Banned Commercials Video


We had fun filming this weeks video. The concept was to create a series of short commercials based around the premise of being "Banned Commercials". We were worried how people would respond to the content considering it could be viewed as rather offensive to some people, but luckily thus far the response has been wonderful. I'm happy to see that not everybody is overly PC, especially when it comes to comedy. We have to allow comedy to be pure and unrestricted.

For this video I created a prop that was suppose to look like a Chinese food take out box. I wasn't sure I would be able to do it but I told myself I wouldn't be able to for sure if I at least didn't try. That motivated me to give it a shot. So during the weekend I kicked back, put on a football game and put my arts and crafts skills to the test. I actually had quite a bit of fun making it. It took in total about 2 hours to make for literally maybe 20 seconds of screen time haha, it's okay though, I feel it helped add a lot to the joke.

The mexican gardener part of the video was an idea that I had been sitting on for months now and just never had the proper outlet to execute it. It finally had it's chance to shine. I really enjoy it, I think it's my favorite part of the video actually. I knew it would be funny. We had some problems with audio while filming that part because the only spot we had the opportunity to use was populated with barking  dogs in yards and curious neighbors, but we made it work. Brison had no shame when it came to being loud in a poncho and sombrero, that's why he's great at what he does haha.

I hope people can look past the risqué content and see the humor and comedy in what we did. Truth be told we could of made the content way more "offensive"… we always can.
