Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I notice in the TV listings that in the wee hours of the morning next week (4 am Tuesday and a few other times) there's a special entitled NEWBRIDGE TOURISM BOARD PRESENTS: WE'RE NEWBRIDGE, WE'RE COMIN' TO GET YA! Anyone have any details as ti what exactly this is?
-
Secret project 3 that Tom's been talking about on Twitter?
-
Hol-eeee s-hit!
-
Casting director is Allison Cohn who was thanked in the credits of Tom's Real Estate video. Whoa..

Adult Swim lists it as a "parody infomercial." It looks like it was advertised for extras on 8/26/14 and involves Rob Hatch-Miller in some way.
-
I wiki-ed it and found an actress who lists it on her resume with Tom Scharpling as the director.
-
I love you, FOT Detectives.
-
I'm beyond excited, but why the hell are they showing it at 4 AM?

it's scheduled as an infomercial so maybe they're placing it in a timeslot those generally air in? going for a almost pranky but not really like Rock Rot n Rule?
ALSO...I just noticed something about this casting director. She's worked with Tom on more than just the Real Estate video.
Casting Associate, Marc Hirschfeld Casting
Untitled Gregory Brothers Pilot
Comedy Central

They often show oddball one off shows at insane hours on Adult Swim which is why I like to skim the listings in the first place.
-
i don't have cable. if anyone sees a (legal) link to watch this online please post it here?
thanks!
-
Matt Besser has his own fake infomercial airing at 4am on Adult Swim sometime soon as well - some perhaps an ongoing series with different talent each time?
-
Couldn't have picked a worse time, Dish is in disputes with Turner broadcasting no Adult Swim for me.
-
I've seen three other fake infomercials that AS has run in the past. The best one was for "For-Profit Online University." They've posted those on their website and YouTube, so hopefully they'll do the same with this.
Can't wait.
-
Yeah, it's definitely an ongoing series that started about a month ago. Brian Stack was in Fartcopter, written by Rob Huebel. There was another ones with Kurt Braunohler selling a salad mixer that doubles as a sex toy. I was able to set up a series record for it, so I think it's called "Infomercial".
-
Confirmed by Jon on Facebook!
-
does adult swim usually post this kind of stuff on their website? i know they post shows but will this be up there? i sure hope so. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Newbridge is like...
-
Here's the link where it will eventually show up ONLINE:
http://www.adultswim.com/videos/infomercials/ (http://www.adultswim.com/videos/infomercials/)
BUT, looks like you have to log in with cable credentials for some of these. I'm over the air now, oh no!!!!!!!
I hope it goes up for free. I will pay for a link to the video or however I can get it (on disk? Who wants to make some money?)
Maybe it will go up on Tom's site??
-
thanks! i think you only need to sign in to watch new things. so maybe eventually it will be available on there for us cheap-o's. ive watched some shows marked 'watch as' when they are part of a playlist. if you watch the video before it sometimes the next one will just load on its own (after commercials of course) without signing in. never tried it with the infomercials though....
-
I'm in the "cheapo" category, and I really hope it goes up online @ [as].com, buuuuuuuuut
If I could instigate some FOT creativity, How about a new thread where we could try and build a super cut of the fake infomercial ending and a real infomercial beginning?
I have no doubt that the show will be amazing, but us cheapos will miss out on the hilarity of the show going to commercial and then an actual infomercial airing.
Anybody who has cable game?

I looked around for it last night, they usually post stuff to Facebook, but nothing so far.
-
There's a still image on Tom's Instagram.
-
Waking up this early, I feel like I should be getting onto a long plane ride.
-
I don't want to spoil anything for the DVR crowd, but it was truly amazing.
-
I'd say it was worth waking up for as a DVR non-owner. DVR people, I hope you enjoyed your sleep.
-
Amazing appearance by "B.S."!
-
It's up on the website now: http://www.adultswim.com/videos/infomercials/the-newbridge-tourism-board-presents-were-newbridge-were-comin-to-get-ya/ (http://www.adultswim.com/videos/infomercials/the-newbridge-tourism-board-presents-were-newbridge-were-comin-to-get-ya/)
-
I NEED TO LOGIN TO VIEW AHHHH NOOOOOOOO.
And I cancelled cable only 3 months ago...
-
any help finding this "by any means" would be greatly appreciated! maybe a FOT could post a link in the downloads section??
-
I've already watched it twice this morning, so good.
-
Just tried to watch it with a Dish password and apparently Dish has dropped Cartoon Network? Cable/Satellite companies are so weird.
-
Best line: "Unwin will spend the offseason in a Gold Cage."

You should check.
-
God, so good. Amazing to see some infamous Nebridgites in the flesh. So many great jokes crammed into such a short time.
And more places to add to the map, huzzah!
-
That was amazing. I loved it. So many jokes and references.

It's there! It's THERE!
-
That was great - very enjoyable. I shrieked with joy when a certain A.P. appeared. Wurster was amazing - so many famous Newbridge faces. Tom as Gus Willoughby, lovely. American Dickshot 2!!!!!!
-
I woke up at 4 AM to watch it.... IT WAS SO WORTH IT!!!!

