Here's another collaboration with the guys at *CuttingRoom
. Fun to work on.
Here's their description
Anybody remember when there were educational channels? The Learning, Discovery, and History Channel--you could turn them on and feel like maybe you were going to learn, discover, or… um histor?... something. Even the Food Network or Animal Planet. Each of these channels had a brief period of nigh respectability. But in crap TV’s race to the bottom, these channels are big contenders. It’s damn hard to write parodies of their programming because their shows are already caricatures of themselves. Here are some actual promos:
• The Discovery Channel has a show called “Hogs Gone Wild,” which alludes to porn but is apparently “a new adrenaline-packed series taking viewers to the front lines in a war against an increasingly destructive and invasive enemy: the feral hog!”
• The Learning Channel has a show called Strange Sex. The latest episode is called “Well Hung.” Here’s the description: “The man that holds the Guinness Book of World Records' title of the world's largest penis explains the challenges of living so well endowed.”
I’ve come to expect this sort of sensationalistic “Who wants to screw my sister?” shit from Fox—who’s about a half-step away from pornographic snuff—half step past it, you understand. But somehow I expected more from these other channels. Maybe I’m just being naive.
