The New Year is all about fresh starts!! And getting wasted!

 

Happy New Year everyone!!

This blog post brings an end to the saga known as Roomies. This is the series finale. It’s been a raucous ride and I hope that you enjoyed watching the series as much as I did writing it. As a parting gift, we are including the gag reel from the filming of over 20+ episodes of Roomies. So call now, supplies are limited. Enjoy!!

P.S. I will be sending out a separate blog post with the newest Mammoth Manor video later today.

On behalf of the entire Roomies crew, thanks for watching!!

Merry Christmas from Roomies and Mammoth Manor!!

Christmas is tomorrow. Sheesh. I don’t have much time to watch my perennial movie faves It’s A Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street and the Alistair Sim A Christmas Carol or Scrooge for you purists. Some of you may bemoan the fact that I didn’t include A Christmas Story on this list. Take some rolaids and don’t worry. That movies is the background for unwrapping presents in the morning.

Even though I may not have much time to get in my holiday viewing, you have plenty of time to catch the special holiday edition of Roomies and Mammoth Manor.

Roomies ep. 19- The Menorah.

 

Mammoth Manor presents The Legend of Zelda: Breaking and Entering (and breaking).

 

I hope everyone has a great holiday and thanks for watching!!

Mad pimping!!

It’s raining in L.A!

This is blog worthy news since it happens so infrequently. I know my Least Coast readers want to pee in my cereal because rain is as part of their daily ritual as Sportscenter. Sorry? Not really.

I’ve had some one comment that the blog is just a pimp for Roomies and Mammoth Manor. Where is the original content and commentary that many people love to hate? I have an answer.

Roomies is down to the last 2 episodes of season 1. Also, I will be taking a break from Mammoth Manor to concentrate on submitting screenplays to various workshops and competitions. So, no more Roomies and Mammoth Manor. I will try to give you more posts about my screenwriting endeavors and any amusing, random stories that come my way. Now to the pimping.

 

Roomies ep. 18- The Wi-Fi

It stands for nothing.

12 Days of Funny!!

Happy Friday everyone!

I went to a taping of The Ellen Degeneres Show this week. Don’t judge. I have never seen the show before but it was a lot of fun. Matt Dillon, Ashley Greene, and Tia Torres were the guests. The only bad thing was that her 12 Days of Giveaway was beginning the following day. However, Ellen surprised the entire audience by inviting us back for one of the 12 Days of Giveaway!! So, I will be returning to see the show on the episode that will air on Thursday December 17th. Check your local listings to see what I win. Please be an iMac.

 

I have a new Roomies, Mammoth Manor and special surprise video for you this week.

 

Roomies episode 17- The Non-Conflict Beans.

Are you aware of the growing global crisis of conflict beans? Watch and get learned.

 

 

Mammoth Manor presents Tom Ramus: Center of Reality.

Tom Ramus answers the burning questions that plague the universe. This week Tom tackles the new trend called Music.

 

Finally, I have a special video shot and cut by my brother John. Long time readers of the blog know that I hold an annual flag football game on Thanksgiving dubbed Turkey Bowl (I thought of the name without any help). My brothers John and Ricky drove up to participate this year. Ricky played while John videographed the event. Enjoy!

Turkey, football, traffic and laughter. The perfect Thanksgiving!

 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Tomorrow is a busy day for me. Up at 6am to reserve the field for the 2nd Annual Turkey Bowl Flag Football game. Then driving to San Diego for Thanksgiving dinner and NFL bliss with Mom and 2 out of my 3 brothers. My other brother Ken will be enjoying oven roasted turkey goodness with his wife and family in Virginia Beach. Rounding out the day will be the traditional movie marathon at the local cineplex. This year’s selection will include A Christmas Carol, The Road, and either New Moon or Ninja Assasin (always have to throw in a turkey on Thanksgiving).

This week’s Roomies is a special Thanksgiving episode.

Over at Mammoth Manor is the final installment of the Man Rolls saga.

Enjoy and thanks for reading!

