Props to Mike Connolly for placing me in the loop on this video.
The back story, at least according to the site hosting it, is that when Edgar Bronfman, Jr., gained ownership of Universal Studios, he got into some odd marketing campaign practices, one of which is this rare employee orientation video that enlightened people about how things were going to change under new management. It was commissioned to be written and directed by Matt Stone and Trey Parker, but Bronfman didn’t like it, so they scrapped it.
Apparently, Bronfman doesn’t know comedy. This thing is HILARIOUS…and it’s got more cameos than you can shake a stick at, none of which I want to spoil for you, except to say that they’re major names. Seriously. There’s also a running gag about the studio’s new connection with Seagram’s Wine Coolers that’s really funny.
