Thanks dudes who like my character and dude who says we're gay. To answer ManCowTurkey's question, we started off with more sketches in the show (CHTV's), but found that people were more into the storylines and the type of stuff they couldn't find on the website.Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009
I believe there's going to be at least one Jake and Amir standalone segment in the remaining episodes. (The first season is six total eps.)Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009
Yep, his name is Adam and he's a cool dude.Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009
MTV is pretty hands-off, believe it or not. Since we're the production company, we handle everything from start to finish, and they only chime in to approve scripts and give guidance where they can help. They've been great.We actually didn't know who the sponsors would be until we saw the show on the air, so that didn't factor in.

hah, i miss that too.Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009
I guess we'll know in the next few months. Those things take a while.I think the whole "MTV doesn't play music videos" thing is hilarious. The reason they stopped playing them is because nobody watches the channel when they do. It would obviously be cheaper for them to play videos instead of creating shows, so there's clearly a reason why they don't. If you were MTV would you play something that made everybody change the channel?

MTV first contacted us about a year ago. They wanted to put something together using the CHTV's and Hardly Workings.

Well, I appreciate you watching. We first were going to do a sketch-based show, but when we took it to focus groups, they said "we want to see more of the office stuff since we can see CH sketches on the web whenever we want to."I think it was the right choice, I'm really proud of the format of the show and it's only getting better as we learn the television world.

Josh and I never really had long term expectations for it for most of the beginning, we just kind of took it day by day.

Josh and I never really had long term expectations for it for most of the beginning, we just kind of took it day by day. But within the past few years we definitely wanted it to become a brand that people were into not just online (in movies tv, books, tours, etc).We had a message board a few years ago.

Thanks dudes who like my character and dude who says we're gay. To answer ManCowTurkey's question, we started off with more sketches in the show (CHTV's), but found that people were more into the storylines and the type of stuff they couldn't find on the website.Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009

MTV is pretty hands-off, believe it or not. Since we're the production company, we handle everything from start to finish, and they only chime in to approve scripts and give guidance where they can help. They've been great.We actually didn't know who the sponsors would be until we saw the show on the air, so that didn't factor in.

I guess we'll know in the next few months. Those things take a while.I think the whole "MTV doesn't play music videos" thing is hilarious. The reason they stopped playing them is because nobody watches the channel when they do. It would obviously be cheaper for them to play videos instead of creating shows, so there's clearly a reason why they don't. If you were MTV would you play something that made everybody change the channel?

I guess we'll know in the next few months. Those things take a while.I think the whole "MTV doesn't play music videos" thing is hilarious. The reason they stopped playing them is because nobody watches the channel when they do. It would obviously be cheaper for them to play videos instead of creating shows, so there's clearly a reason why they don't. If you were MTV would you play something that made everybody change the channel?

Yeah, it's pretty good! Rob emailed us the week the shows came out to wish us luck. Very nice dude.Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009
hah, i miss that too.Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009
I guess we'll know in the next few months. Those things take a while.I think the whole "MTV doesn't play music videos" thing is hilarious. The reason they stopped playing them is because nobody watches the channel when they do. It would obviously be cheaper for them to play videos instead of creating shows, so there's clearly a reason why they don't. If you were MTV would you play something that made everybody change the channel?

MTV first contacted us about a year ago. They wanted to put something together using the CHTV's and Hardly Workings. That eventually evolved into the narrative format we have now.Random example of a thing that we couldn't say was "wet snuggle." We had to replace it with "weiner kiss." That's in the episode "Sarah's New Boyfriend."

