As you may have heard, we’ve been nominated for a 2008 Chicago Emmy for our work on the WTTW pilot IL-Informed! Well, the awards ceremony is tomorrow night — and because we’re already booked at the Lakeshore (see us at 8 and 11 pm!), we figured it’d be a good idea to pre-record our acceptance speech with none other than Schadenfriend Tim Smithe, a bona fide Walter E. Smithe Brother. Huge thanks to Tim, to Bill O’Neil for directing, and to everyone at their Lincoln Park Store — you dream it, they build it!
Formed in 1997, Schad began performing sketch comedy on Chicago’s north side. The troupe has since performed at countless venues around the world including The Goodman Theatre, The Second City, Steppenwolf, Lollapalooza, ImprovOlympic, the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre (LA), HERE (NYC) and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Extra Douchey – HOT
Everyone kills in this. Especially Tim. Wow!
And the rip off the mustache bit. Does it ever get old??
Directed by Bill O’Neil? Adam, this IS THE Bill O’Neil, right? I remember you telling me you bumped into him in Chicago recently.
“What’s your stupid name again?”
“Schadenfreude…. Sandy”
Hilarious,
BLK
Line-o-rama. This is going to last for years.
Dick with an E.
Just the coolest.
I’ll be praying for you tomorrow. Over and over.
DICK WITH AN E!
Yes, BLK, it’s THE Bill O’Neil, the man is alive and well and survived CGI robbing him of the Pilsbury Dough Boy!
I saw Bill in the behind the scenes pictures and the man hasn’t changed a bit. He is the Dick Clark of… well, whatever the hell Bill O’Neil does or is.
Too much time on my hands: Continuity problems. The letters or tick tack toe game is spilled, then reorganized by the end. BTW, What is the deal with a tick tack toe game on a bed? Is this some sex game I do not know about. If so, I reeeeally need to learn.
Yeah, not too sure what that tick tack toe game is doing on the bed. Kinda weird. It obviously weirded out Tim, too. He couldn’t handle it.
I think that fancy people that can afford Smithe furniture often have board games strewn upon their bed… It’s a class thing, Ken.
Yes, BLK, Bill looks exactly like he did in 1996. And I believe it’s Dicke Clarke.
Fucking hilarious Ken. SHIT! He’s onto us! That’s not the real Tim Smithe. We just took shots from his commercials and superimposed.
holy sh!t, this is amazing. thank you for bringing tears of hilarity to my eyes today. i’m going to watch this over and over!
“There’s no furniture in jail. We need to shop here.”
Didn’t catch this until my 3rd viewing. Genius.
