Assignment 2- The Alien
If I where trying to explain Comedy Central to an Alien, I would:
Show it a Picture of Steven Wright
Comedy Central would be dressed like Perry Ferrell in his Red Carpet gear. (See: picture)
Comedy Central would live at the YMCA, but sleep on the couch at his friend’s apartment most of the time.
I actually think that Comedy Central would have decent taste in Music, but most often listen to Bands like Ween, The Dead Milkmen, The beta Band, and Kraftwerk.
Comedy Central would love all the Chris Farley movies.
Comedy Central would be a friend of mine, but it wouldn’t be my couch he was always crashed out on. I’d like having him around for entertainment purposes only. I am not Comedy Central, but I do have a friend who is.
I would show the Alien a picture of Cartman’s Ass (Pictured Above) and this picture of John Stewart (Also Above), to represent Comedy Central.
I would show the Alien South Park, The Daily Show, and the Sarah Silverman Show. I would show him these shows because I think they represent the best of Comedy Central. The shows really speak for themselves.

Assignment 1
My idea for a show on Comedy Central would be a hybrid, between who line is it anyway, Jeopardy, and American Idol. I say Jeopardy just because the winning team would be able to continue playing until they where defeated (or until they won a pre-set number of times). Unlike Who’s Line, the participants would be amateur improv contestants. The participants would be selected individually either off the street, or through try-outs, whatever. They would then be put through some sort of improv exercise (as part of the show), and the results of the exercises would determine which team each was placed on. Then the teams would compete against each other in an Improv showdown.
What you would have is a show that features normal people who think they are funny, who get to perform as individuals and then as part of an Improv team. Winners could be crowned in different categories like best solo performance, best individual in a team, and then overall teams would be crowned. At the end of the year, you could have an Improv playoff with all of the former champions competing against each other (like champions week on Jeopardy).
So, it would be like an American Idol-ish, Jeopardy-ish, Who’s line-ish kind of show. You could have celebrity Judges mixed with Audience voting. You could even have the audience split up into two sides, each representing one team, and involve them in some way that could affect the outcome of the competition. (Best Audience Joke, best audience performance, etc…) There are plenty of variables that could be pulled from the concept. If I had more time, I could probably write for hours.
Anyone could watch it, but I would think it would be more of an adult show, with plenty of bleeps and edits. I’m guessing sometimes it would be hysterical, and other times it wouldn’t be that funny at all. (Just like real Improv. But people would still watch it just to see how bad it can be [like the Gong show]). However, I think that with the right subject matter, the right contestants and the right energy, it would still be pretty entertaining. It would help if there was something tangible to win. I’m guessing that sponsorship could take care of that…. So add in there Wheel of Fortune-ish and Price is Right – ish.
Yep, that would be my show. I’d have Sarah Silverman and Louis Guzman involved. (Pictured Above)

Hello Everyone,
Robear here, Robert Sharp formally. I can only hope that I am doing this right. I have never Blogged before, and while it doesn't seem like rocket science, I still find myself a little confused on what the H$&% I'm supposed to be doing.
Actually, I know what I should be doing... working at my real job, but whats the point of that?
O.K.,
Robert Sharp
33 (34 next week)
I work in Executive Search in Manhattan
My passions are plenty, but include: Building businesses, making music, and playing sports.
I'm a part time music producer and DJ, I play semi-pro baseball, I play in a basketball league, and I play in a men's football league. I also own a Men's Accessories Company called Triple-O-Squared, and I'm working on another business TBD.
I watch South Park and The Daily Show more than any other Comedy Central Shows. However, the roasts are great, and I often will stop on CC when I see stand-up.
The pictures above are me, and the one on the right is my attempt at showing my sense of humor. I went with this one because I am not sure the naked ones are allowed. I hope this covers everything I needed to accomplish on this first Blog-O-Mine. Cheers!

