2010, the year of great Phalco comments.

It's fun to see a random email or YouTube comment come through from projects of the past. We rarely follow up on old projects and websites but every now and then I'll look down at my phone and see an email that features a comment on something we've done. Since the debut of The 40 Year Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It trailer the comments have been rolling in. Here's two gems we received earlier this week. My opinion, the best fucking comments we've ever gotten. Enjoy...

"One of the few rules I've lived my life by: Never listen to a guy with a goatee like the douche in this trailer. That rule has never let me down." –YouTube comment on Destroying Jonah Hill - Trailer 1 (2008)

"Tell me where can I order that maid from Spacebook who will eat my p*ssy and then clean my house." –Email comment on Phalco Sketch Comedy Stage Show (2009)

Kimmel 4 COCO

I'm proud to say that I work on the same street as Mr. Kimmel. Even prouder to say that myself and Roach had a chance to hang out in his green room once upon a time. Either way, well done my friend. It's nice to see the biggest piece of shit in late night get slammed on his own show. Now if NBC would just let Letterman through the gates to have a sit down with the "BIG JAW" life would be perfect.

Fuck Leno. I'm with COCO.

Talkin' Playoff Blues

Cincy sucks – good thing they're great at flopping in the playoffs.

New England can die – nothing better than seeing Brady go home in tears.

Baltimore is a rubbish pile – can't wait to watch them lose.

Every other team – don't care, don't care, don't care.

Steelers are still better than the Browns. Why? Because Cleveland sucks. See you in the fall bitches.


A man goes to the Pittsburgh Steelers ticket office and inquires about purchasing play-off tickets. The ticket teller replies that there weren't any tickets for sale because the Steelers did not make it to the play-offs.

The following day the same man goes to the Pittsburgh Steelers ticket office and inquires about purchasing Steelers play-off tickets. The ticket teller politely replies that there weren't any tickets for sale because the Steelers did not make it to the play-offs.

This goes on for an entire week. The man goes to the Steelers ticket office inquiring about play-off tickets and the teller says none are for sale because the Steelers did not make it to the play-offs.

Another week of this goes by and the man still is asking the ticket teller about Steelers play-off tickets.
Finally the ticket teller in a loud voice says, "I'VE TOLD YOU FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS THERE WERE NOT ANY TICKETS AVAILABLE BECAUSE THE STEELERS DID NOT MAKE THE PLAY-OFFS!"

"I know," the man replied, "I drive all the way from Cleveland just to hear you say that!"

The cyclical nature of the Universe compels us to revisit past truths to divine future events.

Wow, has my life changed! I need to read over my journals and marvel at the journey I've taken. It's one of those things: I thought I was heading somewhere, and I fully expected to get there, but I'm still surprised that it all actually worked out! I never really knew if I was on the right track or if I was just deluding myself with thoughts of better days. As confident as I've been along this unorthodox path, it was impossible to shake the fear of abject failure, the fear that my life would stay similar, the fear that I would get a degree and still have no direction, no friends, and no hope.

I've always been a proponent of the intuitively led life; I've always had faith that each answer to life's big questions resided somewhere in my subconscious; I've always believed that my optimal path would unfold around me as long as I paid attention to signs and hunches. I've seen indications that these beliefs were true, but until recently I hadn't been completely blown away by them. Along the way, situations and moments would pop up and I'd think, "Ok, yeah. There is something to this whole intuition thing." But lately, for the first time, events have caused me to stop wondering if I was correct in living this life.

As of now, I am sure of it! Completely following your heart is not only the most interesting way to live, but it's also the easiest way to get all that you desire! Hell, maybe it's the only way, I dunno, but it's my chosen way, and I'm absolutely thrilled to see what comes next!

[This could have been written tonight, but it was written April 11th, 2006. Just as I was then, I am still grateful for my friends, my ability to dream, my ability to reinvent myself, and my ability to persevere through the dark recesses of my mind. Here's a prayer to the new decade: May we all become greater than we have ever been and continue on towards the bliss of our souls.]
