Olde English sketch pilot. In 2008, Olde English decided we were ready to have a TV show, and we started pitching ideas to cable channels. Most of our ideas were for themed sketch shows — my (Raphael’s) favorite was for basically a comedy version of TRL, full of original music videos, interviews with real and made-up celebrities, and youth-skewing commercials (we were about ten years...

It is, in other words, the antithesis of creativity, in that it seeks to pin and label creative work down like so many chloroformed butterflies. Now, finally, some crazed TV Tropes editor has caught us in her...

– Raphael got this pretty amazing mention in last week’s New York Times Magazine article about our manager, Peter Principato. The entire piece is a pretty great look into how your comedy sausage is made, so if you’re a comedy fan, check it out. - Adam

From worst to best: #6: The Fresh Prince of Obama In a way, it’s the worst; in a way, the best. I remember making videos like this way back when and being so pumped about how good they were. It’s that energy and excitement that I know was a part of the making of this that makes me love it even though there are barely any lines that are on beat. #5: Obama Health Care This...

Hey, guys, we got interviewed, for, some thing. (If the embedded video won’t play, you can watch it here.) After the interview, Dave followed up with this email: “Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It (and actually the vast majority of Big Willie Style) was produced by The Trackmasters who I kind of hate. Very embarrassing for me.” THE MORE YOU KNOW. -Raphael
