Funemployed – Ep 11 – Series FINALE – Gave it a shot.

THANK YOU for following us this past month and making our first ever web series a huge success! It meant so much to see the enthusiasm and positive response. We wouldn’t be able to make these videos without you and your support by watching and sharing with your friends. We couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you.

Though this is the end of “Funemployed” you can be sure that there are many more things ahead for KevJumba and Wong Fu Productions. We’ve learned a lot from this project, and hope that we can make more web series in the future! As long as you want them =)

“Dance To This Song” music video coming TUESDAY Aug 3rd to KevJumba’s channel!!

5 Swirlies

“Wait. We won, right?”
“Well I sure hope so! ‘Cos if not then this nice handsome man walked all this way for nothing!”

Surprise, surprise! Judy has dumped Douche (Duke) for Jason!!! Awwww!!! It’s shocking that Judy dated Duke to begin with, he’s so revolting. (“Hey Cindy! Hey, sexy! What’s going on? That looks sexy on you. You should hike it up a bit.” ?? EWW.) She’s so sweet. Well, maybe it’s not so shocking because she’s so nice.

So Kyle, Jason, and Aaron are hanging out at home waiting to see if NigaHiga will show up at their door to announce that they have won the contest (the grand prize: $50,000). Imagine Kyle’s horror when the door knocks and it’s Judy. Then NigaHiga worms his way into their living room to surprise them with the GRAND PRIZE!!!!

I gave this episode 5 swirlies because it really hits home the fundamental thing that drives the whole series, which is also at the heart of the work of KevJumba, Kina Grannis, David Choi, NigaHiga, the WongFuProductions crew, and all of the other YouTube celebs that made this series happen. And in the hearts of anybody trying to produce creative work, period. Judy summed it up well in the last episode: “I feel like we all deserve to be excited about what we do.” And the joyous celebration at the end of this episode really makes you see the excitement and passion that has gone behind the entire series. Even if they hadn’t won the prize, the message would still have hit home.

Do what you love, and love what you do!

Now it makes me wanna go out there and make things I wanna make!

Congratulations to Wong Fu Productions and everybody involved on a really funny, inspiring, and thought-provoking webseries!!!!

We Need Girlfriends – Episode 1

The inaugural episode of Ragtag Productions new ongoing web series “We Need Girlfriends.”

2 Swirlies

“Suitcases!”

Sometimes ‘fine’ isn’t enough.

So, I’ll start with the reasons to watch. There’s one… one and a half… very funny scenes where Rod (I think) freaks out on Tom (I think) for going after a girl that he called “squirrel” on. And this creates a somewhat abrupt cliffhanger that actually made me wonder what’s going to happen next. Nice job.

As to the negatives, I won’t dwell on them except to say that everything else about this inaugural episode is fine. The production is fine, the writing is fine, the acting (for the most part) is fine. The first half could be a little faster. The biggest problem is that ‘fine’… well… kinda boring.

Things really picked up in the second half, so maybe the rest of the series will do the same.

This episode raises a tough ethical question. Is it okay to go after a buddy’s “squirrel”? What about you gals? Is there a rule about a guy your BFF has her eye on?

“Why I have so an hard feeling…?”

Nice twist on an internet stand by.

The gag here is an internet advice show starring a little kid who doesn’t want to have anything to do with it.

There’s not really too much to say about it. It’s pretty funny, and the central gag of Tran desperately trying to refuse to do the show gives the whole thing an emotional center to it that helps carry the piece. That being said, this one beat over and over also makes the show a tiny bit on the predictable side. (Hmm… am I putting too much thought into a funny cartoon?)

In this episode, Keith writes in to say he understands Tran, and Daniel asks about boners, prompting the perfectly over dramatic narrator to reveal a few of Tran’s embarrassing secrets.

Well animated (as always from Mondomedia), worth watching and (at least as importantly) nice and short.

Have any of you ever written into an internet advice show? Let us know about it!
