Tom Scharpling Makes Good Music Videos
Here is the latest video directed by WFMU radio host Tom Scharpling, who is becoming a sort of indie-rock video auteur. His work is full of people in goofy costumes in pedestrian places and marked by a dorky, let's-put-on-a-show enthusiasm—albeit one tempered by a New Jersey native's acceptance that nothing's ever going to really work out anyway. Scharpling used to be a writer for the TV show "Monk," which was funny and great just like his videos. Watch more of them.
Tom Scharpling is a master craftsman of funny things.
@frank Agreed. I should really just set up a Tom Scharpling google alert and go to town on everything-related. Anyway, they're all good, but this newest video is his best.
@MParcells He's been on fire with the Best Show lately. I think for about ten years or so now.
Can we talk about this guy's commute? 23rd St. 6 to the Clinton-Washington G? It's a rare Pratt-alum party that's worth that.
Haha, he tweeted this already.
@hman Wait a sec, are you THE hman? If so, you GOMPed me during your very first apprentice-hosting gigs. Can we still be friends?
@DMcK I wish I was that hman.
Best farcical oldsters rockin kinda okay ever.
Re: the Stepkids: That is the SECOND time this month I've seen the Sir Digby Chicken Caesar camera trick used. (first was Tom Brady Uggs commercial).
Ton Scharpling can do no wrong in my book. And he wasn't just a writer. he was, I believe, a co-executive producer at one point. Though to this day I still don't know what that entails.
