We’ve got a brand new short for you guys just in time for the Holiday Season.

If you’ve seen our Halloween Rant on Current, then you’ve got a pretty good idea of what kind of stuff we’ll be talking about.

Check it out above - or watch it on Current TV (check your local listings) through the end of the month!

Hi-ho, friends of Tremendosaur!

We’ve got some pretty exciting news to share: Current TV has chosen our Halloween Rant to be a part of their TOP 71 PODS OF 2007.

That means you can see our pretty little faces (not to mention yours truly, naked, holding a cat) on cable TV ranting about Halloween against the snowy backdrop of December.

Think of it as Tremendosaur’s nod to The Nightmare Before Christmas. Or just think of it as Current TV really digging our stuff.

But wait, there’s MORE! Current’s offering Tremendosaur fans like YOU the opportunity to send in an intro for the piece explaining why you like it, and then airing it on cable TV. Neat!

No need for fancy equipment - anything from a digital camera to a webcam’ll do the trick. Go HERE for more details.

Halloween Rant will start re-airing December 28th and continue to do so until we ring in 2008.

DO IT UP!

‘Tis the Season, Tremendopals! We just wrapped shooting on another Holiday Rant for Current. It’ll be a couple of weeks before the fun hits the TV airwaves (just in time for Christmas!), but in the meantime… here’s a Chanukkah present for you guys:

You know, maybe Tremendosaur’s been focusing too much on comedy, and not enough on serious, real-life problems.

So, with this short, we decided to tackle the super-serious issue of sexual harassment in the workplace.

Okay, not quite.

But with a name like Tickle My Butt, how could you possibly resist watching

Drop whatever it is you’re doing and check it out!

Unless you’re painting a Faberge Egg. Don’t drop that.

Our improv troupe Second Nature is performing tomorrow night with guest monologist Kate Flannery (The Office, The Lampshades).

It’s going to be a great time, so come check it out!

WHERE: Ground Zero Performance Cafe, University of Southern California (directions)

WHEN: Wednesday, November 14th, 11pm

COST: Free!

Update: pictures of the show are up on Second Nature’s website (link)

If you’re a Tremendosaur fan living in the Tri-State area, we’ve got some fun for you!

Our video shorts have been selected to be part of The Longest Sketch Show Ever, a 24 hour sketch fest that will take place November 9th and 10th (one week from today) at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theatre in New York.

We know, we know, you can see our shorts online, so why would you pay money to see them at UCB? Well - in addition to yours truly, the 24 hour show is chocked full of comedy wonderfun, including live performances from:

Derrick, Elephant Larry, The Wicked Wicked Hammerkatz, Kasper Hauser, Matt Besser, and so many more!

A full lineup of hilarity can be found on the UCB’s website, here.

We’re excited to announce that we just launched a new sketch for Current about why we think Halloween is overrated. You can view it on the web or on their TV channels… if you even WATCH TV, that is.

Check it out if you like Halloween and / or want to see a naked Justin holding a black cat. And to think that cat is completely CG! It looks SO real!!

Get your DVRs ready, because Tremendosaur is coming to your TV this week.

We just did reviews of The Heartbreak Kid and The Darjeeling Limited for Current TV’s “Current Lowdown”. For those who don’t know, Current is a new cable channel that I’d sum up as being a cross between PBS and MTV. They just won an Emmy for Best Interactive Television Service, and some guy on their board of directors just won the Nobel Peace Prize. So yeah, they’re doing alright.

But enough about them, let’s talk about us!

Current’s programming is randomly generated, kind of like your iTunes shuffle, but you can see the next several hours of programming by clicking here. You’ll notice the next time “Current Lowdown: The Darjeeling Limited” is playing is 4:25pm, at which point I will be at the gym, watching myself on the elliptical with the personal TV set, and trying to get recognized.

Our reviews of both Darjeeling and The Heartbreak Kid will be airing on Current once or twice a day for the next two months, but if you want immediate satisfaction, watch them online using the links below:

Current Lowdown: The Heartbreak Kid

We’re also working with Current on a top secret project that involves Tremendosaur and our favorite holiday. Can’t say anymore now, but stay tuned.

Our friends over at the LAist just gave Tremendosaur a shout out, highlighting our newest short: “Tremendosaur and the Pitch Meeting of the Crystal Skull.”

Thanks LAist!

Read their post here, and watch our Crystal Skull short here.

Earlier this month, The Number 24 was featured by YouTube. In the past few weeks we’ve gotten a ton of views from around the world.

I am also proud to announce that The Number 24 has been featured under the YouTube comedy category in NINE other countries.

Apparently, The Number 24 is a big hit in the UK, Ireland, Spain, France, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland and Brazil.

If you look carefully, you can see all of these flags in a frame of the short itself. Seriously. Go take a look!

UPDATE: “The Number 24″ has now been featured by YouTube in Germany, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Mexico, Russia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.  That’s EIGHT more countries who put The Number 24 at Number 1!
