Hi guys, a note of coincidence that defies reality but here
goes. My
wife and I are devoted fans and consider a Friday without I S
a washed
out week. ... I was working with some of my company
information trainers a few weeks ago, you know the "bring
in the staff
from the boonies and give them training dog and pony show."
When It was
my turn to do my segment of information training I took my place
at the
head of the room and what to my wonderment did I see but two
staff
members at table three all the way from Edmonton and without
a lie their
name tags on the desks in front of them were....
yup WALLY & MERK (SORRY MURK SOME GUYS JUST CANT GET A NAME
RIGHT).
This caught me by suprise and I couldn't get my head into the
right
frame. Unfortunately I had difficulty explaining my inability
to
continue every time I looked at these guys. Thank god you guys
are
better looking than those 2 knuckle dragging mouth breathing
yahoos from
the west.
Keep going on with the shows you are the best late night laugh
we
get!!!

I fell asleep one night watching the Comedy Network, and woke
up to see a
talking penis. Imagine that! (ROTFL)
Internet Slutts is the best kept secret on TV. I only wish
I had caught the
first few episodes. Any chance of re-runs? Hope you guys make
it BIG! Can't

I just watched "Wally's Muddled Muse," I have been
killing myself
laughing since I first saw your show, and I can't believe that
you missed
the classic line of all time. When Wally and Murk are exploring
the
"SEEMEN" site and looking at the mechanical penises
and commenting on
kitchen appliances, he didn't use the line: "It slices,
it dices, it does
Julienne fries!" All and all, I think that your show is
a scream, and
recommend it to all of my friends that I know are "twisted"
enough to truly
enjoy it. Ian Downey Burlington, Ontario
Steve replies,
You're right - we missed that one....
but perhaps it's for the better. We
avoid a confrontation with Ronco's handy dandy lawsuit-o-matic.

Hey I love the show it's fucking hilarious. It reminds me of
a show from
MTV, Sifl and Olly. They are two socks almost as nasty as you
guys, but you
guys are CANADIAN. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!
So how come you don't have any sound bites from your shows to
download
on your web page? It would be so funny if I could have Murk swearing
like
when he gets his tongue (or tounge) "pierced" with
a stapler, you know stuff
like that.
Well, keep up the funny shit

Steve replies,
I'll ask John and Brian (who actually
know how a computer works) if that
can be added to the site. And some day I hope to have an extended
dance mix
of Murk's stapler cussing made available.
John replies,
Hi Steve, this is a good idea. I will
start to work on sound bites when I get back from Vancouver.

Hi, just wanted to say that your show really rocks. I piss myself
laughing every time I watch. I think a great episode would be
one that
focused on sexual apparel. You know, lingerie, bondage stuff,
weird
things like that. Then Wally and Murk could dress up in leather
and
whatnot. Keep up the good work and please never stop. Good day,
John,

Steve replies,
Wally checks out fetish costumes in
"WallyFest," and Murk looks for hunky
male bedroom apparel in "Amurkan Gigolo," so stay tuned!

Subject: Bunch of Questions
Hi. Exce-fucking-llent show!! Just stumbled upon "Wally's
New Hobby"
after tuning to Tom Green to watch him make an ass out of himself
in his
usual ways. "Slutts," on the other hand was actually
witty and funny.
Never laughed harder, nor have I seen anything so outrageous,
twisted,
and fucked up in my entire life (trepanning--classic!). Shows
like
South Park pale in comparison.
What are some of the contributing influences to this program
and the
inspirations for its characters? They remind me of a cross between
Beavis 'n Butthead and Eddie and Richie from the British comedy
program
"Bottom" (of course, after getting their minds severely
warped by all
the worst shit that the Internet has to offer).
Anyway, I just want to say keep up the great work! From reading
feedback from other viewers here, there must be other episodes
that are
at least as good. I see a potential hit show in the making, so
be sure
to promote it well, and don't let such an excellent idea and
creative
talents such as yours go to waste due to lack of publicity and
its
resulting poor ratings. Are there any US or International broadcast
deals in the foreseeable future, by the way? Or do you intend
to keep
this Canada's best kept secret? Any feature movie plans?
Finally, how the prospects of getting another time slot during
the week
from the network? I just discovered the show for the first time
last
week, and would like a chance to catch up on all the reruns,
starting
from Episode 1.
Anyways, it is nice to see we have some pretty fucked-up minds
making
some great comedy in this country of ours blowing away the big
guns in
the US and the UK. ;)
Sincerely,
Bill K.
Coquitlam, BC
Steve replies,
Wow. Thanks!
We claim many cultural and comedic influences
- some genuinely and some
merely for convenience. (When I pitched Internet Slutts to the
Comedy
Network, I said it'd be kind of like Mystery Science Theatre
3000 - except
I'd never actually seen Mystery Science Theatre 3000.) We're
all fans of
British comedy, and the smarter US sitcoms. Ron and I both toiled
on the
B circuit - a kind of substrata of entertainers comprising jugglers
and
magicians and prop comics who'd been banned from Yuk Yuks - so
there's a
bit of that neo-vaudeville attitude carrying over, too.
We hope to be able to convince the Australians,
the Brits and the Americans
to pick up the show, although we'll have to invest in a heavy-duty
bleep
machine for the Americans. We've heard Germans are into adult
puppet shows,
and Wally kind of looks like a Bratwurst, so they might be a
possibility.
I'm not sure we'll ever make a feature,
because in order to get Telefilm
money we'd have to set the story in some miserable little northern
town
overseen by a character played by Graham Greene and one of the
puppets
would have to die in the end.
As for a new time slot, the Network
is looking at re-running us a bit
earlier on Saturday nights, but they're worried that some of
the more
controversial images (the pierced anus, for example) might have
to be
masked - or maybe replaced by a dramatic recreation involving
a donut and a
nail.

