THIS IS NOT DETROIT, MAN
February 1st, 2010Forest Hills State of Mind
January 19th, 2010Peanut butter met chocolate and created the ultimate relationship. Earth met Wind and then Fire and they created wonderful music. Now we bring you the Universe’s greatest melding of elements: Billy Eichner and Rachel Dratch performing Forest Hills State of Mind, a parody so great you forget it was ever a spoof of Jay-Z and Alicia Key’s Empire State of Mind!
Presenting the etc production of Forest Hills State of Mind:
Damn. This video is getting under NY’s skin like a hipster bed bug. Here are some mentions about town:
When you say “teenage,” how old are we talking?
January 16th, 2010Thought-provoking.
Forest Hills State of Mind drops soon!
January 14th, 2010Billy Eicher. Rachel Dratch. Amy Albert. Etc Productions. Coming very soon.

December 29th, 2009You Tube has yet to bring about peace on Earth. It has brought us some grandmas and a rollercoaster.

Etc… at the Pit this Saturday night! Last performance (for awhile)!
December 16th, 2009Guess what? Look under your desk.
What is it? It’s a present, silly!
Of course, it’s for you — who else would we have bought it for?
Open it up. Go ahead! We want to see your face when you see what it is.
So what do you think?
What is it? It’s the last show of etc… at the PIT and it’s this Saturday night at 7pm, you chubby cherub! And it’s in your size.
No, don’t worry about getting us something. We just thought you’d like it. We suppose we didn’t make an impression on you enough to justify buying us a present this year. No biggie. You can make it up to us some other time.
Actually, if you really want to, you could make it up this weekend. Saturday night, in fact! You could come to the show.
Great! So it’s settled. We’ll see you at 7pm for the last performance of etc… at the PIT. Oh, and as a special stocking stuffer, we’ll be premiering a new video from our buddies, Skinny Bitch Jesus Meeting. See you there!

Spooky
November 25th, 2009On November 24, 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald, purported assassin of President John F Kennedy, was shot by Jack Ruby at the Dallas Police Headquarters. On November 23, 2009, almost exactly 46 years later to the day, Food Network personality Paula Deen was hit in the face with a ham during a charity event in Atlanta, Georgia.
Compare the photos. First, Robert H Jackson’s iconic photo of the murder of Oswald, the second, the attack on Paula, videographer photographer unknown.
The similarities are chilling.
Look through the looking glass here, people: white is black, black is white! Get your head down, because when you least expect it, there might be a ham headed straight to your face. Just be thankful for what you got! Goddamn it, it’s Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Love,

I’m sure I’ve seen this ploy on Craiglist
November 16th, 2009The Colonel gets his freak on.
A group of party girls got more than they bargained for when they were recruited to attend a posh do in Rome on Sunday night.
Instead of canapés and cocktails, the 200 young women found themselves being encouraged to become Muslims.
It turned out the host was Libya’s leader, Col Muammar Gaddafi, in town for the UN food summit.
Baguette to the Future!
November 10th, 2009A chunk of crusty bread was found in the Large Hadron Collider:
The rehabilitation of the beleaguered Large Hadron Collider was on hold tonight after the failure of one of its powerful cooling units caused by an errant chunk of baguette.
Scientists are unsure how the baguette ended up there. I’d like to offer an hypothesis: the Collider created a wormhole, and this baguette is from the future. A time-traveling baguette, people! Why has it come to this time and place? Global leavening? To put a bet on the Miami winning the World Series? No. Odds on chance, I’d say, the bread traveled through time just to play catch with his son. What a sentimental so-and-so.

etc will scare the shit out of you
October 29th, 2009Sorry, we came up behind you like that. Did we scare you? Totally the point! You see etc… is getting ready for the 2nd Biannual etc… Spook-out at the PIT this Saturday night.
Wait! Did you just hear that? It was a ghost — a ghost with a massive credit card debt who has been cursed to spend eternity looking for a lower APR! Jesus. Scary.
Anyway, where were we? Right! etc… plans on scaring the shit out of you for a full hour this Saturday night at the PIT.
First up, imagine, if you will, a set of eerie improvisation with each actor performing in a costume! Next, prepare yourself for a bloody banquet of new sketches. All of this will culminate in a public execution…of an all-new web series from etc…
The more people who come to the show, the less likely it is that New York City will be overrun by goblins intent on exposing our children to video games featuring mature content. Don’t say we didn’t warn you…spookily. Mwa ha ha ha ha!

etc… defends its improvisation crown at the 2009 Sketchprov Festial tonight!
October 22nd, 2009Please stop the accusations. We admit that we’re guilty: etc… encouraged that family in Colorado to “misplace” a child in a misguided attempt to publicize the troupe’s return to the 2009 Sketchprov Festival at the PIT. We had the best of intentions in pretending that we had launched a child into space, we swear! In last year’s Sketchprov, we won the improvisation bracket and, if not for being defeated by Audience of Two, would have won the whole ball of wax. This year we’re going ALL THE WAY (just like your mom)!
We want people to support us at this year’s festival because your votes will determine if we advance to the next round. In fact, if you don’t come to our preliminary match-up, we may have to launch that entire dumb-ass family into space. For real. Don’t make us do it. Because then you’ll have to listen to stories about the Balloon Boy forever. Or at least until the balloon is shot down by the Pakistani military.

October 13th, 2009Some background: last year, Audience of Two defeated etc… to win the Sketchprov crown at the PIT.
Then, just last week, Audience of Two launched this salvo at Battleship etc…
This aggression will not stand! etc… fires back! Audience of Two, en garde!
Next year in Jerusalem
October 5th, 2009I’m not sure if this makes a lot of sense or no sense at all.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad revealed to have Jewish past
A photograph of the Iranian president holding up his identity card during elections in March 2008 clearly shows his family has Jewish roots.
I’m stumped.
etc… on CNN Headline News
October 1st, 2009Eagle-eyed etc… fan Todd informs the central office that the troupe’s NY1 piece ran on Morning Express on CNN Headline News this morning. Video forthcoming, if we can find it.
Next up, watch Gene get potty-trained by The Dog Whisperer, Cesar Milan, on The National Geographic Channel.
