Aspen - Day 2

Thursday, March 1st, 2007

Good evening, all you industry movers and shakers.
One of the biggest surprises to me so far about Aspen is how many non-comedians there are here.  I assumed HBO would take over the entire town, but there are still plenty of skiers who have no idea the festival is even happening.  Tonight, on my way home [...]

Aspen - Day 1

Wednesday, February 28th, 2007

Hey, you guys.
We arrived in Aspen tonight.  The air is so thin up here I’m getting dizzy just typing.  We’re performing our twenty minute set on Thursday and Friday afternoon as part of an internet-themed show called Broadband Theater, featuring JibJab and Jonathan Coulton, and Caleb signed us all up for a snowboarding race on [...]

OE Interview in The Apiary

Sunday, November 19th, 2006

For those too lazy to click a link, below is our Apiary interview, written by the hilarious Elaina Fejes. Enjoy!

Things are looking good when your videos run right off the web. For the past four years, Olde English has been developing a flourishing online fanbase with their vids, but one of their latest creations, “One [...]

Olde English on Good Morning America!

Tuesday, October 31st, 2006

Tomorrow morning, our “One Picture Every Day” video will be featured on Good Morning America! First Germany, then Japan, and now America! We’re finally the international sell-outs we’ve always dreamed of being.
In celebration of our major network debut, I thought I’d share some photos Asif took of the shoot.
Many of the 5000 comments on our [...]

Assorted Ephemera

Monday, August 28th, 2006

Last week I had the brilliant idea to post the Final Cut timeline for Pizza Delivery, but, as seen below, Ben beat me to it. Suffice it to say that Ben’s pain holds nary a candle to mine, and every complaint that passes his lips sounds like the singing of schoolboys on Christmas when compared [...]

My least favorite part of the production process

Friday, August 25th, 2006

Another great behind-the-scenes video.

Tuesday, August 15th, 2006

I don’t know how many of you know this, but Raizin is amazing at making montages. A lot of people ask us which sketches are our favorites to watch, and one of my favorites–if you can even call it a sketch–is Rachel’s Birthday Video, simply because Raizin did a fantastic job of boiling down half [...]

I know you like me.

Good evening, punks and skunks.
So, I don’t know if you all remember the classic sketch Don’t You Wish, from, oh, about five days ago, but you may be surprised to learn that the video was based not, as rumored, on a popular song by the Pussycat Dolls, but on a live sketch we performed in [...]

Mondays are the new Mondays.

Monday, July 31st, 2006

Hello, friends and friends of friends.
My goodness, we’ve been making so many wonderful sketches in the last month, I forgot all about our last live show, Olde English: Rules! Well, we’re currently putting together some reels to send out to festivals and colleges (if you know of a venue you’d like Olde English to [...]

And speaking of the Virgin Suicides…

Monday, July 17th, 2006

Hey, bros and shmoes.
You might not believe it, but we actually put a lot of work into our sketches, trying out different things and tweaking scenes in editing to get the desired effect. A stray music cue can completely derail a sketch and sometimes a sly cutaway turns trash into something-slightly-better-than-trash.
I submit for your [...]
