These People

Hello Friends!

How’s everything? Did you miss us? We missed you. A lot. You never write anymore! Oh that’s because we took the address off the site, well that is for the best, we couldn’t’ keep up with the volume of fan mail, but that doesn’t mean we love you any less.

Anyway, we know it’s OCTOBER, but today’s new sketch ISN’T part of our annual Shocktobersketch Horror/Comedy festival. In fact, the only thing scary about THIS sketch is how GOOD IT LOOKS! That’s right! Welcome to the dawning of a new era, THESEPEOPLE HD!

Our first offering is a little something we call, “What is this Line For?” it’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 “What is this Line For?” song.

We’ve got some more shiney HD stuff shot and we’re developing some scary funny stuff for this Halloween, our goal is to have it out by Thanksgiving.

Enjoy the vids and post on our facebook wall!

That always feels so good,
MaTT

Hey All!

It’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.

Here’s another gem from ThesePeople starring Jeff and Pretty Doctor Tim, Pediatric Gynecologist.

It’s called “Foods That Aren’t Meat” 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 Sex Addict and Buddy Escorts) Ryan Mason, but we didn’t get a chance to shoot it out there.

THEN we were supposed to shoot it in Detroit in Tim’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? You’re welcome.

Back at the ThesePeople ranch we’re trying to rustle up some exciting Halloween offerings for you, as we love to do this time of year. We’re thinking “The Human Millipede”… you guys into that? Good.

Hope you guys are enjoying fall, fantasy football, and collecting a lot of syllabi. Enjoy the new sketch! More coming soon!

Miss u,
MaTT and ThesePeople

Hello Everyone!

How are you? I know before I’ve said “it’s been a while” but this time really “IT’S BEEN A WHILE.” You’ve probably been wondering where your beloved ThesePeople are. Make no mistake, we are still here, just where “here” 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. We’re not breaking up, we’re expanding.

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.

The first of those shorts? Today’s offering “What’s that Noise?” It’s only a minute long so I won’t bother describing it, but I will say if you’re a fan of our redheaded actress Kim “Kat” Cooper, she’s in it. And for Kat Cooper SUPERFANS listen to her radio talk show “Lansing Next” at http://talklansing.net/

“What’s that Noise?” is also our 100th YouTube upload! HOORAY!!! However it is not technically our 100th sketch as other YouTube uploads include vlogs and “Quickies” that aren’t full fledged sketches like “KITE” or “There’s a Monster in my Sublet” or the 92 other sketches we have done.

Thanks everyone for sticking with us during our little hiatus, we’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.

So stay tuned, look for lots of fun shorts followed by all new sketches with new faces shot in new places.

And if any of our fans live in the Big Apple please say ‘Hi’ to me on the Subway. I’ll be the guy with headphones in and sunglasses on.

Stay awesome,
MaTT and ThesePeople

What is up Everyone!

How are you?

Anyone else as excited as I am that it’s Baseball season?

Go Tigers!

I’m here today because I wanted to drop a quick blog on you all to let you know ThesePeople are adding a new bit of spice to our normal awesome sketches.

INTRODUCING….ThesePeople QUICKIES!

Because we don’t like the gaps that come in between releasing sketches any more than you do we’ve taken to shooting super short sketches whenever a couple of us can get together. This maximizes our time, and your laughter, and everyone wins.

We have a few of these stored up we’ll be dropping on you in the coming months and wanted to start you off with a little number called “Up Your Butt”. The REAL beauty of these quickies is that I don’t have to write plot synopsis. They’re so short, by the time you’re done reading this you could have watched “Up Your Butt” like 6 times. So please do. Watch it again and again and let us know what you think of the NEW Format. And don’t worry we still have plenty of full size sketch fun coming at you.

Luv u lots,
MaTT and ThesePeople

And again GO TIGERS!

What is up Campers!?

Welcome to Mid-March. The great dull stretch of time before baseball, good weather or anything cool.

Well, we thought we’d do something to help pass the time. Release a sketch. This is a little number called “Hoodward Bound: The Incredible Journey (based on the novel ‘PUSH’ by Sapphire.”) and we’re quite proud of it. In fact, ThesePeople’s Tim says “This could be my new favorite sketch of all time.” And he’s not even in it.

‘Hoodward Bound: The Incredible Journey’ 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.

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 “Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey”. Let me assure you, that is purely a coincidence. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other.

Check out our latest here, or on our YouTube page. And hey, feel free to subscribe on YouTube if you’re not already, tell your friends!

In addition to this new sketch we’ve been hard at work on some other new material, including a new breed of ThesePeople “Quickies”. We’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.

Thanks a lot for watching and PLEASE keep those pin requests coming! We’ll be doing a mass mailing soon! And don’t forget to pick up a ThesePeople DVD or T-shirt. They make the perfect Easter gift.

Stay awesome,
MaTT and ThesePeople.
