I like the B&W cards a bit, but in a way they're kind of made to be ephemeral because of their weekly text-only nature, which maybe is why I don't connect too deeply with them. Although there are some gems in there, tons of hilarious stuff, and the whole retro feeling makes them endearing.

After the few recent good steps they'd had, the new We're Toast bump is more of that promo team drivel. :|

Dont Haunt Me

There's really no bumps I can't stand, except for the Retro CG ones. I've no sympathy for those and their creators.

Once again, those owl bumps are the best, I cannot emphasize that enough.
It don't matter, none'a this matters.

I thought that We're Toast clip is a promo.

Off the top of my head, I think there are two incarnations of this. One was attached to a promo and one is stand-alone. The tough call is the stand-alone, if I recall correctly, was in a typical bump slot but during one of the shows that doesn't always have bumps.  :|

If I could remember exactly when that was it would be easier to be clear about what I'm trying to say...  :-P ... or maybe I'm just really tired and my brain is making stuff up.

Okie dokie, it appears some of these things were outsourced.

It also appears that Awesome Incorporated is somehow associated with Bluetube - both have done a lot of work for [as] - and it's weird that I ran across this info today because I was just watching Harvey Birdman DVDs with a friend and noticed Michael Kohler's name in the credits. I knew he had specifically done the Sopranstones parody opening for the episode "The Dabba Don" but when my friend commented on the number of one-off songs in the background audio I started wondering if he was responsible for those as well. Awesome Inc. is also responsible for the weird Altoids ad and based on this: http://vimeo.com/11844508  I'm guessing the shoe ad that shares the Universal Bump's music.
