Memberbeans: My Anti-Drug
Behold, the very first video from the very first sketch team (Those Aren't Muskets!) the two guys who made Small Beans put together! It's a parody of an anti-drug ad campaign that was on TV at the time, which dates it nicely, and is one of our few sketches to showcase the stellar comedy instincts of our own Abe Epperson and the above-average nipples of same. Where were YOU when you saw it? Demographically speaking, probably here, now.
It's choppy, it was shot on a DSLR, it's poorly lit, but he...

Hey all! Michael here. Aside from our great Small Beans Endeavors, and wrapping up The Kurt Vonneguys (see below), this week also sees the release of a guest spot I did on a great podcast called At Least There's This, about finding the silver linings that make life worth trudging through. If you like my episode about The Sun, I urge you to check out Katy Stoll and Greg Burke's episodes as well.

This is the last episode of The Kurt Vonneguys, a wonderful podcast wherein Alex Schmidt and I explored each of his works in chronological order. I'm grateful we got to complete it even after "The Event" @Cracked, but sad that we won't immediately be able to continue it in any fashion.
For now, hope you enjoy the finale episode, and if this isn't nice, I don't know what is.

Hi all! Swaim here. We've decided to occasionally post old videos we love that maybe you missed, haven't seen in years, or are insane enough to want to watch again even though you literally just finished watching them, if indeed that's the case, weirdo.
"The Coat" (2007) features some of my favorite actors ever--Brian Kelly, Sam Hunter, and Nate Turner--all getting mad at me for no reason. That's the joke; how unjustified their anger is and how sweet and innocent my guy is. It was filmed on a ...

On Love and Time Travel
***
This is a companion poem for the below Tales from the Pit episode: Dungeon Crawl (Feat. Ellen Swaim). Written by Michael.
***
Because there was so much love in me
Pumped in till I was stuffed as a tick
It was a cinch to fly backwards
Soar over years on an updraft
Like a fighter jet, fueled and armed
I streaked past a courthouse, on recon
Long-range sensors locked onto

Hey gang! Swaim here.
This is just a fun update to thank all of our fabulous Patrons, and in case you have some time to read a creepy thing.
Background: Abe and I are hard at work on a short film we intend to submit to all the finest festivals (Sturgis Movie Brawl, etc.), as well, of course, as all of the awesome Small Beans comedy beans we'll be unleashing beginning MONDAY, Dec. 11.
In the meantime, thought I'd go ahead and share this script. It's a script for a play called ...
