"Heroes of the Writers Strike"

[danieljohnsonfilms]

haha

[54spiritedwill54]

Good luck WGA, but I think you're going to be out there for a while.

[2bz2work]

Some people keep saying that the writer's should find new jobs. With that logic, we should cancel movies, plays, television, opera, and heck, just cancel all entertainment. That logic would lead to even more job losses. Do your homework. The writer's deserve to be paid for their work. The studios have caused this problem, not the writers!

[bojak90]

Why's everyone hating on people that like this vid?

Funny stuff!

[wvben]

What would Ronald Reagan do?

[wvben]

I'm suffering! I want my shows back!

[dmyhre16]

i think a hollywood writer saw this and got pissed at the comments

[guitar912]

LOL

[teance]

Way to stay busy guys!!! You've Rocked our world for years!

[funnywoman18]

so funny

[Pythia333]

Yup, when I'm right, I'm right...we need to fix people.

But right now I'll take some European Gigolow, please.

...then I'll FIX you- ALL.

[adli2006]

This was hilarious!

[gitlgitl]

As a member of SAG I totally support your strike. As an actor and performer I am very little without your words and ideas.

Gitl

[DrChebutykin]

Agreed. I support your efforts.

~another SAG, AFTRA, and AEA member

[madriguez]

I love this!!!! May this strike be over before you cover all the dumb day jobs we could possible have.

[spokar1]

Cute ! .. can't wait for "Writers Strike" season 2 !

[fbridge]

The poor old miners in the UK could have done with these guys back in 1984! Will these very funny scripts stop if you get what your asking for? :-(

[brandywinevalentine]

Is this writer's strike the best bits of comedy ever? I think so.

[Scifi8luv]

Ha ha! I love how they are charging for subtext. Go writers!

[peacearena]

LOL! Don't miss the hand-written sign at the end. Hilarious.

[BlargyBlue]

Define irony!

I LOVE that you are using the very thing they refuse to pay you for, to poke back at the studios.  HAHAHA! Great one.

[wweforever08]

jajajajjajajjaa this is funny

[countiblis]

AWESOME!

[bigquiche]

GO WGA!!! We're behind you!

[99bj88]

hilarious vid!

[Killua2001]

As a son of a WGA member, AWESOMEEEEE. Youtube provides ample proof why this strike is so important, there's so much distribution online, if the writers lose out on this deal like they did VHS and DVD... they're screwed. Don't let the studios keep pushing around the most important but sadly under appreciated group in hollywood anymore! Go writers!!!

[truestoriesfromthein]

BRILLIANT!!!! This is ample proof WHY the writers should be getting paid for internet!!

As a non-WGA member, but writer none-the-less, I support the writer's strike. You are striking now for benefits that all furture WGA writers will benefit from. Thank you.

[crazyplayer23]

I agree Jeff the writers should have/start at least a few production companies

[gummybrain]

What you guys SHOULD do is show clips of the crappiest reality shows to show the threat they pose to the American viewing public. If I have to see "I Love New York" or "Big Brother 8," I may slit my own throat.

[raproducer]

Cheers!

[uscgx2]

Good luck WGA, but I think you're going to be out there for a while.

[thechico1979]

lol, hey... what's your back story?

[exittheolivetree23]

Deuce Bigalow? I am sad to see the writers on strike, and i do support them whole- heartedly, but how can a guy who writes Bigalow still be in the buisness?

[robolov]

In any other industry, if your idea became a product and you only asked for 8 cents from every $20 unit sold, your distributor would DIVE for his/her pen to get you to sign before you asked for more. Go get your well-deserved piece of the pie, WGA!!

[moro5150]

ABC's president said they have plenty of "Reality shows" thanks but no thanks we got YOUTUBE..

[Lonewolfjedi]

The writers deserve all they are asking for, and its not much

[jeffmunger]

here is what i really want to say: hey writers wake t.f.u. and start your own production companies...don't let "the man" rule you...rule the man...betch.

[jeffmunger]

free content to the writers guild is like free energy to power cars to the oil industry. america has a way of trying to squash the inevitable.

the irony? we are all here checking out this nominally kick ass shit that someone wrote.

[badsysop]

Male prostitute...hilarious.

I support these writers too... They are getting screwed big-time.

[FirenStrbrst]

you go guys (:

i support you 100%

you deserve way more money, because without you, there'd be no shows

[RichieLeone]

You have my profound sympathy. I've been on an involuntary acting and writing strike since I moved to L.A. 10 years ago... Anyone hiring? (seriously, I need a gig... :-))

[kufrfangirl]

Churros $3 subtext $5

ROFL

[RivenrockGardens]

Love it! Hilarious.

