If you didn't see the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards, or don't remember them, this isn't going to make a heap of sense. Of course, even if you just watched a rerun of the VMAs yesterday, there's a good chance you'll wish you had these three minutes of your life back.

Between the horrible quality (we shot this with a Sony point-and-shoot camera), the terrible dubbing (all the original audio was unusable), or the foot long sausage in my pants (it was delicious), I think we can all agree this is not our finest moment.

We actually reshot this skit; there's a whole other full version of it we'd shot first with a Digital8 camera, but we'd been rushed when taping so there wasn't enough coverage to make a good edit. If you're curious, this was a promotional video for the second season of our podcast, which of course we never got around to doing. Make the advertisement first and the product second, my father always told me. Of course, he was a rotten drunk who cheated at cards and beat me with a power cord he pulled off of a broken microwave. But it's probably for the best: the audio podcast evolved into our skit show, and now here we are. Looking at the picture of me above these words, I'm pissed I forgot to wear the headband in the skit.

This was our first production, and one that was very fun to make as well. A fun little tidbit about this one was that all the audio was recorded after we shot it all, and Davis was wearing a sausage in his leotard. A huge sausage. We can definitely notice this as being one of our earliest skits due to the production value. My, how we've improved! And I'll say one last thing: this has got to be Sergio's greatest role ever.
