My new short film/social media experiment - "Glirk Pasternakky, Internet Comedian"

[Josh Bass]

Ok folks. Bear with me; this is a little weird. I had the idea to do a short film/faux commercial of a comedian promoting himself. Except this comedian doesn't perform anywhere but online. Then I had the idea to take the whole thing farther and constantly write new material, in character, as this comedian, via a Facebook/Twitter page. So it's a short film/fake commercial/social media experiment (the experiment being "how long can I keep this up?" and "will anyone give a crap?"

So, Synopsis:
Glirk Pasternakky is a standup comedian. . .well, really a "sit-down" comedian--BAZUMP! See, when he tried performing live, audiences didn't get his esoteric, post-modern, Kafakaesque take on the tropes of modern existence, so he took his act out of the clubs and onto the highway. . .THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY! That's right, he only performs online via social media. He is. . .the SOCIAL coMEDIA-an.

If, on the other hand, you hate social media and everything associated with it, just [attempt to] enjoy the short film for what it is, send me $5 and a Jack-in-the-Box taco dipped in chocolate, and we'll call it a day.

Toodles!
