Olde English Speaks!

As opposed to what they normally do? Don’t they usually speak…with words? Who writes these stupid headlines, anyways?

As we mentioned before, we were in New York recently where we got to spend time annoying the piss out of some of our favorite video makers. Among the irritated was Olde English, the comedy troupe that has brought you such Super Deluxe favorites as this and that and this and that. We were able to coax three-fifths of the group (Ben Popik, David Segal and Raphael Bob-Waksberg) to meet up with us in Madison Square Park on a fine Friday afternoon. The other two guys (Caleb Bark and Adam Conover) politely declined, telling us to “go fuck ourselves.”

But seriously, folks–at the risk of getting all blubbery–the OE guys really are as fun and nice in person as they appear to be in their videos. We even got them to reflect a little bit on the whole Super Deluxe experience and what it’s like making comedy shorts for an audience of very opinionated commenters.

They also broke us off this lil’ gem of a promo that really drives home the point of just how happy Olde English is with us!

Also, check out the write-up Olde English just got on NewTeeVee.com. For the uninitiated, NewTeeVee is a great site that’s tracking this whole online video explosion that we’re presently knee-deep in.
