Zach Broussard Is Trying to Make a ‘Sorta Marathon’ So Everyone Can “Run a Marathon”

September 12, 2017

Zach Broussard has spent a good deal of time and resources for large scale silly projects, which always peaks our interest. 

His latest endeavor is taking marathons down a peg or, more accurately, making them way shorter so anyone really can say that they ran a marathon.

What he has dubbed the “New York Sorta Marathon” will be a race, if it raises $8K by next Friday, that’s so short that most people on Earth could finish it without any training or even breaking a sweat.

See how short it is in this Kickstarter video. Also, take note of the great stretch goal of being able to pay a professional marathoner to finish last. 

Zach Broussard Reveals a Missing Billboard for His Top 1000 Comedians of 2016

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.

If you need to read the list more clearly, here are 600-501:

The Above Average series that pitched absurd projects for crowdfunding, Thingstarter, got to give themselves an upgrade when becoming a full-fledged series over at Seeso. 

Not only will there be questionable products, ideas, etc., but there will also be real life man-on-the-street tests of those products and ideas as well as intertwining story between the people that “came up” with whatever snake oil they happen to be testing.

See for yourself in the Thingstarter trailer, then check out the series starting May 19th on Seeso.
