This actually looks like it's going to work.

Here's a sneak-peek of the Sklar Brothers "web-com" Back on Topps.



New episodes will debut Tuesdays and Thursdays at backontopps.com

Sweet Mullet of Gary Gaetti!

Most of you have probably seen it already, but Deadspin just posted a two-minute preview of the Sklar Brothers Topps webcom.

Topps: The Pilot Episode.

(The scene, the boardroom. Jason and Randy are about to preside over their first board meeting as joint-CEOs of Topps.)

Jason: The first meeting of the Topps Board of Directors is now in session. Randy, do you want to....

Randy: ... take the roll? Sure thing little brother. Let me get out the sheet here and call everyone's....

Jason: ... names?

Randy: ... ummm, yeah. Mr. Eisner?

Michael: Here.

Randy: And finally..., hey, ummm, Jason?

Jason: Yeah, Randy.

Randy: Who's this guy? (pointing to name on roster list)

Jason: Oh, that's the new guy. Louie!

Announcer: And now...Louie! The guy who comes in and says his catch phrase over and over again.

Louie: HEY EVERYBODY!


All: LOUIE!!!

Louie: Who's got something for me?

Sy: I do.

Louie: What is it?

Hey, I wanna dip my balls in it!

All: YAY!!!

Louie: Hey Olby, what you got there?

Louie: What do I want with it?
I wanna dip my balls in it!

All: YAY!!!

I wanna dip my balls in it!

All: YAY!!!

Allen: A dozen Topps Heritage short-prints?

Louie:

All: YAY-awwwwww

Louie?

Louie: You've heard it all before!

Allen: No we haven't.

Louie: You've heard it all before.

Jason and Randy: No! We haven't.

Louie: You've heard it all before!

All: Oh no we haven't!

Louie: I'm sorry, I can't say it.

All: (gradually increasing in volume) Louie! Louie! Louie! Louie! Louie! Louie! Louie! Louie!

Louie: HEY! EVERYBODY!!!!

All:
I WANNA DIP MY BALLS IN IT!

Topps: The Sitcom.

When Mickey Buysner Michael Eisner bought Topps last year and announced that it would "turn Topps into a media brand in the mold of Disney," some of us didn't know what to expect.

We now have some sort of an idea. As Scott Kelnhofer reported on this week's Sports Collector's Radio, the Topps will produce a web-based sitcom starring these guys....


The Sklar Brothers from Cheap Seats.

The plot? The Sklar's inherit a trading card company and appoint themselves CEO. Hilarity ensues! (So that's who came up with Kazuo Uzuki!)

More info as it develops.
