Sketch Cram was awesome last night! Big props to all the other writers and actors who managed to put together a hilarious hour of sketch comedy in less than 24 hours!
SKETCH CRAM
Sketch Cram is at UCB tonight at midnight. I have two live sketches in the show and one video sketch. All of them were written today. I’m exhausted and excited. Everyone really brought the heat this month. I think it’s going to be a great show.
Paul Scheer's Grandma Reviews His Performance on 30 Rock
- Grandma: I saw "The Rock."
- Paul: Oh Cool. Did you like it?
- Grandma: I thought it was very good. You used your face very well.
- Paul: Thanks?!
- Grandma: Oh yes, actors always have to always use their faces. Remember that Paul, that's where people look when they watch TV, at the faces.
- Paul: Right.
- Grandma: I liked this part a lot, it was VERY dramatic.
- Paul: It's supposed to be funny.
- Grandma: Yes, it was, but it had a lot of drama too. The other show you do is just you acting like a goofball.
- Paul: Well, that show isn't supposed to be dramatic.
- Grandma: Mm, I guess. Let me ask you a question, did you do your own running for this part?
- Paul: That wasn't me, that was the other guy, in the page uniform, Jack (McBrayer)
- Grandma: No, that was you running at the end.
- Paul: Nope. remember I got shot in the leg.
- Grandma: Right. Well that guy who was running was very good too. Is Alec Baldwin tall?
so its done. SUPERDELUXE didnt make SUPER BIG BUX
Well, my bread and butter from the last year and a half has finally ended. SUPERDELUXE.COM is being merged with adultswim.com. it almost seems likes its been a long time coming. especially considering the competition out there.
I really don’t know how to feel about it. I am glad i got the opertunity to do all the crazy ideas i had for videos. And its opened me up to a bunch of new people that might have not known who i was.
But, its time to move on. I’ll miss you superdeluxe…and yer money.
heres what chris albriecht had to say:
This is no joke. PaidContent wrote last night that Turner will fold comedy site SuperDeluxe into Adult Swim and lay off much of the SuperDeluxe staff. Turner sent us the following statement this morning:
“Effective immediately, we will begin transitioning the content of Super Deluxe.com to Adult Swim.com and merge the operation of both sites. This move allows us to grow more strategically and create a richer, stronger platform that builds on Adult Swim’s number-one position with young adults.”The move isn’t a surprising one (we predicted it back in November) given that Adult Swim was a much stronger, edgier brand for Turner. Why compete against yourself when you’re also trying to fend off the likes of College Humor, Funny or Die and Comedy Central? Not to mention upstarts like My Damn Channel and 60Frames and all the sitcoms the network is putting online.
Adult Swim has already been creating Internet-friendly entertainment for years. Shows like Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Frisky Dingo were animated, which does well online, and episodes were only 11 to 15 minutes long. Those run times aren’t exactly “snack” sized, but they’re short enough to be enjoyed in one sitting (while being long enough to work on oldteevee).
SuperDeluxe put up a good fight, but it just never caught on with audiences. Early on in its life it signed up just about any comedian or sketch comedy group with a web site. Unfortunately with comedy, quantity does not equal quality.

very true. Quantity does not equal Quality. which is the same thing that peter atencio wrote in his blog about a month ago in comparing SD and College Humor.
there are still more videos from me and peter on the way….they are gonna be epic.
Back to posting pics.
This will make a couple peeps chuckle and remember the good old days.
He’s right! I chuckled!
That would be great if this turned into some big internet meme. We were way ahead of our time with “cole slawesome!”
Even though IRONMAN is a certified “hit” by making 100.8 Million Dollars over the weekend, I think we can all agree that Robert Downey Jr., is no Vinnie Chase and this movie doesn’t have a thing on AQUAMAN
My brother was robbed at gunpoint a couple nights ago. This asshole asked for his money, so he gave him all $7 in his wallet. Then the thug wanted his car keys. My brother decided to jump him and went for the gun. Not what you are supposed to do. He tackled him and the dude squeezed off two shots. Somehow my brother wasn’t hit. He wrestled the gun away and the dude ran off without his shoes and his hat that said, “millionaire”. Now my brother wears that hat.
Tim Huebel…a badass motherfucker.
I got to hear Rob tell this story last night. It’s fucking insane! I got the shakes just hearing it.
I am Eric Appel. I write and perform comedy for the television, the stage, and the internets. I also take pictures. This is where I post things that I find interesting.
