Happy Video Halloween!

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!

NEW VIDEO – The First Date

Check out our new video “The First Date,” which highlights two things. One: it is often times best to keep your mouth shut. Two: Better Than The Machiners should not date.

Enjoy, and make sure to check back next week for a brand new video!

NEW VID – See Something, Say Something

In New York City, there are ads everywhere that inform you that “if you see something, [you should] say something”. This campaign is designed to thwart terrorism through the work of vigilant New Yorkers, many of whom, unfortunately, are not very bright.

Our new video is the story of one such hero: Mr. Bobby Fitzsimmons. Bobby is determined to single-handedly fight terrorism in NYC, or at least to make himself feel important. Check out “See Something, Say Something” here:

Keep your eyes peeled for suspicious activities or packages and, as always, make sure to check back next week for a brand new video!

Oh Snap!

I think Online Nation was canceled and no one told us. Needless to say, it seems the episode we were supposed to be on tonight will not be airing. I’ll let you know if we hear anything more!

Jefferson Street closing down Mo Pitkin’s

This Saturday, October 20th, NYC comedy house of satisfaction Mo Pitkin’s will be closing down for good. The ol’ place is going out in style though, with the premiere of the first episode of Jefferson Street, a new variety show.

There’s some music, there’s some comedy, and the reason it’s near-and-dear to Better Than The Machine’s heart is that one of the key players of Jefferson Street is BTTM alumni Chris Zalewski, who not only collaborated with us on the studio recording of Give A Shit earlier this year, but was also one of the first members of Better Than The Machine (he came up with the name “Better Than The Machine”!).

There will be live musical performances by The Imperialists and Glen Bingham, and of course the world premiere screening of the first episode of Jefferson Street. It’s five bucks and starts at 10:00 PM. Come check it out with us!
