Video Vednesday #30

Video Vednesday is back!  The blog is back!  I may even return to writing twice a week soon, though it's hard to find the time these days.  We'll see... We'll see...

For right now you can sink your mind's teeth into the penultimate episode of Series 2 of The Super Bros. Super Show!  S.M. gets trapped in the basement.  Baxter somehow doesn't notice.  S.M. starts losin' it as Baxter continues on with his daily life.

Video Vednesday #29

If you're a regular reader/Video Vednesday watcher, you may have noticed that I haven't been writing for a week or two.  Aside from the editing of The Super Pancake Bros. Super Show, which is quite time consuming itself, I've also been dealing with some issues in my personal life.  Sorry for the lack of updates, but there were more important things than bloggin' going on.

I was starting to make myself a little crazy (crazier?) with a self-enforced deadline on releasing the episodes for Series 2 of the show, so I've decided to take a week or two off.  Also, the final two episodes of this series will require way more effort than a typical episode (or two typical episodes, as it were), so the extra time will help me out with the task.

Fear not, Video Vednesday watcher, for I've conjured up quite the substitute for this week.  A friend of mine, Mike Terlesky, did the camera stuff on The Coxton Campaign and some other projects I've been involved with.  He's very talented at what he does, and more recently he's started to gain some momentum as a writer/director.  Take a look at his first short film as a writer/director (to my knowledge), featuring myself, Don McGlynn, and Rob Klubeck.  Reunited and it feels so good!

This video may help you get into the Halloween spirit; the topic is the ever-popular creatures of the night, vampires.

You know how sometimes in the cheapo DVD bins you find a hastily slapped together collection of comedy sketches featuring old time comedians?  Well, Vintage Yuks Video has put together just such a collection featuring The Pancake Brothers!  You'll find all your favorite sketches, including "2016", "Maury", "The Psychiatrist", and "Best Joke Ever".  There's even a special look at The Pancake Bros. behind the scenes as they carefully plan out one of their films.

Check out the video below and start digging into the "Stacks of Laffs"!

Are you sick of life bullying you?  Whatcha gonna do about it, brother?  When I'm being bullied by a bully in the seventh episode of Series 2, S.M. steps in to train me.  Witness my training and my showdown with the bully!  I would mention who the guest star is that plays the bully, but that would spoil the surprise.

Also, there's a commercial for Gillespie's by the Wharf, a pizza and seafood restaurant by the sea!  Plus, extra pizza footage!  Dig it!

Salve

"Salve"

A Sketch by Baxter Pancake

The Setting:  A kitchen

The players:  A husband and wife

The husband is holding a small notebook and a pen.  The wife is sitting at the table looking at a folded-up newspaper, perhaps reading the Bridge column.  (Why do papers still run a bridge column?  Does anyone play Bridge anymore?)

HUSBAND

Spicy brown?

WIFE

What?

HUSBAND

You said you wanted mustard.  Spicy brown?  Or yellow?

WIFE

Oh.  Yeah, spicy brown.

HUSBAND

Alright.  So we've got milk, bread, tortilla chips, Italian dressing, Ranch dressing, salve, hot sau...

WIFE

Wait, salve?

HUSBAND

Yeah, that's what it says.  Salve.

WIFE

Salve for what?

HUSBAND

I don't know.  That thing on my inner thigh cleared up, so it's not for that.

WIFE

Are you sure it says salve?

HUSBAND

I don't remember writing salve, but it's right there.  Did you write that?

WIFE

That's your writing.  I think.

HUSBAND

Salve... Salve...

WIFE

Could it be...

HUSBAND

Oh wait, maybe it says Suave.

WIFE

The shampoo?

HUSBAND

Yeah, that's what you use, right?

WIFE

No, I use the one with the pro-vitamins.

HUSBAND

Oh, yeah.  And I use the one from the dollar store...

WIFE

I wanted to talk to you about that...

HUSBAND

Not now.  Not until we figure out what the salve is for.

WIFE

Well, if it might be salve, and it might be Suave, maybe it's something else entirely.

HUSBAND

Hmm... Maybe it's... Oh!  I think maybe that's just a sloppy V, not an S.  I think maybe it says Value.

WIFE

Value?  Value what?

HUSBAND

Value shrimp?  Remember when we got that value shrimp?

WIFE

Yeah.  Remember the morning after when you had violent cramps?

HUSBAND

It was worth it.

WIFE

Don't get the value shrimp.

HUSBAND

Alright, alright, we'll get the good shrimp.  I'll cross out val... Wait a minute!  It says salad!

WIFE

Salad.

HUSBAND

Yep, that's it.  I don't know why I wrote salad.  Usually I put lettuce.  But yeah, that's definitely it.  Salad.

WIFE

Okay, so what's all on there?

HUSBAND

We've got milk, bread, tortilla chips, Italian dressing, Ranch dressing, salad (stupid smirk), hot sauce, Pop-Tarts, coffee, a replacement bolt for the sex swing, and mustard.  (Pause)  Spicy brown, right?

WIFE

Right.  (Pause)  Oh, and good shrimp!

HUSBAND

(Writing)  And good shrimp.  (Reflects)  The value shrimp is such a good deal though...

Oops!

Oops!  I was home all morning and afternoon yesterday and didn't realize it was Friday.  Therefore, no blog.  I'm sorry, guys.  By the time I got home from work the computer was in possession of Ginger and YaYa.  They were watching Spider-Man.  Would you deprive two ladies of Spider-Man?  Huh?  Wouldja?  Plus, the episode had Thor transformed into a frog (Frog of Thunder!) in it, so I watched it, too.

Well, the ship has sailed.  No blog.  Please accept as my sincere apology this video of The Ultimate Warrior talking about something or other and grunting a lot.  Here's a fun game you can play as you watch:  Grab a bottle of your favorite liquor and down a shot every time he says "Hulk Hogan".  If you live, I'll give you a prize (another Ultimate Warrior promo).

Check the blog next week for actual blogs and the newest episode of The Super Pancake Bros. Super Show!

Video Vednesday #26

I mentioned last Friday that I watch the commentaries on the DVDs that I especially like, and now it's your turn to watch The Super Pancake Bros. Super Show with commentary!  However, S.M. and I made the poor decision to store the entire first series on a VHS tape, and as we recorded the commentary track we discovered why this was such a bad idea.

This episode has a little bit of everything: a flashback to a simpler time (roughly two years ago), an angel, a devil, a sexy fish, celebrity cameos, a musical sequence, and maybe even a person that I'm married to.  Can you handle all that?
