The Big Straight Sketch Show

In an effort to expand the audience of its sketch comedy show The Big Gay Sketch Show, Logo decided to experiment with turning it into The Big Straight Sketch Show, and sent us these short behind-the-scenes/making-of episodes.

My favorite part so far is in the second episode, when the network exec informs the cast of the change: Julie Goldman flips them off, Kate McKinnon ignores it all and just keeps chatting with Lance Bass on her cell phone, and Erica Ash rants, "In America, this is what we call some bulls--t!"

Check this blog post for a new episode each weekday (except Fridays) through Nov. 15.

    I can't watch it =(

    This is great =D I watched the first episode and it's hilarious.

    The second Episode won't go past about 1 minute, though, and then it starts again. This is really not the best player, because it doesn't load the whole video, so people with slower connections have to watch 3 seconds and then wait for the next 3 seconds to load :P

    Any chance you'll post this on Daily Motion or Veoh?

    Thanks =)

    I'm glad it's not just me...

    I'm glad it's not just me... neither video will load for me at all. I've never had major issues with any of the other players, just this one.

    All the other players work just fine... I don't know what's up with this one... I really wanna watch this =(

     I laughed so hard my roommate almost had to give me CPR from lack of air. Not that I would have minded. Anywho.....

    Very, very funny.

    "Teapot was a bitch..." LOL
    "straight pimp... I love ladies."

    What this show needs is a dominatrix... and in lieu of that Leisha Hailey.

    This is funny. I'd watch. Second epi was "some "bu--sh*t." LOL It was ridiculous when they were trying to come up with straight content. They had no clue LOL. And umm.. "tea-bagging?" I'm not even gonna comment.

     

    Don't be a slave to the unavailable!

    Wow-That's Horribly Awesome.  I agree with Ms. Fashionista- I'd be "gangry" too!!
    beth5415's picture

    Good vibes for season 2

    If the show is as funny as this, I'll be TiVoing it every week. I love the cast "reactions" to the big news! Especially, the "muse and the spirit" educating! Awesome processing!

    if they were serious ...

    I would be really sad. I mean, I know how white heterosexuals are unrepresented and all, but ........

    "I am she who speaks with a snap!" LOVE IT!

    has anyone seen the Stephen Guarino 30 second spot for the "Big Straight Sketch Show" on Logo? HI-LARIOUS.

     

    Naming is a difficult and time-consuming process; it concerns essences, and it means power. But on wild nights who can call you home? Only the one who knows your name.

    Julie Goldman

    A straight sketch show played by gay actors? Never been done before? I laughed so hard. Julie's doing a documentary about gay whales? He's going to start thinking in the late morning. This is all so funny.

    Attention Sarah Warn!- tech issues

    I SO want to enjoy this video!! I love AE.com. I sift through it daily but I have to say the video experience is so difficult to enjoy on my iMac using Firefox or Safari, hooked up to my DSL. The video chugs horribly. The Brightcove player worked flawlessly. I know you've used it before. Not sure what's going on. Sorry to dampen the mood of this, otherwise, funny forum. :-(

    Where do I send my CV ?

    I want the job as CAE (Creative Audit Executive). I am fully qualified and totally creative.

    And I want to meet the Creative Accounting Director (I know very well how he must feel).

    #5

    Is by FAR my favorite. maybe it's because I'm an actor. Maybe it's because I've been in that scenario with having to love a straight boy played by a gay one (SOOOO awkward, btw). It's a good thing I'm the only one in the office today. I was full-on bellowing.

    By the way, some advice: If anyone is ever thinking of taking an acting class, make sure it doesn't resemble that.

    ...and she's called Henry and it’s a lot of explanation but don’t worry about it kids, Ok? Just tune in, turn off, drop out, drop in, switch off, switch on, and explode.

    episode 5

    "do you do private lessons...

    "sure, yes, do you think that would help?"

    ...in my pants?"

    lol...oh man that's great. I love Julie.

    Episode #5 my 2nd Fav so far!

     Keep us laughing BGSS/ BSSS!

     Season 5 is my 2nd Favorite so far!

    Julia Goldman is hilarious in this one!

    I keeptly understand pirategrrl! I find it hilarious to even watch Gay actors play staight roles. For any Gay or Lesbian actor to pull it off is a true actor.

    I love every one of these episodes, but the cast drunk and plotting their revenge was just too funny!

    At the end of episode 6...

    My favorite part of episode six was when they were plotting to kill the exec, and Kate McKinnon drunkenly slurred "...withuKNIFE!"  I laughed out loud on that one...
