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.

This video was directed by Paul Syracuse, edited by Paul Syracuse and Reid Levin, with visual effects by Reid Levin.

Enjoy the benefits of looking sharp, and make sure to check back here for a brand new sketch comedy video next Monday!

Our latest video is a documentary about the last clone of Hitler, a young starving artist who lives in Williamsburg, Brooklyn–the epicenter of hipster culture.

Howdy! Hear all the buzz about Better Than The Machine performing at Philly Sketchfest ’09? Well get your hand out of that beehive for a moment, Madam or Sir, and check this out:

Due to overwhelming enthusiasm, we’ve been given a second show at the Philly Sketchfest! Both shows are on the evening of Saturday, December 5. The first show is at 8:00pm and the second show is at 10:00pm. While the second show is a bit shorter, it’s not the length of the show that matters, it’s how we use it. We plan to perform different material for each show just to make it worth your dime! The least you could do is come to both shows.

The Philly Sketchfest runs from December 3-5, and there are going to be a lot of great sketch comedy groups performing! Checkout the Philly Sketchfest homepage for information on tickets, performers and everything else.

We hope to see you there!

This is the second of two shows we’ll be performing on Saturday, December 5 at the Philly Sketchfest. Although this is the shorter of our two shows, remember that it’s not the length of the show that matters, it’s how we use it. We’ll be performing different material in both shows, but we’re not gonna tell you what’s in which, so yer just gonna hafta see both and find out for yourself!

Sorry–we don’t mean to be mean–we just haven’t figured it out yet.

Howdy! Check out this week’s video: “The Best Friend.” Who says men and women can’t be best friends? We do. But what do you think?

This sketch was originally created as a commercial for Jim Beam, and while they didn’t use it, we still like it a lot and figured you would too! It’s just so delightfully awkward!

Enjoy! And remember to check back next week for a brand new video!

Perfectly directed and edited by Ballard C. Boyd. Or was it? Yes, yes it was.
