Out of all the low budget sketch comedy groups you find on YouTube, the Derrick Comedy team were always one of the best; although maybe they could have picked a better name...
If you don't remember them, let me remind you: there was their magnum opus Bro-Rape, then there was this one, oh yeah and this one too. They have plenty more, but those three will be enough for now.
According to Paste Magazine, their feature length movie, Mystery Team , just got picked up by Roadside Attractions and we'll all be seeing it on the big screen. The movie looks pretty promising. Also, I just found out that their most enthusiastic bro-rapist, Donald Glover, has been writing for 30 Rock and actually performed on the show. I have to say I'm really happy to see a bunch of funny dudes who started with YouTube and College Humor videos to be breaking into the industry. It's a beacon of hope to the rest of us who watch contemporary comedy and say: " I could do better". Maybe someday I'll get off my ass and start out the way they did, but for now I'll just watch Bro-Rape for the 100th time:
