(2:23) A non-historical (yet tactfully choreographed) dance routine from The Comic Thread sketch comedy troupes 2004 review: "Jew, the Obscure" which was performed at The Second City in Chicago. The Comic Thread performs a wide-variety of material, both edgy and benign. This sketch is admittedly one of the more edgy pieces we have done. While we would likely not perform this particular sketch at our alma matter high school, *other* material we have performed (like "Great Moments In Amish Pornography" - which can be seen on iFilm) was considered "too graphic" and/or "questionable" by the school administration. This led to our "disinvitation" from their biennial arts festival last month.

(1:14) http://www.236.com NBC's coverage of the Olympic Opening Ceremony clocked in at over four hours. While Zhang Yimou's display was certainly memorable—regardless of the CGI fireworks—even the Chinese couldn't figure out a way to computer generate a procession of obscure African/Eastern European countries that lasted less than three hours. So, in case you missed it, here's the whole thing in sixty convenient seconds. See more at http://www.236.com < less

(2:44) Anyone can be a photographer, but a photographer can not be anyone. Enter Nancy Jessy, a unqualified self described "foto-grapher" with no business running a photography business.

(6:04) At a press conference, Pizza Hut CEO David Novak announces a new and groundbreaking product sure to send shockwaves through the worlds of theoretical geometry, global commerce, and pizza. With increasing American paranoia and the incessent push for obscure consumer novelty in today's geo-political climate, it's difficult to tell whether this is satire or prognostication. http://www.seattleuntimely.com < less

(7:21) The dynamic New York/Vancouver longform improv duo known as Buckshot N Benny (Kaitlin Fontana and Louie Pearlman) performed this show at the Globe Theatre in Regina, Saskatchewan June 2nd, 2008 during their summer North American tour. BNB have been called, "An incredibly subtle and affecting success" (Mike Hingston, The Peak) and "A [true] example of 'improv THEATRE.' This set is the sort of thing than non-improv people see and can't believe is improvised. It was that good." (Gary Chan, Bad Dog Theatre Co., Toronto). Buckshot N Benny: The best (and probably only) bi-coastal, international improv duo named after an obscure children's television show that you will ever see. < less

This video is the first part in a series that recreates the opening moments of the game with a live-action short film. The party is getting started and the new drug on campus is undeniably exhilarating – but it’s also mind-altering and causes your worst nightmares to become stunning realities…Shot in Cleveland with a full creative team and crew, this is a unique and visceral take on the Obscure experience. < less
