Don't you just hate things?

"The Disgustings" (12:12 ) is a short film starring Drew Droege and written, directed and starring Jordan Firstman. It's about two gay men living in Los Angeles who just happen to be completely, utterly awful. The Disgustings return in "Save The Date." (5:45)

I love Drew Droege to death. If you have the time, you should check out his series of Chloe Sevigny "impressions" (they sound nothing like her, but it's so hilarious). My favorite is Birthdays.

I had seen the first "Disgustings" a while ago (I think Drew Droege was on "Hey Queen") and I loved hating them, but this new one is even...worse? In a great way? Thanks for posting!

I only know Droege from Channel 101 but he's great there.

This is awful, by which I mean wonderful.

Also Drew Droege's Chloe videos are my capacity for utter joy made manifest. Highly high highly recommended.

Kind of reminds me of that one episode of that weed dealer webseries (on my phone or I'd link), down to the sucker punch at the end, but that one gets much heavier... I love a good register shift but I like that in this series they don't have a really concrete explanation for why these guys are the way they are, and that the trauma in their backstories isn't so cosmic/dramatic.

Drew Droege reads "Maya Angelou is an asshole."
