billboard

A collaboration of Justin Roiland and Chaos Chaos actually got enough streams and purchased downloads with the sublime and ridiculous song “Terryfold” from a recent episode of Rick and Morty to get #33 on Billboard.

The song itself seems like a cross between Liam Lynch and Tame Impala, but more importantly it shows the reach that Rick and Morty has. Just like Last Week Tonight has been suspected of having a “John Oliver Effect”, Roiland and Harmon might be responsible for a “Rick and Morty Effect” (remember the Szechuan sauce?)

Several weeks ago, Zach Broussard released his list of his picks for the Top 1000 Comedians of 2016. Not satisfied with just posting the list online, Broussard enlisted a billboard company to put all 100 names across a handful of billboards across LA.

Thus, a fun scavenger hunt to see who made the list was born. You can actually still see where the billboards are in LA here and see the picks in person for one more week.

However, the billboard for comedians 600-501 did not get posted.

Due to some sort of clerical error, you could have only see 900 of the 1000 of Broussard’s list. Thankfully, today, he posted what would have gone up on a billboard for those 100 names as you can see in the image above.

Mo Mandel Attempts to Make a Promo with a Digital Billboard for His New Seeso Special “Negative Reinforcement”

Having your own face on a billboard, especially on the legendary Sunset Strip in WeHo, is quite the milestone for any entertainer.

That’s why Mo Mandel wanted to make a promo for his brand new stand-up special Negative Reinforcement, which started streaming on Seeso this week, showing off his visage on the heart of The Sunset Strip.

However, you should know that the ad for Mo’s special is on a digital billboard that rotates through a cycle of plenty of other ads. He still gave a shot at making a promo anyway.

Oh, also, you should go watch Negative Reinforcement on Seeso since Mo is pretty damn funny as shown in these clips of said special.

Last week, Nathan Fielder unveiled the billboard to promote the new, upcoming season of his show Nathan For You. The billboard had such a striking resemblance to a billboard from NBC’s The Blacklist that any and all that saw it took it as parody.

However, while on last night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, Fielder stresses in every which way he can that he’s not ripping off The Blacklist billboard.

It’s all just more genius meta level marketing from Nathan, which is probably the best reason for you tuning to the season 3 premiere on Comedy Central this Thursday at 10PM.

The special Tig Notaro: Boyish Girl Interrupted premieres on HBO on Aug. 22nd.

To get the word out, Tig not only has a giant billboard on the side of a tall building, she also made sure to stand near it, so she could point it to anyone walking, running, or driving by.

If you get a chance to point out your own billboard, it looks like you should absolutely do it.

Billboard has just reported their official chart toppers and it Weird Al Yankovic has indeed made it to #1 with his latest album Mandatory Fun. This is an overdue first for Weird Al.

We’re not surprised given how well crafted both the album and music videos were as well as Yankovic’s release strategy across the wild plains of the Internet.

Even more impressive than that is Mandatory Fun now rests as the sole comedy album to reach the top of the charts this millennium as the last #1 comedy album was released in 1963 with Allan Sherman’s My Son, The Nut.

Nerdist, Funny or Die, College Humor, Vevo, Yahoo!, Pop Crush, Amazon, and even The Wall Street Journal all got to release one of Weird Al Yankovic’s 8 music videos from his new album Mandatory Fun.

To our knowledge, there hasn’t been such an expansive rollout of music videos over so many brands that make or host original content and, as you might imagine, this move has gotten Yankovic has gotten tons of views and a #1 album overall on iTunes as well as possible #1 album on Billboard.

For any album, not just a musical comedy parody album, that’s impressive.
