Hello there, I am not Stephen Winchell

Hey there internet! My name's Sean Rose and I'm the Vice President (and currently the other half of) Wilhelm, a brand-new UConn-based sketch comedy group that I guarantee you will be really great. Steve and I decided to form a group because we both think that we're really great and funny guys and we figured this would be a nice way to boost our egos even further. That may make us delusional, but hey, it feels pretty good.

Haha, see, that was a little self-deprecating joke there! I hope you enjoyed it. But in all seriousness, we're going to be having auditions very early on during UConn's fall '07 semester (probably sometime in September) and we're hoping for a nice turnout. I'm sure plenty of you will be seeing Wilhelm fliers all over campus next year. For some of you, these fliers will become a nuisance very quickly. But for those of you who think you are "funny" and enjoy "comedy" you will love and cherish these fliers, because they are made just for you.

What we're really looking for are smart, talented people who can write and perform sketches with us - people who genuinely love comedy. We're also looking for dedication; people who have a thousand club duties on campus or can only make one meeting a semester need not apply. Also it helps if you have the same taste as us, 'cause I think we have pretty good tastes. If you're a brilliant comedian and you happen to think that "Accepted" is a great film, I have to admit, I will kind of think less of you. (We'd probably let you in anyway.)

Anyway, I can't think of anything else to say, so I'll get the ball rolling and post up some links to some of my favorite sketches.

- I'll start off with my favorite Mr. Show sketch, "Shoecourt Shoe Interview". One of the best, tightest sketches I've ever seen. "IT WAS FOR CHARITY!"

- I can't decide on my favorite Kids In The Hall sketch so I'll go with "Citizen Kane". It seems to sum them up pretty well. Sorry for the crappy quality.

- Here is my absolute favorite Will Ferrell moment, the "Mr. Tarkanian" sketch from SNL. If you've ever wanted to hear Will Ferrell shout "Get over here you crazy black man, I'm going to make you drink my piss" or "I am this close to raping you" on live television, then this is the sketch you've been waiting for.

- Hey, here's a funny Stella short I just watched for the first time like five minutes ago! Hurrah!

- And finally, to delve into the unintentionally hilarious-barrel, here's a little Gamepro TV. No, it's not a sketch, but if you've been playing video games for as long as I have, it might as well be the most entertaining video on the internet.

Have a good night, folks. (See, saying "folks" makes me feel rustic.)

- Sean
