								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tonight is the premiere of <a href="http://www.syfy.com/viralvideoshowdown" target="_blank">Viral Video Showdown on SyFy</a>, something we were a part of earlier this summer. In July These People from across the land gathered in NYC with 4 days and $5000 to face off against some schmoes in LA with the goal of making the viral-est, video-est YouTube clip ever. Or something. A television crew followed our exploits. Things got weird.</p>
<p>In August we all flew to LA to stand before the judges and found out just who&#8217;s cool cine reigned supreme-y.</p>
<p>Now, our episode airs NEXT week (you WILL be reminded again) but we should all probably watch tonight&#8217;s ep together to what the other teams had to contend with.</p>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello Friends!</p>
<p>How&#8217;s everything? Did you miss us? We missed you. A lot. You never write anymore! Oh that&#8217;s because we took the address off the site, well that is for the best, we couldn&#8217;t keep up with the volume of fan mail, but that doesn&#8217;t mean we love you any less.</p>
<p>Anyway, we know it&#8217;s OCTOBER, but today&#8217;s new sketch ISN&#8217;T part of our annual Shocktobersketch Horror/Comedy festival. In fact, the only thing scary about THIS sketch is how GOOD IT LOOKS! That&#8217;s right! Welcome to the dawning of a new era, THESEPEOPLE HD! </p>
<p>Our first offering is a little something we call, &#8220;What is this Line For?&#8221; it&#8217;s part sketch, part song, and all funny. Written, produced and shot by the ThesePeople NYC crew (Matt, Wheeler, and Mike) and featuring a literal cast of thousands we very much hope you enjoy and then change your ringtone to the &#8220;What is this Line For?&#8221; song. </p>
<p><iframe width="399" height="203" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/zJ8Xc16HqkM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>We&#8217;ve got some more shiny HD stuff shot and we&#8217;re developing some scary funny stuff for this Halloween, our goal is to have it out by Thanksgiving.</p>
<p>Enjoy the vids and post on our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/thesepeoplecomedy">facebook wall!</a></p>
<p>That always feels so good,<br />

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey Everyone,</p>
<p>Weâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />re back! New material!

So we were a little busy.</p>
<p>Anyway, todayâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s offering is a star studded Internet crossover to end all Internet crossovers. It stars myself (Matt) along with Six Finger Fistâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s Dwayne Bartholomew and Sean Cameron of the upcoming Mort and Friends. Both of these blokes are no strangers to ThesePeopleâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s Internets as you can see Dwayne in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSZA5KWkhx0">â€œProfessor Palsâ€</a> and the cult hit <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=194o_F5OA_I">â€œHot Dogs Anytimeâ€</a> while Sean chews the scenery in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8OC8ZhWOjM">â€œThe Englishmanâ€</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8oosfaSqtE">â€œGhostelâ€</a>. </p>
<p>This sketch was once again shot in a fancy hotel out on the Left Coast and was shot and masterfully edited by our good friend Joel Slabaugh. </p>
<p>Should I tell you what it is now? Probably. I wanted to give you all the back story first so you know all the people who donated their valuable time and talents and that way you donâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />t just see the title and then go watch the sketchâ€¦oh rightâ€¦THE SKETCH! Itâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s called â€œThe Lame-Overâ€ and itâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s a parody of the popular film â€œThe Hangoverâ€ except these three guys had a very different kind of night.</p>
<p><iframe width="400" height="325" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gxlKdTK7Als" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>We hope you enjoy the sketch! I think this will be our summer blockbuster and shatter all previous opening week numbers for a movie parody sketch.</p>
<p>Weâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />ll see you again real soon!<br />

(Youâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />ll meet some of them in this sketch.)

