I kid, I kid....
Hey guys,
Me and a few mates from the bottom of the world here in Wellington, New Zealand, have devised a little idea we lovingly categorise as a "sh*tcom", basically a zero budget, bottom-of-the-barrel-humour, homage to the brilliant trashy 80's & 90's sitcoms such as The Young Ones & Married With Children, and was hoping to get some feedback from an international audience.
And before you wonder what the hell I'm doing posting this in a TMNT forum, those with keen eyes will be able to spot the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade machine that's a permanent fixture in the lounge! The nostalgiac pangs of yester-year always hit me when we fire that bad boy up!!
We've got a youtube channel (under the name "TeamUgly2010" (http://www.youtube.com/user/TeamUgly2010#p/u)), which contains all the episodes of "C's Get Degrees" so far, plus extra bits & pieces we've put out in conjunction with the show.
They're all short & sharp bites of antipodean artistry (5 min max for each), to suit the short attention spans of the Twitterbookflickspace generation of today. So no need to hang around forever waiting for punchlines that may never come.
If you want to have a squiz and let us know what you think (even if it is to tell us that you can't understand what we're saying, or that 10 braindead hamsters could come up with something funnier and better structured) that would be appreciated!!
We've got a facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#%21/pages/Cs-get-Degrees/103491323031453) set up as well for anyone that's crazy enough to want to keep tabs on it that way.
Sorry no twitter or flicker or jitter or mister or mas'a or quepasa or whatever else the kids are doing these days (we were born in the early 80's dammit, we preferred technology in easy to handle 8 or 16 bits).
(Just to give everyone a taste, here are the links to the "teaser" trailers we put out for each of the characters :
- Sebastian - young up and coming metro sexual who loves his iphone, exfoliating and any movies starring Hugh Grant or Sandra Bullock. Sexual orientation = Clearly ambiguous. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqF4jq3eC0Q)
- Cole - likes to think of himself as a good old fashioned red blooded kiwi male, with a mega memory for random sport trivia and an addiction to micronised creatine and protein shakes. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSajWYnd91w)
- Hemi - lost in the middle of a thesis on English gangster culture and now thinks he is a cockney gangster, but in reality is a Maori from Te Kuiti. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzrDJrU5Uks)
- Mike - just your typical pop culture fanboy. Often seen sifting around Armageddon Expos and Comic Con looking for B grade celebrity autographs. Is known to "crack a high" or two mid sentence. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x8LfH_2nn8) )
