Tech Mom – Episode 1: The iPad

A technology vlog by and for moms. Sort of. Here’s the latest video from my UCB Comedy team The Brig.

Zack Phillips wrote this, Mackenzie Condon produced it, Mark Phillips did the theme song and I directed and edited it. Pamela Murphy play Tech Mom and had the difficult task of delivering a lot of technical jargon. This is actually the first in a series of three episodes, and they only get more complicated.

Also a special thanks to my parents for letting me shoot this in their apartment.

The Upright Citizens Brigade Theater recently put together Beta teams to make videos for their UCB Comedy website. I tell you this because I am on one of the teams. Our name is The Brig (we’re on Twitter @TheBrigComedy), and we just uploaded our first video.

You should watch it (warning NSFW).

I wrote it. Matt Mayer (voice in my iPhone parody and actor in College Regrets and cinematographer of 2010 Novelty Glasses) directed, Mackenzie Condon produced, Nate Russell shot and edited it and Mike Costabile did the music.

Working in a group is a lot of fun. Having 7 other comedy people look at your writing and give feedback really helps to improve scripts. Some of my favorite lines are punch-ups that Jon Gutierrez added.

It also really helps having great performers like Thomas Middleditch and Andrée Vermeulen be in the video and add some improvised lines.

LEAKED: New iPhone commercial

There really is an app for almost anything. Even when there shouldn’t be.

It’s even funnier in HD.

This post has gotten surprisingly popular, so I figured I might as well include some of my other commercial parodies here as well.
