ASHEVILLE! The bit continues...

A while back Steve Delahoyde



applied to a online contest to create a travel video for the town of Asheville. Click here to see my previous post about it.

Asheville has posted the videos of the entrants! Now you can see the bit as it should be see, with Steve and Waki's alongside the other entrants. Hilarious. Great stunt. While it's funny to see it alongside the other entrants, do not begrudge Steve and Waki their previously selfless act of comedy. Selfless acts of comedy are one's in which you will not see the outcome. It's about the joke, it's not about you.

My favorite selfless bit of comedy was one Bart came up with. Wear a bright pink jumpsuit to an amusement park. And follow a family around and whenever they take a picture, run into the backdrop. So every picture, if they look close enough, will have this unmistakeable guy in a jumpsuit in the background.

I once took Bart to a party that Gillian invited me to. We found a camera and took our pictures with everybody at the party, then replaced it. Selfless. But Gillian did eventually get the pictures and give them to me, everybody we took our pictures with looks really freaked out.