No doubt. That one got me too. Tom's inflection on "gold cage" is genius. Distills the NFL vibe nicely.
-
So. Very. GREAT!
My head is spinning. I feel dizzy. I don't know if it's the fumes from Muffler Lane or what but this infomercial is one of the funniest things I have seen in some time (well, since The Best Show went off of the air!).
Two enthusiastic thumbs up.
-
Someone please make a gif of Jon pounding on desks and yelling "LEARN! LEARN! LEARN!"
-
There are so many quotable funny lines that I think my head will explode.
"No one beats me up here."
"The human zoo"
"Enemies school"
"He's the racist!"
"spend the off-season in a gold cage."
"He will turn your spine into a ukelele!"
"LEARN!!! LEARN!!!"
I have been giggling like a crazy person all day!!!

Tim H at 9:50!
And the Red Racists winning by 240-3 is the best kind of testament to killing your foe.

Still (slowly but surely) working my way to 50 posts. I want to do it the honest way, so it'll be a while before I get to see it again.
Could someone please remind what the local podcasting legend/host of Comedians in Cargo Shorts Getting Custard was named?
Thanks!

Post 50 times. I'm not there yet myself. There is a thread you can burn 'em in though: http://www.friendsoftom.com/forum/index.php?topic=4742.0 (http://www.friendsoftom.com/forum/index.php?topic=4742.0)

Think about the state of the Best Show just one year ago - all of us dreading the end of a show we all cherish.
What a difference a year makes! Viva S&W!

That was great.

I was thinking the same thing. It tends to go this way with resurrections in most cases I suppose, but it seems like there's more buzz and juice and other vague execu-speak for "positive energy" around the property now than ever before.
-
This is all solid gold, but the "Big Zeff" reference really caught me by surprise. Also, the two hipsters at the back of the food bike line made me blurt-laugh.
-
I loved the Tim Cronin cameo as Big Zeff! Jack's Music represent!
-
Terre T cameo.
Julie Klausner.
The birthplace of the pebbled garbage can.
-
The very best thing, to me, was that the hosts' coffee cups, on the table next to the pebbled garbage can, were also pebbled.

Indeed. I think I have watched this video a dozen times, including calling my family together last night to huddle around my laptop so that we could all enjoy it.
"No HE'S the racist now!".

Someone posted it to Daily Motion
Newbridge Tourism Board - Newbridge: We're Comin' To Get Ya! (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x29aun7)

Really love the Barry Dworkin handclaps in the corner of MC Flamethrowa's verse.
-
Oh, and "Chief Winnumgame".
-
my favorite thing is julie's face when she hears the phrase 'pleasure tent'.
-
This was so well done. Not sure how it will play outside the FOT universe, but hopefully this winds up in eternal rotation like basically everything else on Adult Swim.
It was fun to learn the details of the founding of Newbridge. Washington flipping the bird leaving town, Mayor Kern surrendering "to the mighty Kaiser of the great city of Germany.
"Dalrymple winds up and lands a haunch-blow!"
PBR "What kind of perversions am I into this week?"
And the Production Company Productions logo is great.

I was thinking it was going to be a cartoon too, I also thought "nobody beats me up here" was going to be more of a proclamation.

Secret project 3 that Tom's been talking about on Twitter?
Did I miss something what was 1 & 2?

Secret Project #1 was the Best Show coming back in November or thereabouts.
Secret Project #2 was the box set.
Secret Project #3 was Newbridge is Comin' to Get Ya.
Secret Project #4 is to be announced.
-
Julie Klausner was AMAZING!!! Whole thing rocked but Julie kiiilllllllllled it.

YES! Her face after Rob Cuthill said "pleasure tent" was priceless and then I almost lost it after when she said "awesome segue."
-
Great program! I cancelled cable a year and a half ago and this was the first time I was regretting my decision. Thankfully was able to watch online. Want more!
Brimstead is looking great and I feel like he should publish a book of dieting tips. Love the addition of pebble trash cans to the Newbridge canon (or was it always there and I've missed it?)
-
i saw something on someones facebook page (maybe hatch?) that this was going to be a 4 episode series. did anyone else hear this? are there really gonna be 3 more of these?
i saw photos from the set featuring some costumes and locations that i didn't recognize from what aired. maybe things ended up getting cut and maybe it's more episodes?

As I understood it, Adult Swim was going to air the same one-shot four more times in the 4 am time slot.

"fun fact: when seen from above, Newbridge is shaped like a wet pentagram!"
destroyed me
-
Looks like the Too Many Cooks one is blowing up.
-
For good reason. Incredible.
-
To be fair, Too Many Cooks does not require the same level of recognition that Newbridge, We're Coming To Get Ya! does. I loved the Newbridge infomercial, but I don't know how approachable it is to a Best Show newbie.
-
I'm kind of obsessed with the elderly woman toward the end of the Newbridge video. She's the perfect angry Newbridgite. She even SINGS angry.
-
agreed. that woman at the end is great! any idea who she is. i sure it's its just someones mom....
-
Just in case anyone hasn't seen the video yet, it's now officially on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-2E-X0RVYM).

I don't know. I showed it to my mom and she laughed. She said it was "weird" but that's usually a compliment.
-
This was one of the best things I've seen on Adult swim in a while. I am a late adapter to the show, but it felt so good to have it back in some form.
