A Chrome App? No way!

2011-11-17T19:42:00.000-08:00

So there's an official 51 Productions Google Chrome App. Really, it's not much of an app, all it does is link to the page, but it looks all pretty on your Chrome App page! So go get it!

TSR #4 - Big D and the Kids Table!

The Scene Report #1

2011-07-12T10:27:00.001-07:00

A new show, hopefully will be recurring, The Scene Report. If you want to get introduced to new LA/OC ska and punk bands, you might be into this. If not, then you'll probably hate it.

Brickwalk Cafe

2010-10-21T23:53:00.001-07:00

We made a feature! Well, we're making a feature. Okay, we're TRYING to finish the damn feature. Lay off. Regardless, you can see the trailer here or at the official Brickwalk Cafe site. Official site includes a lot of other fun stuff. Go check it out.

Music Writing

2010-08-20T14:29:00.001-07:00

Not only is Suburban Legends recording a new album, but we got a Josie and the Pussycats reference in it! Check it.

SL Ninjas

2010-07-15T13:26:00.000-07:00

Suburban Legends. Now they're ninjas. On train tracks. Yup. See for yourself.

Suburban Legends PSA

2010-06-24T19:12:00.000-07:00

A PSA to promote Suburban Legends' social media. You know, our Facebook and YouTube could use a few more followers as well...

Charity Support

2010-06-16T12:27:00.000-07:00

Another SL video, this time helping to raise money for MDA. Check out the video and then join the cause.

Suburban Legends Skit

2010-06-10T21:35:00.000-07:00

More SL

2010-05-19T14:08:00.000-07:00

Another SL demoz video, this one featuring Vince Walker on guitar and an awesome pool party! Thanks to Drew Van Oort, cinematographer extraordinaire!

Suburban Legends

2010-05-13T23:15:00.000-07:00

A new segment! We've been toiling away on our first feature length project (more on that later), but for now, enjoy some more current shorts Chris has been making with Suburban Legends!

Chris Skates

2009-09-30T15:10:00.001-07:00

New video, Chris' first (and last) time trying to skate in a half pipe. Sure it was shot over 2 years ago, but it's new to the internet!

Soon to be former roommate of the day: Xander

Fun Sites

2009-08-28T18:58:00.000-07:00

So once again, no new videos, but check out these new websites:

Ben Foy

Chris Graue

Self Promotion of the Day: Shameless

New Project

2009-06-16T15:48:00.000-07:00

Sorry, not a new video, but a new project for you anyway! It's called Micro Serials. It's a twitter account that publishes a novel one tweet at a time, a few tweets a day. The current story is Jefferson's Descent and you can read it on www.twitter.com/microserials

Maid of the day: French

Does This Count As New?

2009-04-28T12:04:00.000-07:00

So the Jim Beam contest is over, we lost, but I wanted to make sure that everyone got to see both videos. So voila, the Jim Beam page now has both videos. Compare, contrast, decide what makes a video get accepted, what causes it to be rejected!

Jellybean mutation of the day: Jelly Eggs

Apartment 20 Rides Again

2009-03-17T17:10:00.000-07:00

A new episode of Apartment 20, this one heavily featuring Chris Graue and a tape measurer. Same old, same old for him, I guess. Also, if you haven't yet, please go vote for our Jim Beam contest entry!

Connection of the Day: Missed

Jim Beam Contest

2009-03-11T17:06:00.000-07:00

So we entered the Jim Beam Video Contest. We have one submission on their site and one that was rejected but presented to you on the videos page! If you get a chance, swing by the contest and vote for our video! Link is on the page with the rejected video.

Turn of the Day: U

TWO new Apartment 20s!

2009-03-02T22:47:00.000-08:00

That's right, TWO new episodes. It's been a while, and apparently they've just been sitting done on Micah's computer. He's a slacker. Blame him.

Spider of the day: Doris.

Matt's Haircut

2009-01-13T11:07:00.000-08:00

A bit different from the usual fare here, the new video shows Matt being transformed from a girly man into one with a decent haircut. He donated the leftovers to charity. Overall, we're very proud of our Matty.

Cane of the day: Candy.

An Even Taller Tale

2009-01-06T02:37:00.001-08:00

A real height expanded story.

Drink options of the day: Beer or Sprite.

Year End Blowout!

2008-12-30T16:57:00.000-08:00

If you also define "blowout" as "one new Tall Tale," then I think you'll agree that yes, this is a year end blowout. BLOWOUT!

Horse of the day: Trojan

Pabst

2008-12-03T19:47:00.000-08:00

And now for a special spec commercial for Pabst Blue Ribbon. If this isn't some very targeted marketing, I don't know what is.

Turnover of the Day: Apple

Tall Tales Rise Again!

