Join the BTTM Booster Club!

You asked, and we answered! If you like a particular video we put out, it’s easier than ever to tell the whole world with the new buttons at the bottom of all bttm.net posts. These buttons let you share our videos across a multitude of sites. We’ve also got a new Twitter and a new Facebook Fan Page specifically for fans of The Machine to show off their support, to give input and, of course, to help others not let the machine get them down.

We really appreciate all of your support and all of the requests for this kind of stuff! We’ll be tweaking everything over the next few days, but it’s all fully functional right now, so jump in!

New Video: Mousetrap (Saw 6 Parody)

Boo!

It’s our new, frightfully funny Halloween video, a spoof of the “Saw” film franchise, called “Mousetrap”! Steve and his friends are captured by a psychotic, albeit uncreative puppet, whose plans Steve simply cannot abide. Checkout our ghoulish new video… if you dare!

Directed and edited by Ballard C. Boyd. Special thanks to Laure “Reid’s Mom” Levin!

Have a happy Halloween and don’t let the machine get you down. Check back here next week for a brand new video! Mwahahaha!

Philly Sketchfest Update

Howdy! We just received information about when we’ll be performing at the Philadelphia Sketchfest. Come see us on Saturday, December 4th at 8 pm. We’re going to kick ass and take names (for the mailing list). There are also going to be a bunch of other great sketch comedy shows there between December 3-5 that we’ll be watching, too. It’s gonna be a blast!

Checkout the Philly Sketchfest homepage for more info.

New Video: Lavender Essence

Our new video is dedicated to the classiest of women. It is a classy commercial for a classy product that endows women with that special “Je ne sais quoi”. Indulge your senses and have a look:

Directed by Paul Syracuse, who is, himself, quite a classy fellow.

Make sure to check back here next Monday for a brand new video!

New Video: The Football Sketch!

In honor of the 5-0 Denver Broncos (not really), I present “The Football Sketch” (really):

Poor ol’ nerdy Carl, why can’t you be more like Carlos, threatening to jump off buildings for financial gain and whatnot? Paul directed and edited this one. Enjoy it, and make sure to check back here next week for a brand new video!
