Valentine To Self




My good friend, Garrett Batty from Three Coin Productions, did all the filming, directing, and editing.

To find this on YouTube type in "Valentine to self." It should be near the top.

I love it. Let's do more.

Nothing says Valentines Day like a bomb in a box for yourself, from yourself. Well done, you.

Bringhursts said...

Speechless. That's what I am. I think it was you eating the sour cream straight from the container that did it to me. Way too funny.

lindsey said...

I am also speechless, or maybe dazed and confused.

All I can say is, sour cream? Just straight sour cream... that makes me sick!

Babe in Boysland said...

Ben, can I call you Ben? Comedic genius spews from my computer screen each time I look at theunmighty.com. Thanks.

(Bravo to your brother and Mr. Batty as well.)

Admiral Joe said...

I agree with Bringhurstie, the sour cream/french onion dip was my favorite part.

Lorell said...

My valentines gift was seeing you in those boxers. Yowzers.

Great vid! :) I really like your blog senor Quinn. In fact I tried to model mine after yours by putting a cool header every month....but I am nowhere near consistent enough...I still have turkey's up. :)

For the first time in seven years, I'm actually proud of you Ben. Well done. Perhaps it's time I started calling you "friend" in public*.

Dude, if you would have paid for postage, it wouldn't have kept being returned to you!

Do any of your students appreciate the pure genius that went into Valentine Bomb? I admit the sour cream was a great moment but my favorite was your heavenly expression when you licked the cupcake.

Let me know if you figure out a way to rise from being lower middle class. My boss refuses to pay me for over time. And my fellow teachers desert me in the middle of class.

theriddle said...

Oh that time of the month? Why didn't you say so in the first place! I totally understand that. Don't really worry about it. We sang and then it was over.

this vid didn't make any sense and left me empty and unsatisfied. who are all these people stroking your ego?

After all this time, I've finally linked to your blog. How could I forget?
I need to talk to you and Tom soon.

You guys are sick. But a good sick.

Oh yeah, laughed my face off...

Mr. Westenskow said...

This hit a little too close to home to be funny to me. A couple years ago I took some time off to get to know myself better. It turn out, I'm pretty insensitive. Thanks for addressing the issue in a tasteful way.

Ashley said...

I was laughing all the way to the sour cream. And then? I just mostly gagged. Funny...but seriously, sour cream? lol :)

I was filling out birthday cards today for my nieces and nefews when I thought "Maybe I should send a birthday card to myself this year- no one ever remembers me" I then had flashes of this video, and was reminded that doing so would confirm that I am complete loser.
