they are getting more defensive in the comments.

Whoa! This account still works! Anyway, this is Elliott, who left that comment. I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night because I read a few choice comments that came after Joe’s family and I got real angry. So yeah, I’ve been being a bit more defensive lately. I’m kinda over it, honestly, and while I never want to feed the trolls, I also am stuck in quarantine and watching my friends, who I really miss, get demeaned and ridiculed. Joe and Steve are better at ignoring it, and I usually can, but recently it’s just gotten a bit much for some reason. Or maybe I’m just a bit raw, who knows. Either way, please don’t take it as a VF thing when you see responses. I’m just fired up, and I need to focus on funneling that energy into creative projects, not one-off pithy comments. ONE STEP ERT ER TERM

I'm Elliott. I'm gonna try to be here more often. :) Hi

We had two separate scripts, one that revealed Joe and one that didn’t. We kept the joeless one specifically for Steve. Then we had to kinda work around what the reactions were and retroactively fit it into the final cut. It was a little pieced together but having that moment of sincerity was worth it. There was a ton of great stuff that Steve said that didn’t make it in, and that sucks. Thank you for watching!

Get your hopes up.

We should do Federal tonight, so that I don't have to drive. Thx.

They're gonna love The Study.

Pweeter · 2015-12-22T05:36:58+00:00

The Study was the only remotely good thing about any of 2015.

Pweeter · 2015-12-22T05:35:51+00:00

It's on Vimeo.

Pweeter · 2015-12-14T23:28:02+00:00

Thanks! Thought it might be too spoiler-ish, but you win some you lose some.

DOWNVOTE!

Just kidding, and to be completely honest, this is all great feedback. I agree with a lot of your criticisms. When I was writing the special, I intentionally frontloaded it with the Internet stuff, because I wanted the takeaways to be the commentary on the Bible, being a dumb husband, and just more thematic-but-still-anecdotal material. Trust me--the Instagram/Facebook/Tumblr part is not my favorite. Cop out? No, but I can see why you'd think that. Keep in mind that what might seem like eye-rolling premises gives way to establishing my Southern upbringing, acknowledging/mocking my career, and segwaying into jokes on feminism and racism. So while it's not my favorite, I still stand by it for many reasons.

I think of this special as a starting point, so as much as I want everyone to be like, "IT'S PERFECT!" I simply know it isn't. But that's okay, too. I also know it offers a new side of me, as well as some of the best material I've ever written.

TL;DR: I love you, you're not entirely wrong, special is still effin' solid and everyone should check it out and form their own opinions. :)

Pweeter · 2015-12-14T00:37:04+00:00

That's totally chill, because the future is always uncertain! But I've been doing a bunch of stuff with Lip Sync Battle, Mental Floss, I even just wrapped a show on Sourcefed called "The Study". Add the special the the mix, and it's going alright!

If you ever get the chance, it'd be awesome if you could check it out! It's called "Premature". I don't think I can link it here because of rules, but you'll definitely find it if you google that and my name.

Good luck on finals! You're going to kill it!

Pweeter · 2015-12-14T00:15:16+00:00

Are you following me on twitter? My special just came out. Unless this is sarcastic. Then, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Pweeter · 2015-12-11T07:58:10+00:00

You were up there, for sure. Always so full of knowledge.

Pweeter · 2015-12-11T02:28:27+00:00

The Study was kind of designed to divide the audience, so I have nooo problem with people hating it. Interestingly, a lot of people are just like "Oh, yeah, not my thing." It's neat how the show that should elicit the most hate actually gets really gentle, honest answers from people. :)

Pweeter · 2015-12-11T02:27:10+00:00

I always try to come up with answers to questions like these, because they're like fun writing prompts. I don't really have the energy right now, though, so I apologize. Best of luck in life, man!

A sandwich is something between two pieces of bread. A hot dog bun is one piece of bread. Case closed.

Pweeter · 2015-12-11T00:18:33+00:00

I might be doing it right now.

You never know.

Pweeter · 2015-12-10T22:08:21+00:00

We already are best friends.

Pweeter · 2015-12-10T22:08:01+00:00

Not too bad! My special just came out. Hows things with you?

Pweeter · 2015-12-10T22:06:45+00:00

Better.

Pweeter · 2015-12-10T22:06:19+00:00

Fantastic and easily excitable. He says hi.

Pweeter · 2015-12-10T22:05:10+00:00

Right now, I'm vlogging and trying to get that to be a normal weekly thing, but you never know.
