Freshman year at Harding University, studies were our number one priority, right behind eating Taco Bell, watching episodes of Dragon "Ball" Z in their original squeaky Japanese, and filming monkeys doing parodies of the O'Reilly Factor. Provided here for your amusement are those very tapes (I mean about monkeys, not DBZ).

Kyle Sapp, Nic Swayne and myself, termed the "Boyz Under the Hood" because it seemed funny at the time, filmed a pilot episode (named, somewhat counterintuitively, "The Pilot") for a comedy skit program for Harding's Channel 16 ("Motto: In Case 700 Hours of Chapel a Week Just Isn't Enough!"). We did this because, and this makes so little sense it's not even funny, Channel 16 asked us to. So we did it, gave it to them, and they promptly never looked at it. We got the professor in charge to watch the pilot, after which he, laughing hysterically, informed us that he could not show it, on account of it was no longer his job to approve these tapes, as of that very day.

Thus began a long adventure involving pestering just about every professor in the Communications Department, all of whom conveniently changed jobs on the day that they watched our pilot. We never filmed another episode, except for one little bit at Disney World that promptly got eaten by my evil camera. But never you mind, because the FULL PILOT EPISODE IS HERE FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT! You can download the individual skits in WMV form below. We hope you enjoy them.
