what. & Make Happy

I had posted this to my other blog in 2013, but have recently shut that blog down due to a lack of posting to it. I have decided to re post this with a new spin on things. Let's see what I think of both of Bo Burnham's comedy shows after having watched them numerous times now.

If you don't know who Bo Burnham is, I'll tell you what I know. Bo is a 26 year old comedian. He had a really funny TV show that unfortunately was cancelled. Which I don't know why, I liked it a lot and would love to see more. I spent an afternoon watching the entire series of Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous. I found it really funny, and a nice change to the typical way comedy is done on television. The show was released on MTV from May-June of 2013, and is recently on mtv.com if you would like to check it out (an can access the American site of MTV).

Bo also has a poetry book out called Egghead Or You Can't Survive On Ideas Alone. It's in stores and on Amazon, you should check it out. I bought it and it is a great book, I have read it way too many times. You'll get little poems like this one, it's called Toast:
"I'd like to propose a toast:
sourdough pumpkin bread.
Thoughts?"

Seriously. Not A Joke.


Tonight was the livestream (and final night) for Seriously. Not A Joke. Since I couldn't make it to the show, I made sure to get a ticket to the livestream. If you are not familiar with the Tin Can Brothers then I will tell you about them...as best I can.

The Tin Can Brothers are Brian Rosenthal, Corey Lubowich & Joey Richter. Three awesome guys that work hard at what they do to make great videos. You can tell that they love what they do, by the passion they put into their videos. They have been making sketch comedy videos once a week on their YouTube channel since February 03, 2014. They made a Kickstarter for an online lemonade stand (which was successful). Yes, I was one of the backers for their Kickstarter, but if you watched the video and have been following the Tin Can Brothers since the beginning then you would have backed them as well. They also now have merchandise available at Ann Arbor Tees. The designs are really cool. I'm sure that when I order mine and where them around my town no one will understand. Though I would be more than happy to spread the word about the Tin Can Brothers around this small town here in Canada.

Anyway, back to the Tin Can Brothers. I can honestly say, out of all the comedy videos I have seen on YouTube theirs are up there with the best. I am not one of those people that sit down and watch every video on all the channels I am subscribed to. Though they are the only channel that I have managed to keep up with and watch every video. If you aren't subscribed I suggest you do that. If you love to laugh then you'll love their videos. Well, I think that's all I know what to say besides constantly telling you how amazing, genuine and hilarious they are. Though if you want to read more about them then you can read what they have as a bio on their YouTube site. Though it is different on their site www.tincanbros.com
"The Tin Can Brothers is a Los Angeles based sketch comedy group formed by Brian Rosenthal, Corey Lubowich, and Joey Richter.
Their father, Lionel Tincan, was born the son of a lowly farm hand in Mississippi, but rose to great heights during America's early industrial period. Instilled with their father's drive for greatness and sensible taste in fashion, the boys moved west at a young age to pursue their own visions of grandeur. Young Joey, the dreamer, Corey, the muscle, and Brian, the engineer, pooled their earnings from a summer carnival kissing booth in order to buy their first digital video camera; something unheard of at the turn of the century. Equipped with unimaginable technology and power the boys could have done anything. But they didn't. In fact, they did absolutely nothing. Now in 2014, with advent of much better technology, these living and breathing anachronisms have decided to dust off the old digital picture box and make some talkies."

Now let's get on with the review about the show, because that's what we're really here for.

Tin Can Brothers


The Tin Can Brothers have been on YouTube since January 27, 2014. At least that's what their channel says, though their first sketch was posted on February 3rd, 2014. The Tin Can Brothers are Joey Richter, Brian Rosenthal & Corey Lubowich, or as it's told on their YouTube page,
"The Tin Can Brothers is a Los Angeles based sketch comedy group formed by Brian Rosenthal, Corey Lubowich, and Joey Richter.
