“I don’t even have a rec room.” — Gee Trev, are times getting that tough?

The point still stands that in all reality, you COULD have done this in your rec room with no pants on, and honestly, it’s his bad for not taking advantage of that fact.

“Little PC”?

Trev, I’ll have you know my PC is every bit of 18 inches.

…

Kind of cool of him to do that, actually. Mark May would never do that.

I’d be scared if I were you EDSBS. Very cool of Trev though. Will he come after somebody else next?

Is it really Sprint Exclusive Entertainment if it’s available on YouTube?

BDoc says:

It looks like they only need one more member, and they could be the Village People of TV production. Maybe Trev is trying to recruit Orson as his cowboy.

Coop says:

It is sort of cool that he did this even though he could have done so much more with it and endeared himself to a world of fans to whom he is not Mr. Popular.

He also conveniently neglected to mention that O referenced that Trev is, in all likelihood, still pulling in more coin.

Anyway, I can see both sides of the issue, but when you go on TV as an analyst, you are a public figure and you should be prepared for whatever comes with it, and had Trev played this better, he could have been the 2nd coming of, “Uncle Verne.”

Conversely, I don’t think Trev Alberts really desires to be, “that guy.”

I wish the sky was as clear as that backdrop’s cloudless blue.

Coop says:

If it was “tongue in cheek,” it was horribly done.

Tongue in cheek would have been to play to it a little more, had a good laugh, etc.

I can see how Trev might have viewed his response in that manner, but it just does not come off that way, to me.

OPS says:

“What The Blog?” is the single worst sentence to come out of Trev’s mouth, and that was still incredible. My brain exploded.

I nominate Orson Swindle/Spencer Hall as the most influential person on the tubes and interwebs. He is the closest thing to E.F. Hutton that we have.

Kenny says:

And so the pecking order now goes Keith Jackson, Lou Holtz, Leather Berman, The Mighty O, the guy that writes FireMarkMay (tied with Pete and the big blue crew) and THEN Trey?

That’s powervision.

Boston Frog says:

So, is it that Trev doesn’t have a sense of irony at all or that his sense of irony is so developed that his humor went over my head and seemed completely serious?

When the camera panned back and showed the fake Atlanta backdrop against the brick wall, I couldn’t decide whether or not Trev was trying to make me laugh.

I’m going to be upset about this for the rest of the day. At least he was wearing pants.

So, Trev Alberts has “Gene Gene the Dancing Machine”* working the cameras?

Good for him!

* Gene Gene the Dancin’ Machine ended some Gong Shows with some spiffy dancing.

This is awesome.

#12 – I was thinking more along the lines of the Sprint College Football A-team. Trev can be Murdoch…….ok, fine Trev, you can be Faceman……

Oh, sure. He put on pants THIS time.

Brian says:

He really aught to have had on Nebraska Basketball shorts and a pair of New Balances. Lest he forget: Dude you are a “Talking Head.” Pants not necessary.

DevilGrad says:

Re #5: “Where is this done in ATL? Any guesses?”

I don’t know, but it sure as hell looks like his “multi-million dollar television facility” (with the brick wall behind him) does double duty as the stage at Shecky’s Comedy Barn.

DevilGrad says:

Oh, and Mr. Swindle, considering that you survived Beano Cook’s attempts to kill you in Bangkok, I doubt Trev will pose much of a threat.

Killing too much time on the Youtube, and saw this funny clip of two babes eating pobsicles on the old Gong Show. I’m still laughin’…..

George says:

It was pretty clearly tongue-in-cheek. For example, he talks about a fake Atlanta backdrop and then pans out to a… fake Atlanta backdrop. That’s called “irony.” In this case, it occurs where the audience knows more than the actors on stage. Had any of you gone to a Big-Televen school, you’d know this.

gerry dorsey says:

just the fact that trev felt the need to make this video means:

orson-2
trev-0

like trev couldn’t put on pants, go somewhere that wasn’t his rec room, and hire these dudes out in front of his local home depot just to shoot a 40 second video.

Whohah says:

This is pretty clearly an instance of Trev having a laugh at himself. This wasn’t *wink wink*, over-the-top self-immolation on his part — but give the guy some credit. He gets canned from ESPN (”THE WORLDWIDE LEADER IN SPORTS” …sorry, that got added automatically by my browser), and goes into the wilderness. He comes back, and has maintained a good sense of humor about it.

