My episode of Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show won’t be "officially" released until tomorrow, but thanks to my extensive contacts in the seedy and delicious underbelly of the Internets, I’ve secured access to the episode a full 24 hours early.
I did some interviews to support this episode, including one with Monsters & Critics that’s pretty awesome. As soon as I get links to the other ones, I’ll update. Because, uh, you know, everyone really wants to read a bunch of interviews that I did.
Ahem.
Oh! I have a bet with Greg and Kim that we can make the YouTube "most viewed" page before Friday night. I looked at my stats and saw that there’s a little over a million people (holyshitomg) reading my lame blog . . . i can haz most views?

Maybe I’m just too old, but am I missing something? That was just weird. I admit laughing out loud at the Russian bride, and the thrusting cow was pretty funny, but I just don’t get it the whole concept. Is it a parity of some show I’ve never seen? Is it funny to mock Asian culture? I don’t get it…Oh and Wil, you played an excellent pompous ass, (and the beard looks good).
Wow. Both brilliant *and* WTF? at the same time!
Swordsman69’s comment inspired me to do this little bit of Photoshop:

Wow. That was so amazingly disturbing and insanely funny I had to post it to my blog!
Mushy shorts!
Right. That went straight into my subconscious. I will dream about this tonight and then probably murder a customer, but hell, that was funny! 🙂
What the heck? That was truly strange.
Off topic, composer Alexander Courage passed away.

that was teh awesome
Wil, that was funny. So which was worse, the Russian Male Order Bride or the thrusting Cow Hips of doom right in your face?
I almost said, “Wil says, ‘Don’t be a dick'” on COD4 last night because it needed to be said. I want a shirt.
I wasn’t sure what would make being awake at 4am awesome… the answer is Wil “Mushy Shorts” Wheaton!
This is completely and totally awesome… more people need to be awake so I can send it to them!
And I thought we had some pretty ridiculous shows in England!
“I don’t want that!”
Now I’ve spat coffee all over my laptop dammit. Die Wheaton Die. Or do s’more of this awesome stuff 😀
Yay! This is on Fark now too! Woohoo!
That crazy PandaBee was snuffling you.
o_O Wow, that’s some cracked out program. Makes me wonder are they generally that silly in RL?
Hahahahaha *passes the craziness onto my friends*
I want to have your Russian Mail Order babies now. You are teh hawesome, ‘specially in the beard. Ferris Bueller, you’re my hero.
that is the most ridiculous and amazing thing i have seen this morning.
“Let’s be itchy and bold” nailed it. That was perfect. Whoever wrote that line should be queen of the planet.
I noticed in your interview that you mentioned Mel Brooks and Get Smart. I just heard on NPR that Harvey Corman (forever remembered as Hedley Lamar and Count D’Money) just died. Here’s the link:

Really it’s more like a few hundred thousand people reading this blog. Some of us check it 10 or 20 times a day while we avoid doing work… at work. But that’s still pretty impressive considering that in all the vastness of the semi-infinite internet, many thousands of people choose your blog to troll all day. If I had a blog I would only have about 10 hits a day and they would probably all be my mom.
So, ever since you first posted about the show, I’ve been waking every Friday morning in anticipation of a five minute beginning of awesomeness to the rest of my weekend. When you mentioned you would be appearing on the show soon, I could barely hold my squee inside. And now that I’ve watched it twice (okay, thrice) this morning, I can safely say that it is truly my favorite episode to date.
My fave quotes: “Change the summer camp to a concentration camp. Boom! Instant drama!” “Well, that was weird.” And, Kiko folding Mushy Shorts’s business card into an origami crane! Just priceless! Thanks for making my morning, Wil!
So, hope you had a fun wedding night there, Wil.
Funny stuff.
The beard is very effective in helping you portray the douche-like agent charcter. It’s evil Wil…evil Wil.
You could totally do Entourage with that character…
Awesome!
It’s not so much the great nom-de-chicken (Mushy Shorts) but the flower on the face thing. I just want to work that in with a matching unitard. Perhaps you could change the website picture.
This episode was so funny! I enjoyed it so much, I told all my friends to check it out.
I also saw your Twitter comment about Grimey. “Homer’s Enemy” is hands down my favorite Simpson’s episode. My father is the safety supervisor at a power plant and huge Simpson’s fan. He is pretty laid back and everyone likes him. Enter new boss: Mr. Grimes- real name- I shit you not. He can’t stand my father and his easy going attitude. My father starts calling him Grimey to everyone in the plant including Grimey himself. One day, Grimey calls my father to rant and rave about some paperwork. The very next day, Grimey is found dead of a heart attack at his desk with said paperwork in front of him. True story! Talk about life imitating art.
The pained expression on your face is priceless…
Oh holy crap, that was awesome. Nice beard, too. I was laughing so hard I think the other developers think I’ve completely lost it.
Hehe. Mushy Shorts! At the end of this, I was completely like, “WTF?” but it was so much fun. I’ll have to watch the rest of these episodes…
By the way, I read your GoD interview, it’s cool. I smiled when I read that you watch American Gladiators and ring the bell when Hulk Hogan says “Brother.” When I was up at school during the first season, we’d have a huge crowd watching it on Monday nights, counting how many times he said that and “Big Points.” We calculated that if we made the finale a drinking game and took a shot every time he said “Brother,” we’d die from intoxication.
this has nothing to do with your post so sorry, but my friend just sent me this and i thought it would crack you up (if you haven’t seen this already).

