We at The Media Show got wind of some dodgy claims by McCormick Spices extolling the supposed health benefits of that pinch of dried plant matter with which you might flavor your food. Weena fights hyperbole with Youtube Poop.

A Media Show quickie: my compatriots and I take on the phenomenon of “stocking.” For those unfamiliar it’s the practice of re-enacting your favorite overused stock photo cliches, like the cool kids over at Stocking Is the New Planking.
It’s a good thing our puppets always keep a few extra wigs stashed about the place for just such an occasion.

"The Media Show" needs YOU! →
You may know about the long-running Internet TV series on which I work called The Media Show. For those unfamiliar, it’s an award-winning educational show focusing on media literacy starring snarky puppets who deconstruct, learn about, and play with the media landscape that surrounds us all. We tackle the various ways ads really affect us, the shadier uses some companies have for their own customers, how various aspects of the Internet can work for or against us, and much more. Here’s our trailer!
What you may not know is after a long and successful run at a now-dismantled production facility, we are producing the show entirely independently these days. We’ve got some great scripts in store for our next few episodes, more ambitious than any we’ve done before, and we need your help to make them happen!
We’ve launched a donation-crowdsourcing campaign on Kickstarter to collect donations to fund our access to production equipment and studio space. Backers of our project can receive exclusive goodies from the show as thank-you gifts! Here’s a behind-the-scenes video showing some of the reasons we really need your help with this.
Whether you can donate financially or not, we could also really use your help spreading the word about our show and our Kickstarter campaign. Please, spread the word and share this post with anyone you think might be interested!
These logos for fictional trendy Web 2.0 sites were made for the latest episode of The Media Show. The show called for a bunch of silly but real-sounding website names which were generated in the manner in which we write many of the show’s greatest jokes; blurting increasingly random things back and forth at each other on filming day until we’ve all hopelessly dissolved into fits of convulsive giggling. I then whipped up suitably shiny icons to match.
“Toop” is pronounced “taupe” because of course it is.
The Media Show - “TV Tropes”
The Media Show is a snarkily insightful puppet-based media literacy show for which I am a writer, crewmember, and occasional performer. This episode, wherein the characters discover TV Tropes intruding upon their lives in various upsetting ways, was the first script I turned in for the show. I also performed the fake Intern and the Monster of the Week.
