"Donny my bags aren't going to pack themselves." What the .... is going on in this household?

episode #2 is the best so far

Best. Tutorial. Set. Ever.

DONNIE!!!

It's too perfect: My assumption is that the woman screaming "Donnie" is a recording of his ex-wife. If not, then it's a sample from a movie, but I can't figure out which one.

Either way, please, someone who knows this guy, tell him to do a full-fledged documentary on his own life, as I find him endlessly fascinating.

I know it's early, but I think the word for 2008 will be "Donnie!"

I can totally identify with this, if you're a guy in a marriage or long .... committment and your 'better half' is screaming your name for her beck and call...truly hell on earth, the worst eva! lol.

@ #6
"It's too perfect"

What, you thought for one second that it was actually real? Comic genius it may be, but autobiographical it is not.

sorry, that was @ #5

meat stick! whore hand....

episode 2 totally rules, but this one gets me laughing out loud, too -- i love how is voice starts breaking as if from a combined emotional stew of stress and pain. awesome.

I actually learned something -- never bothered much with adjusting "flow" on the eraser or brush. Thanks, Donnie.

[#13 posted by HarshLanguage , January 18, 2008 5:56 PM]

The pathetic, defeated (and ironic) "No problem" at the end was the best part IMHO. But it's all hilarious.

I don't think you're actually supposed to learn anything – at least I hope so. For example, in a real tutorial, showing the lasso technique without also mentioning the patch tool would be criminally insane. Of course you still can learn stuff – if you suck at Photoshop :-p

Man, those are funny. Looking forward to the next one!

#14 Nex, I'm glad I suck at photoshop so that I can learn from this guy :p I can't stand dry, serious tutorials.

People, come on, it's fiction ok? His wife, if he is even married, probably loves playing her part.

horribly, but inexorably; this is more than good enough to create a TV series from

I suggest that BoingBoing send someone to interview him for BoingBoingTV. I also suggest that BoingBoing try the sushi place near my house, it's excellent.

@Stu Mark
Hahaha uh dude, it's completely fictional. I thought that was clear.

[#21 posted by HouseofJules , January 18, 2008 9:33 PM]

I don't know what happened to what I just tried to comment, but it's nowhere to be found. Anyway, this was hilarious and I thank you for bringing DONNIE (!) to my attention. Must blog about this ASAP.

I think we need some "You Suck at Discerning Humor" tutorials. Sheesh. Reminds me of the "long horse."

[#23 posted by Bren , January 18, 2008 11:59 PM]

It sounds just a few degrees treble-up of being done by Ron Moore and his wife Terry, just for kicks.

Heh.

I just love it. I don't care who this guy is. This is all kinds of terrific comedic art.

@ #18:

Quiet! Don't give the TV people any ideas. After the demise of the GEICO cavemen, they're going to be looking for ideas just to hurt us.

This is even funnier when you know that it's a parody of the radiant vista photoshop tutorials and daily critiques at:

I love this guy. And yes, this is exactly what happens at my house when I'm working on a new article or something.

[#27 posted by the_boy , January 19, 2008 9:27 AM]

These are great. I'm waiting for the "If this van's a rockin', some guy named Ricky is drilling my wife" shirts.

[#28 posted by Anonymous , January 19, 2008 10:23 AM]

This one wasn't really funny, but kind of sad.

[#29 posted by PeaceLove , January 19, 2008 3:02 PM]

That's almost certainly Dane Cook, which makes this a brilliant viral marketing ploy for a guy widely hated by critics over 30 and beloved by his hordes of young fans. I think Cook has found the perfect vehicle for his dry style here.

At the very least, he's got a lot of new fans.

[#30 posted by Antinous , January 19, 2008 4:09 PM]

Peacelove,

If so, the side graphics in the second video (images of Dane Cook with file names like douche.jpg) would now make perfect sense.

I am now totally involved in the soap opera of DONNIE THE HENPECKED PHOTOSHOP PUNDIT.

I want to smack DONNIE for being whipped. Then I want to smack his shrew wife. Then I wonder, did anyone else see all the gun photos in the bridge in the first episode?