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey All!</p>
<p>Itâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s Matt live from my sexy leather couch in my cozy Brooklyn Apartment. How are you guys? Ready to laugh? You guys are still into laughing, right? GOOD.</p>
<p>Hereâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s another gem from ThesePeople starring Jeff and Pretty Doctor Tim, Pediatric Gynecologist.</p>
<p>Itâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s called â€œFoods That Arenâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />t Meatâ€ and to tell you anymore would be to ruin it. I can tell you it was originally conceived in Los Angeles with our dear friend (and star of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=3KHinmwB78Q" target="_blank">Sex Addict</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=1dS4PaObSV0" target="_blank">Buddy Escorts</a>) Ryan Mason, but we didnâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />t get a chance to shoot it out there. </p>
<p>THEN we were supposed to shoot it in Detroit in Timâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s apartment, but I forgot a very important prop on our shoot day. So we went all over Detroit trying to find a replacement, but as it turns out there are no operational stores in Detroit so that hindered our process. We ended up just shooting it back at my place in my basement. Great story, right? Youâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />re welcome. </p>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello Everyone!</p>
<p>How are you? I know before Iâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />ve said â€œitâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s been a whileâ€ but this time really â€œITâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />S BEEN A WHILE.â€ Youâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />ve probably been wondering where your beloved ThesePeople are. Make no mistake, we are still here, just where â€œhereâ€ is has become a little different as I (Matt) have recently moved to New York City. So that puts me in NYC, Joel and Steve in Chicago and Jeff, Tim, Nick and Aaron back in Detroit. Weâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />re not breaking up, weâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />re expanding.</p>
<p>But because I have been moving, settling into a new job and drinking a lot there has not been a ton of time to make new stuff, HOWEVER before I left we shot quite a few funny shorts that we will be sharing over the next month or two while I start shooting a bunch of new stuff that all takes place in Times Square.</p>
<p>The first of those shorts? Todayâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s offering <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eugT2wydCz0">â€œWhatâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s that Noise?â€</a> Itâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s only a minute long so I wonâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />t bother describing it, but I will say if youâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />re a fan of our redheaded actress Kim â€œKatâ€ Cooper, sheâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s in it.  And for Kat Cooper SUPERFANS listen to her radio talk show â€œLansing Nextâ€ at <a href="http://talklansing.net/" target="_blank">http://talklansing.net/</a></p>
<p>â€œWhatâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s that Noise?â€ is also our 100th YouTube upload! HOORAY!!! However it is not technically our 100th sketch as other YouTube uploads include vlogs and â€œQuickiesâ€ that arenâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />t full fledged sketches like â€œKITEâ€ or â€œThereâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s a Monster in my Subletâ€ or the 92 other sketches we have done.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone for sticking with us during our little hiatus, weâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />ll be better about getting new sketches to you more regularly especially now that our editor is done getting engaged (CONGRATS STEVE AND ELIZABETH) and can now get back to what really matters.</p>
<p>So stay tuned, look for lots of fun shorts followed by all new sketches with new faces shot in new places.</p>
<p>And if any of our fans live in the Big Apple please say â€˜Hiâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> to me on the Subway. Iâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />ll be the guy with headphones in and sunglasses on.</p>
<p>Stay awesome,<br />

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey Guys and Gals,</p>
<p>How is it going? Iâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />m doing great, because LOST is on tonight, and I saw Kick-Ass the other day and it was awesome. And thus ends this edition of ThesePeopleâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s pop culture reviewâ€¦.or does it?</p>
<p>We hope you enjoyed the debut of our â€œQUICKIESâ€ last week with â€œUp Your Buttâ€. You can look forward to (or I guess dread) a lot of quick, fun sketches like that in the future. Weâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />re all about getting content in your face at all times.</p>
<p>Today however, we bring you a full-fledged new sketch. Weâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />re very excited about this one and think itâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />ll find a nice little home in the current Internet social networking trend, and NO, itâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s not about Chatroulette. (surprisingly). This is a little ditty we call â€œWhoresquareâ€ which pretty much does exactly what the increasingly popular app â€œFoursquareâ€ does except&#8230; sexier. </p>
<p><object width="320" height="240"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aIVYNHcEEEA&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aIVYNHcEEEA&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="240"></embed></object></p>
<p>This sketch was shot in Hollywood, California with the help of the ThesePeople West Cost team Joel Slabaugh, and Ryan Mason. PLUS it features an appearance from Lauren, star of the 15th most watched comedy video of ALL TIME on YouTube, â€œ<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqwElUKXWJ0">Homemade Porn</a>â€ and the more respectable, but less watched â€œKilling Buttonâ€. Yes, you get ALL that, PLUS original music from the great Matt Raetzel. </p>
<p>Hope you guys dig this one! With your help we can go big! So digg it, Facebook it, Friendster it, hell, check into it on Foursquare.</p>
<p>And as always, keep the pin requests coming! If you havenâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />t gotten your pin yet, hold tight theyâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />re on their way! Also, while youâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />re here pick up some great ThesePeople stuff like DVDs or T-shirts.

