Roommating
Looking at the most popular videos on You Tube I can’t help but roll my eyes. Really? It’s another shining example of how grotesquely mediocre people are and how effective childhood conditioning can be. But I digress…
Thankfully there are some really talented people creating original content that often surpasses some of the better offerings of the major networks *cough* and hardly anybody knows what they’re doing. These people need to be promoted and I think this is a great place to start because our readers are quite often tiers above the average internet stooge.
Today I’m featuring the completely unbridled hilarity of Roommating written and performed by Joel Church-Cooper and Erin Gibson. There are twelve episodes on You Tube and a bonus live performance on their web site that is too hard core for You Tube. Below you can see episode 4 “Porn” because I thought it particularly appropriate. You can also see the entire series on the roommatingshow.com web site or on my You Tube channel (I created a Roommating playlist for your convenience).
Love the video-I have a repressed friend who is obsessed with Jane Austin and wishes I weren’t gay.
I know there are a lot of uncreative, dull and untalented people out there, but have pity on us.
Are you kidding? Compared to these two I feel like one of the great unwashed myself!
That is amazing. I feel like its a glass of real cold water in 110 degree heat; I speak from experience.
Johnny – are you going to be in Boston or P-town this summer. You ran by me at the South End open market a few weeks back and I didn’t get a chance to worship you.
BW — you introduced me to YouTube! It seems like you were all over it way before anyone else. Can’t wait to give this series a viewing. Thanks for passing it on!
