About Me

Pothedz Couch filmed its first episode on April 20th, 2005, using old footage we shot in college (like 5 or 6 years ago) and new stuff filmed on our couch here in New York City. It combines puppets, animation, and real people we either recruit or just run into on the street. The first episode premiered on MNN (Manhattan Neighborhood Network)on Tuesday, June 26, at 11PM. We finished a series run that aired every other Monday from September 26th to December 5th, 2005. Check out our website at http://www.pothedzcouch.com for episodes,deleted scenes, games, and more! All of the first 5 episodes (28 min. each) can now be found on Google Video! Check 'em out. (Click below to watch an episode)

Episode 1 - College Daze (Bongo Drums, Weed Phonecalls and Raves)-Mr. Bongo, a waterpipe, decides to make a reality show called 'The Couch', but when he tries to prove he's only called 'Bongo' because he played the bongo drums in college, the videotape reveals a little more about his and Nic's college life than he meant to show.

Episode 2 - The Weed Fairy and Dave Chappelle-Pothed helps Bongo find his inner person with a peyote trip down memory lane. Then Pothed and Nic record over Bongo's show with the help of a dancing squirrel and the Weed Fairy. Dave Chappelle guest stars in an old clip from college.

Episode 3 - Public Access (Pothedz Take Manhattan)-In this episode, with time running out, the guys decide to make the show more "public access" style. Bongo and Pothed go on a walk to Times Square that ends with Pothed getting an audition to be a stand up comedian at HA! Comedy Club. Meanwhile, Nic imitates other public access shows like that crazy piano lady (Stand By Me w/Margatita Pracatan) and those call-in shows (like the show YOU).

Episode 4 - A Woman's Touch (Beer, racism, war, and weed)-Pothed takes on a new roommate, Pamela, whose desire to change the world proves contagious. The guys try to tackle all the big issues from racism, to the war in Iraq, to the legalization of weed in an attempt to impress this sexy newcomer.

Episode 5 - Stifler and The Bong of Eternal Stench - The reality of trying to work and live in New York City while trying to make a TV show has finally caught up with Mr. Bongo, Nic, and Pothed, so they take the cameras to work with them! Seann William Scott (Stifler from American Pie) makes a cameo in 'Bongo's Work Tape', Nic answers e-mails in an homage to StrongBad from Homestarrunner.com, Pamela gets drunk in an old tape from New Year's, and Nic's cousin Noop (who has a Newport box for a head) drops by. Also, you won't want to miss the latest Weed Fairy Tale - The Bong of Eternal Stench and 'Pothedz Couch' - The Commercial
