Rich Kuras from Effinfunny.com was at Comic-Con interviewing costumed characters to see who they would vote for.
Guess what Black Nerd in a certain Scooby-Doo costume makes his way into the piece? Yes, it’s me, plus talks about “Rarack Rorama.” The video is also available on YouTube.
UPDATE [07.14.08]: Changed the embed to Hulu, the company behind TV Guide Broadband.
TV Guide Broadband has released their latest video, “An American Intervention,” about a kid who just can’t realize he’ll never make it on American Idol. If you look real closely at the judge’s table, you may see a Black Nerd as “Sandy Jackson.” Plus, Dave Holmes from MTV is in it! You HAVE to watch it now!
Pansy Warrior Princess has released her latest video, and it’s a Pansy/Black Nerd video collabo. Gangsta Gizmo in on trial for the murder of Pansy’s cousin, and I, as his lawyer, try to get him off the hook. But you know Gangsta Gizmo, he’s such a “cut” up.
UPDATE [07.16.08]: Changed the embed to Crackle, who is the company behind the show.
Check out the second episode of Comedy Gumbo on CSpot, and if you look closely in the “Schmapplebapp’s” segment, you might see a black nerd hanging out with the fellows to chomp down on some Ribs Alfredo. Just watch it, you’ll get it. I’ll be in more episodes, so stay tuned.
As you know, I do act. Seriously. Anyway, I write and star in an mobisode series called “Soul and Son.” It’s about the adventures of a “Funk Soul Avenger” who tries to teach his more current son the ways of fighting evil. It’s a hoot, especially if you’re a fan of blaxploitation movies, pop culture parodies, and seeing innocent people getting punched in the face.
Comedy Time Network distributes the episodes. You can watch the first five episodes, plus 2 PSA spots we did for Black History Month, on this YouTube playlist. Check it out and give it the love that you give my videos! Thank you so much.
Last month, I went to the Revver Screening Series in Los Angeles and had the pleasure of running into fellow video creators Pansy Warrior Princess and Ask a Chola, who was the guest host of the recap video of the event. Check out the video to see three awesome “Cewebrities” talk to each other. And just to check out Chola and Pansy, they’re awesome blossom!
Soul and Son, the Internet/mobile comedy series I wrote and star in is now making its way to YouTube. And YouTube has given the series an honor by making the first episode, “Meet Soul and Son”, today’s Spotlight video for Comedy.
If you need more Soul and Son, check out the first five episodes at Comedy Time.
Check out my 2nd appearance on this hilarious video game podcast, where I talk lovingly about Super Smash Bros. Brawl, give my “Black Nerd State of the Union,” and coin a brand new name for African-American racism, “Fried Chicken McWatermelon.”
Well, Soul and Son are back, but for edutainment purposes. The characters have put together special PSA spots for Black History Month. I know what you’re thinking, “How can you make Black History Month funny?” Well, I think we did a pretty decent job.
When I was in Austin, I was part of a documentary short called “art/work” directed by Avram Dodson. It showcased four artists - a burlesque dancer, an author, a musician, and yours truly, a stand-up comedian - who have to balance their passion of their art with their day jobs for income. The short was a South by Southwest Jury Prize Winner and has recently been added to a Journey of Short Film DVD compilation.
I found the short on YouTube and thought you’d like to watch it. You can also see the short on Avram’s imeem page. And yes, the short does show off my fabulous Smurf collection.
