Rhett & Link on IFC ~ COMMERCIAL KINGS

  THE "BIG SECRET" IS FINALLY PUBLIC

 

Coming Soon: IFC Renews The Onion News Network Plus So Much More

By Melissa Locker on 03/23/2011

Pardon me. We have some very exciting news and need everyone making that drumrolling sound on the table with pencils, pens, and hands and whatnot. All set? Okay, commence drumroll please. IFC is pleased to announce that we have renewed the Onion News Network for a second season. Or in the words of Brooke Alvarez, "The Onion News Network has allowed IFC to broadcast our programming for a second season. You're welcome, huddled masses." However you spin it, we are excited to have the best (only?) news network on cable on our air for another season. Now to borrow a line from the best late night infomercials, but wait, there's more!

In addition, IFC has green lit four new original series: "Commercial Kings" from Reveille, "Young, Broke & Beautiful" produced by 44 Pictures, "Whisker Wars" produced by Thom Beers' Original Productions, and "Bullet in the Face," created and written by Alan Spencer. But don't order yet, because for a limited time we are willing to double that offer and give you two Ginzu knives two more original series currently in development. We are working on an untitled variety show hosted by Comedy Death-Ray's Scott Aukerman and "Pointless" created by Ethan Berlin and Eric Bryant, which came to IFC through the New York Television Festival.

What are these brilliant new shows we will soon be offering? Well they won't whiten your whites or organize your closet, but we are pretty sure these shows will (sham) wow you.

Commercial Kings premieres Friday, June 24th at 10 p.m. Starring filmmakers and comedy duo Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal, this docu-comedy series follows the pair as they travel across America, developing and producing commercials for local businesses. The show's concept is based on Rhett and Link's popular website, www.ilovelocalcommercials.com, which has made the duo an internet sensation with over 80 million views on YouTube.

Eddie - - there has not yet been an announcement on when /where /if DVDs will be sold for Season 1.  At present, you can buy individual episodes on iTunes the day after it airs on IFC, and the first episode was free.  When more information is available, I'll post it here . . . but in the meantime watch the show on cable and join the MB Commandos in the Kommunity Chat on Friday nights for the best times.

I started a discussion about this but there was no response so I'll try and ask it here in a more visited area. Will there be DVDs available to buy when the season ends? And what might be included on them?

I definitely freaked out.
The first time I saw the commercial for Commercial Kings, I was at the refrigerator and I looked over to the TV (we were watching Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) and I started screaming. "OH MY GOSH IT'S RHETT AND LINK I'M GONNA DIE." And yeah.

Well I saw the first 2 episodes since they were free but we just have the free antenna TV so no IFC for us. I don't want to spend money on the show on iTunes if there will be DVDs because I always want the physical copy of stuff. Especially if the DVDs would have some bonus features on them.

Which Hitchhikers was it? the new movie or the old tv special they did for all the books?

NO NEED TO GOOGLE ! ! !  just click on any of the images below if you want to visit the website for a business featured on an episode of Commercial Kings Season One.  These are the sites that I was able to locate, but perhaps you might find the few others that have eluded me . . .

A totally random RHETT SIGHTING ? ? ?

 

Pardon me for asking, but is that Rhett making a cameo guest appearance in this Friday night's premier episode of WHISKER WARS on IFC - - see at 0:42 in the promo.

I can see where he kinda does look like Rhett but... I wouldn't bet money on it. His eyes don't look quite right...

Okay . . . so maybe it's Rhett's creepy doppelgänger . . . or his twin cousin Brett McLaughlin.
