That was great. Love the running blog gag. But no follow up about Frank's penis?

Hasn't Frank's penis done enough already?

wrap-up episode was disappointing, going full-circle back to tame reality-show parody, but the previous 9 were so great i don't really mind

"The ten episodes we did are basically what we wanted to do all along. We've talked about doing some kind of second season but I doubt it will happen."

I would have liked Ep10 to be a reunion still in the reality of the Crysts - audience force-marched in to watch them after they've created a semi-functioning Sex House society or something.

ep 10 was great

I didn't find it disappointing at all. I wouldn't endorse a second season, though, so I'm glad that's not happening.

I think ten eps and thatsyerlot is exquisite and correct but then I come from the land of Fawlty Towers and The Day Today and so forth

i appreciated the concept of ep 10, but i wish they hadn't mentioned the purgatory thing or anything like that

"We never settled on how much time passed between 9 and 10. A few Crysts, to be sure. We wanted ten to be a total reset. In nine they've given up all hopes of being normal human beings, and in ten they are well into the only lives now available to them as former reality tv show rejects. They have been destroyed. That is how our comedy webseries ends."

Wait, why is the host blind? Cloudy drink?

Plasmon, Thursday, 13 September 2012 22:24 (8 months ago) Permalink

Remember they threw cloudy drink in his face by accident?

DARING PRINCESS (DJP), Thursday, 13 September 2012 22:25 (8 months ago) Permalink

That was a subtle punchline, I thought, to the whole thing. He's still performing his smug role even though he was blinded! Loved the "oh, I just gave away the baby" stuff, too, and that Frank has had no contact with the twins he had with his therapist.

there's brutal satire in how life must, at all costs, go on - it has to because you need to update your blog every day or risk losing readership and thus reasons to keep going on with life!

i think they are probably now in hell tbh

I have no idea how a second season could have been possible, but I'll watch whatever I see these guys next.

erm I'll watch whatever these guys do next, rather.

Would not watch all-frog San Diego Sex House, tbh.

I have one sexy question. Did you ever consider having Derek "not make it" to the reunion show to help the episode 9 story?

OnionDigitalStudios[S] 11 points 7 hours ago

There was an early draft where Derek killed himself between episodes 8 and 9, and it would be barely referenced in 9. The audience would just see his body in the background of a couple shots. But after talking about it we decided that we wanted to stay true to Derek's character and make him a heterosexual maître d'hôtel employed by Coolio. That just made more sense. - MP

Dunno if it's all that farfetched -- the New York based video dudes have been throwing in big chunks of Communism lately (the weather report that starts as a lame "hipster" joke) and have reason to be pissed at the bosses. Enjoy this stuff while it's here.
