American Cookbook: Apple Pie
Just in time for Independence Day, Karen Lurie and Nick Poppy (director of "Zombie-American" with Ed Helms) have crafted a sly patriotic how-to video about that most all-American of tasty treats: apple pie. The first of a number of forthcoming "American Cookbook" episodes -- "inspired by our love of America, the Cold War, instructional films and baked goods," says Poppy -- the film is a clever and simply-constructed send-up of all of the above. Three or four other episodes are on the way, one a week for the next month, according to Poppy, who also makes a living doing behind-the-scenes videos for Comedy Central. The duo have several other short-form comedy videos in the works.

If you don't love apple pie, you're a Communist. Or possibly a homosexual.
