The Earliest Show: Extended Interviews from Thomas Middleditch

rejectedjokes:

Now that The Earliest Show has wrapped up its six episode season, it’s time for BONUS EPISODES! Episode 7 brings you ten minutes of never before seen extended interviews with each of our celebrity guests- Reggie Miller, Reggie Watts, Jake Johnson, Jane Levy, Thomas Middleditch and Pedro Pascal! Only one more video remains and let me say this… it is by far the most epic video we’ve done. It is our thank you to everyone for watching. Our mic drop. The monster that is episode 8 comes out on Thursday… and nothing will be the same.

If you missed the six episode mayhem, you can watch the whole series by CLICKING HERE.

FunnyOrDie is a competitor of Cracked so, ya know, grr and boo and all of that.

Now that all this company stuff is out of the way, everyone please watch every episode of The Earliest Show. It’s a very funny and incredibly well-executed show. It’s the kind of show that can only really exist on and because of the internet and represents the old school promise of what content on the web COULD be. The content landscape has shifted away from this kind of thing toward shorter, stand-alone, hit-driven videos, but The Earliest Show is a great example of what can and should be done on this big fucking stupid platform of ours. A strong idea executed well by passionate people.

More Cracked After Hours fanart because apparently I’ll never get tired of this series.

First there’s the scenario they all imagine in the police episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evhUXhzlslE
The most terrible thing Soren can imagine is Daniel being murdered (It’s almost certain the characters had started sleeping with each other at this point in the series), and they all just roll with the idea. Daniel comes back as a ghost to ask Soren to avenge him, Soren takes on the task and eventually realize Katie did it. Michael is just excited about all the body parts.

Then there’s the Halloween episode where they all dress up as the “Stranger Things” character they have most in common with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3nSjF9W8I0

Michael as goofy friend, Dustin.

Katie as irresponsible, violent but kind-hearted adult, Hopper.

Daniel as unpopular nerd, Barb.

But the winner has got to be Soren. He has so much in common with Eleven he isn’t even wearing a costume. He has supernatural powers, grew up in semi-isolation on a mountain, his mother suddenly disappeared when he was very young and instead some rich people showed up and said they were his real parents. We don’t know what they did to him, but he now has a crippling fear of showing weakness, a million phobias, is afraid of close human relationships, unquestionable respect for authorities, and has his free will messed with. We’ve even seen him use his powers to kill. Clearly a lot of insane stuff is going on in his life outside the diner.

Fan theories and backstory make me so happy

Listen to ME Now

Hey! I was lucky enough to be asked to join TWO podcasts as a guest and they’re both out right now!

Team Tiger Awesome, your favorite sketch team, has a new podcast and they brought me on to talk about building an ideal presidential candidate. It was pure nonsense and a lot of fun.

Everything’s Coming Up Podcast is a podcast that goes through every single episode of The Simpsons, and Allie and Julia were kind enough to let me talk about Lisa’s Substitute, my favorite episode. It was fun and emotional but I didn’t cry! Give them both a listen. I fucking love doing podcasts.

The After Hours team is back for the sixth year in a row. Mixing pop culture observations, limitless non sequiturs and weigh-in from the crowd, the evening will result in an inside look at series development, a live performance of a not-yet-released episode and commentary from the Cracked.com team.

The Making of “After Hours:” How a Conversation Becomes an Episode

We’re doing an After Hours panel at the LA Comic Con. You are welcome to come. I will embrace you if you so desire.

I am going to be at this.

Help Us Fight AIDS!

Cracked is teaming up with FunnyOrDie, UCB and CollegeHumor to raise money to fight AIDS. I used to have a page where you could donate to me, but according to my dog, Jackson the Unmentionable, a wizard, I “wasn’t getting it done” so he took over my page so now you have to donate to his page. He’s trying to raise $1000. Money’s tight for everyone, but anything you can do helps. Jackson has something he’d like to say.

“I am Jackson the Unmentionable, a wizard instead of being a dog and the eternal answer to the question “Who is a good boy?” Daniel the Human does not have what it takes to find joy in this world. He lacks courage, clarity and vision. In my dreams, I have seen truth. I know what day the world ends, I have felt the tremendous loss of all things. And yet I can still summon the sun to rise, every day, bringing overwhelming light to the darkness. Please help me walk with my four powerful wizard legs (unless I get tired and need to be held). Donate the abstract and foolish concept of money to my page and together we will bring light and destroy AIDS. I am a good boy I am a good boy.”