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is up Campers!?</p>
<p>Welcome to Mid-March. The great dull stretch of time before baseball, good weather or anything cool.</p>
<p>Well, we thought weâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />d do something to help pass the time. Release a sketch. This is a little number called â€œHoodward Bound: The Incredible Journey (based on the novel â€˜PUSHâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> by Sapphire.â€) and weâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />re quite proud of it. In fact, ThesePeopleâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s Tim says â€œThis could be my new favorite sketch of all time.â€ And heâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s not even in it.</p>
<p>â€˜Hoodward Bound: The Incredible Journeyâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> tells the heartwarming and at times terrifying tale of a poor hoodie that gets forgotten in the back seat of a car and must make his way home to his owner.</p>
<p>Some people may notice a strong similarity between the name and plotline of this sketch and the name and plotline of the 1993 family film â€œHomeward Bound: The Incredible Journeyâ€. Let me assure you, that is purely a coincidence. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other.</p>
<p>Check out our latest here, or on our YouTube page. And hey, feel free to subscribe on YouTube if youâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />re not already, tell your friends!</p>
<p>In addition to this new sketch weâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />ve been hard at work on some other new material, including a new breed of ThesePeople â€œQuickiesâ€. Weâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />ve stock piled of a few super short comedy masterpieces in hopes of preventing longer wait periods between sketches. This way you guys get MORE comedy, in more consistent doses. And that will leave us ALL smiling.</p>

<p>Oh and one little quick note on the aforementioned â€œHomemade Pornâ€, it is now the 20th most viewed comedy video of ALL TIME on YouTube, and has over 27,000,000 views.

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy New Year Everybody!</p>
<p>As the year winds down so does another thrilling and, at times, hilarious ThesePeople season of comedy. </p>
<p>We leave you with a just (barely) in time for New Year&#8217;s Sketch &#8220;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbS7w3fYTXI">Midnight Kiss</a>&#8221; starring our good friend and founding member Kim &#8220;Kat&#8221; Cooper. </p>
<p>This year brought a lot of firsts for ThesePeople including <a href="http://www.thesepeoplecomedy.com/blog/dvd/">our first DVD</a> (on sale on the site now) and our first ever STAGE performance. Not only that, we cranked out 19 more sketches for you to enjoy. </p>
<p>We are looking forward to trying some new things and finally getting around to a pile of scripts we&#8217;ve got stored up in 2K10 (spoiler alert some scripts are CAT related) so we hope you&#8217;ll stay tuned for more of our general Internet wackiness.</p>
<p>As people sometimes do at the end of a year (or season) we like to look back at the year that has passed and call out our favorite ThesePeople moments. Rather than make a hokey list, we&#8217;ll just call out every member&#8217;s favorite sketch (luckily there weren&#8217;t a lot of repeats)</p>
<p>Matt: <a href="http://www.thesepeoplecomedy.com/sketches.php?keyword=banned%20vault&#038;m=hairyguyz">Hairy Guyz</a><br />
Jeff: <a href="http://www.thesepeoplecomedy.com/sketches.php?keyword=banned%20vault&#038;m=catpsa">Help Keep Cat off the Streets</a><br />
Joel: <a href="http://www.thesepeoplecomedy.com/sketches.php?keyword=banned%20vault&#038;m=ghfg">Guitar Hero for Girls</a><br />
Nick: <a href="http://www.thesepeoplecomedy.com/sketches.php?keyword=banned%20vault&#038;m=mindblowers">Mindblowers</a><br />
Tim: <a href="http://www.thesepeoplecomedy.com/sketches.php?keyword=banned%20vault&#038;m=magicians">Matthew and Timothy: Amazing Magicians</a><br />
Steve: Mindblowers (I guess 2 votes makes &#8220;Mindblowers&#8221; #1)</p>
<p>So there you have it kids! Go out there for New Year&#8217;s, get drunk, be safe, kiss some one, and then blog about it.</p>
<p>See you in the next Decade my loves,</p>
<p>MaTT and ThesePeople</p>

Howâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s it going?</p>
<p>Matt here to share with you the latest ThesePeople creation shot earlier this year in LOVELY Los Angeles in 109 degree weather. This is a sketch weâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />ve been excited about for a while, but had to wait to get SHOCKTOBERSKETCH IV to be done and buried before its release.</p>
<p>This sketch features our good friend and fellow creator of comedy <a href="http://twitter.com/hambuggalla">Dwayne Bartholomew</a> who devotees may remember from â€œ<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSZA5KWkhx0">Professor Pals</a>.â€ This time we took the cameras to his turf and made a little piece of funny we call â€œHot Dogs, Anytime.â€ Once again inspired by a true story&#8230; sort of (thanks Ciara). And for â€œHot Dogsâ€ we have to throw a huge thanks out to our once again guest editor/special effects guru Joel Slabaugh.</p>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happyâ€¦Late Halloween or Early Thanksgiving!</p>
<p>Close enough, right?</p>
<p>Hope you guys had a great Halloween, we didnâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />t seem to get any pictures of people dressing up as ThesePeople characters! What gives? No one went as â€œHomemade Porn girlâ€? All you need are shorts and a bra. Iâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />m sure some one did, and maybe didnâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />t even realize it.</p>
<p>Actually speaking of Homemade Porn girl&#8230; guess who is in our latest sketch. If you guessed Nick! Well&#8230; youâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />re right, but what I was setting up here is that the star of Homemade Porn herself, Lauren is BACK for her third ThesePeople appearance.</p>
<p>Today she stars in â€œ<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_fhtUDNDTg">Romance is Undead</a>.â€ A sketch intended to come out a few weeks back to be Halloween topical, but instead is being released now to keep the Halloween spirit alive a bit longer. This sketch needed a lot of people to help out so I have to give a tremendous shout out once again to Aaron Moring for lending his skills to the audio side of things and a super big thanks to my own brother Paul Cassatta for strutting his editing stuff for the first time on a ThesePeople sketch while Steve was away on business. Great work all around!</p>
<p>â€œRomance is Undeadâ€ tells the story of the strange bedfellows zombie invasions tend to make.<br />
<object width="400" height="300"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/n_fhtUDNDTg&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/n_fhtUDNDTg&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="300"></embed></object></p>
<p>This puts a close to our elongated and very successful <a href="http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A54B3CC27D733F13">SHOCKTOBERSKETCH IV</a>, we hope you enjoyed it! And encourage you to go check out â€œMindblowers,â€ and â€œBurn Barnâ€ if youâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />ve not seen them yet or if you want to laugh again.</p>
<p>Lots more fun coming up as the year winds down. So please stay tuned!</p>
<p>And keep those ThesePeople Button Requests coming! Weâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />re going to do a mass mailing soon. </p>
<p>You guys are my favorites and Iâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />m not just saying that,<br />

