Where’s the sherry. Sherry will dull this guilt.
Trivia: I wrote this when I was 13. Gadzooks! 10 years ago! In the ’90s! Jesus. Here’s the original sketch while I go and spin out in the corner.

I’m not going to lie, I quite like this one.
Guess the Celebrity – Bo Del Brickbrush?

Ever wanted to look at pictures which when said out loud sound like a celebrity’s name phonetically? Great! I’ll start you off on an easy one.

Christmas Card Animation For Go’Proces:
8 December, 2009
Danish company Go’Proces: came to me with a script for an animated Christmas card. So I made one. It’s only occurred to me recently that Scandinavians have a particular sense of humour. Like the sort of joke that doesn’t have a punchline… or a joke. Just a big vast dark cold landscape of subtlety. I like!
As their friend base is exclusively Danish they decided not to go for subtitles, so good luck working out what they’re saying! Let me know what you think they’re saying so I can laugh at/with you.
Lastly, big up to long suffering Amy Commander for doing the voice of 6 characters – possibly even a man’s voice too with help from my computer.
P.S. Seems there’s some audio sync problems with this uploaded version.
We Were on The Culture Show Ma!
3 December, 2009
As you can see from the pic above, Message in a Bottle was included in a little montage during Josie Long‘s segment on the rise and rise of online comedy, which focused squarely on Funny or Die UK and Popcorn Comedy, in which we’ve had a little more active role through October’s Electric Cinema screening. Ian’s giggling face was also spotted on the show enjoying Popcorn Comedy at the Roxy Bar and Screen in October.
Watch the video below and skip to 51 minutes in (if you haven’t got an hour to spare) to see the clip in full.
If Josie is to be believed (and I think she should be), online comedy is where it’s at. We totally agree that being able to produce and distribute your own content gives you so much more artistic freedom to experiment and not be so precious about ideas. Like Jon Petrie attested, you avoid the ‘too many cooks’ situation. As everyone knows, an overabundance of chefs does not good comedy make.
Now these creations are making their way into the clubs, bars, cinemas and underground Victorian toilets of Britain, through nights like Popcorn, there’s never been a better excuse to pick up a camera or sit down at your computer and create something hilarious, challenging or downright baffling.
If we’re honest, a glimpse of Ian’s face (above) and Louis’ hands are not the only things exciting us this week. Hopefully we can tell you more about those things some time in the near future.
