TGIF (TELL GUS Chiggins I'M FUNNY)

It's Friday again - my the weeks are rolling on, IT'S MAY ALREADY, wow you and I gotta get in shape soon to hit the beach, bro! Nice cargos! - so I figured I'd gift you another video for your entertainment.

Here's another video from the Leadership Camp. This is Always Be Closing, our episodic office video. We recently added it to Funny Or Die, Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's comedy YouTube brainchild. Here's the deal: watch it, and if you think it's funny, click the Funny button on the clip. If you don't think it's funny, click the Die button. The more Funny rankings we get, the higher we're rated on the site and the better it looks. The more Die's we get, the lower our score and the worse it looks til' it's banished to the "unfunny crypt" of the site. So go ahead, watch it and rate, in full honesty, whatever you think. (I'm watching you SO hard and if you even think about hitting Die I will come through this screen so fast you'll think I was Al Gore jumping out of the internet I created....I am so serious right now, I would even slap Ghandi for voting Die, I don't even care...). What, go ahead, watch. I didn't say anything.

Always Be Closing: Episode 1

TGIFAHACV (thank God it's Friday and here's another couple videos)

Hello weekenders and welcome to Friday. The day that glares you in the face and says, "Look at me. You can't wait for my "day part" to be over so you can leave work, but can't wait for my "night part" to begin so you can get jiggy. You cannot escape me."

Here's to you having a good Friday. And here are a few more videos to get you through that "day part." The first one is a short from the Leadership Camp, the comedy short group I'm a part of (I tried to not end that sentence with a preposition about five times but failed each time so I gave in). I think it's our creepiest one yet. Enjoy Falcon (with Josh Lay as the tight-turtlenecked Falcon).




And the second video is another Star 76 commercial. This time with Josh ackin' the fool as a painter alongside Nick Ross (as a canvas, as it were).



And come be the Leadership Camp's friend on MySpace too. We are so lonely.

We Are All Leaders...but some of us have VIDEOS












Spring is starting (ever so slowly) to spring up and now the fruits of winter labor are staring to show. I'm not reciting some cryptic Robert Frost lyric (although that's what it sounds like).

Rather, I'm here to announce to you the launching of The Leadership Camp website.

The Leadership Camp is a sketch comedy video group I'm in with a few friends, Josh, Matthew, and Dugan. The first video, Always Be Closing - an office comedy about a horrible real estate firm - is up. I play the clueless intern - a role I've trained for through clueless internships. Check it out.

This is hopefully the first of a few launches I'll be telling you about here. Get excited. More funny stuff is coming. And so is Spring. We just gotta get above the 40 degree mark for that one to happen.


*If you're bored at work, at home, or at a really boring party that has high speed internet, you can also check out my YouTube page. I've been updating it with some old Lurecrest program videos. More will be added as time goes on.
