Exactly 10 years have now passed since France’s tipsiest chauffeur drove Princess Di into a wall, along with this cheeky lil’ fella…
So, the question is begged: is now an appropriate time for The Post Show to unveil their conspiracy theory about Diana’s death? That she wasn’t ever killed in that infamous car crash in Paris. Rather, she’s been held captive for the past decade by none other than Mr. Lion King himself, Sir Elton John. But that’s absurd, you say. Why would the “Reg” do such a dispicable thing to England’s Rose? Well…
Maybe we’ve gotten a bit possessive, but we hate to fathom Baby Cakes and the Professor Brothers involved in some kind of hyped-up cock fight or whatever.
So, who are the heartless bastards that came up with this crudely drawn competition between Brad Neely’s creations? Brad Neely and his friends.
Recently, when we were forcing Brad to do director’s commentary for our Inside The Artist series, he told us about how he and a former co-worker used to while away the workday coming up with fantasy face-offs between various comic book heroes. They’d end up drawing boxing poster-style pictures of the opposing characters, and then signing off on which one they’d pick to win the fight. Other friends of theirs joined in, and it soon became a blog called Versus.
The site is a treasure of trove of absurdist inside jokes. Many of the proposed fights involve super heroes…
…but there’s also matches between musicians and movie characters…
…as well as historical figures and forces of nature.
(We couldn’t help but notice that Brad always seems to pick whatever character is on the left side of the fight bill. Hmmm.)
Dear El Douche A,
Listen here, you piece of garbage. Every day, I come to work at Williams Street and tolerate your constant abuse. Well, guess what? I’m not going to fucking take it anymore! Don’t expect me to fill your cubicle up with furniture again. That was just a taste of what’s to come.
Watch your back, you sonovabitch!

What?! Who made that rule up? Francois “Papa Doc” Duvalier? Harry Belafonte? Does that apply to dudes in Florida too? Would the phrase “Tastes like jerk chicken” help this situation at all? And who made this sweeping declaration, anyways?
Why, none other than Prakazrel Samuel Michel in today’s premiere of Chelsea Peretti’s new series, All My Exes.
Most of us know him as Pras. He’s also been a Fugee, a Ghetto Superstar and “Disco Boy” Tony C. (for those of you who actually saw Mystery Men). In All My Exes, he plays the first of Chelsea’s ex-boyfriends to be sat down for an uncomfortable on-camera chat about what went wrong in their relationship. Not to give too much away, but the breakup may have had something to do with his dietary restrictions.
Hello Everyone!
Today we’re launching a beta iPhone application for all our fancy iPhone-owning users to enjoy SDXE on the go at http://iphone.superdeluxe.com. The current version sports the latest and greatest featured videos and podcasts. Future releases will include more videos and new layout and design things.
This was conceived of and written by star developer Heidi Hysell. We’d also like to throw a shout-out to Joe Hewitt for creating iUI, which allowed for quick prototyping and rapid development of this fine application.
If you’re an iPhone user, be sure to checkout http://iphone.superdeluxe.com and let us know what you think.
Multitasker extraordinaire Dave Hill isn’t content just to make ha-ha videos, TV shows, musical things, etc. He also enjoys going on naked cruises with these people and then talking about said experience with these people.
That’s not his real name. His real name is Jason Berlin. He’s an actor, writer and producer for the cult classic TV series, Weird TV. It was on Canadian and Los Angeles airwaves for a minute in the mid-90’s, but now it resides at this here obscure-o Website. Oh, these guys are also responsible for Weird America. Not to be confused with New Weird America.
Anyhow, this is It’s Elementary! Gardening Advice with Marty Chang.
Here’s a sample of his helpful Astroscopes. Pay attention to his roving facial mole.
OK, so “director’s commentary” makes it sound like Brad wears a beret and sits in a studio chair with a megaphone in his hand, shouting instructions at Baby Cakes and The Professor Brothers. Of course he doesn’t do that. That’s just silly.
But, given enough booze and coddling, the normally reclusive and tight-lipped artist is capable of opening up about his handiwork. So, when he was in town recently, we did the only honorable thing we could think of: we plied him with Ghetto Blasters (using his own secret recipe) and forced him to talk about some of his most popular videos.
(That’s Brad approaching total blackout mode)
The result? A series of candid conversations with Brad about four of his masterpieces: I Am Baby Cakes: Lies, Bring The Gold, The Professor Brothers: Substitute, and I Am Baby Cakes: The Role Play Tournament. Believe you us, this stuff is a goldmine for obsessive fans and casual observers alike (except if you’re hoping to see Brad’s face; just like Dr. Claw, only his hands appear in the videos). His explanations for his creations are as entertaining as the actual videos themselves.
What’s more, this behind-the-scenes chit-chat with Mr. Neely also marks the inaugural installment of our new Inside The Artist series (found here). In the future, we’ll be James Liptoning all over many of our favorite video makers’ work under this banner. So, pay attention!
Now, those of you who already receive our newsletter got this first snippet a while ago. Those of you who don’t receive our newsletter need to sign up for it (or just subscribe to the RSS feed on the newsletter page). But enough about that. Without further ado, here it is: the first taste of Inside The Artist: Brad Neely. Enjoy!
What?! Wait, did we mention David Cross just signed a multi-trillion-dollar deal with Super Deluxe? We’re paying him in bullion for funny videos! Just you wait and see!! Did we also mention that Eugene Mirman’s new series, Know A State, has given us one of the most enlightening perspectives on Massachusetts since Good Will Hunting? And did we happen to tell you Eugene’s got a new video called The Adventures Of The Insane High Detective that will melt your prior notions of space and digital time?
Oh, and did you read the New York Times article about these two attending the nuptials ceremony of an indie-rock power couple??
There you go again. It turns out that supposed diary entry that’s running rings around the Internet about you calling George W. a “ne’re-do-well” and “shiftless” is bullshit. And Lord do we know this type of fabrication probably made you really upset up there in Republican heaven (b.t.w., are the Hummers made of clouds or jellybeans there?). So, sue us for wanting to dream the impossible dream! But damnit, Gipper, we’re not going to give up on this classic clip of you and Nancy just saying “yes” to drugs.

Ronald and Nancy Reagan just say yes in a powerful sermon in favor of drug use.
