It’s always fun when Kyle Newacheck directs an episode that features Karl, since people have to take him seriously while he’s dressed like a blind hobo.
Go inside Workaholics with Young Hollywood as they sit down to talk about the making of the show with Mail Order Comedy.
Kyle and Blake discuss their first TV show, Adam gives an unofficial Young Hollywood theme song, and Ders takes a freestyle challenge all while getting a behind-the-scenes look at a day on set.
Look for the July 2012 issue of High Times magazine for a special interview with the guys of Mail Order Comedy.
I think they discuss campaign finance reform and their preferred cut of Blade Runner, among other topics, but there’s no way to be sure until you check the mag yourself.
Director Kyle Newacheck will often storyboard Workaholics scenes to give both himself and the crew an idea of how best to visually represent the moments at hand.
For MAN UP, the biggest challenge (aside from working with a live raccoon) was always going to be the car chase.
In the selection of storyboards posted here, you can see many shots that almost perfectly match the final product. So those of you who thought we just rented a stretch of road and threw clay against a wall, must feel pretty stupid now, huh?
Thoughts running through Karl’s mind as he stood waiting for his Bride-to-Be (who quickly became Bride-to-Never-be):
- “This is the girl I’m going to spend at least the next six months with.”
- “Choosing Blake over my brother to be my best man was the right decision, because Blake is looking out for my best interests. That, and my brother drowned in that wave pool 2 years ago.”
- “MOMMY, IF YOU CAN READ MY THOUGHTS, DON’T BUCK DERS! HE’S MEAN!”
- “Where’d I park the rape van? Oh right, sold it.”
- “Glad I poured that ‘Tussin neat before I came out here, really helped calm the nerves.”
- “Sewer Dwayne’s lost weight.”
- “These glasses really correct more than just the wonky eye, feel like I’m seeing the world for the first time… Wait, Hannah’s Korean?!”
- “This is the first wedding I’m in that isn’t one of Mommy’s.”
- “Glad Adam found love. And one of my usual customers.”
- “Shoulda signed that pre-nup.”
Of course, there’s no way to tell for sure what Karl was thinking, but at any time Tacos and Drugs is a solid guess.
Here now, a collection of music from last night’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Roommates:
When Blake turned into the Human Missile Crisis and bombed that Jonah Hill, you heard I Predict a Riot by Jungle Rot. Buy it HERE.
Tacos & Drugs by Kyle Newacheck blazed the background while the guys ran from the Security Guard; if you missed the free link we posted this morning, check it HERE.
Who can forget the Security Guard’s haunting pop music theme, stalking the guys through the night as they frantically searched for escape? You won’t be able to either when you get Obsession by Animotion HERE.
Finally, for all you music lovers, here’s a bonus MYSTERY LINK for a song that helped inspire the episode and it’s events.
Look for the Workaholics Mix Tape every Wednesday morning, saying the songs that sang the story.
