Felker here, celebrating the yuletide traditions with the fam in good ol' Huntsville, Alabama (yes, the town made famous for rednecks shooting rockets into the sky. RAWL TIDE RAWL!!!) While RTI has been laying low over the holidays this year, we've still been very busy.

Over the past few weeks, we've had the pleasure in collaborating with Modern Imbecile on a new webseries "AN IDIOT'S GUIDE TO MAKING MOVIES FOR DUMMIES" for the Slamdance Film Festival (A festival For Filmmakers By Filmmakers).

This five-part behind the scenes mockumentary follows writer/director Wallace Cotten through the laborous process of a making a movie with the two most outlandish action movie stars in all of Eurasia: Don and Lizardman. Will Wallace make his dream movie, or will this crazy duo eat him alive? (I mean, one of the guys is named LIZARDMAN. I'm pretty sure he eats people).

Find out all that and more with the

FIRST EPISODE!!!

Yeah I know. This episode is a week old, but that sugar cookie eggnog didn't drink itself!!!1

Despite my holiday drinking habits, the episode has been a smash hit ALL OVER the webz (featured on Break.com and Movieline.com!). For the time being, Don and Lizardman have taken the net by storm!

AND if you want more, check out the SECOND EPISODE, premiering today for Movieline.com!

Tune in each week for a new episode leading up to the Slamdance Film Festival in January. See how Wallace's dream movie comes together (or doesn't come together)!

And finally, Ruin The Internet will be back in 2013 (Trust us, we WILL end the Puppet Ben Saga. Pinky Promise).

Felkdawg, OUT!

]]>And the Doritos Crash the Superbowl Winner is...http://www.ruintheinternet.com/blog/2012/11/20/and-the-doritos-crash-the-superbowl-winner-is.htmlRuinTheInternet2012-11-20T19:40:33Z2012-11-20T19:40:33ZUs? Your other 20 friends that made them? Your 12 year old neighbor with a flipcam?

Hey there dummies, Chris here, and I think it's about time we showed you our entry into this year's Doritos Crash the Superbowl commercial competition!

Each year, filmmakers are challenged to make a 30 second spot for Doritos, and the winners get 1 MILLION DOLLARS (and a chance to hang with Michael Bay on Transformers 4: EXPLOSIONFORMERS!). Last year, we didn't get squat, but this year, Felker made another great commercial and we think we have a chance so long as YOU think so to!

How can you help? Well rate it 5 stars after watching! Either click this link here: http://apps.facebook.com/crashthesuperbowl?page=watch&video=4540

OR click the image below to watch!

Click this image to watch the video, and rate it 5 stars!I know it sucks to have to use the facebook app to sign in and watch, but if you do us this solid, then we will have one million dollars to buy the majority stock in facebook (once it reaches $0.02/share) and we will make it cool again.

One Love,

Chris

Hey Ruiners! (Yes, I have decided that you all will now be collectively referred to as "ruiners")

Just wanted to drop by to let you know that 'Cooking With Virgins' is being featured right now on the comedy site CMDY.com. It's an indie site that promotes a lot of great-but-uknown sketch groups and comedians, and we are really excited to be on the front page right now!

Since you obviously can't get enough of us, but we obviously can't support ourselves by making sketches about demon puppets and Herpis and Game of Thrones songs, you should go watch everything that's on their site right now and laugh and laugh and laugh until you realize you are late for work. Then curse us for telling you to watch so much comedy, which made you late. Then when you get to work, and the building has burned down with everyone trapped inside EXCEPT FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU WERE LATE, you can thank us. And CMDY. 

More sketches to come, so make sure you subscribe on youtube and constantly come to our website!

]]>"LARPers" TV Show Pilot - Produced by Chrishttp://www.ruintheinternet.com/blog/2012/7/19/larpers-tv-show-pilot-produced-by-chris.htmlRuinTheInternet2012-07-19T18:16:45Z2012-07-19T18:16:45ZHey guys, 

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am in the middle of pre-production for a tv show pilot called LARPers (Live Action Role Players).

It's a brainchild of Three Hat Productions (who you may know from many of our sketches). 

Check out the website (LarpersTvShow.com), because you can see all of the super fun pictures and promo videos, and follow along with the blog once production starts. Follow the production on Twitter (@LarpersTV) for pictures and updates. And, maybe most importantly, you can PRE-ORDER the pilot on a Name-Your-Own-Price basis, which will also help fund the production!

 

Thanks for checking it out and we will be back with more sketches soon, sorry for the recent dry spell!

We decided it would be best to just show you some of our favorites.  Most of them are directed toward us, such as this one:

But the BEST ones are slamming the girl who posted the video.

 

Now some might say that people are being a little harsh on Carly, but let's be honest, her job is to post stupid videos on a website.  Stupid videos like ours.  So thank you, Carly, for picking us. And FUCK YOU - GET A REAL JOB!

Check out the original post here, because the backlash on this blogger just keeps coming with intense fury.

And to be clear...we wash our fleshlights after each use.

Last week, Ben was a guest on the podcast "The Experts" hosted by Alexis Diana and RTI's own Chris Amick.  What the hell did he talk about? Will Smith's legendary album, WILLENIUM!  And he actually was an expert on it. Like, it was surprising how much he knows about this album. More than anyone ever should. More than Will Smith himself.

Any opportunity I get to shave a handlebar mustache onto my mug, I will take.

I think that our friends at Bottom of the Barrel Comedy decided to exploit this to the fullest in a new sketch I filmed with them last night.

Who knows when it will be up, so check out some of their other sketches below, or at www.youtube.com/botbcomedy - and you might see me popping up in a few other sketches of theirs down the road.

]]>New Puppet Ben Goes Live Today!http://www.ruintheinternet.com/blog/2012/4/9/new-puppet-ben-goes-live-today.htmlRuinTheInternet2012-04-09T08:50:19Z2012-04-09T08:50:19Z

The rumors are true. The next elusive episode of Puppet Ben has just finished uploading and will be live on the morning of April 9th (7:30am Pacific).

We promised it would happen sooner or later, and it turns out we weren't lying! No, this is not the final episode (which we are planning to make as epic as possible, what with loads of stunts and so forth) but it IS an incredibly fun and characteristically strange addition to the series.

Check our videos page here, or find us on YouTube as soon as you wake up to get your fix. If you don't. He might hurt you.

Also, if you have any questions for PB, leave them in the 'questions answered' section of our site. It's like Yahoo answers, but with the RuinTheInternet certificate of truth.