2008-11-11T22:01:00.000-08:00

A new Tall Tale. "Liberty." As always, it's an incredibly fitting title for the Tall Tale and makes perfect sense as all Tall Tale titles do.

Ingredient to leave out of the brownies of the day: Carrot.

Chest Wax

2008-10-27T00:09:00.000-07:00

A new video is up, not a real production, but rather a serious in depth documentary look at the secret world of...oh who am I kidding, Schoen waxes Chris' chest and Chris screams like a little girl. Watch and laugh.

Mirror of the day: Rear view

Another How To!

2008-08-12T13:41:00.000-07:00

The third lesson in the series on how to get girls. This one's a bit more creative, but I guarantee you it would work if you could pull it off.

Color of the day: Chartreuse

More Pimp Lessons

2008-08-05T12:35:00.000-07:00

Hopefully you've all used this last week to pick up many women by being honest. Now, try the next lesson in our series of How To Get Girls.

Troubles of the week: Car.

51 Productions gets useful!

2008-07-29T14:27:00.001-07:00

Here today, we present the first in a series of tips on how to get girls. If you follow these instructions, we promise success.

Ridiculously complicated board game of the day: Diplomacy

Rave Cabbage!

2008-07-22T00:00:00.001-07:00

A glorious return with a deeper look into something Ben said in Episode 2 of Tall Tales. Check out a more detailed, live action video look at potentially the greatest 4 word phrase ever turned.

Thing to waste of the day: Time.

Tall ,Tall Tale

2008-05-13T10:48:00.000-07:00

So it's not another dream edition, but this time the Tall Tale is kind of a song. Actually, kind of two songs, but at the same time not really. It's hard to explain, but it's real silly to listen to Schoen say it.

Cookie of the day: M&M

Tall Tales: The Final Dreams

2008-04-29T10:32:00.000-07:00

This is the last of the Dream Editions of Tall Tales. They had a good run, and I think the last one nicely wraps the series.

Spoon of the day: Golden

Peace is bad

2008-04-21T23:47:00.000-07:00

The fear of every reality show: boredom setting in due to a lack of explosive personalities! Check out the new Apartment 20.

Bat of the day: Wiffle ball

Problems, but it's here!

2008-04-15T15:58:00.000-07:00

The new Tall Tale is up. For some odd reason, one picture edits itself out on the conversion. Still working on it, but I decided that it's not big enough of a deal to delay your getting to see it! Will be fixed later tonight.

Error of the day: Not enough memory to complete the API

Edit: FIXED!

Bonus Apartment 20!

2008-04-08T12:00:00.001-07:00

I've been assured that Episode 8 is almost ready, but here's a bonus clip from Episode 7 while we wait. More Tall Tales WILL be coming, I swear, I just need some time to work on them.

Everyone enjoy getting Rick Rolled last week?

Slav of the day: Micah

Apartment 20 Starts Explaining Things

2008-03-18T10:56:00.000-07:00

At long last, Apartment 20 is going to actually tell you some of the things that are going on. I definitely get the feeling that this is going to be one of those series where after you finish it, you watch it again to make it all make sense.

Inflamed Nerve of the Day: Lower Back

Day late, still good

2008-03-05T12:50:00.000-08:00

So this Dream Journal is a day late because...I worked extra hard on it?

No excuses. Just watch it. There's a great dream on Valentine's day of 2005.

Inconvenience of the day: Flat tire

Comic Book Jokes

2008-02-25T22:48:00.000-08:00

Today's update is for...uh...comic book nerds. Marvel readers will understand, others probably not. Yup. Taxes and comic books, what a hilarious combination.

Scott of the day: Sir Walter

Ben's Dreams Get Weirder

2008-02-18T23:44:00.000-08:00

I have to say, this episode of Tall Tales is vastly superior to the last one. As much as I liked the one before, whatever Ben was smoking from April to July of 2004 was much stronger than what he'd had before.

Overwhelming odor in my house of the day: Shrimp

Newest of Tall Tales!

2008-02-12T16:22:00.000-08:00

The newest of new! You know, right now. So anyway, the next few Tall Tales are all out of Ben's dream journal. Actual entries. It's pretty ridiculous what goes on when this man sleeps, but hey, so is what happens when he's awake.

Rice of the day: Steamed

A bonus clip!

2008-01-29T14:06:00.000-08:00

Today, you get a bonus clip from Apartment 20. Micah has been slacking in finishing more episodes, so we'll just throw this one up for now.

Plague of the day: Bubonic.

A Very Tall Tale

2008-01-22T00:58:00.000-08:00

This tale is quite tall. Many people have asked how Ben writes these things. He said he thinks of things that he wants to hear Schoen say, and then he writes them down.

Pretty simple, eh?

Field of the day: Clover

Back from the Holidays!

2008-01-08T11:23:00.000-08:00

And we come bearing the gift of new video! This one is from WalkSmart Episode 3, and it features what I believe is a common activity amongst bored people. See for yourself! I wonder if this will get as many views as another video of ours with a similar theme...

