My name is Ben Schwartz, I was a freelance writer for Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update and the Late Show with David Letterman's monologue. After two years of freelancing, a large number of my jokes made it to air. However, for every joke that was accepted there was a pile of jokes that were rejected. This is the story of those jokes...and more recently, other short films and projects I've been working on.
It's been over two years since I launched RejectedJokes.com. So, I was looking through some old files and found this video from July 2006 of Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite (Efren Ramirez) plugging the website. Sorry for not posting more frequently but new short films and fun projects are on the way!

Due to SuperDeluxe merging with Adult Swim, my last SuperDeluxe short won't be premiering until late July. I apologize for the delay but to ease your frustrations, here is a video that has the ability to make anyone around my age smile.

ESPN wanted to do a short film on flopping in the NBA...so, with 15 minutes, a tiny camera and my Kerry Kittles jersey, we made this.

Welcome to the second installment of Photo Hunt. You know the drill, spot the differences between the two pictures. The answers are below the second image, so make sure to really study the pictures and write down your answers before you scroll all the way down.

Here I am in a commercial for Motorola. I'm the one eating cereal and talking about scorpions. Although I haven't seen it yet, supposedly it's airing on TV and in certain movie theaters before the movie starts. So now you can say "GET THAT KID OFF THE SCREEN AND GET TO IRON MAN ALREADY!!!" and know exactly who you are angry at.

The website I've been doing short films for recently, SuperDeluxe.com, is going out of business and merging with AdultSwim.com. Before the merger is final, I have one more short film that should be premiering soon. With SuperDeluxe ending, I'm trying to figure out the fate of Bronx World Travelers and the other shorts I did on the site but hopefully everything will work itself out. In the meantime, here is a picture of Shia LaBeouf and Harrison Ford on a motorcycle.

Here is the latest installment of my web series Bronx World Travelers entitled Episode 5 - Let's Play. It's the one on one game to end all one on one games. The embedded player really doesn't do the picture quality justice, so please, click on the link below the video to see the short in the preferred higher resolution. You can watch all of the Bronx World Traveler episodes using the links below the video.

Last Thursday, in honor of finals week, CollegeHumor pulled an all-nighter with its fans and attempted to make ten short films in twelve hours. I stopped by the office at 1:30AM and alongside David Fishel, Amir Blumenfeld and Sam Reich hoped to aid in the quest to ten. All we had was a wheelchair, fifteen minutes and a dream.
