New Video: “The Big Game”

With the Super Bowl but days away, we here at the P! Company wanted to give back to the football fans- who used to be the old football players in high school- who were the jocks that bullied us- who were the ones whom humiliated us in front of the entire class- who placed catchy nicknames onto those who weren’t superior athletes or attractive looking. Damn you, football fans!!!!

Anyway, we’ve got another sketch from the vault. This one is entitled “The Big Game.”

Steve’s got a full day of watching football ahead of him. But when he receives an unexpected phone call, it could send him into a tailspin. Will he be able to enjoy the big football game after hearing the news?

New Video: “The Audition”

Pete Starswick, the self proclaimed inventor of acting, is about to blow the socks off of a hot shot L.A. director. But Pete forgets his lines- will he be able to re-cover and get the part? What lengths will he go to secure his spot?

*Did You Know: This classic P! Company sketch was shot during an actual P! Co casting session back in 2005.

YouTube more like PoopTube

For whatever reason, we, the P! Company, were targeted for using copyrighted material in one of our video sketches on YouTube. That video was “The Orphanage” starring the ever funny Chris Trew. We used Paul Simon’s “Kodachrome” for the rampant fun montage of Tommy and Chris enjoying the fruits of their new relationship as Father and Adopted Son. It was a great song choice for the montage.

YouTube, acting well within it’s rights, recently striped the audio track from the original. The statement attached to the video said, “Your video, The Orphanage, may have audio content from Kodachrome by Paul Simon that is owned or licensed by WMG. As a result, your video has been muted.”

It’s strange we got hit considering how many full television shows and other blatantly copyrighted materials appear within every other search on YouTube. But I suppose the WMG group has a firmer hold to specify that their material isn’t used inappropriately.

I titled this post “YouTube more like PoopTube,” I mean no offense- it was merely a clever way to title this particular video re-release post. In any case, we’ve replaced the track with a new song from a local group that I feel keeps the spirit of “Kodachrome.” Enjoy.
