'If you had to commit a crime, what would it be?' 'Murder.' 'Oookay, thank you very much.'

Haha!

Am I talking to the pizza or reacting to the pizza?

I looked at the rest of Mikala Bierma's stuff on her tumblr and was unsure if she meant to be insanely massively annoying in a faux-humorous way or was trying to be humorous and was just missing and falling into a pit of insanely, massively annoying by accident.

BUT THEN I found her 'Disappointing Gay Best Friend' series and have decided that she is brilliant and amazing and I forgive her all her trespasses.

"Can you do it a little less lustful?"

Never.

Is the "uncastable" designation supposed to be ironic?
posted by DU at 10:36 AM on November 16, 2011

I guess we are supposed to sympathize with the actor, so yes, ironic.

Also, "it scans pdfs wirelessly, which is SO Beyonce!"

Uncastable didn't quite do it for me, but Disappointing Gay Best Friend is hilarious.

I like the part at the where the female off-camera voive keeps pressing Bobby Finger on what crime he would commit and he finally says: "murder?"

Also, in case it didn't come through: I loved uncastable. I wish there were more. And I'd like some behind-the-scenes. I guess the unseen casting agents must be improving their critiques and requests?

Can you try it without the wig?
This isn't a wig.
No way.

Hahahaha.

Loved these!

It reminded me of this related and seasonal offering: The Santa Sessions.

If this is real, I'm amazed more casting agents (or whatever the fuck those... gits are called) don't end up with their heads caved in.

This is really really funny.

Was this directed by Aaron Sorkin? The dialog had the rhythm of Josh and Toby arguing on the West Wing.

I would have sworn this was a gag, until I participated in a commercial filmed in our facility last month. The "Director" asked me a bunch of questions I hadn't been prepped for, then gave me directions almost exactly like these. "OK, that's good, but give me more ACTION WORDS!" "No, not a visible smile, just give me the IDEA of a smile, like you just thought of something brilliant". What they ended up using was me incredulously saying "Oh wow!" in a moment I didn't even know they were filming, in reaction to a question so ridiculous, I didn't even know how to respond to it.

I found her 'Disappointing Gay Best Friend' yt series
I am certain that Tyler-friend will *snap*, any episode now!! Amusing series - he does the simmer well.

Tyler Coates, the gay friend in DGF could be a doppelganger for Jesse Tyler Ferguson, one of the ensemble actors from Modern Family.

The way he flicks his eyes at the camera is priceless. It reminds me of April in Parks and Recreation.

Hm. I wonder if it is real. All 3 of these people are googleable, and appear to be real actors.
posted by schmod at 9:09 PM on November 16, 2011

holy shit that was funny. It seems that these actors weren't prepped at all, or they're really good actors and deserve to get a lot more work.
posted by rattleandhum at 7:07 AM on November 17, 2011

It is not "real," i.e. the casting agents are actors too.

they're really good actors and deserve to get a lot more work

Don't they all. ;)
