Our 7 Most Fucked Up Videos Of 2007

In January, we launched a Website and since then, we’ve thrown a lot of shit against the proverbial wall. Some of it has stuck. Some of it hasn’t. Some of it has congealed into little fat deposits around our ankles.

And then there’s the stuff that is just really fucked up. And we mean that in the best possible way. Sort of. Here’s the list:

1. Curious Crackhead - Trick Or Treat

Have a happy ironically racist Halloween, everybody! Jason Ruiz completely snorted up the line between “funny cuz it’s true” and “you’re making everybody very uncomfortable” with this episode of Curious Crackhead. First off, Mr. Curious himself is a walking, talking super-mega-stereotype of a cocaine smoker: he’s black, he’s barefoot, his clothes are stained and ripped up, he’s got food and other little bits hanging off of his face and he’s always rubbing at himself. Then, there’s the ongoing premise: Curious likes to harass unwitting white people for various crap. In this Halloween installment, he begs and pleads for candy from a waspy homeowner, at one point beseeching him to “Taste the rainbow, nigger.” But what makes this one truly cringe-inducing is the final gag. Watch it for yourself and try not to murmur “Oh, no he didn’t” to yourself.

2. 9/11 Coin

The title “911 Coin” is kind of misleading. The narrator clearly states at the beginning that the “metal supply from the wreckage of the World Trade Center has been depleted by the previous” 9/11 Commemorative Coins. So, what exactly is Dutch West selling here? A Frankenstein creation steeped in the great American tradition of tragedy profiteering. The Ground Zero side of the “Freedom-Disaster Combo Coin” is believably fucked up enough. However, the bas relief of a black family stranded on a roof in Hurricane Katrina-ravaged New Orleans is from a whole other dimension of wack; one where George W. Bush just comes out and says, “Kanye was right. I really don’t care about black people.” But the real fucked up question is, would you buy this all-too-real monstrosity? That is, if it was real? You know, just to be ironic?

3. Disnutskin

If we told you this may be the most graphically explicit video on the site, would you get excited? Don’t. Unless you like watching David Neher play with his exposed ballsack. His buck teeth, jean shorts and shit-hacked haircut are equally disturbing, not to mention the fact all of this is taking place at a wake. And that’s just in the set-up. What follows is the ultimate tea bag joke writ like an eerily familiar nightmare: we’ve all been at a solemn gathering where some jackass does something that’s wildly inappropriate. We’ve also all witnessed how grown-ass men and women are reduced to acting like children the second somebody busts out the latest prop-heavy board-game or whatever. And we’ve all had a big, saggy set of nuts jiggle and shake into our open mouths before, right? Right. Oh, and don’t forget about the diarrhea guns.

4. Panda Porn

Psst. Wanna see something real freaky aaaaaaaand real stupid? How about a grown man in a panda bear costume jacking off? Or is that too 2006 for you? Well then, how about a grown man in a panda bear costume fucking a grown man in a giraffe costume eating the ass of a grown man in a panda costume sucking the dick of a grown man in a lion costume spanking a grown man in a dear costume felating a grown man in an alligator costume all the while a grown man in a lobster costume runs around fluffing everybody? Remarkably, that’s not even the most abjectly retarded thing in this video. That award goes to Roger Black (of Waco And Roger) who plays the role of Dr. Wang Chung–the squintiest, most richshaw-pullingest Asian stereotype since the phrase, “Ching chong wing wong.”

5. Y’all So Stupid #1

“Seizure inducing.” That’s always the go-to phrase around here to describe Devin Flynn’s animated series. But it’s this premiere episode that set the fucked-up bar on high. After all, when’s the last time you watched a crack vial slowly float through a bright, flashing K-hole tunnel? Or a giant Rasta head stuff a white cop into his weed pipe and smoke him? Or an unintelligible DMT elf pop up in what appears to be a human fat cell and babble something about “bubbles?” Hmm? The true art of Y’all’s fucked-up-ness is the way Devin makes every squiggly bit of weirdness seem oddly recognizable, like we’re all sharing in the same hallucinations brought on by huffing the same expensive art store supplies in back of the same Radio Shack outlet store.

