Latest vid comedy site BushLeague.tv debuts
The handiwork of various and sundry L.A. comedians/actors/writers, BushLeague.tv is a hodge podge of dude-analia, i.e., in their words, "jackass opinions on video games, tech, news, sports, boobs, 101's, and all the other essential tools every dude needs" -- a suh-weet grab bag that apparently doesn't have room for "original premise." The site's a combo of HBO/AOL's failed vidblog This Just In and vote-centric sites like Funny or Die: Every post is voted by readers as "sweet" or "bush," with the top posts ranked on a scoreboard, e.g., the top earner ("I Got My Hippie Shuffle On Last Night"), a how-to vid ("How to Change Your Oil"), and a post about an Eagle that was shot in the face titled "As AMERICAN as MOM, apple pie, and rhinoplasty."
All in all, the site's chock full of tepid puns and smarmy exclamations, and suffers from a lack of a cohesive voice and, apparently, juiced up stats -- on its first day, none of the posts have been voted "bush," but every post has a surfeit of "sweets." The site has promise, though, if the writers can focus their message and stop hoping against hope that the Internet needs yet another group blog produced by charming asshats.