Check out another episode and see what you think.Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009
Writing an episode takes about a week. MTV has the final say since it's their air.Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009
A bit, but mostly scripted. If we're fortunate enough to do more seasons and have more time for each episode, we'll probably do more improvising.Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009
Every one except BBG will probably be on this season.Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009

We'd love to go on those shows, we'd just have to see if they'd take us.Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009
Well, I appreciate you watching. We first were going to do a sketch-based show, but when we took it to focus groups, they said "we want to see more of the office stuff since we can see CH sketches on the web whenever we want to."I think it was the right choice, I'm really proud of the format of the show and it's only getting better as we learn the television world.

i think we use DVX's? HVX's? Vinny or Sam can answer that better.We had 60 hot girls in the office that day. It was a sight to see.
Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009
Also a question for Sam, though I know we do shoot in HD and it's broadcast in SD.Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009

We're definitely cutting back on the old stuff, but there will be some stuff in there so we can showcase some of our favorites to a new audience. Hopefully it won't be too bad for ya.Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009
Went to a bar. Really.Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009
On the show, it's what is acceptable for TV.On the site, we bleep out some stuff so we can run ads on the video. If a video is too dirty already, we'll just mark it "not safe for advertisers" and leave it unbleeped.
Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009
Watch it on the TV. It's better that way.Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009
We basically took the crew from the office and said "hey guess what, you're now on a TV show."Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009
Reading this post was like putting together a puzzle, but I think I understand what he means.So, thanks for watching! Glad you like the show!

Real deal. Got home from a friend's birthday party, still have some energy in me before bed, and decided to chime in.Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009
if we do more episodes, there could be arcs that span more episodes. but for now, we're going to crawl before we run.Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009

we mostly get recognized in bars near colleges. and it's mostly from the website, not the show. at least for now.Ricky Van Veen February 22, 2009
that's why we continue to hire people right out of school, to keep the blood fresh.Ricky Van Veen February 22, 2009
glad you like that format better. it's how it'll be most of the way forward.Ricky Van Veen February 22, 2009
Hmm... Dan wrote a lot of those jokes you mentioned... so maybe he's giving himself the best lines! Caught, Dan!Ricky Van Veen February 22, 2009
if there's more seasons...Ricky Van Veen February 22, 2009
Josh. Yup, he runs the business side of things. He's also an exec producer on the show.Ricky Van Veen February 22, 2009

Hmm... i think there might be a room that hasn't been seen. but we pretty much use every available space.thx!
i don't know if you can change your screen name. but if one of our dev guys is reading this, maybe he can help.
Ricky Van Veen February 22, 2009
Josh and I never really had long term expectations for it for most of the beginning, we just kind of took it day by day. But within the past few years we definitely wanted it to become a brand that people were into not just online (in movies tv, books, tours, etc).We had a message board a few years ago. We took it down because it became too much of a hassle to run and too insular. I like that the community now is based around the content.
Ricky Van Veen February 22, 2009
decision is yes.Ricky Van Veen February 22, 2009
we mostly talk about how much we love jake also.Ricky Van Veen February 22, 2009

Thanks dudes who like my character and dude who says we're gay. To answer ManCowTurkey's question, we started off with more sketches in the show (CHTV's), but found that people were more into the storylines and the type of stuff they couldn't find on the website.Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009
I believe there's going to be at least one Jake and Amir standalone segment in the remaining episodes. (The first season is six total eps.)Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009
Yep, his name is Adam and he's a cool dude.Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009
MTV is pretty hands-off, believe it or not. Since we're the production company, we handle everything from start to finish, and they only chime in to approve scripts and give guidance where they can help. They've been great.We actually didn't know who the sponsors would be until we saw the show on the air, so that didn't factor in.
Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009
It's definitely been an adjustment. The toughest thing is going from creating 3 min sketches with a joke every second to a well-paced 30 min story arc.Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009
Since we plan on continuing to run the website, we're going to try to get as many advertisers as will take us.Mountain Dew Voltage now runs through my veins instead of blood.
Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009
Rosie, Susanna, and Kevin are all on the writing staff for the show but yeah, they aren't show regulars. Having a cast of nine people was enough for an audience to compute. But they're in the show every so often making appearances.Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009
We started making original videos in 2006 when Sam came aboard to head up the new effort. The stuff around the office sprang out of just being jackasses with camera equipment.Ricky Van Veen February 21, 2009
