Coolio's my boss.

not quite as deranged as I wanted but still hilarious

"prepare for mist"

the Paul revelation is what I was really hoping for

lol @ dengue survivors

WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF

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

Hasn't Frank's penis done enough already?

"they're both very real"

the therapist video so well done.

"It was a crazy, crazy, crazy-ass schedule, shooting all 10 episodes in 5 days"

wow

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

wrap-up episode was disappointing, going full-circle back to tame reality-show parody

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

hah yeah i was also like "nothing about frank's penis?" but i loved his transformation into LA douchebro

"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?

Remember they threw cloudy drink in his face by accident?

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

Blogging in hell.

hell is other people's personal-brand blogging

The cuts to the harsh, extended shrieking of the audience were great.

u guys are crazy, this was the best ending possible

ya. it's all about the context maaaan.

cast should have done post-interview on today now.

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

lolllll

okay: the institutional grates on the windows and the guest basket of pumpernickel

gotta stay true to yourself

"Sex House, by correctly representing the class struggle as one between cast and producers, refuses this ideology."

ummm... http://jacobinmag.com/2012/10/sex-house-and-the-refusal-to-fuck/

haha i love jacobin so much

i just feel like that article is 1000x less radical and interesting than the series itself.