6. Bender

There are two levels of fucked up-ness to this video, and they nearly cancel each other out. The first is the obvious message here: shamelessly crappy L.A. rapper loves drugs and alcohol. Oh yeah, and pussy, too!! Haha. Isn’t he crazy?? The other is the much more tepid reality of what’s really going on: Andre Legacy and his crew seem to be just a funky bunch of Jewfroed rich kids who got their start in Hollywood decadence because their parents are “in the biz.” Where’s the proof? Cisco Adler. He produced the track and appears in the video, and we all know why he’s “famous.” Still, all hatin’ aside, an opiate-dipped crack rock does sound like fun.

7. Hands Of God

This video series begets thy question, “What the fuck do puppets have to do with the teachings of Jesus Christ?” We have no answers, but the puppeteers do. Christ, they probably think God is going to personally thank each and every one of them when they get to heaven by shoving his fist up their respective asses and making them sing “I Want To Know You.” Alyson Levy of PFFR/Wondershowzen fame shot this seven-part documentary at a real-life Christian puppet camp, and the results are truly blessed. Once again, the pure, crystalized fucked-up-ness of reality trumps all. You just can’t make up shit like, “It’s always poor down there [Mexico]…it seems like there’s so many people that needs to be reached the Lord and puppets is one of the few things that are used.”

How ‘Bout That Tim And Eric Nite Live Last Night?

new-tim-and-eric-tech-dif.gif

To all of you faithful viewers, we offer our sincere apologies. From what we know, some intern at the Super Deluxe Sacramento office loaded his goddamn video blog or something onto the server and jammed everything up.

The complete sixth episode of Tim and Eric Nite Live will be posted on our home page soon…WITH SOUND!!

The Definitive Super Deluxe Interview: Toby Radloff

toby-sdxe.jpg

Perhaps you don’t already deal with enough guilt during the holiday season. If that’s the case, let us correct matters: it’s Toby Radloff’s 50th birthday today, and you probably forgot all about it, didn’t you? You selfish son-of-a-bitch. No worries, though. “The Geniune Nerd” is doing just fine and dandy. These days, he’s the voice of Ted in the Lance Myers‘ Super Deluxe series, The Ted Zone. He also lives large off his cult status garnered from being a major character in the comic and film versions of Harvey Pekar’s American Splendor, among his many other nerdy projects. So, to celebrate Toby’s golden anniversary on this planet, we recently caught up with him in Cleveland, where we were joined by his long-time filmmaker friend, Wayne Alan Harold. We all shared beers and they shared some insight into their beautiful partnership on cult horror classics such as Killer Bride, Bride of Killer Nerd and Townies, as well as the prospect of getting Super Deluxe tattoos on their asses.

Tonight’s The Very Last Tim And Eric Nite Live!!

…before their big winter break, that is. They won’t be going back on air until Tuesday January 29th. At least, that’s what their live page says…

te-sked.png

They set the dates and type them into those little boxes. We just obey them like stupid, stupid sheep. In the meantime, did you know Eric Wareheim just directed a music video for The Bird And The Bee? It’s called “Polite Dance Song” and it’s nothing less than the best slowjam of the new millennium.

In another meantime, shouldn’t you revisit the now infamous gingerbread house meltdown from Tim and Eric Nite Live #5? We took the liberty of giving the whole debacle with SNL’s Will Forte a video of its own. Just to be festive.

Professor Brothers Microsite “Unquestionably The Funniest Thing On The Internet Right Now?”

What’s this? Who said that? These guys?

new-york-post.png

Yes, that’s right. One of America’s oldest and biggest newspapers has decreed Brad Neely’s beloved creations to be funnier than anything else in Cyberland right now, including Will Farrell’s new “The Landlord 13: Pearl Is Just A Fucking Baby” video. Read the review for yourself RIGHT HERE.

