We’re moving to Los Angeles this month.  If you’re a mythical beast within driving distance of Fuquay, NC, we’d like to invite you to swing by our previously undisclosed Kave to meet us and take a piece of memorabilia back home with you.

RSVP to the Facebook Event and invite all the mythical beasts you know!

Commercial Kings Season Finale!

Only two more episodes of season 1 of Rhett & Link: Commercial Kings! Tune in to IFC this Friday night at 10pm to see us take on the mean streets of Reno, NV. So far on this season, you’ve seen us work with animals (both alive and taxidermized). Now, it’s time for us to break the other rule of who not to work with in showbusiness and attempt to direct a commercial full of kids. And yes, Bill Cosby was right. They say the darndest things. Here are a couple of previews.

As always, don’t forget to join in on the conversation on Twitter during the show, using hashtag #CommercialKings. And, if you haven’t checked in on GetGlue while watching the show, make sure to do it! Even if you can’t watch the show, you can still check in on GetGlue to support Commercial Kings and win free stickers from GetGlue. Pretty Mythical arrangement if you ask me.

That’s Friday night at 10pm on IFC! Or you can watch on iTunes or Amazon, as always.

Freakin Ridiculous! Tonight on C.Kings

Our last episode of Rhett & Link: Commercial Kings created quite a stir. I wonder why. Maybe it had something to do with this commercial:

Thanks again to Richard Marx. He is one of the coolest guys ever. So fun to work with, and so willing to have fun with this concept. And, of course, he was a natural when we sat down to write this song together.

FULL Episode of Commercial Kings

With the third episode of Rhett & Link: Commercial Kings premiering tomorrow night and the Loco Awards in full swing, there’s no better time to talk about the ingredients of a great local commercial. The local commercial is an American institution. We’ve been inspired by these low-budget masterpieces for years, and it’s a privilege to make them week in and week out on our show. You might be tempted to think that unforgettable local commercials are simply beautiful accidents; some kind of collision between misguided concepts and amateur acting. We, however, are firm believers that there is a method behind the madness, and that a truly legendary local commercial is a refined form of art. A book could be written about the keys to making memorable spots, but we’ll keep it at five tips.

Concept is King
It may seem obvious, but too many commercials leave out this most important piece: a good idea. Local commercials are, well, local. You’re not dealing with a big budget. You can’t pay for a big-time actor. You can’t afford flashy special effects. You need a concept that grabs and holds the audience’s attention.

Tell the Truth
The truth is stranger (and better) than fiction. Our local commercials are rooted in whatever we learn about the business and business owner. When we discovered that Bill, a 70 year old hot yoga instructor, was a decorated war hero and automatic weapons expert in Vietnam, we knew that we had to capitalize on that authentic irony. It was better than anything we could have fabricated.

Use What you Find
Again, local commercial don’t carry big budgets. You’re not in a position to hire a stuntman or get that money shot from a helicopter. But, you might be surprised if you look right under your nose. When we met Heavy Hill, a private trash hauler in Asheville, NC, we also met his beloved pet mule, Jack. By simply giving Jack a single horn made of a paper towel roll and aluminum foil, we created the Trashicorn, a flying unicorn perfect for a trash man.

Have a Strong Point of View
A commercial slot allows only a few precious seconds to communicate your message, and that message better be clear and memorable. Troy, the owner of an African-American hair salon, asked us to create a commercial for him to reach outside of his usual demographic. When Troy states in his commercial that he wants to serve all women, including “non-black” ladies, we doubt many people will turn the channel before seeing the commercial through.

Sing It
The most unforgettable local commercials have a jingle that sticks in your ear like that worm from The Wrath of Khan. When someone wishes that they could forget the jingle from your commercial, you’ve succeeded. And that doesn’t mean it has to be good. Rather, it has to be memorable, and that just might mean that it’s annoying.

Now, all you have to do is find a local business owner willing to take a chance with you as you follow these steps. Then, create your commercial and maybe that mom ‘n pop entrepreneur will become a local celebrity (and hopefully get some business, too).

New episodes of “Rhett & Link: Commercial Kings” air on IFC on Fridays at 10 p.m. ET.

Mythical Marriage Proposal

We’re just about a week out from the premiere of our new TV show, Rhett & Link: Commercial Kings! It premieres next Friday, June 24th at 10pm on IFC. In an effort to get the word out about the show, we’re releasing a few commercials ahead of time, including Hill Garbage Service, Holiday Hotel for Cats, and today’s commercial for Presidential Car Wash. The owners, Roger and Dipika, were an absolute pleasure to work with. We appreciate their willingness to go along with our idea to have them perform as rapping presidents (and a few other American icons). Our goal is to bring new customers out to the car wash, and we’re confident that this is gonna do it.

How did Roger and Dipika feel about dressing up for their commercial? How did they bust out such sweet rhymes? You’ll have to watch Rhett & Link: Commercial Kings to find out. This will be featured on the second episode (July 1st), which is also the same episode that will be released next week on Hulu for free. So keep an eye out for that!

Also, don’t forget we will be broadcasting LIVE on YouTube every Friday night at 10:30pm ET (7:30 PT) during the encore episode of all ten shows (the previous week’s show airs right after the new show every Friday night).

So, what do you think about this one? Do you really agree with Dipika that “No one makes it rain like Roger?”

No One Makes It Rain Like Roger

Well, this kinda makes it official. We must REALLY be getting our own TV show, because there’s a billboard in NYC with us on it. We didn’t even know this was happening, but it’s pretty dang cool! Don’t miss the premiere on IFC on June 24th at 10pm! More info on the show here.

If you can find this thing in NY, then take a picture of yourself in front of it and post it to our Facebook page or the RhettandLinKommunity and we’ll feature it!
