Keith Haskel IRL

I absolutely love documenting weird shit in public. Oftentimes, I instigate it. Here's some of that:

"FETCH! 2: Golden Grapes" w/ Martin Urbano & Jo Firestone

My second installment of FETCH!, a series in which I find obscure things for comedians or else I am forced to face terrible consequences.

Chris Gethard Presents 102: "Fetch / The Talk" with Keith Haskel. Featuring Chris Gethard, Connor Ratliff, Negin Farad, Ophira Eisenberg & Leah Bonnema

My first episode of Chris Gethard Presents includes the first installment of my series FETCH! and a conversation with my father that I wish I never had.

WHAT TIME IS IT? SHOWTIME!

Dorks (my wife and I) battle subway dancers.

Funny Or Die/truTV/Fusion/Public Access

The Chris Gethard Show was a real life Wayne’s World. We went from a labor of love public access show to a live cable TV series executive produced by Will Ferrell and Zack Galifianakis.

We had a 7-year run and I appeared on camera as the party-loving-and-eco-friendly Bananaman and off-camera as the Co-Executive Producer. I've put so much time into show that it's now engrained in my family's DNA: I met the lovely Bethany Hall when the show first started, and now we’re married with three kids!

My highlights through the years include trying to expose a secret society, performing at Bonnaroo and the road trip leading up to it, guessing what's inside a dumpster, dancing to awesome bands and annual holiday specials with the World's Greatest Dancer Rob Malone.

"We Cause Scenes"

One of my favorite hobbies of the past decade has been shooting, editing, producing and occasionally appearing in the prank troupe Improv Everywhere's social experiment "missions".

From annual worldwide no pants subway rides to clown-car port-a-potties to thousands of people listening to an adventure-creating MP3, it’s been a real trip being one of the forces helping Improv Everywhere live up to their tagline, "we cause scenes".

the scum-bum exposing adventures

Murf Meyer, a wild-man with a rocky past, makes it his mission to expose an evil secret society from Chapel Hill, NC known as the Order of Gimghoul.

We spent a few years chasing them down and the results were questionable.  Here's that saga:

Reclaiming Public Space

While studying film & TV at NYU, I befriended and collaborated with the awe-inspiring artist Aakash Nihalani who opened my eyes to the wonderful, whimsical and wild world of street art.

That relationship lead to me making "Spending Time With Poster Boy," a micro-doc that was featured on the front page of YouTube as well as in the Oscar-nominated documentary "Exit Through The Gift Shop". Kanye West even blogged about it and it now has over 1,000,000 views to date.

Here are videos I one-man-band'ed: I shot, produced, directed and edited these myself.

Spending Time With Poster Boy
Spending Time With Hanksy
New York Street Advertising Takeover
Aakash Nihalani's STOP POP & ROLL
Poster Boy: Gone Fishin
Spending Time With Jon Glaser (Delocated)

This isn't street art, but it's part of my Spending Time With interview series.  Jon Glaser, maaaaaan... that guy's the absolute best.

Spending Time With Posterchild
How To Beat Meat On The Subway by Poster Boy
Spending Time With Deeq-Fore

After being engulfed in the street art world, I couldn't help but poke some fun at the self-righteousness of it all.

An alter-ego, kind of.

I showed up to The Chris Gethard Show in 2011 wearing a banana costume, and I never really stopped.  Immediately dubbed "Bananaman," I quickly became a recurring socially-conscious party-loving character performing all over the US, including a cross-country Bonnaroo-sponsored road trip.

Bananaman Won't Tap Out

I’ll never tap out!!!!

COMEDY WEB VIDEOS

I love directing, editing, shooting and writing absolutely weird web-videos.  My favorite location? On the streets.

Collaborators include Rob Malone, The Chris Gethard Show and UCB Comedy.

Used to make these for fun in my spare time. Here’s a sampling:

FLICK THAT BEAN

Sorry Toilet.
COCK CUTTERS (NSFW)

Challenged by the producers of The Chris Gethard Show to come up with the scariest, most disgusting video for a Halloween episode, Rob Malone and I came up with this.

We ultimately turned it into a trilogy and are equal parts embarrassed and amused by the results.

COCK CUTTERS 2: BEEFY/JUICY (NSFW)
COCK CUTTERS 3: GOD'S COCK (W/ Conner O'Malley) NSFW

Our third and final (as of now) extremely blasphemous installment of the series features Conner O'Malley.

Date Sandwich (with Broad City's Ilana Glazer)

Before signing on to star in Broad City, Ilana agreed to star in this stupid video.

Blissful Thinking

Executive Producer/Showrunner

Blissful Thinking is a comedic and socially-conscious social experiment series for Seriously.TV/Hulu.  It’s got stigma-erasing interactive installations, fact-filled monologues, lots of goofy animations and much much more.  There are 18 episodes in total and each one analyzes a different social issue.

Sadly, it’s hard to find this series now that Go90 and Seriously.TV have folded! …Bummer!