Board? Then Get Some!! And New Roomies too!

 

I’m not sure how I forgot to post last week. Especially considering that Roomies is back from the 1 week hiatus. So now you get a funny overload this week. 2 Roomies episodes and a new Mammoth Manor short. Lucky!!

All Roomies videos are now embedded from YouTube (they took a clue from the Mammoth Manor site).

First up is Roomies ep. 11.-The Customer.

 

Hungry for more? How about a cookie?

Did you see the scary guy at 1:44? Cree-pay!

Recovered from your laugh coma? Great! Now check out the new Mammoth Manor short-Board. Written by Ken Ellis and starring Erik Johnson.

The Mammoth Manor crew will be filming a new short this weekend. Unfortunately, I have to get in front of the camera again. Sorry!

Don’t forget to become a fan of Roomies and Mammoth Manor if you haven’t already.

Thanks for reading and watching!

Roomies is going out of town.

Roomies is on hiatus this week. 10 more episodes to go.

I still encourage you to visit the Roomies website this week. It’s not a new episode, but we have to pay the bills. So enjoy!

Are we there yet?

Nope, just halfway.

 

That’s right. This week’s Roomies marks the mid-season point. That means there will not be a new episode next week. Don’t get your tighties bunched. There will be new content on the site. It just won’t be a Roomies episode. “What will it be?” you ask with eyebrows arched in anticipation. Tune in next week and find out.

 

Roomies Episode 10- The Landlord

 

Coming Soon-Mammoth Manor!!

The Mammoth Manor gang is busy editing the 3 shorts we filmed a few weeks back. The videos should be up on the new Mammoth Manor site soon. I have more creative input with these sketches and I think you will notice the difference in the finished product. Don’t get me wrong. I’m proud of Roomies, but the Mammoth Manor productions allow me to flex more than my writing muscle. Stay tuned for the exact launch date!

Nip/Tucked!

 

The Roomies website pulled a Joan Rivers and got some work done. The site is cleaner so it should be easier to navigate without a GPS. Comments now appear on the page so you can see what people are saying about Roomies and join in on the trash talking.

The series also has new music by Greg Johnson.

This weeks episode: The Weather Channel- Cloudy with a chance of naughty!

If you missed last week’s episode catch it here.

In other fascinating news…

mammoth-manor

Mammoth Manor, my sketch comedy group, just finished filming 3 new sketches. I make my acting debut in one of the sketches so be prepared. I’m not a fan of being in front of the camera but since we don’t have a budget to hire real actors, I may be forced to be more of a thespian. Look for announcements soon!

Here’s a sneak peek.

Meet the Roomies!!

What? Somebody still posts on this blog?

Yes, I know it’s been ages. There’s been a new president, a financial crisis and a flu epidemic since I last updated the blog. I’ve been busy. Writing. A web series. Roomies.

 

card-final

 

Produced by C-41 Productions, Roomies is a new web comedy about the other half of the rent created and written by me! I also created a new production house called Mammoth Manor to promote and create new sketch comedy for the web.

Please go to www.letsberoomies.com to see the promo clip for the series which will begin airing in late August. Become a fan on Facebook. If you will be at Comic-Con, be on the lookout for the Roomies Girls who will be promoting the series and taking pictures of fans.

I’m excited about the show and I hope everyone enjoys watching it as much as I enjoy writing it.

We're back (like those dinosaurs in that awful animated feature). Thanks for all the calls and comments regarding the blackout (note sarcasm).

Sorry for the poor audio. We’re still experimenting with recording software. By “experimenting” I mean we’re too cheap to buy decent software.

The Random Show!

I know. It’s been awhile since my last post. I’ve been busy.

“With what?” you ask.

“With the first episode of The Random Show with Troy and Emery podcast!” I answer.

That’s right. I have joined the bloated ranks of the podcasting army.

What’s the podcast about? Anything. It’s pretty random, hence the name.

The topics of discussion in the first episode include Barack Obama’s inauguration, ethnic names, Watchmen, and Super Bowl parties.
