Corona - Drink Responsibly

I bet you thought that with all of Random Acts partying through the weekend we wouldn't have a sketch ready for this week. Well you would be wrong. Would you like a Corona as a consolation prize.

Corona - Drink Responsibly


There is some significance to this sketch that you may not realize. It is the first sketch that we shot in Hi-Definition. Too bad that YouTube doesn't support HD content. It doesn't support SD all that well either, to be honest. So we found this great site known as, Vimeo, that does what YouTube won't.

Watch us on Vimeo HD

Wait! There's more!
We've been feeling nostalgic here at Random Acts HQ so we're releasing a retrospective on Season 4 of our show. Watch it here on this neat embedded YouTube playlist.


Thanks for watching. See you next week for "The Departed 2"

The Secret History of the Planet Earth

I don't usually post unless we have a new video, but this seems to merit mentioning. There is something weird about TV tonight. Of course, tonight is the annual airing of the 10 Commandments on ABC, so I checked to see what else is on.

First round through the stations; they are mostly movies. E! is airing The Big Lebowski. Family Channel has The Sound of Music. Sci-Fi is showing Pterodactyl with Coolio. Mean Girls is on TBS. Lifetime has Real Women have Curves. Castaway is on TNT.

None of those are terribly significant on their own. It's when it all hits at once that I begin to wonder. I continue my search. Pacers are playing Boston. Bam Margera is getting married on MTV. Animal Planet is going on some prehistoric safari with modern men looking for CG woolly mammoths. Discover Channel, no it can't be, a biography of the iceberg that sank the titanic. Where it came from, why it did what it did, all that.

WAIT! What's this? That's impossible. The History Channel, in all its infinite wisdom, is airing The Planet of the Apes. I'll give you a second to contain yourself. The History Channel, a bastion of historical accuracy, bent on pulling every bit of awesome out of WWII, is presenting The Planet of the Apes. Here's how I see it. Since ABC has Charlton Heston in The 10 Commandments, History thought they should fight fire with fire. Heston vs Heston in a battle for the ages.

I can't pretend to tell you what all this really means. I see it as an omen, a sign of something larger than you, larger than me. Only Heston knows the truth. An anomaly in time/space has placed us in a world were apes have taken over and only the History Channel knows that it was earth all along.

It's a Mad House!

Faceybook Newsfeed

So a certain social networking site aimed at college students has added a new feature allowing you to know everything about your friends as it happens. Faceybook as we see it has gone too far.

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3


This is the first sketch of the new season. Hope you dig it.

ps: For nostalgia and archival purposes we've put up two old sketches; Monster in the Stall and Roofie. Freshman year was weird.

Re-Introduction

We have a new cast this semester so we created a new introduction video. We won't be airing our show on TV anymore, but we kept up the tradition of raising the bar anyway. It is (I did the math, trust me.) 100 times more complicated than the last intro. Hope you dig it.



Music by Coconut Monkeyrocket, they're down with the CC too.

Addendum: I've gotten some requests for a hi-res version of the comic. So here are two wallpapers for the fans.

Welcome Back

Whats happenin' everybody?
We're back on the air for a new semester an a new season. We've got big plans ahead.
Coming soon we will have new video hosting on our school's server space and a new service called BUtube, highlighting all the great content generated by Butler students.
We've got a new cast with 16 people, so we've decided to start trying to release one new video a week, instead of our old episodic format. Speaking of episodes, there are two parts left in our nerf action adventure, "Random Action" so stay tuned for the thrilling conclusion.

I hope you like our new style,
Ewzzy