Now, about this microsite: it’s located off of our homepage and it looks like this (except bigger):

microsite-bra.png

Notice how saturated in Professor Brothers goodness it is. That’s the whole point. It’s all part of our new campaign to proselytize Frank and Steve to the world at large. For the uninitiated, it makes for a spiffy introduction to their manic rants. For the already devoted, there’s special goodies to snack on like:

Secret insider secrets about Brad Neely
Free MP3 and lyrics of the JFK rap
Free desktop wallpapers
Free Stallone Cuts

Do you even know what a Stallone Cut is, little dog? It’s a pile of ugly meat. Veins of tangy mayo. And drawn tightly over it all is a thin skin of sweaty, pinkish cheese. Like this:

(It’s also some weird food item in the new Prof. Bros. that’s already on the site even though its “official debut” isn’t until this Thursday.)

Holiday Gift Ideas #1 And #2: the NeherCracker & Disnutskin!

This is a Nehercracker. Kind of like your traditional nutcracker except it’s a horrifically transfigured little monster made up of David Neher’s face. And the only thing it cracks open are little nuts shells with David’s face in them. Sound delicious? Happy Christmas!

nehercracker.gif

If that’s not your cup of tea, why not try DISNUTSKIN!? We’ve been waiting to share this lil’ gem from Honor Student for awhile. And the weird thing is, Neher’s ten times as disturbing in this than that Photoshop abortion we just created.

Podcast Wednesday: [Still] Born In The USA With Jonah Ray

Today’s podcast is put together from Chunklet’s [Still] Born In The USA Tour. A couple of months ago, I jumped in the car with Jonah Ray, Sean O’Connor, Nick Maritato, Andrew Wright and filmed the last show of the tour.

It was a blast… for me at least.

They might need to spend some time apart from each other.

Hey, Lookie! We Made A Video Game!

violent-night-pic.png

Now, play it already! Just click on the pretty picture and start shooting a.s.a.p. Then ask questions, like “what’s your stupid video game about?”

Well, as you can see, it’s called Violent Night: Win The War On Christmas, and it’s all about mowing down Santa Claus and everything else our culture holds so dear this time of year. We pretty much ripped off the Atari classic, Missile Command, as far as game play goes. But the goal in Violent Night is to defend your secular city from the annual Christmas onslaught, and ultimately, establish the more politically-correct holiday, World People Day.

Call us crazy, but we figured there was still enough mileage to squeeze out of the retarded “War on Christmas” debate to furnish a Flash game. Also, we may be re-recording some of the voices in the game this week, since right now, they’re kind of fuzzy. But other than that, what you see is what you get. Now go brutalize St. Fat Ass!

The Educational Side Of Devin Flynn

This blog is many things to not-so-many people. Among its functions, it acts as the antithesis–an antidote, if you will–to whatever’s cooking on the home page. For example, if the crass commercialization of those Walk Hard pop-up ads is getting to you, come to the blog where the only thing we advertise is our desperation. If there’s a new video on the home page that’s really funny, we try to post something completely unfunny here. And if a video premieres that’s so addictively intoxicating and disorienting–as is the case with today’s Y’all So Stupid–that you end up doing this, then let this blog be the “safe space” where you can come down in peace. Amongst friends and fellow visionaries. Kind of like a commune.

You may have noticed, Devin Flynn’s series for us has been gradually morphing into a more fully realized mindfuck with each new episode. Apparently, he moved somewhat recently from New York to L.A. where he now employs a cadre of animators and helper gnomes to jam as much shapeshifting weirdness as possible into each Y’all So Stupid. But that’s not to say that’s all he does. He’s plenty in-demand in the fun-time indie muzik circles, too (i.e. Erase Errata’s “Retreat, The Most Familiar,” Lightning Bolt/Wolf Eyes’ “Pick A Winner”). And then there’s this lil’ educational gem he did. It’s called How Do We Hear? and it’s his version of a children’s cartoon. The signature “drawn from an acid trip” style animation is the same, but the hallucinatory vice and crap eating that are his usual subject matters is replaced with a gentle and informative lesson on the intricacies of auditory perception. Now, how’s that for a warm blanket, Captain Trips?
