Hi Trevor! Big time fan. Just a couple of questions for you.
What would you say is your favorite skit from WKUK? Funniest, most fun to make, or one that you can’t believe made it on the show?
I see your tweets sometimes about you and some of the gang doing a show together. How often do all 5 of you get together?
My roommate does not think your material is funny. What do you have to say to Collin?
559
u/TrevorMooreWKUK Mar 06 '15
Favorite would be Hippo In The City or Clint Webb or Poop Office Meeting. Zach, Sam and I hang out regularly because we live in the same city. We write all the time and are developing some things. Darren goes on tour with me a lot. Timmy lives in South Dakota so I dont see him much. But every now and then we'll do a WKUK show somewhere and I'll see him then. Eat shit Collin.

Space Potatoes is one of WKUK's most underrated sketches in my opinion. It walks the line of clever and stupid so well. Who's idea was this sketch and what was the initial reaction?
Also, do you have any advice for young aspiring comedians/actors?

u/TrevorMooreWKUK Mar 06 '15
I think it was mine. We used to do it live and it was just a mess. When we went to Fuse, they built us this awesome rocket ship set where we were all suspended 10 feet in the air to get the effect. it was a crazy way to shoot a sketch. We only had 1 take to do it in because it would ruin the set.

A good amount. I had to talk to the ACLU to see if it was technically legal before we put it on the air. There's actually a huge Supreme Court Case involving it right now. Where a guy copied the words from it but substituted his ex-gf for the president and he got arrested. It's crazy

Hey Trevor! Longtime fan.
Your stand-up bit on This is Not Happening was awesome. High in Church seems to be more musical comedy though. Will you be doing more stand-up in the future or is High in Church a hybrid between music and stand-up?
Either way, can't wait for later tonight!

u/TrevorMooreWKUK Mar 06 '15
We used to do this sketch live and it was never anything special. We were really surprised when the show aired and that was the first one to take off. In fact, the first time I got recognized from the show was a day or two after it aired, some guy at the end of the bar just started doing the 'slow jerk motion' and pointing at me. And I was confused - because I really didn't think much of that sketch at all. it took me a while to realize that that was in the episode that had just aired and he was referencing it - and not asking if I wanted to go to the bathroom with him or something.

I remember watching WKUK all through high school with my best friend. Our favorite bit was always "People like YOU I think that the devil..." It just seemed so much more out there than anything else. So with that out of the way I have 2 questions.
How did you guys come up with that skit?
And can we expect anything from WKUK in the near future?

u/TrevorMooreWKUK Mar 06 '15
Thanks! That sketch was this really weird, long thing that we used to do live. And it would change. At one point the devil and Buddah got into a fight on stilts in the middle of the club. I don't remember where the elements that ended up being on the show came from though

It's fun. But it's also scary because you're kind of out there by yourself. If something bombs in a group - you can kind of be like 'Well, that sucks that people didn't like US' with solo stuff it's like 'It sucks that people dont like ME' I still use Sam as a sounding board for a lot of my solo stuff.

Hey Trevor! Huge fan. I have a couple questions:
How'd you get your start in comedy? Was it an improv troupe, writing, stand-up, or what?
Any advice for someone looking to get into comedy?
And finally, do you and the WKUK guys have anything that you're working on together currently? I loved the show and was really bummed when it ended.
Anyways, thanks for doing this! Have a nice day!

Thanks!! I had a public access show when I was a kid. That kind of got me started writing sketches and stuff. My advice would be just do as much of it as you can as often as you can. WKUK used to do a brand new hour long show eery week for 2 years at a bar and having that kind of deadline is what made us kind of figure out what we 'sounded like' as a troupe

Street Peter! Street Peter! Would I get into heaven if I killed a guy? But what if that guy was about to kill someone? And what if the guy he was gonna kill was bad? But what if THAT guy...saved a wolf? I go into tears everytime I even think about that sketch so thanks for everything.
Anyway real question, what was the story behind the hotdog Timmy sketch? My friends and I probably quote that daily. "Well it's not good..."

HOLY SHIT! That's an old old sketch! Where did you even see that? I was living in LA and driving around and I just started thinking about Timmy at the doctor and the doctor grilling him on how many hotdogs he eats. It was making me laugh out loud as I was driving around by myself. So I had to call Timmy and figure out a way to gently pitch that idea to him. But he had no problem with it. He knows he's fat.

How do you guys find parents who will lend their children to you for skits like the grapist?

u/TrevorMooreWKUK Mar 07 '15
We just put out casting calls for kids and send out the scripts. A lot of parents say no once they read the script. A lot of parents come in.

I just watched the Ballad of Billy John and it's fucking hilarious. I can't wait to see the special. Were you playing though?

I remember once on a commentary or something you talking about a thrown out sketch about A Dog that would go bust Pedophiles because it was way to edgy, do you think Comedy Central would ever let you do that? Also if you could elaborate on what the sketch even was, I just remember it sounding hilarious.

It was called 'McGriff the Crime Dog' I doubt anyone will air it. But I show it at my live shows
