Heh. I had a little brain fart the other day. Brownlee stars in a new short and I knew it was familiar…that’s because it was one of his sketchwar entries from last summer. Click here to read “The Loan’s the Thing” and watch below.

Peter’s Commentary on the ‘Resolutions’ Edition
Finally catching up on my Friday Sketch War commentary. This past week, the FSW deadline fell on January second, so we went with the holiday-appropriate theme of “resolutions”. This time we had only two entries (*sniff*): this one from me and this one from Mr. Porter.[1] Alas, all the talk from local sketch-comedy types about…

Peter’s Commentary on the ‘Christmas Presents’ Edition
Still a bit behind in writing commentary on the Friday Sketch War. I thought I’d deliver a few words about the “Christmas Presents” round. We’d talked about maybe skipping the 12/26 week of sketchwar, on account of everybody’d be busy with the holidays. But a couple of us believed strongly in the “it’s easier to…

Peter’s Commentary on the ‘3:34am’ Edition
Hello — looks like I’ve fallen a bit behind in writing commentary on the Friday Sketch War. On December 19th, we all handed in sketches based on the theme “3:34am”. I had suggested “Santa”, “The Recording Studio”, and “3:34am” to Mr. Porter, and he opted for the weird one.[1] We had three sketches that week.…

Friday Night Sketch Skirmish: Christmas Presents Edition
Coyote is indisposed for another week, but he reports back that Turkish prisons are surprisingly easy to escape from and that Mediterranean yachts are surprisingly easy to commandeer, so he’ll be back for wrapups next week. This time around: sure it was Christmas, sure we were all busy, but the Sketch War train stops for…
