Is this on?

“Don’t fuck it up,” our fearless leader always jokes. It’s become something of a mantra here as we’ve toiled away for many months designing and building
Super Deluxe. This is an exciting and proud moment for me, and for everyone who worked late hours out of love and a slightly creepy devotion to finally release our precious to you. I hope that as you watch and interact with our content and community, you’ll feel our passion for technology, sense our admiration for comedy and connecting the people who love it.

It’s insane to look back and realize just how quickly the idea developed from cafeteria-napkin notes to the fully functional, multi-platform network you see now. I remember sipping coffee from a ridiculously thin paper cup on my first day, looking around at the seven familiar faces skirting the table and thinking two things. One: this Super Deluxe concept has the potential to be the best damn thing EVER, given the intense drive to innovate the sandbox in which we’ve all played for many, many (embarrassingly many) years; and two: you’d think this company had enough money to get some better cups!

Now, we have more people than I can count on my fingers and toes, with each and every member in the family just as dedicated as the next. I’ve learned that finding gifted people isn’t all that difficult - it’s finding people who share an oddball sense of humor who also “get it” when it comes to technology that’s damn near impossible. But somehow we managed to pull it off. And really, that’s the best part about Super Deluxe. We work hard together; but we play even harder together.

The network and the team that built it has morphed and grown, and, like
Renee Zellweger, we’re prepared to expand and slim down as our roles demand it. Yet oddly, even through all the changes in the past and those to come, it’s still refreshing to know the legacy of those crappy cheap coffee cups lives on. So pour yourself a drink in one of our paper cups, kick back in the cut with a video while we keep getting more retardedly sick shit for you to watch and interact with. Just don’t fuck it up.

    • Any place on the Web with Richard Belzer has my full attention. You people rock — and by luring him over here, I can tell you’re already making the right decisions.

      Don’t fuck it up. ;)
