New Featured Video... and MEDIOCRE RINGTONES!

2007-03-03T22:43:00.000-08:00

MySpace is currently featuring our latest video, Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show, on the main page! The response has been great, and we will DEFINITELY make more episodes!

And due to numerous requests for downloadable ringtones of the Gorgeous Tiny theme song, Talk to the Hot Dog and others from Mediocre Films... Ringtones are now available at Xingtone.com!

This is the first time I've ever tried to make a little money back from my Mediocre Films, so we'll see how it works out. I'm paying Xingtone for this service, so if it flops these will probably disappear after a month.

YouTube, MySpace & TV!

2006-11-14T10:43:00.000-08:00

As my friend Heitzie says, you get on the front page at YouTube and all hell breaks loose! YouTube featured Greg Hits Hollywood on their main page last week, and MySpace followed the next day by featuring Phone Call to God. So far, GHH has gotten half a million hits and Phone Call has about 300,000! But most importantly, it's helped a lot of people with a similar sense of humor find my stupid videos! So thanks for your support, and welcome to all you new viewers!

The Maury Povich Show will be airing Greg Hits Hollywood this Thursday, Nov. 16. And Good Morning America will air it next Wednesday, Nov. 22!

The version airing on TV will combine footage from the original GHH and the brand new GHH Volume 2 video. Check it out! And while you're on YouTube, check out our latest shorts Night of the Zombie and Earthquake!

Yippee!!!
