Splitsider is thrilled to offer our first digital download, The Exquisite Corpse Project, a fantastic film from the former members of legendary sketch group Olde English. I recently sat down with the guys to look through some of their classic Olde English sketches. Here, the group looked back at another niche favorite.
Ben: I made a video which you should not post by itself called Steven the Vegan.
Hey comedy fans: Ed Asner, Cloris Leachman, and Rip Taylor announced today in this Funny or Die video that they've joined forces to bring you the first-ever comedy site for old people, Ehhhhhhhh.com. It was good while it lasted.
Here's a video made for YouTube's Comedy Week in which Ben Schwartz (Parks and Recreation, House of Lies) plays a movie executive trying to convince Wedding Crashers/The Internship duo Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson to do another movie together despite being a crazy person.
Spring is finally here, and that means sunglasses, Frisbee tossing, and lots of dudes prancing around in Slutty Clothes. "Wait, what?" You heard me. That's what it means. At least according to New York-based sketch group Simply Unemployable's latest release — a goofy ode to 1980's "hot girl" movie montages and a male culture that annually celebrates girls bearing springtime skin.
The production value is fantastic as is the (prolonged) straight-faced devotion to a completely ridiculous and highly visual conceit. Well done, sirs. I look forward to seeing you in the park. I'll be the guy doing Pilates in the see-through lululemons. No, but really — great job on [...]
Splitsider is thrilled to offer our first digital download, The Exquisite Corpse Project, a fantastic film from the former members of legendary sketch group Olde English. I recently sat down with the guys to look through some of their classic Olde English sketches. First off, the group looked back at one of it's earliest videos, made while all the members were students at Bard College.
Raphael: I would like to talk about an old one first. This one is old, but I think it holds up in a fun way and I think it says a lot about the group.
Matt Ingebretson and Dave Ross are two Los Angeles comedians who host the excellent weekly live show Holy Fuck, and here's a new YouTube video from them in which they fight each other with fencing equipment. Neither of them have fenced before and Ingebretson bought the fencing equipment while he was drunk. Enjoy!
Never in the storied history of this column has there been a series that is more viscerally relatable than Passive Aggressive Friends Talking About Their Ambitions (PAFTATA). In an age of millennial disillusionment with traditional jobs where you have to “…work like 40 hours a week and not even be famous for it,” this web series is the perfect mantra for legions of twenty-somethings who were brought up to believe they are special and taught that being quietly evil is better than being overtly rude. As mom and dad said, networking’s important and you never want to burn a bridge.
Created, written by, and starring Max Azulay and [...]

I recently sat down with the guys to look through some of their classic Olde English sketches. Here, the group looked back at one of their biggest viral hits.
Ben: I think playing around with format was always the defining characteristic of our group. That's what we were most interested in, was experimenting with new ways to make comedy. So in 2006, there was a really popular video called "Noah takes a photo of himself every day for 6 years". And I got [...]
Splitsider is thrilled to offer our first digital download, The Exquisite Corpse Project, a fantastic film from the former members of legendary sketch group Olde English. I recently sat down with the guys to look through some of their classic Olde English sketches. Here, the group looked back at a couple videos of their favorite videos that played with format.
Joel: One I really like that, uh, is the O'Doul's rap because my sister-in-law is pregnant and she's been drinking O'Doul's and she hates it. [Laughs] But what can she do? And I showed her the O'Doul's rap and she loved it. It made her day. She showed it to [...]
Here's the latest video from sketch comedy duo BriTANicK, their first new video in nearly six months because they're super busy with other stuff. The video has racked up over a million hits in less than a day, which due to it being called "Sexy Pool Party" and partly due to it being a super funny video.
Every year, the comedy website CollegeHumor holds its annual All-Nighter, filming and posting new videos for 10 straight hours, and tonight is the night. From 8pm EST/5pm PST to 6am EST/3am PST tonight, the website will be holding the marathon as a part of YouTube's Comedy Week with a 10-hour live variety show hosted by Jeff Rubin accompanying the videos. "This is the extreme sports version of comedy and viral videomaking," Sam Reich, CollegeHumor's President of Original Content, tells Splitsider. "It's always a ton of fun, until 4am hits, and then it's utterly surreal. Tune in and watch us unravel." The CollegeHumor gang will be joined by a [...]
Splitsider is thrilled to offer our first digital download, The Exquisite Corpse Project, a fantastic film from the former members of legendary sketch group Olde English. I recently sat down with the guys to look through some of their classic Olde English sketches. Here, the group looked back at a niche favorite made as a part of their monthly Rules Show.
Caleb: I was looking through our YouTube channel about a year ago and realized that this one video that we had made, I think we watched it once had over a million hits out of nowhere. It is Blind Date.
Raphael: Oh, that's a sketch that came out of our [...]
Two young men are planning their band’s first show. After their first song, they’ll shout to the audience: “We haven’t even started yet! That stuff is bullshit! You guys are idiots for even liking that! I can’t believe you guys clapped for that, you’re idiots! Here’s the real song! Faggots!”
“Nirvana the Band” follows a band called Nirvana the Band (no relation), made of piano genius Jay McCarrol and musically untalented Matt Johnson. The band has never played a show, they’ve never really rehearsed, and when they get turned down by the first venue they call, they spend the rest of the ten-episode show trying to trick the [...]
Chilling words. Words that may be every parent’s worst nightmare, not necessarily because moms and pops hate laughter, but because a comic’s life is a hard one — often replete with substance abuse, loneliness, and the kind of poverty that stops being cool around your 476th cup of Ramen noodles.
I’d guess that very few parents want their kids to go into comedy, unless they’re in it themselves. That’s precisely the case for Tyler Alexander, head honcho at SecondCityNetwork.com and the heir to a Chicago comedy empire started by his dad, Second City co-owner and CEO Andrew Alexander.