<p>Halloween is drawing ever closer, and so is another terrifyingly funny sketch from ThesePeople. Enter <strong>Shocktobersketch IV</strong> sketch number two, â€œThe Burn Barn!â€ The burn barn is a rickety old barn haunted by the spirit of The Burnmaster! A plucky group of teens try to take him on only to find themselves&#8230; BURNED.</p>
<p>Check it out here!<br />
<object width="400" height="300"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qmS-84t1NsE&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qmS-84t1NsE&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="300"></embed></object></p>
<p>This sketch should be a hit amongst the ThesePeople faithful as it stars original members (rarely seen these days) Aaron and Joel. As well as top notch performances from our friends Nick H. (not Asian Nick), Andrea and Rachel. And HUGE props have to be thrown out to my boys Paul â€œ<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejPdR5r-CFk">Lester Stickens</a>â€ Painter (who is also our voice over on several ThesePeople hits) and Eric for a sweet cut and some amazing special effects, brought together with some wonderful sound design from Aaron (not actor Aaron, sound design Aaron.)</p>
<p>And good news kids! Shocktober is going to become Shock-vember as we have one more sketch that ran into some production snags and therefore will be released a little later than planned, but itâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />ll be worth that wait because itâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />ll have zombies.

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey Boos and Ghouls!!! (that was supposed to be â€œboys and girlsâ€ did you get it?)</p>
<p>Happy Halloween!!!</p>
<p>We are halfway through October and our Halloween excitement is at fever pitch! Today Iâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />m taking a quick time out from choosing between being Billy Mays or David Carradine for Halloween to share with you all the FIRST of our Shocktobersketches, a scary little number we call â€œMindblowers.â€ </p>
<p>An evil terror is on the loose blowing minds and only one rookie renegade cop can bring him to justice&#8230; or can he?</p>
<p>You can check it out on BooTube, or right here on our homepage.<br />
<object width="400" height="300"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nYbx5FXHdtg&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nYbx5FXHdtg&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="300"></embed></object></p>
<p>This is our first entry in our FOURTH year of Shocktobersketches, we have two more to come before October is out, and weâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />re very excited for all of them. </p>
<p>Todayâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s sketch â€œMindblowersâ€ is full of surprises, including one very big one in particular. Long time ThesePeople fans will notice the triumphant return of our good friend and original ThesePeople member, Aaron. â€œMindblowersâ€ also features our good friends Ciara, Rachel and a mindblowing cameo from our perennial corpse actress Birgit. </p>
<p>Speaking of Shocktobersketches, weâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />ve been getting a lot of emails and texts lately about Richard Kelly ripping off last yearâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s runaway hit, â€œ<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Diz9dj1R1k">The Killing Button</a>â€ in his new movie â€œ<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVK-hVGqCpo" rel="nofollow">The Box</a>.â€ And yes, <strong>he absolutely did</strong>, tell your friends. (Some lines from the trailer are a DIRECT lift.) But in fairness we ripped off the sketch from a 1980s Twilight Zone episode that ripped it off from an old ghost story. Although I have no idea how theyâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />re going to stretch what we did in 5 minutes into an hour and a half, Iâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />m probably going to see it anyway out of curiosity. </p>
<p>See you guys next week for Shocktobersketch Part 2 featuring the star of â€œHomemade Pornâ€ and â€œKilling Button,â€ Lauren AND some Zombies! You wonâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />t want to miss that!</p>
<p>Happy Hauntings,<br />

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey Strangers,<br />
Itâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s your good pals ThesePeople here with some exciting new news! Weâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />ve got a new sketch! Itâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s been a long time in the works, but we finally have our latest and greatest for you, â€œTwenty-Something Normal Turtle.â€</p>
<p>Featuring an amazing song recorded by our good friend Matt Raetzel, and featuring the vocal stylings of â€œThesePeople.â€ TSNT tells the story of the 5th lesser known and under-appreciated mutated turtle from the mid-80s whose life without Master Splinterâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s guidance turned out less than splendid.</p>
<p>This sketch is a big deal for us (mostly because it justified us buying a full body turtle costume) because itâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s been a bit since our last sketch and this sketch was truly a team effort that weâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />re VERY proud of.</p>
<p>More good news is that this is sketch 1 of 4 all-new sketches we are in post production on and weâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />ve only got ONE more Shocktobersketch to shoot for this yearâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s amazing 3 sketch series featuring our favorite type of comedy&#8230; HORROR comedy. So if youâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />ve been hungry for some new material, we are going to bombard you with stuff over the next month and a half.</p>
<p>And donâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />t forget to keep those pins request coming, weâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />re going to spend a whole ThesePeople meeting answering fan mail soon. </p>
<p>Our next release will kick off Shocktobersketch IV, as we all get ready for the Halloween season, but for now, please to enjoy â€œTwenty-Something Normal Turtleâ€ right here on our site or on our beloved YouTube page.  </p>

