As some of you know, I do shows for Comedy Time Network. Most of the programs I’m in, like Soul and Son and the April Fools jokes, were written by me. But here’s a couple of videos where I just did cameo and guest star appearances. It’s also two of the few times you’ll see me play… brace yourself… a gangsta rapper! Hey, it worked for Chris Rock in CB4. Didn’t it?
The first is from a while back on a series called Dick Nobody. Dick is a private detective that looks for abstract lost things (like losing time or your virginity). For me, I play Two-Bits, a rapper that has lost my rhythm. What follows is the worst cover of “The Real Slim Shady” ever, race humor, gender issues, and the first freestyle rap to mention the movie Yentyl.
The second is a recent release of Durrty Dav. Durrty is a thug that wants to gangsta rap, but just also happens to be good with IT stuff. That’s real pimp, playa. I play Aggravated Assault, a rapper who just got out of prison (hard to believe) and still lives with his mother (easy to believe). Oh, and did I mention I strip at the end? Ah, that’s not important.
Will there be more cameos of me in other Comedy Time productions? Only time will tell…
Everyone knows Vince! He’s that guy that promotes ShamWow. And punches ladies of the night. So it makes sense that his next career should be a rapper.
Here’s Vince rapping about another product called the Slap Chop, thanks to a mashup/remix by YouTuber djsteveporter. I love the lady at the end, and the cut scenes of the breakdancing. Is that from Beat Street or Breakin’, can someone tell me? Thanks to Andy Goldblatt for sharing this one.
YouTube user UGKisBack is a frequent attendee to Black Nerd LIVE, so he asked me to collaborate with him on a parody video. Anything for a fan. So here’s “We’ll Make a Video” with a cameo appearance from Black Nerd. I show up twice near the end, including (my favorite) my impression of Bill O’Reilly’s infamous “WE’LL DO IT LIVE!” bit. Ha ha, oh Bill, you’re so funny, and you don’t even know it.
I found some more Buy Mii a Wii “video remixes.” This first one is one of my new favorites. YouTuber Zezzamo does an acoustic guitar version of the song. It’s like how I would sing the song if I was on VH-1 Storytellers. I’ve also found a couple of covers for BMaW (like that?), the video that has over 200,000 VIEWS ON YOUTUBE! Check out the covers, after the Super Mario Jump!
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.
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.
You know I like to have fun and joke around, but I got an email recently through YouTube that I found interesting. Usually, I tend to ignore mail criticizing me because it usually comes from a 15-year-old kid who just finds it fun to call everyone “gay” on the Internet. But this one was written in an interesting way that I had to respond. Here is the message:
Man I’m black and you shouldn’t go around insulting are race like you are doing. I’m not telling you to act like a thug and I’m not telling you to quit being a nerd just quit giving the white people excuses to laugh at us. if you are going to be a nerd than be on and be proud of it just don’t be a “black nerd” because it makes it seem like all blacks are not smart and we are and it makes us seem ignorant which most whites already think we are.
While I felt this person completely misunderstood where I was coming from in my black nerdiness, I couldn’t help but to walk in his shoes a little bit and see why he may have felt this way. Here’s my response…
The Black Nerd is definitely feeling the viral video love. Just shortly after meeting with Revver and starting a live show on LiveVideo, now the juggernaut of video websites has partnered up with Black Nerd Comedy.
As of this week, I am officially part of the YouTube Partner Program. This is a special honor only for independent video creators chosen and approved by YouTube. Now hopefully you’ll see my nerdy mug plastered more all over the website.
This places me in the special high ranks of viral video greats like HappySlip, Tay Zonday, Lonelygirl15, LisaNova, Smosh, and even Ashley Tisdale! I feel so special to have VIP membership to this little club. Thank you, YouTube, for appreciating my work and to the viral video community as a whole for supporting a Black Nerd.