Making a genuine attack on EDSBS would be one thing (i.e.: making jokes about how its amateur hour, etc.), but the guy basically just plugged EDSBS on his show, returning the favor for EDSBS plugging his.

Am I one of the few who “got” his schtick? Worse yet — did Trev Alberts just manage to headfuck a bunch of college educated blog readers?

DC Trojan says:

Trev Trev Trev… look, we all google ourselves from time to time, you don’t have to pretend you’re an EDSBS reader. It’s okay.

As long as I’m handing out advice, Trev, it would have been funnier if you had been wearing a sarong with the suit jacket.

January 29th, 2008 at 2:27 pm

Coop says:

It would have been irony if the wife would have been there and he would have been wearing something like, as Brian suggested, some shorts and running shoes, or something along those lines.

It was too hit or miss in his “ironic response.”

But, again, I believe Trev Alberts is only going to go so far regarding playing along.

Kernel says:

It seemed very clear to me that Trev is in on the joke. I’ve always been of the opinion that the guy is a giant douche, but he gets points from me for this.

Bravo Trev. Way to be a good sport.

The pants were fine, but if he had only been wearing bunny slippers with them . . .

Mr. Wrong says:

I’m going to have to side with the tongue-in-cheek crowd on this one. The pull back to reveal the backdrop was pretty clearly a joke. I don’t know who all those dudes were, though. Way more crew than neccessary to shoot that video.

January 29th, 2008 at 2:45 pm

That 5.0 Guy says:

I still think it’s awesome the explosion of popularity we’ve all been witnesses to here at EDSBS. Every time a celebrity (even d-list) reacts, it’s funny. Regardless of whether he’s in on the joke or not, it’s still pretty impressive that Orson can actually not only garner the notice of said person but also inspire in them a new segment. So, Trev is siphoning off EDSBS?

Godspeed, gentlemen.

Jonathan says:

Everybody missed the best part of the video. He read out loud the words Orson had written. I got to hear them in Trev’s voice, are you kidding that made the whole thing even funnier… I mean I read them in my version of Trev’s voice, but having him read them out loud “No. NO! Stupid Trev”

Oh and it was definitely tongue in cheek. Not all jokes have to be blunt and in your face. Slapstick is not the pinnacle of humor.

TigerNacho says:

Good for you, Trev. Not as much unintentional humor as the everydayshouldbesuckmydick retort and not as much, “OMG, someone famous-ish just mentioned EDSBS,” like Verne on CBS.
Still, solid work. Thanks for playing. Best of luck to you on the career.

those guys look like some people he paid off the street to come in and play the part of “seasoned professionals”. the jamaican looking guy walking past the camera was hilarious.

Jeff from LA says:

I definitely give Trev props for poking fun at himself. He’s gotten a lot less serious and more self-deprecating these days. Its definitely a good thing. My opinion of him has gone from he’s a punk to maybe he’s an ok guy.

Billy in Baton Rouge says:

Sorry #42
Being cognizant of being a shithead does not make Trev less of one.

100+ cocktails to… oh wait, this isn’t Deadspin? Well, nice job by Trev and Swindle in this exchange. Let me know when you need someone else to mess around with. My old PE teacher, Mr/Mrs. Lamonte (never were too sure of the gender) would absolutely come and get you.

somedawg says:

Those of you taking this as an opportunity to sincerely attempt to slam Trev are quite possibly losers. I’m not quite sure, but it looks good.

The guy basically just said, “Well done and keep up the good work. Here’s a favorable mention.”

Could it have done better? Probably, but as it is, those of you who crave such things are riled up in a “Dude, did he just dis us?!”/lame 80’s Karate Kid villain sort of way, and that may well indicate the absolute perfect amount of tongue planted in cheek.

Sker in the Zou says:

Bravo to Senor Trev. I laughed out loud at this. He was just being a good sport, not an asshole about this whole deal. I think anyone who actually watched the video could tell he gave Orson the point for calling the fake ATL backdrop, but took a point b/c he was wearing pants…. which is more than we can say for some Wake Forest starting QBs.
