return to shorts
Alright friend-o’s, now that Tremendosaur’s back in action, have we got a contest for you! Here’s the scoop:
Every two weeks we’ll be putting up a new short on the website. Starting with Michael Phelps , the Tremendosaur dinosaur will be hidden somewhere within each short .
We started off easy, but it’s not going to stay that way…only the most eagle-eyed of fans will go home with a prize! What’s that, Justin? There’s a PRIZE?
Oh yes, there is most definitely a prize.
The first person to comment with the exact time the Tremendosaur appears in the short along with a fun comment in the accompanying blog post wins a FREE TREMENDOSAUR T-SHIRT ! That’s right, free stuff! Are we crazy ? YES!
Remember, you have to post it in the comments section right below the video on the official Tremendosaur blog . Not on YouTube. Not on facebook. On the accompanying blog post.
Also remember: the exact time + a fun comment. Only one of these = no prize. Both of these + being the first person to do it = PRIZE!
Sounds simple, right?
READY…SET…FIND THE TREMENDOSAUR!
Guess what? It’s time to get out your party hats and sparkling fruit flavored cocktails - maybe even call up a friend or two, because…
Tremendosaur is BACK!
We’ve been working on a slew of fun stuff for you guys, and some of it so exciting that we’re going to keep it a total surprise. But I’ll promise you one thing, Internet: we’ll be whipping out a new short every two weeks!
Allow me to tease you with some thumbnails…
Sure, Barack Obama’s great and all, but what if the Democratic candidate for 2008 was an adorable kitten? And what if the Republican candidate was a pudgy newborn baby?
Enter Kitten vs. Newborn, a series of shorts our friends Andy & Scott have produced for [adult swim]. It’s super-funny and parodies political ads with a deadpan accuracy.
Follow the political fervor as it happens over at the respective candidates’ sites!
Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve made a discovery that could possibly make (or ruin) the Obama campaign: Barack Obama has an evil twin. That’s right, our friendly neighborhood Dem is hiding a dirty little secret, and it goes by the name of Sagat.
Sound familiar? Maybe that’s because Sagat is one of the earliest Street Fighter bosses. Separated at birth, Barack and Sagat lived disconnected lives: one rose to riches and is now living the American Dream, while the other was shipped off to Thailand and forced to spend his childhood fighting up the ranks of underground cage-fights. It’s just like Sister, Sister…that is, if Tia was was running for president, and Tamara kicked crap out of Blanka every now and then.
The real question is why Obama chose Joe Biden for VP, when a Barack-Sagat ticket could have easily crushed the competition. Think about it: who do you want to run for president: a melted bag of skin and a yet-to-be-announced VP, or Barack Obama and his badass brother with an eyepatch? Sagat would literally kick ass.
Now, if only John McCain had an evil twin brother…
No, we haven’t gotten so incredibly bored that we’ve resorted to blogging about the status of our fridge.
We just figured that while you’re anxiously awaiting the return of of new material (and trust me, it’s on the way), we could provide you with a little something to hold you over.
Jacob wrote, shot, and cut this short in about 4 hours with Jacqueline Gabardy and Gian Molina for a video contest over at Ultimate Improv. The only rules were to create a short that showed the literary representation of a Hero’s Journey.
