Check It Out W/Davon Magwood

Hey guys and gals.

The internet is filled with so much shit these days. So I took it upon myself to got thru all of the shit to find things that are worth checking out. This will happen every Friday.

This Friday, I am featuring a web series that I think is awesome. It’s titled “Damaged”.

Damaged is an animated web series about two broken robots adopted by humans. Created by comedian Liz Miele, characters designed by Adam Record and animated by Ben Luce and Grant Lindahl!

Why should you check it out? Because I fucking said so. JOKING(or am I?)

This web series is beautifully animated. It’s witty, and oh yeah there’s Robots!

Take a break from your Jenna Marbles bender and watch this new web series which was mainly funded by kickstarter.

You’ll love it. The videos are short so don’t worry you can get back to watching “twerk” videos and hood fights.

See you next week. Send me stuff that you think would be cool for any future “Check It Outs” emails put “check it out submission” in the title.

Thanks

Youtube forgot the “Comedy” part of Comedy Week!

When I saw that Youtube was doing a “comedy” week I was so excited! I looked to the heavens and yelled, “THIS HAS FAIL WRITTEN ALL OVER IT” And man youtube does not disappoint. 

Youtube will never have to do a Stars “Where Are They Now” show because sadly they are still in the LA area trying to convince people they are talented. Calling this waste of a Google hangout a “comedy week” is an insult to people who love comedy. 

And I’m sure these youtube stars are funny to PreTeens and kids who don’t have cable, but this “Comedy Week” seems to be youtube trying to make some extra money off their partners. Or, and this is a sadder point, maybe the people at Youtube truly think the creators of “Historical Rap Battle” and the “Smosh” idiots are true comedic geniuses. If so then there is a deeper problem here. 

 Youtube “Comedy” Week? Nah, should be titled Youtube: “Live Comedy Is Hard”, I say that mainly because, Pete Holmes, Kyle Kinane, and Hannibal Buress killed it. It was great seeing live stand up comedy on youtube. Maybe the people at Youtube should have  tried to showcase more stand up and sketch comedy on their “Comedy Week” instead of trying to get Jenna Marbles more video views.  

When you upload a video on youtube they give you a few categories to file your video under. And what  Youtube’s “Comedy Week” has show us is that next time “Epic Meal Time” and company want to upload a video instead of putting it under “Comedy” they should scroll down and file their videos under “Entertainment” because even if its funny it doesn’t mean it’s comedy, OR that you’re a comedian. Sorry Not Sorry. 

My Final Verdict: Youtube Comedy Week. A swing and a miss.

Tour Diary. Part One. “I caught myself almost giving a fuck”

26 days until my tour starts.
I’ve been sharing the fuck out of the indie go go


and yes if you think it’s annoying seeing me tweet or facebook about it Trust me it’s worse for me. I hate asking for help. It’s not my thing at all. Mainly we can thank my father for that little bit of life damage. But 26 days until I hit the road, I was sending out press releases and shit last night. Zoe wrote this amazing press release (she’s such a good writer) and then I caught myself. I looked over at my cat who has been eating something I’m not sure what she was eating but I know she was probably not allowed to eat it because I could see her grinning as she ate it (what a bitch).

But I caught myself, I ALMOST GAVE A FUCK!
Like sending these emails to the Huffblahblah and NPzzzzzBoring and Cool Comedy Site…like it would matter.
These sites don’t give a shit about me. I mean A lot of them don’t know who I am and you know what?
I’m down to keep it that way.

I like the idea of showing up to your city like a tornado you’ll have a little bit of a warning but in the end theres nothing you can do. I’m going to drank all your beers and I’m going to eat all of your bacon and fall asleep in a park somewhere.
So I guess as my first Tour Diary entry, I like to say.
Hey my name is Davon Magwood, If you don’t know me cool. I’m still coming to your town. So hide the things you love because daddys riding greyhound and once I get off that greyhound I’m getting drunk in that town i’m telling jokes; you’ll laugh or I’ll piss you off, then I’m getting back on the greyhound to sleep of the fucking hangover in just enough time to get of the shitty bus to do it all over again.

I am pumped to get on the road. We are going to Laugh, We are going to party, We are not going to give one single fuck! Because really who cares what anyone thinks?

Life’s too short to give a fuck!

See yinz on the road!

Love
Davon
