New Video: Bobby Fitzsimmons’ Vlog: Episode 1

Heeeeey!

Great news: Bobby Fitzsimmons is back! Don’t worry if you don’t know him yet; consider this your introduction!

Bobby’s using a camera he found in the trash to vlog: today he answers some email. Maybe he’ll answer you in his next vlog if you leave him a note!

“Bobby Fitzsimmons’ Vlog: Episode 1″ was directed and edited by Ballard C. Boyd. It is based on the character created by Better Than The Machine and Will Nunziata.

Oh, and if you never saw Bobby’s first adventure as the good guy who saved everybody from the terrorism by seeing something and saying something back in 2007, take a look at our old video “See Something, Say Something”! It’s funny, but also kind of sad. Mostly funny.

Bobby’s going to have some more adventures soon, but before then, we’ve got some other hilarious videos on the burner that we can’t wait to show you! Make sure to check http://bttm.net soon, and don’t let the machine get you down!

BTTM’s “Foreplay?” Goes Double Platinum!

I’d like to thank people who clicked on our video in the hope that today would mysteriously be the day YouTube lets nudity and porn on their site. We owe our success to these angry, would-be masturbators.

-Carlos Cabrera

It’s official! Our popular 2007 video “Foreplay?” has passed two million views on YouTube, and shows no signs of slowing down. In the video, Paul unsuccessfully tries to seduce Christina, but comes off as a huge, huge creep. Really, just huge. I bet a lot of people wonder what sort of date must have occurred just before this scene that enabled such a creepy guy to get into this woman’s apartment. Or maybe that’s just me.

Take a look at that big ol’ number of views for yourself on the YouTube “Foreplay?” page. You can also watch “Foreplay?” a few more times below, as it jets towards three million views!

Very important note: do not attempt to use any of the techniques demonstrated in this video unless you’re looking to become a sexual pariah.

–Reid.

P.S. A huge sexual pariah.

Hey, Kanye West!

I’m sure that you’ve all heard about Kanye West’s latest antics at the 2009 MTV VMA’s. He’s taken a lot of flak for what he did to Taylor Swift.

I just want to point out that Better Than The Machine was giving Kanye West flak over two years ago. In fact, we’ve been at the forefront of the “Fuck You, Kanye West!” movement for several years. Check it out in our music video Give A Shit:

And make sure to download the MP3 version to show your solidarity against Kanye!

NEW VLOG – Videos To Continue, No Longer Weekly

We’re officially getting out of the weekly video business, as announced in this week’s new vlog featuring Paul. Check it out here:

We had planned to release a few more weekly videos, but certain events have forced us to move up our schedule (*ahem* I broke my arm *ahem*).

Don’t worry; we’ll still be making new videos and will be releasing them semi-regularly, just not every week. We think that if we’re able to put some more time into each video, and not rush them out to meet a weekly deadline, we’ll be able to put out higher quality videos.

We appreciate all of your support over the past year. We’ve had a great time making weekly videos, and look forward to making more videos soon. Make sure to check back regularly!
