Win What’s in Craig Reid’s Left Pocket

Posted by Pete Berg on Sunday, January 3rd, 2010 at 10:13 am

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!

Cuban Gynecologist: Local Car Commercial

Posted by Pete Berg on Sunday, November 8th, 2009 at 9:26 pm

Yessss. This is part of a project by two guys named Rhett and Link who created I Love Local Commercials, and are driving around the country creating free commercials for small businesses. So yes, this is a real local commercial, but it is definitely tongue-in-cheek humor and it was made bad completely intentionally. But I still enjoyed it!

Posted by Pete Berg on Friday, September 18th, 2009 at 12:49 pm

“The heckler, an Old West End resident named Maxwell, puts little effort into his press conference-disrupting jeers, but busts up Ben Konop’s little event nonetheless. ” (Thanks, Charles)
