Hey Everyone!
Has it been two weeks already!? Wow. Where does the time go? I’m sure some of your sides are only just now recovering from the gut-busting laughs of “JOLCat” which was a surprisingly huge hit for us. It got major views and features on YouTube, Yahoo! Video, AND Metacafe! Since we’re no novices when it comes to making internet videos, for the follow up to our piece about cats we figured we’d go with the only thing the internet loves more than cuddly felines, that’s right… MOSTLY NAKED GIRLS!
On the anniversary of the now classic “Full Throttle Douche Bottle” enter our latest release “Homemade Pornography,” the story of a couple quarreling about the merits of taking naked pictures of the girl…you know, for a rainy day. We couldn’t do this sketch without some serious help so we called upon our good friends Lauren McLaughlin and Joel Smiedendorf. Joel has been a friend of ours since college and he got us in touch with Lauren who we hadn’t worked with before, but when you’re an extra in an episode of “Arrested Development” I don’t need any more credentials than that. Both of our new actors were completely awesome and Lauren was a great sport during the shoot. With our ever-expanding roster of female talent we’re getting closer and closer to producing a sketch I wrote 3 years ago called “Tickle Fight!” Just kidding… or am I?
Anyway, I hope you enjoy “Homemade Pornography,” I think you’ll find its message both important and universal. Please lobby any and all major websites to feature it.
As always you can watch it on YouTube, our website OR wherever fine comedy videos are shown.
We’ll see you in a few weeks with some more comedy magic!
Your sexy friends,
(:|)

Hey Cats and Kittens,
By the time you’ve read this sentence, our latest sketch “JOLCat” will have upward of 15,000 views on YouTube… and you haven’t even seen it yet. See, we here at ThesePeople have a pretty standard release schedule, when we feel a sketch is strong enough to fly out of the nest we sneak it out on the world Monday evening to kind of get a test run with any hardcore fans/subscribers, then Tuesday while I’m at work I do all the necessary blogging/bulletining/promoting, like what you’re reading right now. However, last night the folks at YouTube decided to tell the world about “JOLCat” for us. Without even any prompting from us YouTube took “JOLCat” (just like they did with “Stick It In Burger”) and put it in their comedy spotlight, which meant I woke up to a LARGE number of views and comments from people calling us “gay.” Oh it’s good to be back.
“JOLCat” is one of the weirdest things we’ve done in a while, so I can see where not every YouTube user might get it, but as a troupe we’re really happy with where we ended up with the level of weirdness/comedy and we think it really reflects the sketch comedy troupes that inspired us.
If you haven’t guessed by now, “JOLCat” is about beloved ThesePeople member Joel switching bodies with my cat Scoop. If you love cats and you love Joel this is the sketch for you!
Let’s just hope that the YouTube people are watching when we drop our next sketch “Homemade Porno.” That’s not a joke, that’s really the next thing. Stay tuned.
And now I encourage you all to check out “JOLCat” for yourself. Please leave us some comment on YouTube to show those haters who you love, and more importantly, who loves you.
YouTube Comments Welcome
Stay awesome,
MaTT

You just won the Super Lucky Sweepstakes!!
How’s everybody been? Good? Good. We here at ThesePeople are proud to announce our latest sketch “Super Lucky Sweepstakes” starring ThesePeople’s own Nick Capul (doing his best Daniel Plainview impression)as a contest winner with a penchant for overspending.
While our tireless editor Steve has been cranking away on this sketch we’ve shot THREE more all new ThesePeople sketches that will have you laughing all summer long!
In case you didn’t hear our PREVIOUS SKETCH “Stick-It-In-Burger” was showered with love from YouTube and featured in the “COMEDY SPOTLIGHT.” It was a wild ride and we’d like to thank all of our fans new and old for showing “Stick-It-In-Burger” so much love as we had put a TON of time, love and salt into it.
Hopefully you’ll love “Super Lucky Sweepstakes” just as much… let’s watch it, shall we?