Assignment 2
If an alien were to land on Earth and you had to explain what Comedy Central was, what would you show it? I show him Cartman getting an anal probe and see how true it is. Then I'd see if the chick aliens were hot. If so, it'd be Patron on the lips and Shaggy tunes on the jukebox to get me some of that.
• If you were to describe it as a person, how would you describe it? Why? Everybody has that really stupid friend, and that would be CC. While you're not sure the actual purpose of his/her existence, it's funny as hell to hear what comes out of their mouth.
• What kind of clothes would Comedy Central wear? A kilt, traditional commando style. Like Willy. And a pot leave t shirt.
• Where would Comedy Central live? In his mom's basement.
• What kind of music would it listen to? Weird Al.
• Which movies would it love?Dumb & Dumber...on a loop.
• Would Comedy Central be a friend of yours? Why or why not? Is Comedy Central you? Comedy central would be my friend because he makes me laugh. Like a clown. I'm definately not CC, I've got bills to pay and CC just drinks all day.
• What are 2 images would you show it to represent Comedy Central?Dave Chappel - Black White Supremacist and Sarah Silverman. The latter because she's hot and I'd hit that.
• What is 1 YouTube clip would you show them that represents the entertainment you find on Comedy Central (doesn’t have to be from a Comedy Central show)? SNL - Cowbell.
• What are 3 shows you would tell them about? What would you tell them about each show? Why?
William Shatner Roast - Because comedians are a depraved bunch. These roasts are a good way to get a general picture of which comedians are hot at the time.
Crank Yankers - Because people are the funniest when they aren't trying to be.
South Park - Well I'd try to explain it but have you ever tried to explain a South Park episode? "So there's this towel...but he smokes weed" or "So these two handi-capable kids are joining a gang..." It's impossible to convey the absurdity and genius without watching it.

Assignment 1: My Show
If I had create a show for CC it would be along the "that's just wrong" line of thinking. There's no better laugh than the nervous laugh of someone who knows that finding comedic value in a situation is sending you straight to hell. First there would be a main character that is in someway handicapped. Being blind is good, there's alot of funny stuff that can happen there. I'd give the character a good generic name, Henry works. The premise would be situational with no real underlying plot. More like a Seinfeld than normal sitcoms. I think something like this would best be presented as animated; cartoons seem to soften the blow of morally corrupting the viewer with un-PC and anti-social sentiments while allowing you to just enjoy the fact that Sponge Bob is humping Porky Pig (ahem...Draw Together) A show like this would lack any redeeming social value and serve simply to to push the limits of censors, sponsors and the Christian right. While it's easy to say such a show would be disengaged from normality, the funniest bits are always based a bit on the trivial normalities of life but taking them to absurd extremes.
Assignment 2, Death to Aliens
If an alien were to land on Earth and you had to explain what ComedyCentral was, what would you show it?
First off I would simply kill the alien, all aliens are evil. I donot trust them.
• If you were to describe it as a person, how would you describe it? Why?Comedy Central would be the funny guy at a bar. Just sitting,relaxin, and makin other people laugh.
• What kind of clothes would Comedy Central wear?A Stewart, Colbert, 08 shirt of course!
• Where would Comedy Central live?Everyone is making Comedy Central live in NYC, but Comedy Central tome is definitely West Coast. I think overall it is a little toopolitical to be a NY'er.
• What kind of music would it listen to?Something I probably haven't heard of yet.
• Would Comedy Central be a friend of yours? Why or why not? Is ComedyCentral you?I would be friend with Comedy Central until it started talkingpolitics, then I would go get another beer and let him finish up.
• Which movies would it love?Classic Comedies, Animal House, Ghostbusters. Good modern comedies,Anchorman, Superbad, Reno 911 in Miami, and I also think it would likegreat unintentional comedies, like Roadhouse.
• What are 2 images would you show it to represent Comedy Central?I would show an image from South Park, the show that made comedycentral what it is.I would also show an imagine of Dave Chappelle as Prince.
• What is 1 YouTube clip would you show them that represents theentertainment you find on Comedy Central (doesn't have to be from aComedy Central show)?
Not sure if it is on you tube, but I would have to show a clip of thefamous, "I'm Ric James Bitch!!" Chappelle show
• What are 3 shows you would tell them about? What would you tell themabout each show? Why?
South Park - Classic
Chappelle's Show – a short run, but probably the funniest thing thatwas ever on TV
Jim Gaffigan Beyond the Pale – I know, it was a special not a show,but the alien would have to learn about stand up comedy, and thisrecent special was hilarious.

assignment 2: too many parts to this assignment
hello again. yeah, so i just can't think hard enough for that long of a time to seriously complete that whole checklist. no offense, mckay, i'm sure you put a lot of effort into it. before i get into my response i'd like to share my youtube clip with you. i found it the other day. don't know what i was looking for but i came upon this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zOevLN3Tic&NR=1
. hilarious. anyway, i would describe to this alien that comedy central was a channel devoted to social and political satire as well off the cuff and often uncouth humor (such as my above youtube link). As a person, comedy central is always good for a laugh. For some reason I feel like we're all going to automatically make our comedy central person a guy, so i'm gonna go ahead and make comedy central a girl. She's really hot, but she doesn't know it, which makes her hotter. she loves wearing jeans and a white wife-beater and is really just one of the guys. she lives in the LES because she's really down to earth and unpretentious. and sarcastic. she's so sarcastic. sexy. she's open to listening to any type of music, so long as it's not pop music (which makes her cooler than me cuz i'm a sucker for popular beats). she loves the big lebowski and loves drinking white russians while the dude does. i hope i meet her one day. if i do i'm so not introducing her to that alien. he probably has powers to steal her from me. i hate aliens.

