Here's the first part of the season finale. I just finished logging the length of every sketch in the six episode first season, and I'll be throwing together a Frankenstein clip show to serve as a type of pilot that I'll try to get represented and parlay into some sort of comedy writing job. I can't believe I started doing this show all the hell back in October. It legitimately blows my mind how fucking long it takes to to write and produce 22 minutes of comedy, especially since every episode has at least a few minutes of old material repackaged for the show.
It's funny that I wrote a sketch where I pretend to be friends with a horribly Photoshopped black guy, the joke being that I've never seen a black person before, when the black guys I used to work with at the restaurant have asked me a few times if they could do something for the show. I'm sure I'll include them eventually, but this is a good example of life doing the exact opposite of imitating art.
As for the cartoon, I think it's funny, but damn if it isn't incredibly easy to come up with those jokes. While running teleprompter for the morning news at work, I wrote down jokes for the cartoons during commercial breaks, and by the end of the show I had a list that was about 30 items long. I had to drastically cut them back just because I could pretty easily fill an entire half hour with that shit.