[ginflower]

The sign at the food stand:

"Churros 3$, Subtext 5$"

roflmao

[ZaZaBlu]

Fellow writers i support u... dave garrett, i support u the most. count me in as a regular.

[elvaAZ]

The writers need to stand together if the strike goes through. Unlike back in "88 when a more than a few didn't honor their own strike efforts leading to where we are right now.

This video was hilarious!!!

I hope there's more where that came from.

[raproducer]

Get ready for a lot of reality Hollywood. Literally.

[Imagitv]

LOL.

[galryer]

Very cool! Go writers go!

BTW- hogwartsdetention, Clive Cussler wrote the book "Sahara", but Thomas Dean Donnely, Joshua Oppenheimer, John C. Richards and James V. Hart wrote the screenplay.

[steaditex]

Well done!  I hope the strike can be avoided (I'm a camera operator), but the writers need to be properly compensated. You can have the best actors, director, sets, costumes, cinematographer and crew in the world, but if you ain't got a good story you ain't got $H1T!!

[concretewhole]

Click clack, get back, 'fore you feel that

[flickertynumnuts]

Great! Hollywood writers go on strike, about bloody time!

[backlotops]

You know, if you ain't reading "it" after you wrote "it", "it" could be realiTV ... hmm ...

[backlotops]

a new season of hits: ... "INKside: the Lives of WGA Strikers" - the daily grind follows 30 writers, "Pen is Mightier than the Sword" battling bureaucracy one form at a time - "Eloquent Musings" WGA on the unemployment line.

[hogwartsdetention]

I'd give the guy in the silver shirt $20 bucks to do bad things to me,-YUMMY!

OHHHHHH- and CLIVE CUSSLER wrote SAHARA!! The best selling book that is w/ blood, violence and non stop action! The movie was like "Hello Kitty goes treasure hunting."

[SmudgeSeymour]

This is really great....oh yeah...it's well written!!!

[chillincoder]

Wish I'd thought of it. Oh hell, I'll just do a parody with 5 sequels.

[yourauntiekris]

no, markthecrap, nothing is more hilarious than entertainment workers pulling down union wages complaining about the people who make your job possible.

There's a reason half of all screenplays produced these days are from other material. Because it is HARD! It all begins with the writer.

Did you know that the writers of animated movies you and your kids love do not get a cut of the DVD sales? Yet the Voice Actor does. Is that fair?

[snoopyd99]

This video is awesome! Funyy but with a strong message - something you never see in comedy these days. I really liked the tag at the end with the fry cook: "Subtext $5". Hilarious!

[hipfilms]

us POOR producers need money TOO

[raproducer]

as per the "reality" aspect of strike which covers reality producers who really are poor.

[LizabethTucker]

I liked it, really liked this. However, just to let anyone who might be inclined to hire a SCAB, I'm here!! Ready to take up the slack (considering some television series out right now, I couldn't do worse).

[hairhorn]

"writers' strike," no?

you are writers after all...

[hudsonmilbank]

Perfect timing. HILARIOUS!! Just saw Goldberg's NUMB at in Austin Film Festival. BRILLIANT!!

[beccaboo65]

Phenomenally funny!!

[amble84]

Wow -- this is so creative and hilarious! From the music to the performances to the sound effect of bowling pins being taken down when the genius behind "Sweet Home Alabama" strikes out, it's all comedy gold.

What would we do without writers like these?

[Diskomprod]

Hah hah, top notch! Bring on more of the same!

[speakingof]

Kudos.

[jnh3]

Thank you, writers, for bringing wit to an extremely serious strike. Unity!

[anicaasharp]

i love you, bryan fuller. you're no good to me when you're not writing.

[theyoungcommander]

I've got notes.

[coolrepublica]

"House" writers please don't strike. I doubt the manatees could do as good a job as you guys. Great job, always!

[coolrepublica]

Hopefully it will never get bad enough that writers need to prostitutes themselves. But I hear that if the strike does go on, the manatees are ready to pump out new scripts (we won't even know the writers were on strike.)

I hope the writers for the show Heroes will take the time off to rethink the ridiculous plots they are dreaming up. I would welcome the strike just so the Heroes writers can get their senses back.

[zonka17]

Silly/ Funny

[mbuckowski]

I love this!

[Perseta]

Brilliant.

[mamabearmeatball]

Hysterical!!

[Halsbaby]

I love it!

[Bettysuela]

Oh my Gawd...How hysterical.

[elenamelanie]

Hilarious!

[dominantprimate]

WRITEOUS!! -O