assignment1 LOCKER ROOM
The majority of the show takes place in a high rise residential building’s health spa, in the men’s locker room. Parts of it will also take place in the gym, the sauna, and the front desk of the spa. The premise of the show is two best friends in their early twenties having raw, humorous, everyday conversations on everything from religion to sex. There are other members of the spa, ranging in all ages, who join in on the talks from time to time, some of which will be hilarious characters that the two friends are just dieing to make fun of. Which they will when their alone. Others characters will astound the 2 friends with good advice and life experiences. The show will contain a lot of dialogue.
The show would work best as a late night series running from 20 - 25 minutes in length, one night a week. The target audience for this show would be men ages 20-50
The Alien on Earth
If an alien were to land on earth and I had to show them what comedy central was, I would create a 30 minute clip of the funniest shows. I hope that this would serve as a sample to them what comedy central is all about. If it were a person I would describe it as a liberal, funny, controversial, lively man! The type of clothes Comedy would wear would be trendy, modern in style clothes which reflect his comedic style. Comedy central would live in the lower east side or maybe Chelsea. The music I can see comedy central listening to would be a bit rock, a bit hip hop, r & b. Its favorite movies would be How High, Super Troopers, Anchorman, Braveheart, Top Gun, Southpark the Movie Pulp Fiction. Comedy would def be a close friend becuase of all that we have in common. Two images I would show the alien would be the Comedy Central logo, and an image of the Southpark kids doing something outrageous. The you tube clip would be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR8kNQXrIaw because it is the exact opposite of what Comedy Central represents and I think that would be amusing. Three shows I would show the alien would be Southpark, The Colbert Report & The Daily Show. I think this mix would show a good portion of what Comedy has to offer!!
ASSIGNMENT TWO
Hey everyone, McKay here again. Thanks for all the great blogs so far. Here is the next assignment:
If an alien were to land on Earth and you had to explain what Comedy Central was, what would you show it?

• Where would Comedy Central live?
• What kind of music would it listen to?
• Which movies would it love?
• Would Comedy Central be a friend of yours? Why or why not? Is Comedy Central you?
• What are 2 images would you show it to represent Comedy Central?
• What is 1 YouTube clip would you show them that represents the entertainment you find on Comedy Central (doesn’t have to be from a Comedy Central show)?

My new show
One of my favorite shows of all time on Comedy Central was Insomniac. I think a great idea for a show would be to do a celebrity version of insomniac where a host meets up with celebrities and stays out all night going to places the celebrity likes to hang out, and maybe some weird and unusual places as well.
I think this show would work as it would be more interesting than any celebrity interview show. A few drinks seem to always losen up a celeb, or anyone for that manner. Also the celeb might be more likely to be candid as they are in a more comfortable environment, rather than in a studio.

Tell Em Why You Mad!! The Jeremy Story!!
When I create my show, I'm going to title it "Tell em Why You Mad". This whole idea was actually created a few years back. The show would focus on the "after work" day. I pictured it as a camera following around me and my buddies and just listening to our gripes. For example when we all worked in the restaurant industry customers would ask the most rediculous food related questions. Can I have that salad with no lettuce? What the )(&*^%$##?? Thats what I wanted to say. Like **^&$# are you kidding? That would be just a small fraction of the show. It would pretty much play on the stupidity of the uninformed patron. Yet have a comical twist to it. Now that I am in finance it is no better. The whole tell em why you mad would be me reflecting in the moment (like Dave Chappelle when he was having dinner in the restaurnat w/ some guy trying to pitch his idea, Season 1 I believe), or it would be a post situation sit down like real world just letting me (or anyone on the show) rant and rave!! I think throughout the years I have compiled enough stupid questions to have this go on for quite a bit!! (Maybe a few seasons)

Awesome - thanks for saying hello everyone!
Hey, this is Jeff - I work with McKay. Thanks for saying hello everyone. We're all gonna meet at the focus group next week.
Andrew, I could watch a bunch of high guys just hanging out - it'd probably be hilarious.
Question: what kinds of things / activities would they do to make it hilarious and off the wall?

