The Davis and Droz Show

Our friend Chuck actually came up with the idea for this skit before GTA IV was even available for purchase, but we didn't shoot it for a few months, and then when we did, we realized we'd missed one single shot: we had nothing to transition from the gas station robbery to the carjacking. Ashneel's BMW went into the shop the day after we recorded that scene, so it was going to be a few weeks before we could re-use the car. Then Droz and I got new jobs that we had to shave for, so the facial hair was gone, and we had to come up with a way to get to the carjacking that didn't show our shorn, baby-soft faces. We sat on the skit for another few months until I came up with the shaving cream idea, and a few weeks later we shot it in about ten minutes (in a completely different apartment, we moved in-between the time we shot the first stuff and the time we taped the shaving bit) and had it online the same night.

This is easily my favorite skit we've ever done (to date), but there's a lot looking back at it now I wish we could have cleared up. We improvised the whole bit with pulling weapons out of the box in the beginning, over a variety of takes, and the final version was chopped up from all of them. Unfortunately, since we weren't working from a script there's a lot of stuff jumping in and out of our hands, and we say "Nice" and "Fuck yeah" about four hundred and seventy seven times. Other than that, I'm really proud of how this skit turned out.
