You know when you have an emotion so powerful inside you that the only way to express it is to break out in song? I do that a lot, and you know what? Nobody around me is happy. I sing about as well as I dance. And this dog dances better than I do.
Lucky for you, my voice had absolutely nothing to do with “Frat House: The Musical,” an awesome new web series that just happens to be one of the winners of this year’s “Subway Fresh Artists™ Featured Filmmakers” competition!
Filmmaking students at USC and NYU—two of the top film schools in America—submitted short films for consideration. Two teams from each school won the top prizes, which means their series are getting the star treatment!
First up is “Frat House The Musical,” the story of a plucky college freshman with pipes of gold and abs of steel.
He wants nothing more than to join his father’s fraternity. Sadly, the Sigma frat doesn’t want him… until they realize they need him to survive. Drama! Dancing! Singing! Subway! What more could you ask for?
For you to watch it.
We're reintroducing a semi-regular feature called "That Ain't Right." We find tweets containing the phrase "My Damn Channel" that have nothing at all to do with us. Amazingly enough, the correct reply to all of these tweets is "That Ain't Right." Try it for yourself. Weird, right?
Here are a few we rounded up this week:
Did someone change @_ambiie‘s damn channel WITHOUT her damn permission!?!?!
This is America, you can’t just change people’s channels without telling them. That Ain’t Right.
That Ain’t Right, @x_Brandi and @_ambiie_ need to get together
and form a support group for people who have had their channels changed. That Ain’t Right.
All these people changing other people’s channels? That Ain’t Right.
It is about time that someone standing up for themselves and protecting their damn channels.
@dridri113, continue to fight the good fight!
Ok @_LaKillah, maybe let's not use such strong language, there are C-H-I-L-D-R-E-N around.
That being said, you are the last victim in a recent outbreak of channel changing crime and That Ain’t Right.
That's all for this week's edition of That Ain't Right! If you'd like to submit a tweet to us, send it to us!
Think about it. Each Halloween we pulverize pumpkins to stick candles in their hollowed-out gores and put them on our front porch so that people know that we're friendly people with candy.
This ritual also marks the beginning of the most gastronomically wonderful time of year.
How so? Let us count the ways:
Pumpkin Bread
Pumpkin Scones
Pumpkin Soup (Trust us. So good.)
Pumpkin Pie
And of course, America's favorite weird obsession:

The Pumpkin Spice Latte.
We've seen people trample small children to get to this drink. Get it together, people.
If all of these things made you really hungry, but you're still unsure how to get this pumpkin-slaughtering ritual started, here's a little "How-To" from Slacktory:
Happy Halloween!

After watching Mark Malkoff's
"Free Cab Rides" video, we were particularly struck by the part where Mark and his driver Sean decide to "Tony Danza" the cab.
Brilliant.
An ode to Tony Danza's turn in
TAXI, sure, but why not an ode to Tony Danza
in general? We're ashamed to admit that we think about
Who's The Boss? on almost a daily basis. Like, who WAS the boss? That question has boggled us since we were seven. So, we thought, let's Tony Danza some sh*t.
(Jeff Bezos "Put A Tony Danza" on the Kindle Fire!)
(Wanna make How To Make It In America a better show?
"Put A Tony Danza On It!")
Here, maybe you wanna "Put A Tony Danza On It" yourself?
Go for it! You know how on
Portlandia they
"Put A Bird On It?" Well, maybe the rest of us should
"Put A Tony Danza On It." Maybe you want to help a new generation embrace a beloved 80's sitcom star due to an obscure but indefatigable movement to put his likeness in unexpected places!
Or, you know, maybe you're just bored and
you don't suck at Photoshop. Either of those reasons could lead to a perfectly acceptable decision to "Put A Tony Danza On It." Just be sure to
let us know if you do.

The new Paul Rudd-starring "Our Idiot Brother" opens in theaters this weekend, gifting America with the genial tale of a simple-minded fuckup (Rudd) and his exhasperated extented family. I haven't seen it yet, but David Wain has...
And while he's undoubtably correct, Mr. Wain may not be the most impartial critic. The "Brother" cast list reads like a who's who of Wainy Days All-Stars. Aside from Paul Rudd, there's Rashida Jones, Elizabeh Banks, and, let's see... looks like that's it. But hey, three's a lot! Besides, would David Wain ever steer you wrong?

Harry Shearer is one of the most conscious, confrontational, comedic voices in America.
Harry has been creating original videos on My Damn Channel since we launched in July, 2007.
Search through Harry's channel and you'll find videos that make you laugh, dance and think about issues that keep appearing in headline news:
waterboarding,
church scandals, and
unnatural disasters.
Harry's latest video is
"Touch My Junk" and TSA groping is back in the
news in a bad way on this Memorial Day Weekend:
Patricia Heaton stopped by "Good Morning America" to chat about her hit TV show "The Middle" and to hip the world to the new twisted comedy Versailles here on My Damn Channel.
Episode 1 and Episode 2 are playing now.
New episodes every Monday.

My Damn Channel is doing its part to educate America's curious and lost youth: taking on several stupendous interns to edify the inner workings and secrets behind creating the World's Greatest Website and content. (All for the price of a smile.)
But first, as they say: they need to learn how to flush The Toilet.
I sure hope they can get this part right. It seems... somehow.. significant. Like texting 'Haiti' to the Red Cross, or making Daily Grace a part of your morning routine, or learning that no matter how 'magical' coconut water is, it's not worth the nauseating flavor going down...

Deep in the dirt of some place not in America, scientists
have found the remains of a four foot, 120 pound female from a really, really
long time ago named Ardi. Ardi’s hunched
shoulders, propensity for nudity, and un-groomed body hair were strong
indications that she was an early My Damn Channel fan. You human descendants of Ardi can continue
watching MyDamnChannel.com just as Ardi did 4 million years ago right here.
