Weekend Filming

2009-07-27T16:54:00.000-07:00

It was another fun weekend for Funbox. This weekend we filmed two more Baldric and Balthazar sketches. While their plots are absolutely secret (take that Ain't It Cool News) I can tell you there was fake blood on apartment carpet and, as always, Matt ended up mostly naked at one point.

The Baldric and Balthazar sketches should be up soon, but before then, tune in for this Thursday's video where we see what really happened with Christopher Columbus asked for all those ships.

The only thing that’s happening in the world right now

2009-07-05T22:50:00.000-07:00

The only thing that’s happening in the world right now.

Hey there ‘The News’ just stopped by to see what’s happening in the world today can you give me a quick recap?

JACKSON COULD REST WITH THE STARS-

Right thank you I heard about Michael Jackson I was actually wondering about the civil unrest in Iran.

CELEBRITY DEATH RUMORS SPREAD ONLINE-

Yes, yes, I’m sure it’s astonishing how a number of older sick people might die during a heat wave in southern California. I’m really more concerned about North Korea firing missiles into the Sea of Japan. Can they send a Nuke that far?

BBQ COMPETITIONS ARE HOT!

Holy shit Palin Resigned?! How did I not hear about this?

Joke

2009-06-22T12:02:00.000-07:00

Doctors were astounded this month as high school student Jessica Terry diagnosed her own case Crohn's Disease while studying slides in her high school science class....

...Unfortunately her HMO doesn't cover high schools so now she owes Ms. Welch $48,000 out of pocket.

Scientific American Covers

2009-06-19T19:13:00.000-07:00

I don’t know if you know this, but there are only 3 covers to the magazine Scientific American. One is a picture of a Black Hole or Starry region of space with a grid superimposed on it (to represent our universe) with a provocative caption like “Strange Space: Could our Universe be shaped like a Condom?”

The second has a Neanderthal or old looking skull and the caption says something like, “Shadows of the Past: New evidence suggests our ancestors may have leased apartments.”

And the third is a picture of a cell or Double Helix and the caption is always “KILLER CELLS: New Ways to fight Superbugs!” verbatim.

Very occasionally they have a mushroom cloud and the caption is unrelated “World’s first nano-guitar built.” Those are weird.

John Helldeath: The Depths of Reason pt. 4

2009-06-19T16:51:00.000-07:00

John Helldeath could barely think with the high velocity winds whipping around him. Yet, John Helldeath was never a man for thinking when action could get the job done. His time was short, as the ground below him was growing closer, and the airplane that he had been dropped out of, farther. All he needed to do was find a way to break the binding that held him securely to the chair, and then slow his descent so he could land safely. He maybe had thirty seconds before he would be just another stain on Mother Earth's face. "Think damn it!" he yelled to himself.

A plan formulated in his head. "Perfect!" thought John, "But won't old Mr. Pennyworth be disappointed that I won't be needing his funeral services yet another time." John smiled to himself picturing the old funeral director's sour face at seeing Helldeath survive another mission. Mr. Pennyworth had given John a lifetime supply of black suits in exchange for promising to have his funeral with him. It would be the funeral of the decade and ensure big business for the stingy Mr. Pennyworth. With precision timing and pinpoint accuracy, John put his plan into effect. After landing safely, John brushed off his complimentary black suit and smiled.

Movies we'll be seeing soon

2009-06-15T15:59:00.000-07:00

With Hollywood already making films based on children's books, comics, video games, board games, toys, TV shows, other movies, card games, and astrological events, I didn't think it was possible that there was anything left to rip stories from and repackage as two hours of moving pictures. Then I went to Vegas and saw Hollywood's next frontier: slot machines. Here are a few films I think we'll all be watching soon:

Sun & Moon
Since the beginning of time, Sun and Moon have been bitter rivals. In their last epic struggle, a cocky Sun set the Lunar System ablaze as he managed to win up to 50 free games. Now, as the Great Cycle passes, a blue Moon patiently masses his Mayan armies and plots revenge.

Whales of Ca$h
John Whales just inherited some cash. A lot of cash! Suddenly he's a jerk and a braggart, wearing a top hat everywhere he goes, and using a bag with a dollar sign in lieu of a wallet. But when his pal Crabby overdoses at one of his famous parties, and buds Clam and Squid are too afraid after the incident to even talk with him. John soon learns that it takes more than cash to buy back friendship.

Game King: Multi-Denomination
The Unseen Game King is back seeking retribution for his last defeat 10,000 years ago. Can Robert Crayton, a linguist from Oxford, unlock the mysterious transmissions coming from the Multi-Denomination, a place in space-time far beyond our universe, to discover the secret to defeating the mighty Game King in his lust for vengeance? In this world, there's no room for error, as malfunction voids all plays.