I can haz bearded flower?
Um…
I haz a cow suit…
Oh hell yes..
That was win, Wil. I’ve gotta print out a screen cap wall poster of you with that flower squeezed onto your head. <3
ZOMG, Wil! You totally pwned that beard… with your FACE! Hawt ;P
Russian male order bride?!?!? Yeah, looks like he got there in a hurry XD Didn’t even shave!!
Good to see you having fun!
How many times must I say this? This site’s photos must be updated to ROCK THE FACIAL HAIR, WIL!
Oh, and ‘mushy shorts’? Priceless!
Wil, I sent out the link to some friends and they really loved it. One person even said it was the best thing ever. Another thought your voice was familiar, but didn’t recognize you until the ending credits.
And, sorry for another off topic, but director Joespeh Pevney passed away. He directed some of the best Trek episodes, like “The Trouble with Tribbles” and “The City on the Edge of Forever”.

Am I the only one who found that really offensive?
Seriously. I’ve never seen GTCMS before, and, welllll…
yeah, that’s racist.
Not necessarily you, Will, but…the show was one Japanese stereotype after another. Just because the woman is Asian (she’s Korean; Korea and Japan don’t have the best relationship) doesn’t mean it’s ok.
WTF is Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show? Dude! That was like a bad high school acid flashback!
Although, I just have to say….you’re looking mighty hot despite having Mushy Shorts!
Hey Wil,
Lessee… 10:25 Eastern time zone and the video is on fourth page of the Most Viewed. Does that mean you win the bet?
OMG that was just way too funny. Your best role yet!!!! If it was a bit more PG I’d let my 8 year old daughter watch…. but then she would be singing that theme song for all of eternity.
Hope Mushy Shorts makes a come back or his own spin off series!
Oh, Mushy Shorts, this is unbelievably hilarious!
I fell off my chair when nature began pollinating your face.
And you and the cow are just priceless.
Alrighty, I’ve been doing my part, spreading this show around, trying to increase your hits. You don’t have to thank me. (Because you’ve unwittingly fed my costume addiction.)
However, now I have to spread around Retarded Policeman too. This has taken me all morning.
Seriously, I have to finish a version of a cow costume I started this week, before I knew you were a delicate bearded flower and a victim of police brutality. All this viral video is keeping me at the keyboard instead of the sewing machine. I have to finish my udders darn it!
Somehow I think you better include Anne when you go for the Quadrilogy and make it _Three_ Hot Girls or your shorts will definitely be mushy.
PS: I posted this on your facebook group:
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2221630732&ref=ts
And it was reposted by many.
I’ve watched it over and over just for that ending with UniCow. My face hurts now.
This was laugh out loud funny. You got the smarmy agent character down pat…not to mention a Russian mailored bride.
Did they let you keep that flower head-thing?
Oooookay.. That was WEIRD
lmol that was crazy…need to watch again after a few drinks!!
Oh my. So that’s what being on really strong hallucinogens feels like…!
Top-notch stuff, Wil – and you’ve actually found a character people will hate more than Wesley! Who knew it was possible? *runs away quickly*
Ari B, I can’t resist – you’re underestimating the Douche Side of the Force. I wouldn’t put it past some studio execs to change their name to something Jewish-sounding just to affect an air of financial savvy and business acumen. Really, there is no level of douchery that is unplumbable to some folk. Not that any of the studio execs I’ve met have been like that – they’ve all been lovely and wonderful and please keep hiring me. I love you guys.
Perfect. I think that facial hair adds some sexy. I loved the wink, and I think you were hilarious. Off to share with some friends.
You’ll get those million views yet! 😀
Oh Holy Hell! That was some serious funny there I tell you what.
I was chuckling hardest because my dog’s name is Keiko and somehow in the grand scheme of the episode that didn’t seem weird.
Nice to see I wasn’t the only one seeing a “Wil Riker” look there…
JF see this, and if so, is he suing for copyright infringement? 😛
awesome job, Wil.
