Episode 20,110,312
SYRACUSE, IN

Hilarious comedian Chad Riden arrived at the venue and parked his car. As he walked around the corner toward the front door, it BURST open and a very, VERY drunk couple were THROWN out. In the air. By big dudes.

They tumbled into a group walking in, who pushed them back into the bouncers. The drunk guy said, “WOAH, we’re getting’ thrown out AND BACK IN!”

Chad as Tiny Tim in George C. Scott’s “A Christmas Carol”

Merry Holiday Times Or Whatever!

Here’s my annual Holiday Times posting of the clip of me starring as Tiny Tim in George C. Scott’s “A Christmas Carol.” Enjoy:

I produced this for the WBXX-TV Christmas video in 1998. Everybody thought I was a weirdo. Not much has changed since then.

Chad Riden in Classic “Mean Joe Green” Coke ad

I play the kid in the now classic “Mean Joe Green” Coca-Cola ad way back in the day. By the way, I fully realize how dumb this is.. but the idea just cracked me up.

Back when I still had a day job doing nerd work at Vanderbilt, I thought this up one morning on my drive in to work. When I got to my computer, I slapped it together and had it uploaded to YouTube by 8:57 AM. So, I hope you enjoy this stupid thing that took me about an hour to do while on the clock at work. Of course, this story is a perfect example of why I am completely unemployable.
