Have you ever wondered if a snake and a hamster would make good roommates? Me neither. Check out this new Smosh!

Featuring a frog jumping around with a mouse on its back. What else could you possibly need to know? Mother Nature provided the animals, I provided the jokes.

Later, on the same website…

America has a real f’n ray gun.

Unfortunately, it turns out ray guns are not all they’re cracked up to be.

I wrote and did all the art for this, except for “Donald Duck,” for whom credit goes to my editor C.J. Arabia.

Howdy!

I thought I’d indulge in some shameless self promotion here on bttm.net and announce that I’ve got a new gig writing for humor website Smosh.com. In addition to comedy content written by writers like me, Smosh.com serves as the homepage of a famous-on-the-Internet comic duo who are also coincidentally called Smosh. Hmmn… that’s quite a lucky coincidence indeed. Maybe too lucky, if you know what I mean…

Which is a perfect segue into this article I wrote and illustrated about a woman who has been so lucky as to win four different lotteries in less than 20 years (which is true). Unfortunately, her extraordinary luck seems to have caused equally extraordinarily bad luck for those around her (which I made up for humorous effect). Check it out:

Yeah!

Recently, when I was in the New York of the midwest, Minneapolis,  I was delighted to be invited on a podcast, straight out of Studio A, The Bobcast.

The Bobcast features Bob 1, Bob 2 and Box (my friend Mike).   I  picked the beer of the week and rattled on about Better Than the Machine for about 15 min at the end of their show.  These guys really like our stuff and I have to say, they’re pretty damn funny themselves.  Check the podcast out here and visit their website www.thebobcast.net

…and here’s a pic with Box and Bob 2! Thanks for having me guys!

So, Matt Gallo (me) appeared in both parts of a movie review of “Showgirls” done by the Nostalgia Chick for ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com!

Keys scenes had to be “reinacted” due to their x-rated material,  and I was among those around to help. And for that matter, so was my girlfriend, and a few other fine folks! Check it out!

Hey everyone,

Check out this video that Reid and I are in. It was filmed over the summer by our directors comedy group, The Royal We, they did a great job with it. Hope you’re doing well Reid, get better!

I just wrote up a lengthy post at Reid Levin Dot Net about being diagnosed with leukemia last week. Feel free to read it if you like. I appreciate all of your love and support.

Know that Better Than The Machine is still on the up and up, and has some amazing announcements coming soon. From now on, for specific concerns relating to Better Than The Machine, please contact Paul Syracuse at paul.syracuse@gmail.com. We will be trying to update contact information uniformly for that stuff soon. (And we’ll be trying to get the others a bit more acquainted with how to use the website!)

Don’t let the machine get you down,

–Reid.

One final self-promotion for my side project webseries The Guys in 3A (shamelessly cross-posted from Reid Levin Dot Net):

Today’s Adventure : Next Season on 3A…

Today’s episode of The Guys in 3A is our last for DotComedy. It is a sneak peak of “next season,” which is in quotes because it is fictional. Special thanks to Jason Shwartz, who contributed some awesome animation to the episode.

Also, an especially big thanks to everyone who tuned in to watch the series–it’s been nice knowing that people are out there enjoying these things. We’re not sure what the future holds for 3A at this point, but we’ll let you know as soon as we do. Dave and I have enjoyed making the series, and we still live together in the real world (if not the fictional one), so there’s sure to be something new out of us at some point down the road.

You’ll be the first to know.

–Reid.

In this week’s episode of my series The Guys in 3A, Dave and I are running against each other for President of Apartment 3A. See who wins, who loses, and who’s all full of beer at the end over at DotComedy.

Hey! Two spooky Halloween videos selected especially for you, random Internet friend!

First off, check out Better Than The Machine’s scary Halloween sketch Raw Pumpkin Peril!, in which someone’s head explodes in a bloody mess and is replaced by a pumpkin.

This sketch was supposed to be on CW’s Online Nation, which was canceled. No worries, though: at 500 views, it has already received more hits than the number of people who watched that show.

Next, check out the new Halloween episode of my series The Guys in 3A, in which Dave and I carve pumpkins:

Have a spooky Halloween!
