Howdy!

It’s the end of the first decade of the third millennium and Better Than The Machine is helping see the decade out in style with its “End Of The Decade Blowout!” Everything from Y2K to Tiger Woods has GOT TO GO!

Directed and edited by Reid Levin (that’s me!). Production assisted by Laure Glass Levin.

Hey everybody, Reid here. With everyone away for the holidays, this week’s video did not quite meet our usual prompt deadline. We were so close to having an unbroken weekly schedule, too! Nuts. Anyway, the last video of the year will be released on Tuesday, and you can take that to the bank! You can even hold your breath if you’d like.

–Reid.

While you may “take that to the bank,” its cash value is 1/27th of a cent. Better Than The Machine, Ltd. and its affiliated subsidiaries bear no responsibility for injuries sustained from holding your breath until the next video is released.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Kwanzaa and, of course, another chance to post our holiday video! Make sure to check below the video after you watch it: we added some helpful advice for this time of year.

You may just think this is a simple repost of last week’s video. All we have to say about that is… Ho Ho Ho!

We hope you take an important lesson from this video: some friends or family members will give you crappy gifts. When they do, you should accept them with humility and grace. That way, you can plan all year for a terrible gift to give your friend or family member next year, and they’ll never see it coming.

Happy Ho Ho Holidays from Better Than The Machine! Don’t let fruitcake get you down,

Ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourselves for a grammar revolution! This revolution will not be won with guns and aero-planes, but with a spin on a classic routine. English Majors, Word Nerds and Grammar Nazis: this one’s for you.

Festively directed and edited by Ballard C. Boyd. Special thanks to Cindy Reiman!

Howdy! As soon as we got home from the Philly Sketchfest, we decided that it was time for Better Than The Machine’s latest controversy, video, and controversial video! Read on!

Keloqq’s newest cereal for women has that same great taste you’ve come to expect, plus a hardy dose of birth control!

A copyright infringement free version of our “Kellogg’s Special K with Birth Control” parody video that we had to take down last April due to a complaint from The Kellogg Company. Our parody was too good and too realistic, and the The Kellogg Company had to turn away too many people asking for the cereal with birth control.

Re-directed and re-edited in a totally copyright free way by Ballard C. Boyd.

Check back here next week for a brand new video! If ever there was a case in which it would be appropriate to say this, this is it: don’t let the machine get you down.

–Reid.

In our latest video, we follow a young woman who can’t shake the feeling of the tiny hairs on her neck standing on end. Is she running away from danger, or into its thrilling embrace? Is she haunted by the night, or is she drawn to its lonely shadows? Who–or what–is it that compels her so?

Watch “Prowler” and discover the truth for yourself:

Don’t look like a frump, iron that shirt–the Iowa Training Films way! A crisply ironed shirt says, “Hey World, I’m important enough to wear an iron shirt!” Iowa Training Films would know.
