I Hate Being Single

Loving this series! Tadaaaa! 

Rob is addicted to reminiscing! New Rob’s Room is up now and features Shannon Coffey! Reblog it if you have a friend who does this to you!

I recently caught this documentary on HBO. I’d heard a lot about it through interviews on podcasts earlier this year . It was realllly interesting. If you’re a fan of TV, comedy, sitcoms, writing, directing, communication, culture shock, social behavior, etc it’s worth seeing.
It’s funny that I never considered Everybody Loves Raymond to be very high on the scale of relatable, realistic, naturalistic, or anything other than a big broad family sitcom. I don’t think I’ve ever watched a whole episode. Probably because I stopped watching family sitcoms when I became a teenager and didn’t relate to the premise, but Phil Rosenthal, the creator has to convince Russian TV producers/directors/actors that being truthful, realistic, and honest is at the core of the comedy of the show, and I find that very relatable!
Sometimes Phil is a little hammy for the cameras, but really it’s amazing to see how much resistance and how hard it is to communicate/translate the ideas of comedy, especially across the world.

I Hate Being Single Presents… Rob’s Room
This is a collection of short improvised scenes that take all take place in Rob’s bedroom. Each with another character from IHBS. They fit nicely between full length I Hate Being Single Episodes. Tomorrow feature Dom Manzolillo. New IHBS episodes release every tuesday!

Jest just launched from the creators of College Humor and it looks great. One of their debut videos, Ikea Breakup Room, was a pitch from my brother. Go Jest! Go Rob! Go ikea!

Our Variety Show Night Treasure has reached new levels of crazy! Last Night we broadcast over Google + and had 100 people watching at the highest point. So much fun interacting with a live audience and a web crowd. Thanks to everyone who tuned in! This is the end of the show from the internets perspective. It’s weird because I think there was music playing but you can’t hear it at all so we look psycho. I think we’re on to something cool! Check out sweet moves by Kat Toledo, Aaron Kheifets, Bridgid Ryan, Chad and Carly Howard, and Doug Stoley!
