“Service Not Included” features writers and comedians sharing funny anecdotes and horror stories about their experiences working in the service industry.

Behind the Awesome, Entertainment Weekly

Remember the awesome Lady Gaga parody I did a few weeks ago? Well, it's on the "Must List" in the current issue of Entertainment Weekly! That's pretty awesome. And EW is doing a feature on Mr. Awesome himself, Mark Douglas, very soon!

BTDubs, Gaga's original video for Telephone is here, in case you haven't seen it. It's of course fascinating because it's Gaga, but you will never get those 9 minutes back. (Then again, you're on the internet right now, so using your time wisely is not one of your primary concerns, am I right? We've lost all sense of propriety! I should be reading. But Facebook is a book, no?) Anyhoo - here are a couple of videos Mark made surrounding the Telephone parody. I'm in the first one, which is a look behind-the-lens at the filmmaking process and the second one is Mark responding to YouTube comments and voice mails. They're really... awesome.
