MM: Red Ribbon Edition

Derek Hauk posted an article on - Dec 9, 2010, 11:15 am
Hey folks, I’m crawling out of my cave (the next season of MVT3K will be coming soon, I promise) to do some specials for Red Ribbon Month. This one is a Misappropriated Music that posits something that may have not been noticed yet: a new positive-minded hit single by a usually reprehensible pop s...

Best of Year 1: Single Ladies

AND AT NUMBER ONE: The most views of any episode we did all year, this is Beyonce ‘Single Ladies.’ It marked the first time we tried to use the video screen for something (later realizing it was easier to just turn it blue and chroma key it but live and learn) and our first wrestling jok...

Best of Year 1: Life on Mars?

Derek Hauk posted an article on - Sep 30, 2010, 1:13 am
AT NUMBER 3- This video gets a nod because it is the most successful of the episodes that had to make a lot from very little. Videos without a lot of action or set pieces are the hardest to write jokes for, but this episode we found a way around it. And it was also the first episode where we tried t...

Best of Year 1: Kalluri Vaanil

Derek Hauk posted an article on - Sep 27, 2010, 8:08 pm
NUMBAH 2! This is the internet classic known as ‘Benny Lava’, and it has some of my favorite writing, plus it was the first time we had other reviewers come on for cameo spots! WARNING: this is from the era before we went clean, so there’s some crude language.
