WatchI wrote Ball Pit Bar with Dan several months ago, but it was only recently CHTV had the resources and the chutzpah to take it on.
The sketch itself is short and silly, but consider what it takes to produce it. You’ve got to buy 40,012 plastic balls, transport them, unleash them in a bar at some weird off-hour, shoot a sketch, put away all the balls, and finally clean them in case someone...

WatchThis week on Bleep Bloop me, Sarah, Kumail and Pete check out some Beat ‘Em Ups (aka those games where you move to the right while hitting everyone).
My goal this week was to integrate a girl into the show without making it a, “we’ve got a girl!” episode, and Sarah was great.

In addition to the episode itself, this week we’re releasing some Bleep Bloop Blonus Footage. These deleted scenes were...

Mark Wahlberg: Well yeah, I wanted to know how accurate it was. I didn’t play it much myself, but my assistant played it every single day.

It’s frusturating to know that no matter how well we perform, the show’s intro graphic and theme song will always be the best part.
This week myself, Amir Blumenfeld, Pat Cassels, and Joe Mande explored the...
All this thinking about Weird Al reminded me of one my all-time favorite Onion articles, “I Must Take Issue With the Wikipedia Entry for ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic.” I went back to read it, and I’m a little embarassed how much it resembles the blog post I wrote last night.
I wrote:
Weird Al has adapted to the Internet better than any artist his age. His “White &...
One of cable news’ more egregious crimes is running unscientific text message polls, then reporting and analyzing the results. It wastes everyone’s time by talking about something they are admitting right up up front is meaningless. I believe this happens year round, but they’ve really turned it up for the election.
Every network is guilty, but Fox News wins for calling their...
