Spiders on Drugs

A couple of weeks ago I watched the video Spiders On Drugs.

It’s a parody of the old Hinterland Who’s Who show that you may remember if you watched Saturday morning cartoons in the 1980’s here in Canada. Hinterland’s Who’s Who would come on between shows—I used to hate them, “enough with the stupid animals I want to see cartoons!”

This interesting read is the story of Andrew Struthers who made the video and his narration of what happened after he posted it on YouTube.

Stephen Colbert’s Interview by the Institute of Politics at Harvard

A Conversation with Stephen Colbert

I found the video of Stephen Colbert’s appearance before the Institute of Politics at Harvard an enjoyable and entertaining look at the real life Stephen Colbert. It humoured me to find out, among other things he bases his character on, he really is afraid of bears.

Enjoy the conversation and learn more about what makes his persona on the show in this video, A Conversation With Stephen Colbert. Be aware, the video is about an hour and ten minutes long.

Break a Leg

On a shoestring budget, a collection of very funny folk have created a 22-minute-long pilot episode called “Break a Leg“. It’s heavily influenced by Arrested Development and it’s funnier than (or at least as funny as) most sitcoms on TV. Look for the next episode sometime early next year.
