Snapple Facts, People!

Snapple Cap Facts. Written by Sean Clements and first performed by Stone Cold Fox at Maude Night. Starring Joe Spellman, Sean, Ben Rodgers (taking over for Scott Courlander who was in a play), Fran Gillespie. Directed by me, shot by Todd Bieber and edited by Carmen Angelica. One of my favorite sketches ever!

For you Snapple sketch completists, watch the original live performance below. Although he’s also great in the video, this live performance lets you see Spellman take over even more. Maude Night = good.

Because I’m drunk on the freedom of YouTube to do whatever I want, I guess. It’s nice to have funny friends who will show up and shoot for an hour with zero prep, too.

Gavin and the rest of Rogue Elephant are doing a sketch show tonight. Maybe you go, yes?

Oh, you want MORE trivia on that 2.5 minute video? [...]