Assignment 1
Think it would be hilarious to have a show about 3 roommates who are high the entire show. It would be premise-less, kind of like Seinfeld, but they're high the whole time. Some of my favorite scenes in movies depict people who are high, the beginning of Supertroopers for example. Don't know how much long term appeal that show would have, but it might be funny. It could cover a range of topics, from serious to trivial, all through the eyes of 3 high guys. It would likely appeal to a younger crowd, and while funny, it could still comment on real issues. Hmm, think I might actually write that one...
ASSINGMENT ONE: IF YOU HAD A SHOW...
Hey everyone. Thanks for all of your posts so far. Sounds like we have pretty smart group of people here so I'm going to start off with a question that is a little more challenging:
IF YOU HAD A SHOW ON COMEDY CENTRAL, WHAT WOULD THAT SHOW BE AND WHY WOULD IT BE THAT WAY?
• What is the premise of your show? What’s it about?
• What would be the purpose of the show? Would it provide social commentary?
• Who would watch the show? Why would they watch it?
• Who would some of the other characters be?
• Would it be based on your life? Perhaps something that is far from your life?
• Is your show a series that continues from show to show, season to season? Or are they one-offs that are not in a series?
The bullets are just thought starters. You don’t have to answer them in order; in fact you don’t even have to answer them if you have a different way to bring your show idea to life. And, if come across an image or video on the internet that helps bring your show idea to life, please include it.
As always, let me know if you have any questions along the way.
Thanks,
McKay

Greetings
My name is Dave and I live in here in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. No, I don't dress up to go dancing at "the club" on Saturday night but thank you for asking. My main interest is of the malted barley family as I'm a beer snob and avid homebrewer. What better to go with making and drinking beer? If you guessed yoga and marathons, you're close. It's actually watching TV and movies. The two channels on my favorites are Comedy Central and Military Channel. The latter only because there is no better way to enter a slumber that than with a soundtrack of Wings of the Luftswaffe. Besides my daily dose of Jon Stewart, I've been a long time fan of South Park, "I hate you Kenney..." Drawn Together and more recently Reno 911. While one of my favorites, Crank Yankers, hasn't seen airtime in years, I do get my dose of "That's just plain wrong but I can't stop laughing" from whatever is on the Secret Stash on late weekend nights. If I have one complaint of the channel is that is it always a few click louder than the rest. Whenever I turn on The Daily Show I always have to turn the volume down.
If you like The Beer Garden, don't miss Radegast in Williamsburg. I think it has the same owners. No better place in the city to get your liter on with some great German and Czech beer.

Hey
Hey guys,
I'm Andrew originally from Chicago. I live down on Houston with my two college buddies. We all went to Michigan and are huge fans. Huge in the sense that we are crazy fans, not huge in physical stature. I'm an actor, and since that doesn't cut it yet I'm also a personal trainer. And since that doesn't cut it yet, I'm doing this focus group. I was originally pulled into watching Comedy Central because I think Jon Stewart is brilliant. I didn't get to see his monologue at the Oscars - heard it wasn't great though. Looking forward to meeting y'all. I think northern people should use "y'all" by the way. The rednecks got it right. It's really easier and sounds cooler to just say y'all instead of "you guys". Take it or leave it.

Hello
My name is Michael. I also live in Astoria with my girlfriend. I work for Donald Trump, seriously. I like sports too, glad the Giants won but I'm more of a Steelers fan because I grew up near there. Beer Garden is cool, but a little overcrowded. I'm into film, going to galleries and museums, snow boarding, starting to get into sailing. I like Comedy Central because I like comedy which is raw and edgy, stuff that you just can't believe you heard on TV but you're dying laughing because it's true.
Please allow me to indroduce myself....
hello fellow team members. My name is Matt and I am from Queens, NY. I am married and my wife and I live in Astoria. I am attorney that currently works in LIC for an insurance company. My hobbies and interests include rooting for the Super Bowl Champion NY Giants, sparring at my karate dojo on the Upper West Side, video games, and getting a drink, or 5, at the legendary beer garden in Astoria.
My favorite Comedy Central show is South Park. Looking forward to new episodes starting up now that the writer's strike is over.

Hi everyone, my name is McKay and I'll be posting assignments and asking questions.
I'll go first in introducing myself and telling you all a little bit about me.
I work in advertising and research for a company in NYC. I love my job because I get to spend all day learning about different types of people and what they love in their lives.
I live in Manhattan with 2 roommates. They are my friends from college. I'm a huge sports fan and try to get together with friends after work. I also love to check out new bars and restaurants in the city.
I like watching Comedy Central because it always makes me laugh, and totally helps me relax after work. Plus, I love talking about some of the shows with my friends the next day.
Since I work in advertising, I decide to include a link to this commercial which I think is great because I love sports and I think it's a cool way to capture the competitiveness that I love.
