At Catalyst Dallas, I bet Tripp he couldn’t hit me with a football from 20 yards away. I was so confident in his lack of skill, I let them blindfold me so I wouldn’t flinch.

Naturally, Tripp cheated and brought out Dallas Cowboys quarterback, Tony Romo, to do the job for him.

Since Christmas season is upon us, I thought I’d repost one of the first videos Tripp and I ever wrote together, nearly five years ago. How we got to work with one of our life-long comedy mentors, Jeff Foxworthy, is beyond us.

Hope you enjoy the standard def!

Congrats to Joey Espinosa for winning yesterday’s Mendmark shirt. Sadly, your bucket list item of hang gliding with me will never happen, due to my unreasonable fear of heights. Email me your address and the Mendmark guys will send it your way.

Tripp and I have been waiting 9 months to show you this video.

Alas, today is the day. Click the picture below to go watch it.

Here are a couple more videos that I’ve been a part of lately.

This first one is a more-slapstick-than-normal sketch that Tripp and I did recently for Northpoint’s TenBefore segment. We were pretty excited since no joke about green screens has ever been done before…ever.

This next one is a sketch I wrote for Northpoint’s Married Life, obviously based on these gems from PS3.

I’m at Catalyst West all week. If you want to keep up with the goings-on, follow me on Twitter or check catalystbackstage.com on Thursday and Friday.

Priority #1 today: Visit Scott Moore’s blog for the first round of our TV March Madness. I’ve got the masterful David Brent going up against a pretty brutal opponent in Tracy Jordan. Be sure to vote.

Priority #2 today: Read and watch…

Sometimes companies will hire Tripp and I to create funny videos for them. Sometimes we know the people. Sometimes they’re completely out of nowhere. Here are a couple that we’ve recently done:

This first one was for a company called EMA. According to their website, they “provide domestic and international field and repair shop services on motor drives and a variety of other industrial electronic equipment.” How do you make a funny video about that? Here’s what we came up with:

This next one is for a company called Beck. I’m not 100% sure what they do. They just wanted something funny that had to do with church facilities. Cue Sandy Dingle:
