A few years ago, my friends Angel Yau and Jon Katz went out to the famous Dimples karaoke bar in Burbank and decided to do some “drunk” karaoke. They went up on stage and sang the ABCs, and Angel pretended to be absolutely sloshed to the point that she “forgot” the words. But neither of them actually was drunk at all (Jon says “i was with [Angel] the entire night, we had one drink each…i believe it was after a pendleton center event”, referring to our Ithaca College program that set up the karaoke night). It was just a comedy routine, and a kinda poor acting performance at that, because Angel clearly is quite alert and not drunk at all. (And no matter how drunk you are, nobody would ever recite the alphabet in completely random order.)
Anyway, Jon posted the video on YouTube and called it “Drunk Girl Forgets the ABCs.” Then last year, some moron producer at TruTV found it and decided it would be just perfect for their “World’s Dumbest Partiers” clip show. Except, somehow, none of the producers (several rounds of them) realized that this video was completely fake.
Oh, and the best part is, the show brought on their panel of “comedians” to poke fun at the clip, and they didn’t manage to make a single funny comment. Jon says “its funny because the exact things angel and i were making fun of while doing that routine are exactly the things pointed out by these people.” Agreed!
Congrats, Jon and Angel, for not only pranking Dimples, but also the entire crew of this retarded TV series!
And here is the original, uncut performance:

A few years ago, my good friend Dan Shott happened to press “record” during Nick Gas upon seeing a particularly geeky looking kid at the beginning of an episode of “Get The Picture” on Nick Gas. What unfolded was the greatest episode of TV in the history of mankind. This is the most unintentionally funny episode ever, and my roommates and I have made it a tradition to (drunkenly) watch this episode at least once a month. And yes, we have every line memorized and quote along. It’s like Rocky Horror Picture show for drunks.
The Highlights: The kid falling for EVERY trick question (“Australia?” “Meteors?”). Every one of Mike O’Malley’s awkward turns of phrase and jokes that fall flat. And the amazing hand motion the kid does at 15:35, which has been dubbed the: “Fist Pump Down Up Down Double Tap Jerk Off Arsenio Swoop to Rejected High Five”

Our buddy Craig Reid from Ithaca College has created a new web-based gameshow called “Win What’s in Craig Reid’s Left Pocket” — a follow up to his Ithaca College TV game show, “IC Match.” The premise is simple: Craig approaches random strangers on the street and plays a simple 4 minute game show, where they get asked only one trivia question or play one simple game. If they win, they get what’s in Craig Reid’s left pocket (usually about $20), if they get it partially right, they get what’s in Craig Reid’s right pocket (a few bucks), and if they fail completely, they walk away with nothing.
Craig’s posted a bunch of episodes on his YouTube Channel. Below is the first one. What I find most entertaining about the show is the charmingly low production values, and the fact that Craig keeps the camera rolling and doesn’t edit out any of the distractions or awkward exchanges that end up happening (which you would expect when all of your contestants are random strangers). Enjoy!

“Poverty-stricken best friends Will and Kirk decide the easiest way to make money fast is to start killing for it. But their friendship is put to the test when their Assassination business starts to get out of hand…”
A new short film from Ithaca College grad Joe Nicolosi. This seems like mostly an excuse to experiment with (and parody) excessive action movie special effects….but it’s a hilarious and entertaining ride. Enjoy!
