These days, the duo is most widely acknowledged for their sketch comedy program Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! that airs on the Cartoon Network‘s late night programming block Adult Swim and features jarring quick-cut editing, [...]
Back in October, comedians, Nick Kroll and Jon Daly introduced their characters of “Bobby Bottleservice” and “Peter Papparazzo” (aka: “The Ed Hardy Boyz”) to the world via a video short on FunnyorDie.com. Taking jabs at gaudy, tanning bed glamor boys and playing off the name of the classic, fictional teenage detectives, the video featured the duo trying to solve the case of a stolen belt buckle. We liked that video and posted it. Apparently, Funny or Die became aware that we had, because I just received an email from the site asking if we’d be interested in posting the follow up as well. We were. Read the rest of this entry →
This video is from FunnyorDie.com. This means that, if you click the link above, it will take you to the original page where you can vote if you think that it’s “Funny” or that you feel the video should “DIE“. It’s a pretty simple concept and, If you can’t handle it, you probably shouldn’t be operating a computer or any other equally complex piece of technology, anyway.
Beyond the obvious, 2 major things about this video really caught my attention:
The first is that I have been fairly outspoken about my feelings that Ed Hardy may be the new Cross Colours for the ought generation. It’s all gaudy, over-done pieces that looks tacky as fuck, and that no one will admit to have ever worn in a few years.
The second thing that pleased me about the video was seeing an appearance by Brody Stevens as the belt buckle thief. Most of you won’t know who the fuck Brody is, but I used to watch his Seattle public access show religiously when I was in high school. Eventually, Stevens left to make his way in the glamorous world of Los Angeles and has been swimming around as a small fish ever since. Even if it’s just the ex-suburban teenage potheads, some of us out here remember you from way back when and wish you success, sir.