<p>Tell your friends.</p>
<p>Stay awesome, and good luck picking out a Halloween costume! If anyone out there is a ThesePeople character for Halloween send us a picture and weâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />ll send YOU a ThesePeople prize pack. â€œSlutty versionsâ€ of ThesePeople characters get the deluxe prize pack.</p>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What&#8217;s up Magicfans?</p>
<p>How is everyone? Can I get you anything? No? Perhaps a ThesePeople pin that I still haven&#8217;t sent? I&#8217;m on it. Believe me.</p>
<p>But I&#8217;ve got better news than even getting TWO pins in the mail, it&#8217;s A NEW SKETCH!</p>
<p>TA-DAA!</p>
<p>And &#8220;Ta-daa&#8221; is right as this sketch highlights to world of magicians for hire, it&#8217;s &#8220;Matthew and Timothy: Amazing Magicians.&#8221;</p>
<p>This sketch was a true collaborative effort featuring all sorts of ThesePeople regulars and most of my nieces and nephews. We even got our editor Steve on camera in this one, as well as his girlfriend Elizabeth (the winner of the live show raffle prize a &#8220;Walk on Role n a ThesePeople sketch&#8221;)! Don&#8217;t blink or you&#8217;ll miss them both.</p>
<p>Be amazed here:<br />
<object width="400" height="300"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9j7FNyMBnZc&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9j7FNyMBnZc&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="300"></embed></object></p>
<p>Things have been insane with ThesePeople lately, we&#8217;ve been writing and shooting as fast as our schedules allow us to (which sadly isn&#8217;t as much as we&#8217;d like), and we&#8217;re buckling down for SHOCKTOBERSKETCH 4! Our latest Shocktobersketch to date! So I hope you like horror-comedy because it&#8217;s gonna be flying at your face soon!</p>
<p>One last thing, if you&#8217;re at work or school wishing you had music to listen to Tuesday afternoons from 2-4 you can listen to ThesePeople&#8217;s own JEFF @ <a href="http://whfr.fm/" target="_blank">http://whfr.fm/</a> It&#8217;s really good music. I promise.</p>
<p>In the meantime we hope you enjoy &#8220;Matthew and Timothy: Amazing Magicians.&#8221; </p>
<p>Stay tuned for our next sketch in the coming weeks, it&#8217;s gonna be totally tubular!</p>
<p>Stay cool,<br />

<p>For anyone out there who has requested pins, we are ON TOP OF IT, and by â€œon top of itâ€ I mean, â€œreally running behindâ€ BUT we will get them to you. It is always our concern that as many people out there as possible be explaining to people what the totally awesome pin on their backpack means. Thanks for your patience!</p>
<p>In other ThesePeople news, we have recently finished shooting TWO new shorts that we think will make your next few weeks a lot funnier. Also, the most perfectly named and marketed sketch EVER â€œHomemade Pornâ€ continues itâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />s reign of awesomeness, it has broken the 14 MILLION view mark and is now the 73rd MOST WATCHED Comedy video on YouTube of ALL TIME! Not too shabby for some kids from the D.</p>
<p>Well until next time my summer loves, enjoy the â€œSelf-Deprecating Bacheloretteâ€ and keep your eyes peeled for the sequel, the â€œSelf-Defecating Bachelorette.â€</p>
