Seth Rogan and Vanity Fair...Come on really!?

I recently found out Seth Rogan ripped off the image of me as Frida Kahlo in last months Vanity Fair.

Most ‘up and coming’ comedians would be furious if a successful Hollywood comedian plagiarized them in a publication they could only dream of being featured in. But not me. I don’t care if Seth Rogan stole my most cherished publicity image. Why? Because I believe that obese men should be given a fair chance. I mean it must be hard to be obese; You have more trouble breathing. Women only love you for your success and money (definitely not your good looks). You die sooner etc. This is the real injustice here. God’s plagiary, if you will. And because I’m gracefully slender, carved like a Michelangelo sculpture, I get to live a nice long life. Rogan’s fat plagiary eases at least a little of the guilt I feel in being so much more blessed by God’s great glory.

Besides, how many people actually must have seen my original image? Let’s see, the only time it really got into public view was when I had it published by the Montréal Mirror during the 2008 Just for Laughs Comedy Festival. I also had it printed on a beautiful little flyer, if I do say so myself, and had it scattered about all the venues and parties during the festival. Had he performed in the festival last year, you’d think that was where and when Seth Rogan appropriated my image. (If only he was in some sort of Judd Apatow showcase that had a bad pun in its name like ‘Apatow for Destruction’.) Other than that, I use is it as a title on my website(see left) and I’m sure that fans (who am I kidding?) will soon accuse me of ripping off the fellow Vancouver native. In total, maybe only a few thousand people have ever seen my Frida Kahlo image. Which is pretty much a negligible amount considering the amount of people who tweet the words ‘Seth Rogan’ every 5 seconds probably puts my few thousand to shame. But good for him, really. I should be honored to give Mr. Rogan, a practically handicapped with obesity man, a helpful hand in creating original ideas. And you know what? I am honored. You’re welcome Seth Rogan.

p.s. I just found out he had lost weight and was now of ‘normal’ size. This is bad news for me.

Such a Slut

This is something i did to make a few hundred bucks. So sue me. Actually don’t, I can’t afford it yet.

Pacific Northwest 'Zach and Avery' Screenings

Feature length comedy directed by Sean Devlin is being screened in Portland, Seattle and Vancouver. See it. It was my first movie. Other cast includes other awesome people like Shane Koyzcan (Canadian poet laureate), Graham Clark, and Zach Galifianakis. It won ‘Best Comedy/Drama’ at the ‘Black Earth Film Festival’ in Illinois and was an offical selection at the ‘Paris/Berlin Recontres Internationale’. Here is the trailer:

Only Magazine Article

One of my favourite vancouver weekly’s, Only Magazine, who chickened out and went online ‘only’(heheh)(gunshot), published a post about me called ‘college was okay’. This is what they said:

_{Vancouver comedian Aubrey Tennent sent us a video he made a couple weeks ago that he claimed was made just for our website but we’ve found it on both YouTube and Myspace. It’s probably elsewhere too but we don’t care enough to look. Despite being a huge fucking liar, the video was hilarious so we had to post it.}
-only magazine

I never said it was ‘just’ for them. And i definitely had them in mind when i made it. So who is the huge fucking liar now only magazine? I appreciate the publicity though. It gave my video 3 more views.

Scum and Villainy

This is really exciting. Melissa Teran, who helped the Whitest Kids U’Know’s live show, asked me to host the new show as the Whitest Kids are off shooting the 2nd season of their tv show. This poster was a gift from Mad Magazine. My nine year old self would have a bonor.

My Imaginary Friends

I have a lot of friends. I mean A LOT. The cool thing is that most of them are imaginary. This is a video that I made of some of the good times my imaginary friends and I have. Watch it.

Live Reading of 'Mr. Brownstone'

This is a live reading of one of the two plays written by the Virginia tech massacre’er. Too soon? That’s the point. We were really drunk.

Remember when i used to have content on this site.

Its all stupid live shows and no goods. Well goddamn it. Here are some goods.
I’ve realized something very important this new year (2007). I wanna dance. I love to dance. I had no idea before but now i’m positive. This is an audition tape for any rap groups or any other musicians that might need some sexy dancer men.

I got my own comedy show.

I’m so excited about our new show at the Cobalt. Paul Anthony is hosting it with me and the first show looks amazing. We got Mr.Plow, Graham himself, Dylan, Paul Anthony has something awesome, and also, for the first time ever, Sean Devlin, Kevin Lee, Taz Van Rassle, Ryan Beil are doing something together. Especially for you Melody Mangler is going to do a number. And Seth Perry to rock the mic. I’m trying to get a stand-up, some improv, sketch, and burlesque all in each show. Hope it works.

The director was stark raving mad at us.

Back in the Summer of 2001 when the america was still a virgin, Dylan Rhymer and I were extra’s in an excellent film by Drew Daywalt and David Schneider called Stark Raving Mad. The movie featured Seann William Scott and Lou Diamond Phillips just to name a couple of the big names. Local comedians, Damonde Tschritter and John Beuhler also had speaking roles.
Dylan and i tried really wanted to be in the movie too. Dylan was dancing a lot like a chicken cause at the time he had big hair and i just wanted to act with my hero Sean William Scott. Try and spot Dylan and I.

Scene from Stark Raving Mad – 3mb (quicktime)

The next day when we arrived on set, the first assistant director ran up to us and said “See that man standing behind the camera? That’s the director. Stay as far away from him as possible. He saw you on the footage they shot yesturday and he’s really really pissed off at you two. He said ‘you ruined his dream’. Actually, why don’t you go back to holding.”
I think any dream that involves Seann William Scott is a good dream still.
