Twitter in Focus: Erik “Montez” Griffin

by tonyd on April 15, 2015 at 12:01 am

Hey bros!

Welcome to Twitter in Focus where media comes to die!  Today’s contestant is Erik Griffin, AKA: Montez from Workaholics.  He’s funny on the show, let’s see what he’s tweeting.

@ErikGriffin

April 9th:  “ got that ”

Alice is pretty hot on that show, but kinda evil.

April 9th:  “ That bathroom is super duper quiet, like really really quiet you can HEAR EVERTHING! ”

Behind-the-scenes stuff.  Love it.

April 9th:  “For some reason they forgot season one, was the IT guy. ”

Hmm, I did not remember that.

April 9th:  “Really Human Walrus???? I HEARD THAT!!! MOTHA FUCKA! ”

He was in that Kevin Smith movie?  I thought it was Justin Long.

April 9th:  “ ”

Well, if you’re gonna plug something, keep it short.

April 9th:  “And that’s how it all started, good night kids ”

Damn, I have to catch up on this season!

April 9th:  “You tripping if you aren’t watching ”

Well, it does have Larry Fishburne.

April 9th:  “Season finale ”

Ha!  90’s hair.

April 13th:  “I think every Indian actor in Hollywood is on or maybe I’m racist?”

Have the people at Salon not discovered the imdb?

April 13th:  “At a part will find the black women.”

Loved that dude in Unsupervised.  An incredibly underrated show that should’ve gotten more love.

April 13th:  “I’m into Lipstick feminist.”

Is that plural for feminist or just a typo?  Should it be feminists?  Or is it like elk?

April 13th:  “Hey all my Indianapolis peeps I’m coming back to : Thuds-Sun ”

It must be quite a switch to go from shooting a show to back on the road doing comedy.

Okay, let’s rate Erik’s tweets.  Bonus for Behind-the-scenes, although kinda plug heavy.  Still, it’s funny to read it in his voice.  I give him an 8 for Mustness, a 9 for Insanity and a 9 for Style.  That’s an overally score of 8.7, follow Montez.

And if you have a suggestion for Twitter in Focus, email me here.

Webcomic Review: Buni

by tonyd on April 13, 2015 at 12:01 am

Webcomic:  Buni

Creator:   Ryan Pagelow

Format:   Comic strips

Updates:  Monday

Genre:  Comedy, silent, cute, dark, weird

Themes:  Animals, love, death

Characters:  Buni, Bunigirl, Bunidad, etc.

Archive:  Begins August 9th 2011.

Although the first strip is dated above, it’s number at 124, so Ryan may have a third, older site.  His newest site is hapi buni for Webtoons, which updates Sundays.  I’m assuming he’s doing this to generate more interest in the same characters.  I’m not sure why he doesn’t run this stuff on his old site.

Buni is a no-dialogue comic about a cute bunny character and his various mishaps.  It sometimes does get a little dark, but I think it is more weird and funny than dark.  Buni is a hapless character that finds himself in various circumstances that get him hurt, emotionally hurt, killed, stranded or whatever.  The art style is nice and simple and although the library is large, you’ll breeze right through it without dialogue to slow things down!

I like Buni because Buni is ultimately a happy soul who finds himself under extraordinary circumstances.  It’s also unexpected, which makes it more funny.  I don’t think it’s too dark for kids, but parents would have to make up their own minds.  Buni is always in my bookmarks and it should be in yours.  It’s cute, fun and funny.

Your Fratoscope: April 12, 2015

If your birthday is this week:  Your cat throws you a surprise party, but only invites his friends.

Aries:  You will eat some raw hotdogs and not get sick, but everyone at the supermarket check out will be really worried about you.

Taurus:  You will be hypnotized by a stage magician and become convinced you are a very fat Nicholas Cage.

Gemini:  Save for a rainy day because during the next one, the roof leaks all over your shit.

Lemini:   The stars say, it’s normal to be annoyed by whoever you’re dating, but it’s not normal to be annoyed that they won’t loan you $80K.

Cancer:  You will be unable to decide which country’s videos are weirder, Russia’s or Japan’s.

Leo:  You will regret buying the monkey’s paw because the monkey is still alive and gunning for the guy that took his hand.

Virgo:  This week, you’ll eat some pasta and that’s about it.

Libra:  You’ll meet the reincarnated version of an old friend and he’ll demand the $20 you borrowed.

Scorpio:  Your porn collection will collapse the shelves it’s stored on from the sheer weight of the DVD’s.

Sagittarius:  The ghost of Elvis will bug you to buy a deep fryer.

Capricorn:  You’ll drunkenly confess your sins to some dude in a black suit in an elevator.

Aquarius:  You’ll check your watch and dump your drink in your lap.  You’ll also pee your pants because you’re so surprised, but no one will notice thanks to the spill.

Pisces:  Stop writing lyrics to the A Game of Thrones theme and just watch the damn show.  No one wants to sing, “Game of Thro-ones!  Game of Thro-ones!” over and over again.
