I wrote half a story tonight, but ended up spending most of my time on YouTube hitting the "refresh" button. The good folks at CollegeHumor linked the DERRICK video Bro Rape, which naturally sent a retarded amount of views our way. I tried to see who was watching the video, who stuck around to watch OTHER videos, but mostly I just sat slack-jawed at the incredible amount of people watching a thing we did in Donald and Dominic's rooms the other weekend.
It's funny, actors and writers used to sit in Sardi's all night waiting for the early reviews to come in. Now they sit in their underpants in their dorm rooms hitting REFRESH REFRESH REFRESH and following referral logs to see if kids on message boards are doing bits from their comedy video in their posts. (They are!) It's a brave new world of people killing time, kids.
PS, the second bro in the bro-sting portion of the video is Bobby Moynihan. He is an insanely gifted dude who will take your script and make it 90 times funnier and more human than you ever thought it could be and if you're in the city you should go see his improv group The Stepfathers on Friday nights at UCB. They bring serious pain.