Hey Wally!
Ya know.. it is so funny... after catching IS for the first
time, I
couldn't help thinking how I had not seen anything so amusing
since I
useta religiously watch the Ralph Benmergui show in order to
catch "The
Left Hand of Frank"... I don't know why I pinged some kind
of connection
there. Then I started digging deeper into your web site and find
out
that you ARE Frank.. THE Frank! Hey man, it's so cool to see
your stuff
again. Maybe you can work some "mice" into the B/G
of a scene or two,
heh heh.
Also appreciated the Zappa reference in tonight's show...
lol!
Interesting continuity on your eyes BTW... the bad one kept
healing and
then swelling again. Ooops!

Wally and Murk,
Are there plans to put together a VHS compilation of your

so far. Keep
the shows cumming, and keep us in touch.

We hope to offer tapes eventually, but
our contract with the Network says
they get to air the hell out of the series first -- so we hope
you'll be
able to catch the shows you missed soon.

innuendoes, I never would've
noticed any. Thanks!

Have you guys considered marketing Wally and Murk toys? Not
really
toys, but little dolls, sort of. I think if you sold them on
your site,
you'd be raking in the dough. If they were available, I know
I'd be saving
up my milk money to buy both a Wally doll and a Murk doll. They're
just too
creative looking to resist. And if you do, please, for the love
of god,
set the price in Canadian dollars, not American dollars. Us Canucks
take a
beating if we buy ANYTHING online. Your show is great! I love
it to death!
It's my favorite show on the Comedy Network. It's the most creative
thing
I've seen in a long time. And the design of the puppets is great!
I was so
shocked when I saw a little penis shaped puppet surfing the net.
Keep up
the good work! By the way, which operating system do Wally and
Murk use?
Linux?
Thanks, Greg Morrison
Steve replies,
Murk uses a Mac, with system 8, I think.
(We had so many Apple computers
going it's hard to remember who was operating with what. For
research I
used a PowerMac 7200 and Brian an iMac. We had an old Quadra
in the editing
suite, and several Macs ranging from Powerbooks to Gsomething-or-others
at
the studio and at John's place. When we have a screen shot of
a Web site in
an episode, it would have been grabbed from any of four different
machines.)
As for merchandizing, we'd love to offer
figurines and other goodies, and
hope to be able to eventually. Our continuity person Lesley has
already
put her deposit on a vibrating version of Wally.

Last Friday I was channel surfing and I stopped when I saw
Murk. He was
searching the 'net for body piercings. I said to myself "What
the hell
is this?"
I kept watching, shocked at the vulgarity of the program.
I looked in
the TV guide and kept asking myself...is this some kind of joke?
I
fully expected the signal to be cut off shortly. By the end of
the show
I was curled into the fetal position in a corner of my living
room,
rocking back and forth and mumbling incoherently.
So Friday night arrived again and I asked myself....geeze,
should I set
the VCR? I found myself drawn to the show, in some sick perverted
way...like one feels compelled to watch a reality based show
on FOX.
"When the Internet goes bad"...etc.
Anyway, I love the show now and I'm hooked. Then I came to
your site
here and read the outtakes. I feel like I've had some sort of
religious
experience. I filled my kids pool with beans today and my wife
hasn't
been able to get me out since.
It all makes sense to me now.....BEANS ARE GOOOOOD!!
Take care and keep up the good work....