Anti-depressant of the day: Prozac

Marcus Enfiedjian: Korean Rapper?

2007-12-18T11:50:00.000-08:00

Another video from the archives, Marcus Enfiedjian's Korean class video. For a rush job, not too shabby! Especially if you like Korean rap.

Also, we're cutting back to one update a week, Tuesdays only. I thought I could handle two. I thought wrong.

Quitter food of the day: Soup.

Debate and Downloads!

2007-12-11T01:07:00.000-08:00

Another Point Counterpoint is up, this time delving into the age old question of whether or not it is better to wear underwear. A quick reminder: almost all our videos are downloadable! Below the video are links for files you can put on your ipod, zune, laptop, cellphone, or 3D memory chip implanted in your temple! Download and share with your classmates and coworkers!

World champion bowler of the day: Paeng Nepomuceno.

Return of the Tall Tale!

2007-12-07T02:05:00.000-08:00

You missed them, but they're back! And with a roaring vengeance, I might add! I think Ben almost broken pouring this masterpiece out of himself.

Punishment of the day: Capital.

Substituted Content

2007-11-30T10:53:00.000-08:00

Yup, Schoen was busy again this week, so we have another replacement video. It's another Point Counterpoint, so no complaining because you know these are awesome!

Point of the day: Counterpoint

Watching paint dry is fun!

2007-11-27T00:59:00.000-08:00

Marvel at the drying paint in this amazing competition worthy of at least ESPN 5. This sketch features Drew Hoff who is pretty much awesome, so go to the WalkSmart page to check it out. Also see Drew in the Goodnight Moon video on the videos page!

Rudiment of the day: the Flam Paradiddle-diddle.

Happy Thanksgiving!

2007-11-22T02:34:00.000-08:00

So Schoen is out of town and we didn't record a new Tall Tale before he left. We were going to do nothing, but in the spirit of Thanksgiving, we came up with this for you instead. I hope you like it.

Boat of the day: Gravy

And now for a formal debate...

2007-11-20T11:17:00.001-08:00

Today, we bring you a clip from WalkSmart Episode 3 (available on DVD, mind you), in which Schoen moderates a debate between Chris and Ben. It's all quite serious and not particularly silly at all.

Object in cheek of the day: Tongue

Tall Tales About Librarians?

2007-11-16T08:59:00.001-08:00

A new Tall Tale is up. It was forged by the great but entirely sticky gods of black bean chili that's completely to the left of every racist third baseman's step grandmother...woah. I have to stop watching these things.

Tape of the day: double sided.

Tuesday's coming...

2007-11-13T10:39:00.000-08:00

Actually, I suppose it's already here. Well then, coat wearers, I invite you to watch Episode 6 of Apartment 20! Finally, a bit more explanation as to what's going on. If you haven't noticed, we update every Tuesday and Friday now, so make sure you check in twice a week to stay on top of everything. Or, you know, don't.

Counter top of the day: Granite

Tall Tales are here. Fear for your life.

2007-11-09T11:22:00.000-08:00

This is a new feature, look for a new one every Friday. It's called "Tall Tales." Basically, Sir Ben of Foy goes on an absolute tear, Schoen reads it, and there are images to help you comprehend what you're hearing. It should melt your brain.

Doughnut of the day: Boston Cream (eat that, Bavaria).

Outrageously Claiming Apartments?

2007-11-05T17:07:00.000-08:00

Two updates for you today, a new episode of the hit series Apartment 20 and a classic sketch from WalkSmart called The Outrageous Claimers' Association. This episode of Apartment 20 is very exposition heavy, so I gave you something funny to go along with it. I promise, Apartment 20 goes on to be hilarious, so stick out these early bits.

Load of the day: Up

Halloween and Presto!

2007-10-31T13:09:00.000-07:00

Happy Halloween, kiddos! New Presto video up, go check it out. It features a French guy we had to SEVERELY tame to have him only be 1/10000th as disturbed as he truly is, and it's still terrifying. Chris bought his car! Still making minor site fixes, but we're almost done now!

Cake of the day: Pan

Alex's new album!

2007-10-22T00:42:00.000-07:00

Alex has a new album! A 51 exclusive (as they all kind of are, but also aren't). Free download of all his new and old songs on his music page. He has album art and descriptions if you click on the album titles on his page too! Go look!

Shirt of the day: Hawaiian

New site!

2007-10-12T23:00:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the wonderful world of the new 51 site! So I put up a couple of things, one is Ben's infamous Poetry Corner from the Robby Mooring show and the other is a web series by Micah Kafka called Apartment 20. 4 episodes already up, more to come! Chris is in it, you know, if you're counting.

Ex-horrible website design of the day: The 51 bedspread.
