Los Angeles comedian/filmmaker and newcomer to The Daily Reel, Tim Mars recently captured what might have been a historic moment at a standup comedy show in Northridge. The video, which is appropriately grainy given its unexpectedness, features a 36-second standup set - which may be the shortest set in history - from standup comic Brian Swineheart. The clip is good, but the best part might be comedian Chris D'Elia's attempt to follow the 36-second wonder which features some fantastic riffing on what has just occurred.

Time for a bit of self-promotion as Whip It Out Comedy's newest video release hit the Net today. It's the first episode in a new series called DUMBBELLS, which revolves around a pair of unlikely guys who inherit a gym and become personal trainers by default. The episode features Kyle Kinane (a recent addition to the Daily Reel community), Matt Braunger, and Sherry Sirof. Check it out...

As you all have surely noticed, the Daily Reel is adding more and more talented comedy video makers every day and we're happy to be able to feature them every once in a while on the Daily Reel Comedy blog. Today, we'd like to feature one of the site's newer members, sketch group Green and Gray, who have churned out a bunch of entertaining videos including this clip which revolves around a mugger who hasn't quite gotten the hang of his new gig. Check it out...

The web's newest tradition - comedy music video Friday here at the Daily Reel - continues with a shout out to new Daily Reeler J Chris Newberg and his music video for The Ultimate Breakup Song. Check it out...

WhipItOutComedy.com has announced that they will be releasing a brand new video every Wednesday (subscribe to their YouTube channel here), and to kick things off today they released this video which takes a closer look at one of the biggest web phenomenons of the moment - the mysterious JJ Abrams' upcoming movie "Cloverfield."

Is it possible to be funny and try to save the world at the same time? Apparently, based on the clips coming out of Project Phin (aka Los Angeles comedian/sketch actor Mark Phinney) it is. Phin is putting a lot of "energy" into these clips which encourage people to save the planet - or at least clean it up a little. He's also managed to rope in some familiar faces like Ben Affleck, Sarah Silverman, and Jason Biggs to help his cause. Check it out...

One of the biggest hassles in producing online videos where you are dealing with talent, filmmakers, editors and producers is trying to figure out a good way to show everybody rough cuts of your work and get everybody's comments. I recently discovered Pando, which is a super-simple way to transfer large video files to a whole bunch of people via email. All you have to do is download the free Pando software, upload your video, and email away to anybody you want. Then they just have to download the software, log on, and check out the video. Highly recommended for video makers of any kind.

Now seems like as good a time as any to start a new tradition here at
Daily Reel Comedy so we decided that from now on every Friday we are
going to feature a comedy music video. Music videos work really well
online and there's no shortage of good ones out there, but we'll kick
this off with one of our favorites - "Shut Up and Make Out" by New
York-based ukelele rockers The Hazzards.
