Who Will Be the Godfather of Comedy Video On The Web? →
(via rickyv)
This pretty much fits my own experience working for Super Deluxe — their intentions were great and they sponsored some great content, but failed at the point of building an audience and finding a way to, you know, make some money.
In a nutshell: In late 2006 there were suddenly a bunch of companies looking to blow wads of cash on three-minute comedy videos. For comedians, this was amazing, and provided gainful employment right up to the moment when the money-men realized that they were paying for a product they couldn’t sell. I’m just glad that we had a chance to ride it while it lasted.
