What is Young Pups? |
Young Pups is a sketch comedy show created by a group of friends and I for the University of Houston student TV station. We had a blast doing the show, and have even been told that the show is funny. We were very into Quentin Tarantino at the time, so the show contains many references to Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. Also, copious amounts of fake blood. |
Wow, that sounds great! Where should I start? |
We made a total of five
episodes. In the first two episodes, we were hampered with outdated
equipment and a total lack of television production knowledge. Some
of the concepts we came up with were funny, but alas, the execution
was lacking. Dialogue in many of the sketches is close to inaudible,
and the five year old second generation video tapes did not hold
up well. |
Where did the name Young Pups come from? | Like I said, we were quite into Reservoir Dogs at the time we started up the show. Also, for some reason, we were also watching Dune on at least a daily basis. There's a scene in Dune where Gurney Halleck meets Paul in the desert and greets him with a hearty "You Young Pup! You Young Pup!" and Paul responds with "Gurney Man!" I think it was Bob that came up with the idea to use that for the name of the show. Hence, the show is Young Pups, by GurneyMan Productions. |
Hey Ryan, don't you have anything better to do than maintain a web page about a show you did in college five years ago? | No. |
