The Gay Chicken

You’ve asked for them. You’ve pleaded for them. You’ve practically begged for them. So here they are: Bill and Morgan, starring in a new episode of commodoreHUSTLE.

The Gay Chicken

As is usually the case with commodoreHUSTLE, this episode is based largely on real events. Morgan is truly the king of ‘flapping’, and Bill is, without question, the king of remaining unflapped. Even the tactic used to obtain ultimate victory in this video was word-for-word taken from the events as they actually unfolded.

You’ve likely noticed by now that Bill and Morgan have scaled back their involvement in videos somewhat, but Hustle just wouldn’t be Hustle without them – so fear not, though they may not show up as often as they once did, they’re not going away forever.

Finally, since Graham apparently doesn’t respect his work as an actor sufficiently to grant him a place among the credits, I’ll be the bigger man and give credit where it is due. The cat in this video is named Khavren, and he belongs to Kathleen. He is one of the precious few cats on this earth that I don’t dislike, so let’s all congratulate him on his stellar performance, and his being generally tolerable.

Rock on kitty.

(Oh, it occurs to me that Kathleen’s other cat, Annika, made his debut on tehz intarwebs today, too. He’s on this website, being extrememly bewildered.)

Clocking in at four minutes and twenty six seconds, with a history of leaving people crippled with laughter, providing you with nothing but sheer entertainment, it’s…. THIS WEEK’S VIDEO!

As mentioned by Tim in the forum thread for this video, the concept finds its origins among some work we did with our good friend Woody Tondorf while we were in Boston for PAX East. We spent an evening filming with him for a project he was making, and the idea became something we just had to run with. I don’t want to say too much, but I can tell you that the video we were involved with will be online in about 2 weeks. In the meantime, you can catch some of the other videos that Woody’s been making as a part of this project right here. Foursquare Cops gets my:

Cheers!

Sometimes a video will spring from the mind of its creator fully formed–like a Greek god, unexpectedly bursting from a non-womb part of his parent’s anatomy. Other times, a video will be written and languish in unfilmedness for a long time before finally being conjured into  existence. That is the case with this week’s video.

Tim actually wrote Green over a year ago, and would probably tell you it’s just an obvious joke taken to its zenith (likely without use of the word “zenith”). Even so, I have to applaud him for not actually using the most obvious reference of all re: being green. I also consider any video where we get to grease up and paint Morgan a worthwhile use of time. You might even recognize those garbage cans, which made a cameo in Just Drive a couple weeks ago — Just Drive was actually filmed the day after this video.

Hope you all enjoy it as much as we do! Thanks especially to Cherisse and Tally for helping us out on a busy Friday!
