this is my rejected channel 101 pilot from 2007! channel 101 was, and still is, an open community of talented but underemployed filmmakers and comedians in LA that gave rise to some of my favorite funny stuff of all time. it was the stomping grounds of rick & morty creators justin roiland and dan harmon as well as the place where the lonely island’s early work was shown. the weekly screenings at cinespace were/are competitive and anyone could/can submit. nothing longer than 5 minutes allowed. check out their archives, there are tons of funny shows in there including my all-time favorite yacht rock as well as most extraordinary space investigations and house of cosbys, which were also huge inspirations to me when i made this little thing with my friends austin, katie and dave. it was never screened by channel 101. i’ve always suspected that dan and rob schrab and a handful of other channel101ers probably watched it along with many other submissions, deemed it not funny enough to screen and that was that.
